The movement in all lines OF supplies for
the week has been fairly gool. The city re-
taslers are curiaiing tnelr orders to some ex-
tent on account of the summer exodus and
thereby the jobbers are not getting as good
local business as during other months. The
country trade however. is fairly good. though
some complaint is heard from the iobbers
that business is hardly up to that for the
same season last year. due principally, they
say to the precautions taken by the furnish
ing merchants in letting out goods on crop
mortgages,
Staples maintain steady tone and firm
prices, with a fair demand should wheat
continue to decline as for the past few days
there is no reason why flour should not also
likewise decline. Crop reports show a large
yield and the continued heavy receipts at all
oenters is Indicative that there is yet a big
surplus on hand

flour was good the carly part Of this week.

FL retrato de Su Santidad es muy

Al verle, dijerase que vive por artih-

elevada estatura que 81 magrez de as

de una pa'idez extrema, nj morbi

Cristos espaholes; es una tez nacarada,

Mas que ningun otro rasgo, la nAri7,
de alas traducidas, revela la raza italia

lucen como carbunclos, reve,ando un
ardor singular que pierden veces apa

cnsuefo 6 en- el extasis; miranda sin
yer. La boca, desdentada, es ancha;
de abios flnos apenas rosados y en- sc
neral entreabertos por una sonrisa gra-
ciosa y protectora. Las manos, de pie
suave, sin duda robustas y largas anita
40, como las de todos los que vienen de
una raza hecha al manelo de las armas,
son descarnsdas nerviosas, casi di =
fanas; "uand0 reposan sob,e la blanca

La voz es aguda y sin matiz; pero
