day says:
Distributive trade is dull seasonably
so in most instances, and prices OF
manufactured products are generally
weak. but exceptions to the former are
found where crop conditions are excep-
;ionally promising and in the case OF
prices where the readjusting movement
has been oyerdone on the down side.
The upward rush of wheat prices
eliminated at the close of last week
and the reactions in irregularity since.
mainly due to heavy realizing, would
point to the movement having been
temporarily at least overdone. Advices
from the northwest are of little more
than half crop Of wheat, but esti-
mates as to the outurn in bushels vary
accordingly. as the government report
of 160,000,0s0 bushels, or the CONNER.
cial estimate of 200,000.000 bushels yield
last year in the three states are used
as a basis.
A short-lived scare on the reports OF
dry weather in the corn belt. sympathy

what is more important. apparent in

export account. was responsible for this
cereal reaching the highest point

err farm crops also sympathized. as did
most hog products. Butter is higher
on smaller receipts. Sugar is at the
highest price reached at this time for
ten years past owing to the active cam

sition Of raw. The war in China is
chargeable with the advance In teas,

he listened in his kindly way tothe vari-
Gus merits of the horses engaged in the

At last, to the bishops great relief, it
must be admitted, the train arrived.
and, shaking hands with his racing
friend. he got into a carriage. He had
not travelled very far, however, when.

raised he- hands and exclaimed fervently:
Thank God! thank Godi" Then the
emotion she had bravely suppressed when
her misfortune seemed at it's height over
came her on the relaxation of the strain, and
she broke into n torrent of tears.
Giving no further attention to Mrs. Babe

sunk into his chair, and was undergoing
