Trade Report.

Wholesale trade is still seasonably
dull and disastrous floods have checked
trade and transportation in the south
west. The situation, as whole, how
ever, is still far from unfavorable.
Higher prices for farm products of all
kinds favor some compensation to pro-
ducers from this source. The coun-
try's foreign trade promises well, fail
ures are down to low minimum and
bank clearings, though reduced by dull
ness in stock speculation, point to rec
ord totals outside of few important
speculative centers.
Relatively the best trade reports
came from the northwest and the coun-
try between the Ohio river and the
lakes and the Mississippi and the AL
leghanies. Mems wooden wear goods
are in fair demand and worsteds are
slow. Dress woolens are doing well
