The business so far for July is 81,500,000 below that of 1874, and nesrly 23,000,000 below that of 1873, but borrowers may take courage from the fact that the proportion of releases to incumbrances is increasing year by year, and hence, that the credit of the city is constantly advancing. Some of our Eaatern triends still adhere to 10 per cent for loans on Chicago real estate, but a few such disappoint- ments as have overtaken them lately will ensble them to sppreciate the fact that Chicago security is too good to be rated at so high & figure. Loan ageats are not jubilsnt over the prospects of the market, but they are not carried awsy by an excessive anxiety to do business; aro acting more cantionsly than ever, and scrutinizing ge- cunties very clogely. 1In fact, we do not believe there is & more honorable and cautious st of business men in the eity of Chicago than the Teal ostate loan agents.

AX UNUSUAL SEASON. As will be noticed, tho number of building ‘permits is much less than & few weeks ago, at the opening of tho aeason. Taking the season as & whole, the aclivity in the erection of new stores and dwellings bas been extraordinary. In commenting on this fact, the Building Jour- nal says: This season has never been exceiled except by that of the first year after the Lre, in point of the number ‘and magnitade of its building operations. It has been especially noted_for the largeness of single ventures undertaken sod completed, #nd in the course of completion, The experienca of builders has been uniformly such 2s o lead to a muld- buriness, fecls theeffect of the quiet that ordinar- ily comes with midsummer. A large proportion of our local capitalists, and of those from abroad tho are investors in Chicago realty, are st this time taking thewr anousl vacation, or indulging themselves in the rest the timo requirea. The oporations of the yeek will be seen by the sum- wary of sales below to bave included few trans- actions of importance. But the present quict s mors than the pause \int precedes the full - activity. It marks an interiude in il probability between wo distinct oras in the market. That which bas just closed it is hardly to be doubted is the end of the panic period. Unlees all the signs that aro usnally taken to denote the condition of real eatate are st fmalt, lended property in Cook County will from this time become a more and more merchantable commodity at better and bet- ter prices. Real estate here is chesp ; 1t is in Sovaens) BIiREsE A dewand, and will yield an income, as the heavy | Jilyon"of ‘tnesc instsnces of large invest- juvestments in building show. The city is in- | ment, No one hss had any dimculty in flling o renting st their option thess _long sressing in population sad prosperity. Therisein the value of the exportable products ot the North- west 18 looked 10 to producea generons revival of trade at this place. With thatimprovement, smployment at good wages will be offerod again 10 work-people, and the retsil dealors of the city will again find a profit in their buriness, These are the causes that producetne surplus of means among the people who alwass, in Chicago, put therr savings into real estate rather than into Subious ssvings banks. 1n another direction the growth of Chicago is beicg rapidly fed. The manulacturing iudustries that uzilize the facilities of Chicazo are constantly increasing in capi- tal aod importance. This is seen pariic- larly in South Chicsgo. A great deal of activ- ity prevails in this suburb on the banks of the Stretcies of handsome residenne blocks requiring the investment of many thousandsof dollars,” Asa gen- eral and striking feature of land operations this wholo- ale building has assumed great prominence.

The Chicago & Calumet Canal and Dock Com- paoy have 80ld 500 lots in toeir Subdivision, at an average prics of $600 esch. This subdivis- ijon was made on the 17th of Jaamary, 1574, and sompnsed 700 acres, 120 of wiich have river, dock, aud lake frontage. There are 2,000 mea now at work in South Chicago on the various industries gituated there, and this number will be greater when others Lhat are now in contemplation are finished. The Baltimore & Ohio Bairoad have contracted for three brick stations between Parkeide and South Chicago, to be built within next forty days—one av Stony Island and Seventy-third; one at Beventy-sixtl, and ope st Eighty-second streets. In addiuon to the J. H. Brown iron aud steck worlks, 8 new foundrs and machive shop is to be buils by E. L. Lamb & Co. Work has begun on tuis, and 1o eixty days it is expected that 1t will be completed. Its capacity wul Le from 50 to 100 tons of iron a day. The main bmlding, with s circular dome, will be %0 feet in dismeter, and the wing will bo % feet long. This foundry will oceupy 5 acres of ground beiween Niucty-niuth and One Hun- dredub gtreews, on the Bock Island brauch to the Loling Mills. ‘'be Chicago & Calumet Canal and Dock Com- pany bave openéd some new subdivisions to meet the demand, preseot and prospeciive, for Lomes for the manufacturing population of South Chicsgo. Iroudsle is the title of one of these. It is satuated ou the E. 3¢ of Sec. 13, 37, 14, and covers 320 ucres. 11 lies weatof the J. 1. Brown Iron and Stesl Manufeciuriug Company’s works, and is between One Hundred and Sizth and One Hundred and Fourteenth strects and Torrence and Willett avenues.

South and enst of this_suddivision is the ship canal, 1,000 feot long. whick hns besndredged by the Canul & Dock Company to connect Calamet River and Lake Calumet. The canal ias 750 feet of docks ready for use. ‘The Canal & Dock Company also placed on record, 29th of June, 1875, a subdivision of 150 2acres, Iyiog befween Ninety-fifth and Ninety- ninta streets, and Ashknm avenue and the’ niver. This is north of the now foundry and ma- chine-ahopa of . L. Lamb. Still another subdivision is one of 240 acres between Kinoty-ninth aud Ope hundred sad Bixth streots, and Torrence and Willard ave- nues. This was put on record July 10, 1875. Tho sales of tue week are given below, and call for no comment. Nicholis, Bragg & Co. bave sold 25 fest on ‘Wabash avenue, 70 feot north of Thirtieth street, for £2,500 caah. A. A Bigelow has sold 50 feot on Michigan av- eurue, south of Thirtv-fourth strest, snd 200 feet on Oakwood boulevard, for 830,000, William E. Dodge, Jr., has sold 48x150 feet, with fins business block, on State street, north of Madison, for $140,000; sold to George O. Dent building firms are simiiarly extending their | operations, There are no signs of overdoing the build- ing markel yet, nor is there Likely to be anysuch thing, It has been cstimated by s contemporary that nearly 3,000 honses are now building or planned. This i | perbops besond the actual number, but such has been andis lizely to be the experience of those who have ‘made investments in this way, that this is a small esti- mate compared to what would express in_number tho building operations of anotner year. The Journal witl venture to assert that the sears 1875-6 will witness the addision 1o this city of 15,000 dwellings and twenty- nve or thirty first-class blocks, beside a multitude of smaller trade piaces outside the present coumercial centre. EKENWOOD COURT. Eenwood court is to be extended =outh from Forts-eighth strees to Forty-ninth street, giv- ing a fine trontage tor building of 600 feet on each eide of street. Two hundred feet east front has been disposed of to parties in the city who will erect a double brick building G0 feet highby 74 fect decp, two stories high. The plans ‘show eomething entircly new for tius region for residence. The design of front ele- vationis of tho puro Tonic order. A large por- tico extends along the entire front, 12 feet wide, supported by columns 27 feet high. Back of col- cmns, under 2-story windows, run stone balco- nies with iron railing. The front will be faced with whito stone. Cost of both buildings will be abous £15,000. It will be a marked improvement for Kenwood. B TAFLIN ETREET. Trwelve two-story and basement brick houses sre now being built on Latlin street, between Poik and [aylor streets, and arrangements have been concluded during tiie pastiweek for the erection of fifty-six additional houses in the same block on Loomis and Tompkins streets. SOUTH EVANSTON. Building is active in South Evanston to an ex- tent that is grauifving as an evidence of the growth of the place. About ten new houses are under way in Warren, Keeney & Co.’s several sdditions between the railroad and the lake, and these houses, only baif way to ceapletion. give % new and lively appearance to the place. Through all the clo i times of the past two years those interestod in this suburb have bsen proceeding with improvemeats of all kinds. FLOEA.

The meeting of the Park Commissionera and citizens at the request of the former, on the grounds of the new 20-acre park at the inter- eectionfof Western avenue and Pavilion Park- way (Fifty-fifth strect), was described in full in our Thureday’s issue. We refer to it here sim- ply to say that this important improvement has the cordial approval of the people in the south- western part of the city, and of those in the Town of Lake in the vicinity of it. In fact,a glance at the map will show that the whole city will be largely bepefited by it, for it forms the connecting Boulevard with Douglas Park on the West Side and the South Park. When com- pleted, Chicago will bave a drive of af Call & Craft havo sold two houses on Calumet aveunue, west front, between Thirty-second and Thirty-third streeic, one to A. O.

The plans presented by the Park Commis- siovers were highly approved by sll who saw them. Western avenue will be treated very similar to Drexel Boulevard, with the sddition of one or two beautiful little lakes, the ground t be excavsted from which will be used in filling up the spaces which have been washed away by the large flow of water on each gide of the avenue. These little lakes will be a most 1mportant featurs in the beauty of the avenue. These improvements will bs sure to atiract population and business to a hitherto neglected but very valuable section of the city. e SATURDAY’S TRANSFERS. = — LOAN MARKET. A LIOHT BUSINESS DONE. The total figures of tho business done the past week are slightly in excess of thoee for the week preceding, but loan ageacies can get but litle credit, inasmuch as the greater portion represents trades in real estats. The number af instramenta (trust-deeds and mortgages) filed for recard July 23, 1875, was only seventeen, with » consideration of $3L,155, probably the amaliest list that bas appearsa on the Recorder's books since the grest fire.

Burton says in bis ** Anatomy of Melancholy,” ¢ How many deformed Princes, philosophers, and orators could I reckon up.” So nomerous, indeed, are the inatances whers genius has been allied to physical wealmess and malformation ; so much of the best work of the world has been wrought by toilers who have Jabored amid sick- nees, poverty, and sorrow, that one might al- most regard it as s rule that high intellectual gifts are balanced by~ privations of health, of comfort, of fortune, or of worldly hopes ; and coms to inquire habitually, on the performance of any great deed in the domain of thought, Of what deep and abiding pain is this the product, with what throes of bitter and long-borno sn- guish was it born ? The cxperiance of Pope comes first to mind in recalling the histories of eminent men who have struggled throngh life with the pangs, the mortifications, and the bereavements that bodily iufirmities entail. Pope inbérited from a sickly, deformod father, s puny, crooked frame, that while he lived was racked with pain and suffer- ing. He was an only child, the son of a trades- maa who had retired from business at an early age Fith a comrfortablo competency, and was *' 3 dwarfish, smiable, invalid boy, with a sweet, childish voice, and general indications of pre- cocity.” No more pathstic picture lingers in the memory than that of the misshapen little poet at DTwigkenham, writhing under the scornful mockery of Lady Mary Wortley Montague, who met his avowal of passionate admiration with heartloss gibes of dersion. 3 The vanity of Byron never ceased to fret over the malformation of one of his feet. **The em- bittering circumstonce of his life,” says Mooro, #which haunted bim like a curse, and, as ho ersuaded himself, connterbalanced all the lessings showored on him, was the trifling de- formity of his fool.” He once silenced the vain attempts at consolation offered by his frisnd Balcher, by saying, in mournful tones, ** Ab, my dear friend, 1f {ris (laying his hand on his fore- head) places me above the rest of mankind, thal (pointing to bis foot) places me far below them.” When a child, hiamother one dsy in a fit of pas- sion stigmatized him as a **lame brat,” and the *‘horror and humiliation” that overwhelmed him with the words he afterwards declared were nuutterable. Again, during boyhood, his sensi- tiveneas was cruelly wounded by hearing Mary Chaworth, the love of his youth, disdainfully re- mark to a female friend, Do you suppose I could love that lame bov?” Tho man never re- covered from these pitiless hurts received by the child. They induced a morbid aud Iasting mel- ancholy. Gibbon, the historian of “The Decline and Tall of the Roman Empire,” waa the only one of seven children that survived infancy. During his early vears he was feeble and eickly, and re- markable for the extraordinary size of his head, which amounted aimost to a deformity. In after years his small bones were weighed down with a load of flesh that they were inadequate to carry. Tor a period of thirty-two years prior to his death ho suffered from na enormous rupture and hydrocele. Nelson, the great naval hero of En- gland. was, as a child. dolicate and ailing; and, as aman, was small, frail, and attenuated in frame. These facts hint at the trials he must often have had in order to coerce his body to cl;r); out the resolves of his daring and heroic spirit. K'nmugk Walter Scott matured into a man of robust health aud nearty herculean strength, ho was & puny weakling in the beginning, and early afflicted with a lameness which continued through life, Akenside, the poet, and the son of a butcher, svas wounded in the foot, when an infant, by tho f2ll of one of his father’s cleavers, and rendered 1ame for life. The frail health of Loigh Hunt was the cause of constant solcituds during his infancy and childhood, and, while life lasted, crippled his enegics, and imposed upon him the torments of hypochondria, palpitations, dyspep- isis, and 2 long train of physical ills. ! Oue great bonofit,” he says, * rosulted to me from this suffering. It gave me an smount of reflection sach as, in all probability, I never should have had without it ; and if readers have deuived any good from the graver portion of my writings, [ attribute 1t to this experiencs of evil. Tt taught me patience; if taught me charity (howeyer imperfectly I may have exercised either) ; it taught me charity evon toward my- self; it tanght me the worth of little pleasures, as well s tho utility and dignity of great paina; iv tacght me that dvil itself contained good ; ey, it taugbt me to doubt whether any such thing as evil, considered in itself, existed ; whethor things altogether, as far as one planet knows them, could have been 80 good without it ; whether the desire,|nevertheless, which Na- ture has implanted in us for its destruction, be not the sigusal and the means to that end; and whetber 1is destzuction, tinally, will not prove its existence, 10 the meantime, to bave been nec- essary to the bliss that supersedes it.” All'know the sad stories of Coleridge and De Quincey, both of whom undermined their consti~ tutions and perverted their lives by the excess- ive use of opium. Yet sadder still is tho story of Hartley Coleridge, who inherited from his father brilhant bat disordered abulities, s craving for artificial stimulants, aod too little moral power 10 govern the tendencies that he knew full well must lead him to an inglorious and untimely end. Charles Lamb, the delightful eseayist, came of a family bearing the terrible taint of jusanity. He was a nervous, timid child, full of the whims and fears that beset an unhealthy intellect. At the age of 20 he was confined six weeks in an meane-asylom at Hoxton ; but, fortunately, though wayward at times, -lud glvgn‘ to ‘l’nn‘iu of excess, he did not sgain relapso into absolnte aberrati i Dr. John Kitto, the celebrated schol‘::l?ald ;fii commentator, was one day, when 12 years old, :.:3;;3 !w‘nea and mum{ for his father, who oor stone-mason. The boy ste, 11 a Iadder to the roof of a house, {vizhpmldm; slstes on his hesd, lost his balance, and fell to the pavement 35 feet below. He survived the fearfal accident, but was thenceforth totally i lindoess settled down upon Milton when h Was ooly 46, and uoder the shadow of this drulflg {ful calamity he produced Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, Samson Agonistes, and other of his x:g;lla;z :gorku :xl:‘ p:;;rv ‘:;d prose.

Tn consequence of a debauched life, Scarron, the French satirist, was geized with permanent aralysisof the lower limbs while he was yet under 0 yesrs of age. Ho was a withered and helpless cripple when he married tho beautiful Fraocoia d’Aubigne, who afterward became the mistress of Louis XIV., and took the pame of Madame Muntenon. Heine was struck with an incarable disease of the gpine in February. 1848, and for the remaining nine years of his life was for tho greater part 5:: the time bed-ridden. Ile en- dured the most acute pain, and almoss total loss of esesight, with extraordinary equanimuty, throwing off some of his most exquisite songza in the intervals between the spasms of anguish that convulsed bis frame. ) Cowper was from tbe first a delicate and ner- vous child, and, piaced at school at the age of 6, the wreiched circumstances that surrounded him confirmed his tendency to disease, and made him an icvalid for life. Ho was subject to spells of distressing despondency that occasionally de- veloped into delirinm. ‘The final years of his life were passed in utter dejection. Malebranche was deformed and sickly from his childhood. Mrs, Browning was for several years duning her maiden life confined, by illuess, to a darkened room, and after her marriage was compelled to reside in Italy on account of her delicate health. Herbert Spencer shattered his constitution by overwork several years ogo, and now i8 concluding his great system of philosophy in invalidiem and poverty. George Macdonald waa supposed to be dying of consumption when but Kttle over 20, and his wife married him ia the sorrowful fear of burying him within three months of their wedding-day. All his novels bave been dictated to an amanuenais sitting by the gick conch on which he lies at lesst half the day prostrato. Charles Darwin, the industrious and eminent nataralist, has very inferior health, and parsues his diligent, exacting investigations while suffering from debility that would discour- age ordinary men from activity. “Descartes, the French philosopher, snd How- ard, the English philanthropist, had naturally extremely delicata constitutions, which they were obliged constantly to fortify and favor. Pascal, the magnificent but irregular genius, early becamo an invaiid, snd was scarcoly ever after free from pain. ‘ He furnishod,” eays Algerin_ *The Genius of Solitude,” *‘ another examplification of the truth that great men, un- Jess biessed with heaith, aro more nubappy than others, because their transcendent powers are intringically less barmonized with their earthly conditions.” Before hs had reached the age of 81, Pascal bad suffered two attacks of paralysis in his limba, While thus weakenoed he was driv- ng across one of the bridges over the Seiue, the horses took fright, piunged aud leaped off, leav- ing the carriags poised on the edgo. Tho shock was 80 great that, during the eight years left of his life, Pascal was frequently troubled with the haliucination of an abysy yawning at bis side. Kepler, the aatronomer, wasa puny, ailing child, aud tbreugh lifg suffered from periodical attacks of fever aud other maladies. Among famous men who, in the dawn of life, had a bard struggle to maintsin existence, was Sir Isaac Newton, who could have been entirely hid under a quart cup when first born; Voltaire and Fon- tanelle, who were 50 feeble during infancy that their survival was scarcely for; Goethe, who says in his sutobiography, ** I came into the world as dead, and ouly after various efforts was Tenabled tosee the light”; d'Alembert, the distinguished mathematician, who, an illigiti- mate son, was exposed by his mother on the steps of tho Church of St. Jean-le-Rond, in Paris, until rescued 1nanearly dying condition by a pusing policeman ; Coarles Sumner, who weighad but three snd a half pounds at birth; and Washington Irving, who was extremely {feeble in infancy. —_— N The French Flood. Paris lotter: The disaster caused by the inun- dations are still the most important items in our daily budgeta of news, and there seemstobe a sort of fascination in these dreadful details. Let me give an example of them: A baby in a ‘wouden cradle was found floating down the Ga- roone, the little creature being fast asleep and perfectly dry. There was nothiog to indicate whenco 1i came, and if the parents have been drowned, a8 is supposed, the identity of this it~ tle waif may never be established. "At Toulouss & laboriog man, with his wife and bsby five months old, were upon the raof of their house waiting for belp, when a friend came floating down the current, and managed to climb up be- gido them. He was a good swimmer and thus kept himself above water. Butina short time the honse began to crumble, and suddeuly fell, throwing the party iuto the water. The work- man swam about for a moment in search of the rest, but could not find them in the dark, and came to the ad conclusion that they bad been crushed by the falling stones. Homannged to save himeelf, but believed the others lost. In the morning he met bis friend who told him that he had saved his baby, and had left it at the hospice_during the night. The wife was drowned. The poor man ran to the hospice to ask for his child. Immodiately on receiving the little creatures, somo fifty or sixty in number, they had been strpped of their wet olothes, and the clothing of olt had been eent to be washed and dried. No one thought of marking the clothing for the purposs of identification. The fathar found that all the babies of 5 months looked 80 nearly alike that hs could not pick out his own, and every day since he has spent hours in the hospice trying to find which of the children saved belongs to him. At one moment he believes that instinct has gnided him to the right baby; the next he picks out another, and then another, until bimself con- fused. A mother would 'doubtless recognize her baby by many marks familiar to her, but it is nog 80 easy for the father, who knows leas of his child's body than of the clothes it wears, Very many stories of tnis kind are told, and soms of them are very touching. Another Paris letter : 1. Venillot, of the Ul- tramontane organ, the Univers, thinks the inundations a judgment sent from God, and ‘mainly because the people do not pay their church tithes as they did during the last century. After & few more such afilictions, he declares the peo- ple will come to their stnses, and be only too Rlad to return to the dime. Nearly all the clerical orgaos look upon the inundations as the work of Providence, but they differ as to the particalar sins which made 8o great s punish- ment necessary. The Gazetle de Nimes says that *‘it is probable that the icundation of Toulouse is & terrible punishment sent from Heaven after the scaodalous affair of the statue of Germaine ; every one knows of the shame- ful conduct of the municipality of Touloure on that occasion. If the Counmli&d voted the sum demanded for the said purpose, Divine Providence would not have treated with snch severity the capital of Languedoc.” 1In all parts of the country similar journals attribute the dis- aster to some special sin, just as the Jesuits of Belgium attributed the burning of a college to the wrath of God because a youngster had im- piously taken a wafer from the holy communion and eaten it before broakfast. The Municipal Council did in fact refase to vote funds for the ereciion of s statue to Germaive Cousin, a shep- ‘herdess of Riberac, who had celestial visions like Marie Alacoquoy of the Sscre-Ceeur. Is it Dot singular that seemingly intélligent men should have 8o little respect for God 28_to paint him ‘with the worst of humaa pasgions ? ————— Kissing the Royal Babies’ Toes. 1o London, along time ago, Iused to know the nurse of the Queen's babies,—an excellent, ood person, clexn, and fat, and rosy, and loving. fl. might occur to the nninitiated that this person erhaps was & gentlewoman andthat the Queen’s bies had renl ladies aa nurses. Bat it was not #0. This royal nurse was as humble in station aa the good woman who was selected to care for the sacred welfare of the heir of Dombey. One day we congratulated her on the excellence of Der piace. **That it is, indeed, ma'am, s good place,” replied the woman, warmly; *too good for the likes ot me; and yet,” maid she, her motherly bosom swelling and warm tears gush- ing to ber honest eyss, **it Ras one great trial: Iam not hallowed to kiss the children.

The losn-market continues to exhibit the festures that have characterized its operations during the week, The applications for accommodations are not pressing, but are sufticlent in smount to give fair employment 10 the funds of the banks. Their surplus has been in- creased considerably by the payment of bills receiva~ ble falling due this month. Thers is no particnlar eagerness to put out this surplus on anything but the shortest paper, a8 the impression prevails widely that the loan-markot will be busier this fall than at any time in the laat two years. The deposita are increased by the margin business, The kind of paper offered the banks iy unchanged. Thers is some mercantile paper, the presence of which is due, in part, to the elowness of collections. These ars always dull, fnva- riably, at this time of year, when the farmers are har- vesting., There s & good deal of lumber paper being made, owlng to speculative operstions in lumber, ‘which s regarded cheaper than it will be. Manufac- turing paper is in light supply. Rates of discountat tho banks continue 8@10 per cent to reguiar customers. Thers are few good out- #ide borrowers, and tley find no dificulty in obtain- ing discounts 2 or 3 per cent less than the above rates, Onthe street, businessis dull, and the' supply of choice paper, which alone is marketable, scant, Rates are 6@18 per cent. New York exchange is selling at par. The supply is Iargely mcreased by the shipments of produce, but the demand i heavy, as most of the banks are adding to their balances at the East, ‘The movement of currency to the wheat districts continues moderate, The farmers are harvesting the new crop, and have not time to ship the Wheat on hand, The clearings Saturday were $4,064,563.14 ; for the week, §24,619,545.44, szainst $19,670,120.69 for the cor- responding week of last year, THE GLOBE INSURANCE COMPANTY. ‘The New York T'ribune of the 21at inst., in chroni- cling the withdrawal of the}Globe;Insarance Company from New York, reports that “the sggregate amount of actual svailable agsets of the Globe Insurance Com- pany on the 1st day of Jauuary last, according to the sworn statement made to the New York Insurance Department, was $659,C06.93, of which $76,256.37 waa in premiums in course of collection ; the reinsurance reserve was §248,007.55, snd the total liabilities, in- cluding eapital, amounted to $503,213.27. It would appear by this statement that the marine and inland business of the past year done in New York was very unsatisfactory, 3s the premium recelpts on this clasa of risks amounted to $6,191, and the lcsses for the same tims were $33,823.” A CONVERTIBLE CURRENCY. The New York Daily Butletin’s solution of the cur- rency question is to * maks our greenbacks as good as gold by making them convertible into gold, and retain- ing them in circulation 28 now, and maintaining the existing status of the National Banks, We have then a currency as good as goid for all the purposes for which currency is needed.” FOREIGN EXCHANGE.

L. 28 250 166,500 A Ransas correspondent of a prominent commission firm in this city writes as follows : The corn crop in Western Missouri and Kansas will be double that of any previons seasom, from the fact that neatly all the wheat fields have been planted in corn. Tho weather has been oll that could be desired, and two woeks more will put the carn out of reach of danger from drougnt, The leading producs markets wers again lower on Saturday, and active, but almost entirelyin specu- Iative way. The downward movement in prices con- tinued, though it was not o rapid or so extensive as on the previous day. This, too, in thoface of far- ther advices of strength in Enurope, both in bread- stuffa and provisions, The reason for the weakn: has been already given in this column: the specu- Iative furore rushed up prices little 00 fast, every- body anxious to take advantage of the obvious' riss on the other side of the Atintio. And this pecullarity of * the situation has been that the parties with Iittle money went in on the long side, 50 that the first decided turn downwards swept many of them off their feet, and they were obliged to sell in orderto avoid the necessity of posting margins, which still farther weakened the markets, The shipping movement was light on Satur- day, and Iako freights wers dull at Se for corn to Buf- :\a by eail. Tighwines were active and steady at 17, The demand for dry goods was confined to small ore ders for reassortment, and was chiefly centered in prints, bleached and colored cottons, and strictly sum- mer fabrics. In values Ao important changes were de- veloped, the general market malntaining a steady tona. Groceries were moving fairly at fally former prices, coffees, teas, sugars, sirups, and rios being firm. Canned goods contimue in sctive request on country sccount, and remain steady as previously quoted. The fish market waa without new features. For lake fish the ‘market has a8 hardening tendency, and mackerel also bids fair to go higher. A declinein cod i looked for. A fair amount of trading infforeign and damestic dried fruits was accomplished, st firmly maintatnad prices, No price changes were noted in the bagging, leather, coal, and wood marketa, The demand for butter con- tinues equal to the supply, and the market retains its firm tons, Cheese is quiet and easy. Jobbers of oils reported a quiet movement at the prices current the day before. The cattle trade was dull on Saturdsy, snd prices were weak and irregularly Jower. Closing quotationa were $2,50@6.75 for inferior to extra. Recsived, 800 head, and for the week 16,172 hesd. Hogs were active and firm during the forenoon, but closed dull and a shade lower. Saes wera at $7.00@8.00—principally at ST.0U@T.00. Received, 8,000, and for the week 63,682, Sheep were inactive and nominal at $3.00@4.75. No receipts. The wholesale lumber market was quist and firm. The offerings were small, and buyers were disposed to wait the arrival of the flest. The yard buainess was p to the aversge of former days of the week, and prices for most qualities wers adhered to. Irom and steel were in moderate demand and irregular, eepecially common iron, rates for which are liberally shaded for large lots or for cash. The wool market ‘was o little more active and steady, though the stock of some grades ia increasing. Broom corn was steady. Beeds remain quiet, almost the only inquiry being for timothy and clover, both of which are firm under limited offerings. The hay market was unchanged. The city is supplied principally by farmers in this vicinity, and hence thero 1s littla demand for pressed bay, apd that is confimed chiefiy to timothy, s shipping order for which s occasion- ally received. Green fruits wers plentifal and essicr, with few exceptions, Potatoes and other vegetables, excopting green corn and tomatoes, were very dull on the street, and lower, owing to the fact that the city trade is abundantly supplied by the local gardeners, Poultry was steady, and eggs dull and lower. PROVISIONS. HOG PRODUCTS—Were very frregular, Pork was active and again weak, meats quiet and easler, and lard quiet and sirong. The receipts of hogs wers Tather larger than usual on Saturday, but they wers quoted firm, and the European markets were also firm on product ; but the market took its tone largely from breadstuffs, buyers holding off, except whero it was really necessary to take hold. Very little was done, except in covering shorts. Mess PoRk—TWas active and variable, declining 65¢ per brl from the latest price of Tuesday, but .closed only 40c lower. The uncertainty of the marketmay bo judged from the fact that It dropped 60c without a single sale, and at one time recovered the break with only two or three intermediate transactions, Seller September opened at §20.95, sold at $21.00, went down 10 $20.40, back to $21,00, declined to $20.55, sdvanced 10/$20,90, and closed at $20,65, Seller August, or ronnd lots of cash, closed at $20.

Thers was & moderate inquiry, but Little offered, moat of the lard on sale being limited at $14.00 for September, which figure buyers were scarcely to pay, Liverpool was quoted firm at the advance of Tuesdsy, though New York was easier in sympathy with Chii- cago. Thbe stendinees in Enropa brought out a better demand at the decline of the previous day, and made helders less anxious to sell. The stocks of lard are -reported light all over the conntry, and wany dealers professed their inability o sea any valid reason for the Tecent weakness beyond the fact of an ovarstrain, Bales were reported of 1,000 tcs seller August at $13.55 @13.60, and 1,250 tca seller Soptember at $13.60@13.80, Total, 2,250, ‘The market close] frm at §13.60 cash or seller Angust ; $13.60 seller September; and nominal- 1y at $12.25@12,50 seller the yeur, Mxars—Were quiot snd a shade easier, two or thres lots being freely offered at former quotations.
