MARKETS ARE ACTIVE.

The Crop Reports Stimulate Business Throughout the Country. R. G. Dun & Co. ’s weekly review of trade says that crop reports promise results not equal to last year’s, which would be disastrous, but beyond expectations. With the decrease of only 6 per cent, the wheat yield would be far beyond the quantity consumed and exported in any year except the last, and nearly equal to last year’s consumption and exports. The pride dropped below 84 cents, but has since been stronger. Western receipts are large, 1,80b,000 bushels In three, days, and exports 771,000 bushels in the same time. Com acreage shows a decrease of 4.4-per cent., and the price has dropped 3$ cents during the week. Oats have also declined two cents, while hog products are stronger, pork 25 cents per barrel, and ooffee and oil unchanged. The cotton reports show condition only 2 per cent, below last year, and on any estimate of acreage the yield, with the surplus still in sight, will more than meet all demand for the year.
