Wheat in Liverpool, IhfcifclftlOd;
lub. 12 6rt13s a decline.
The stringency in the money market
Dtp abated somewhat since t he first of
the moiitb, and collections are some
what easier, but still money i not to
!e ao readily obtained as could be
wished. Money nutters are reported
much more stringent in the Kast, and
more serious complaint is made there
than here. Europe is also feeling the
depression of tight finances. Com
mercial circles in Liverpool are ex
tremely uneasy, fearing a money crisis.
There are several uuues which have
operated to cause the present depres
sion in money : the many disastrous
onflngriitions of tlie past few months,
numerous shipwrecks, etc., which have
told so fearfully on the fortunes of in
surance companies, are among the
most prominent. Another serious
drawback has been the numerous iron
and coal strikes, proving so detrimen
tal to the manufacturing interests of
the country. All of these causes, to
gether with unlooked for heavy rains
in portions of the country, making it
almost certain that the next crop will
prove largely deficient, have created a
general depression in monetary circles,
restricting trade operations to the nar
rowest Unfits so that all may be pre
pared for the worst.
Our business men seem to look con
fidently forward to a fair Spring trade,
altiiough not anticipating the buoyancy
tliat has marked the same eriod for
several years past. Our merchants
will lay in their usual supplies for tlie
Spring and Summer trade.
Freights are quoted as advanced at
San traucisco. masters holding for
4 10si 15s f. ton for wheat to the
United Kingdom.
On Wednesday the Germini and
I'enang were idle, awaiting charter at
Portland. Tlie Ilione and Sarah Scott

at $2 Nfef2 20.
Portland buyers offer but $1 55 f
100 for small lots of wheat, with slight
advance to be obtained for large lots.
