Money Matters Leads Boston Market News Aug 10
The Boston Bank Statement shows a reserve shortfall of over $600,000 with banks firm on 4 percent papers and call loans near 2 to 4 percent. New York funds trade at a small premium. stocks rise–then falter–as Lackawanna and Missouri Pacific drag late, while coal shares weaken. Market tone remains quiet but steady across bonds, currencies, and agricultural futures with widespread activity in rail and industrials.

Grain Market Reports Dull Start Then Slump in Chicago
A late Chicago report says grain trading opened weak with wheat down from Friday and selling pressure rising as the day progressed despite light offerings. Visible wheat supplies are seen shrinking by 500000 to 1000000 bushels while corn remains the weakest commodity amid ample farmer selling. Provisions hold due to supportive orders, and traders expect government crop estimates to heavily influence prices.

An anecdote from Mare Island mocks Republican labor, while Winthrop praises Cleveland and Randall. A note on unpaid government funds ends with a Grand Army post dispute over Mosby and Bayard.
