American Tobacco (Kentucky leaf was in rather
better demand at advancing rates.
AMERICAN DRY GOODS.-The market still
remains inactive but not unusually for the
Some little business has been done with commission
houses in the way of selling for expectation
EESWAX.-The sales have amounted to 40O0a
5000 lbs, mostly at % cts per lb., cash. Some
holders refuse to sell under 26d27
CANDLES-Rcmain steady at quotations, and
there is fair moderate demand Tor CITY Mould TAI

COALIDcacrs of Anthracite have advanced
their rates 55a per ton, for broken and screen
COFFEE-Thc market remains much as last re-
ported the article in moderate demand, aud prices

lots at 7a7 cts. for the larger portion, including
-Iz.-l n,Is .t 7l.7H. lnt,,
Laguayra at y cts per lb., all mos.
COTTON.-The receipts at all Southern points,
from LIST Sept. 1916 and 1915, to latest dates were,
and have been, as follow:
OF the crop Of ..1S46-lS45:
Gulf and Texas 1859, 5S71 1893 705 less, 1874 lis
Upland, incu.S.I l,79l 4l4, 323 more, 146 sos
Total decrease ................J bales, 1SS, $50
The market is without animation, spinners buying
only as urged forward by immediate crcumsta nccs,
anticipating decline in prices by the coming in of
the new crop. We have to note sales of only l05
bales Upland at l2al3! cts, and 60 do Louisiana
at 49, cts. per h., mos.-tota l65 bales
DRUGS AND DYES.-Therc has been small
parcel of Ginseng sold al So cts. per lb cash. We
note the sale OF III casks Dutch Maddcr at lOidlUz
cts. per h., mos.
FEATHERS.-T market remains much as for
some considerable time past, quite inactive. The
only transactions are in small way, at prices which
have no bearing upon the general market.
FISH.-Dry Goldfish remain steady in price with
a moderate supply, but equal to the demand. There
is only limited demand, either, for Shad at quota
tons. New Mackcrcl have been selling more free
w. but tran actons mostly confined TO No. B. of
which so brls. were taken at S5.l22; but they are
generally held at 1925.
FLOUR AND MEAL.-A considerable portion
of the available Flour which has recently been in
market or that which entered into transactions was
of Western manufacture, part OF 1t arriving via the
canals from Pittsburgh and part via New Orleans;
but after being subjected to the inspectors eXamina
ton the better qualities found equal to the
pernc standard and some were extra quality but all
came under the denomination of Howard street Flour,
and were so passed The receipts OF fresh ground
Howard street and City Mills are very light at pre-
sent insomuch that there is very little on sae that
which comes to hand having been previously con
tractcd for, required to supply the demand for
home neighboring consumption, hence the late adj
vices by the two from England at first put
ting up and putting down prices, had very little
influence in this market. The last sales of Western,
early in the week. IN lots OF loo 10 4oo Drs; were
made at SIS, 5.l2sa$525 for common, and 5.50a
1851 for extra brands; subsequently, the supply
being more limited the transactions were nconsdcr-
able; but fresh ground Howard street, from old and
new wheat, has been selling as above noted at 5.62
aS575 including City Mills at the latter; and both
descriptions from new wheat at $5.S75 per brl.
The market continues even at close extremely I'M
settled, and we find much difficulty in presenting
a correct feature of it. The supply of fresh ground
is light, and some holders of Howard street are
under instructions from owners to hold for SO,
while some others disposed TO sell at 1910
and 500 brls. of this description were sold on
Thursday, in two lots, at $3.50 per brl. There
were sales also the same day OF between 2Jo0 and
5000 brs City Mills. part in store and the residue to
be delivered in few days, at 1918. AT this latter
price, however, those who purchase do so from ne
cessty and those who sell at $3.50, (and there has
been a sale of 3O0a400 brls at that pricc,) are
prompted by the same cause. Rye Flour, to lin
tied extent has sold at S4.25 per BRIL- and 800 brls
Penna. Corn Meal at S2.75. Inspected this week:
Corn Meal, 374 brs.-
Rye Flour, % brls.-
