GENERAL REMARKS.-Weh have the highest sa-
tsaeon in saying, that durngthe past week all branch
es OF trade have improved and that we look forward to
heavy and remunerative Fall business.
The cholera having disappeared from the city, its streets
ana places OF business again bustng and lively
pearance. The Dock at present contains unusual
number OF vessels, and Cary and Main streets afford ample
evidence ofncreased activity in trade Country merchants
are arriving in the city, and we have no doubt they will
pretty generally purchase their supplies in market The
cholera still prevailing in Philadelphia New York and Bos-
ton, renders mprudent for them to visit those cities.
Moreover, our merchants and will offer inducements
purchasers which should preclude the necessity OF vis
ting the Northern cities.

mand at fair prices Considerable animation is percepti
bic in Tobacco at quotations The supply of Flour
