WEEKLY REVIEW OF THE MARKET
TRUE WIG OFFICE,


The weather since our last review, has been, for
the most part intensely hot unseasonably for the
season of the year, with, however, reasonable
relief in the way of rain.
The fall crops are maturing finely, and we hear
no complaint in this region Of cotton or tobacco,
which is certainly very remarkable circumstance
The river continues to keep in good boating con-
ally sufficient rise to allow boats to go up stream.
Freights, however, continue scarce, and steamboat
ing is consequently quite dull.
Trade maintains its former activity in the Grocery
and Produce Departments. Wheat continues to
come in freely, mostly to FIJI contracts
DRY GOODS, &c.-0ur wholesale Dry Goods,
Boot and Shoe, Hat and Clothing Merchants, are
doing unusually active trade. Merchants are
visiting the city who have heretofore been in the
habit Of going East, and are invariably agreeably
surprised to find the stocks much better and more
comprehensive than they anticipated, and prices
also cheaper.
C0TTON-There have been, as yet no receipts
of the.new crop. The prospects of better harvest
than was anticipated several weeks since, has ope.
rated TO depreciate prices elsewhere, and we are
advised to cut our quotations down fraction, tho
they are, to a great extent, nominal, and we must
await actual transactions to determine exactly where
the market will open.
TOBACC0--We hear of no transactions in Leaf.
The stock of manufactured is ample, and is daily
receiving achievements from the entcrprising es
adjustment of W. Meredith, who is determined to
place his brands among the No. rs in the market
Our Tobacco growers viii find no difficulty in get
ting amply paid this season for any extra labor in
curing their leaf SO as to make it more acceptable
to manufacturers and our market will offer the
best inducements to fine tobacco growers to send
their crops here. ....
C0FFEE-This article continues firm, and we
advance a fraction upon our quotations for Rio.
The stock is limited.
SUGAR continues firm with, if anything, an up
ward tendency, though we see nothing to justify
change in our quotations.
In other articles of groceries we hear Of nothing
to justify remarks.
.--WHEAT-The?e is considerable coupe-
tition among buyers, which fact, more than anything
else has had the effect to advance figures slightly,
and we now quote it at 9Oa95 for good article.
RYE is stiff, and as high as 60 cents offered
yesterday, though 55 has been the ruling figure.
CoRN.-We hear of no transactions in Corn, and
retain our quotations OF last week, though we are
inclined to believe that the trade viii open at lower
figures.
PR0VISI0NS--BAcoNh has taken another spas
modic advance during the week. and we now quote
hams at l2ialS; shoulders lOall sides IL. Hog
round is not offering, though we presume it would
command ll4al2. BUTTER is bringing Halls at
the Provision stores; and 20a25 in market for
good article Of table butter, with demand more
than equal to the supply. LARD has declined to
l0a1l at wholesale, and l2t at retail MEAL is SELL
ing at 30 cents for new at wholesale, and Soc at
retail. Supply good EGGS contine at Sc. at
wholesale and 10 at retail.
