The week Just ended has sustained its busy
beginning throughout, large amount Of gram

ers, and from the usual tone Of Eastern dispatch.
IS we think to the loss Of the buyer. The direct
4 reason for continued decline may be given IN
the near approach and prospect OF an abundant
harvest. The long continued draught will in
jurc the spring crops in this part of the country.
Unless We have rain soon the corn crop will be
small-the same may be suid Of oats Spring
wheat will not injure to the extent of other
crops.
The Wool Market has not been very active as
but little has arrived. Yet buyers are Offering
large prices We believe now is the time to sell
a. prospects favor decline.
Our merchants continue to do large trade,
their weekly sales compared with corresponding
weeks Of last season show an increase in proper
ton to the extra exertion they have put forth
to obtain the trade of the interior.
Dealers in iull supply in all branches OF trade,
they have anticipated good summer trade and
prepared themselves by adding to their spring
purchases large stocks for accommodation OF
country merchants, and we are glad to see their
efforts in this particular meet with the return it
deserves.
Merchants that have been heretofore ordering
largely from Eastern markets to fill up broken
assortnents are now purchasing from our job
bers.
Prices have remained stationary except in
light summer fabrics for ladies wear and straw
goods. The season being somewhat advanced
dealers anxious to realize, and prefer to sell
at reduced prices than carry over to another
season. In the Eastern markets considerable
interest is now evnced with regard to the extent
of the fall importations. We have no reason to
think they will be excessive. That they will be
large it is certain, from the eyerincreasing num-
Der ofconsumers. Leading houses have restric-
ted their orders from abroad within unquestion-
ably safe limits; but others, we learn, have Civ
en- extended credits to their gents abroad; which
may or may not be used as the state OF the for
eign markets shall prove either rising or fall
ing one. From many sources, we are informed
that prices of goods abroad are on the advance,
and that materially. The return Of peace IN
Europe has added much to the activity of trade
and commerce. The wants of Russia alone,
which country has been out of the French mar
ket for some time, and in which she is usually
large customer, will tend to raise the price Of all
French fabrics. Cervainly lower prices of for
eign goods are not anticipated generally.
The Provision market has been dull. The
amount of Bulk and Smoked Meats and Pork
that has changed hands since our last has been
small We notice large amounts have been
shipped to Southern markets The low price of
freights during the season has injured large
shipments of grain and provisions via Of the
river. The amount Of business on the river for
the season thus far has exceeded any previous
year fourshing trade has been carried on
with Nebraska and Kansas, via the Missouri
river, and also northern Iowa and St. Paul.
This kind of business must continue to increase.

The news per the Ericsson seems to have made
but little impression upon the market this morn
ing. By her advices we learn that trade was
tolerably quiet; there was decline OF la3d IN
Wheat, and Is on Flour. Corn maintained
its prices tolerably well. BY news per telegraph
there is a small decline on Wheat in the New
York market; it had no effect here this morning
however, prices holding same as yesterday For
choice spring 9Oc is asked, and 900 bushels in
store old at this figure.
No noticeable change in Corn, and sales brisk:
large enquiry at low rates is the principal
feature of the morning, and we notice the fol-
lowing transactions:-lO 600 bush free on board
the last ten days of July at SAC, $500 blu aaoat
at 2ec, 5000 bu unsound afloat at csc, 1000 bu
in store at &c.
Provisions in good demand. An outside sale
of 800 bbls Mess Pork at Sl6,75. Lard has an
upward tendency, and we quote sale at lo3c
Butter frmer at 12tal3c, with sales of so kegs
at l24, and 50 very choice Roll at l3c. Pota-
toes range from 50a60c, according to quality.
