ment and uncertainty. Thespeculatiye
feeling, which had begun 70 die out, has
been Eshsyed with aordi9ary5y yigor,
feeding upon what has In a great meas
ure produced it-the advance in the
premium on gold.
The revival of speculation has been
strongly felt in cotton, lbased on the
favorable foreign aivices; and in flour
and wheat; based on small stocks and
inadequnte deliveries at this mnrSefs
But 1t has taken hold Of pork, and Is
felt in sugar and other Rrocerits while
n large movement in sperm on rs by no
means an Insignificant feature of the
week. z1iHhSBJ
The large advance that has been es-
tablished In cotton, and the principal
articles of bre1dstuffs, Is fully mann
tained Mt the close.
In provisions, we find thatipoE has
been carried up. two dollars, but a por-
ton OF the advance was lost at the
close. The basis of tl1isN advauce Is the'l

lS94al0c. per n. has been bid for short

ed; prices which at least Justify the
present price OF pork. We learn that
limited business only, the coming sea-
son, and show little disposition to ac-
cept the bids for future delivery, which |
are mnde in behalf of exporters. THE
stock of beef Is moving on rapidly, and

of lard, cheese, and butter have celsed |

Sugars have advanced niiiaVefnge oil

Molnsses has also advanced. Coffee,
Tens, Spices and Rice, are firmer. hut
with no material advance to quote.
