Of the business public OF this entire region

Among the changes for the new year w q
notice that Mr.. p. Semonin, Wholesale

just finished by A. Refs, on First street,
just below Sycamore. 1t is one of the
largest business houses in the city, and will

George s. Sonntag d Co.'s new house. on

mirably adapted to the business. They
will move into 1T in few days, and win
then be better prepared than ever to attend
to their large trade.
Business for the past week has been fairly
active, with satisfactory business in all
departments. There has been a great
many buyers in from the cotton-growing
region of North Alabama and Mississippi.
and Tennessee, with cotton for sale, which
has been disposed of at prices satisfactory
to them, for cash, to our dealers; thereby
enabling them to buy and principally pay
for their entire purchases which included
merchandise of every variety, provisions
and produce. .,sa ,ar
We are glad to note a disp Jsition on the
part Of some of our more enserprising mer-
chants to create a market for cotton in this
city, whereby we will be enabled to draw
to us in greater degree the Tennessee
River Trade. Wesare advised of the pur-
chase yesterday, by Mackey, Nesbit
& Co., Of ,seyenty-five bales OF cot
ton, part of recent receipts by the
Phantom, at &c., mixed grades. Con-
sidering the quality, it was very liberal
price. This lot was shipped out with in
structions to go forward to Cincinnati, but
w
Cincinnati quotations, and hence the
sale here.
In our rounds yesterday we found our
merchants in much better spirits than we
anticipated, in view of the general dull
ness pervading other cities, the downward
tendency of prices, and the fear which has
taken possession of many business men of |
the certainty of near financial panic.
verywell all Fall and thus far into the
Winter, and they will be able this week to
close up their books and snug up accounts, |
with very satisfactory showings for the
year. We hope to be able next week, or at
furtherest the week following, to give |
general summary of the trade OF the city |
for the year 1866. taT H
Not much is anticipated in the way of
trade the current week, as few country
dealers will be in the city, and our mer- !
chants will be busy in taking account of
stock, closing up the books, and summing !
up the results ofthe years operations.

week, and the spirit of the market for |

GROCERY MARKET. stcE
Considering the declining tendency of !
all staples and the consequent usual ten

satisfactory to our grocers. Il. a,
