GENERAL MARKETS.

NASHVILLE, August Zls
We have to note some increase of ac-
tivity in our market during the past week.
The meeting of the stockholders of the
Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad
Company brought large number of the
people from the country, which gave quite
an impetus to trade in all its departments
Merchants from the interior towns and viii
lagos are beginning to lay in their fail and
winter stocks, and We may now reasonably
hope for a better trade
CoTTON.-Quiet a heavy business has
been done by our brokers and factors du-
ring the past week, considering the very
limited amount on hand. The advices
from Liverpool and New York have indi-
Gated firmness in those markets, but very
little advance in the price.
The gold market hasgradually risen day
by day, and our market has been in perfect
sympathy with it.
The following have been the actual
transactions for the day: SO bales at 25c;
so at 24c; l at 22c; at zoe; 16 at 200
