Review Of the Marker
: I0R TEE WEEK ENDING July 2, 1867.

The market has been very inactive during the
past week for all kinds of merchandise, and bust
transactions have been quite limited. There is
not much prospect of activity until the fall season
approaches. There ID no disposition at present to
indulge in any operations, and inactivity will, un-
dsubtedly, rule until the business season opens.
The expectations fer the fall trade are hopeful and
large business Is anticipated Traders generally,
In this State, have not overstocked their shops with
merchandise, but have, very wisely, purchased ac-
cording to tho demand for home consumption Their
stocks In the fall will be next to nothing and they
will largely replenish. ~ q XIV
