satisfactory as in any other Western city.
Prices East, owing to the light stocks and
labor strikes, keep high, and the market is
firm; but this market maintains the old
quotations unchanged.
BooTs AND SHoEs.-Our city merchants
have had large receipts of goods from the
manufacturers, and are now in the midst
of the FAN trade. Their houses
are well filled, and the Evans
vile market, SO justly celebrated for its
enterprise in this department, was never
better prepared to supply the demand for
boots and shoes, and at rates which will
compete successfully with Cincinnati or
Louisville. The business of the week has
peen good, with fine promise for the re-
mair2er of the season. Prices are IN
changed.
QUEENswARE-The Fall business opens
up very well, and our extensive establish
ments, confident of a heavy trade, are
supplying themselves with large stocks.
No changes in quotations have occurred
worthy of note, but prices are firmer un-
der the reported advance in the East and
the rate of gold. Competition in this de-
partment has brought prices in this city
down to a very low margin of profits, and
in no neighboring city can the purchaser
be better suited.
IRON AND HARDwARE.-The trade in iron
is moderately brisk. Our quotations are
unchanged. Tin PEGte, SIS so, and firm, with
gold; Bar Iron, &C.; Sheet Iron, boiled, 20
&c.; Charcoal, 10 q lie; NaiLs, So 90; ACES,
Mann's, Sl5 90; LippincOtt's, 81 90;
simmons. S7 co. The large amount
of Improvement going on in this city
and the towns and country adjacent,
continues to have its effect upon the Hard
ware trade in the line of building mater
iaIs. In 9ne supply market, stocks are
light and market firm. There is no pros
pect of lower prices in most articles in this
line during the season.
DRUGs.-Business is reported very good,
and expectations more than realized.
Only few changes have occurred the
past week in prices. White Lead SO 0O9
ID 90 per 100 u; Lard OIL, No. 1 Winter
strained 81 20; No. 2 81 10; Lirseed OIL 81 10
al 20; Coal OIL soc and very firm

American; Qltiri,9e 81 25@2 80 per o.; In
dtgO, Madras, 81 30 to 81 so.
PROVISIONS AND PRODUCE.
HOGs-OWing to the mild weather of the
past week nothing has yet been done in
Strengthening; but with the present pros
pect of a colder temperature we may ex-
pect the season to open this week, as con-
siderable stock has accumulated. Packers
are offering SIZE. gross or &c net, while
drovers and farmers are holding out for &C.;
but sales could readily be effected at SIC.
There is apparent a greater disposition to
sell early in.the season than last Fail. Hogs
in the country appear plenty, and there
will doubtless be a considerably larger
amount packed here this season than last.
