REVIEW OF THE MARKETs.-Trade generally, du-
ring the week just closing, has undergone steady
IMPROVEMENT The money market has become
easier. Operations in cotton have daily exhibited
an Improvement at advancing prices. Tobacco,
Sugar and Molssses have been quiet but steady
and firm. In Western Produce the market opened
with exceedingly heavy recepts-some 10000
bbls. of Flour beng received from Saturday night
to Monday morning-and all classes Of grain in
nearly the same proportion. This, without any
Improvement In the demand, OF course greatly un-
settled prices, and the market, early in the week,
declined. As the week advanced, however, ex-
porteTs, especially of -four, came forward more
freely, and the demand being more active and
general, prices accordingly became firmer. Pro-
visions have been dull and to great extent neg.
lscted throughout but prices have remained
steady. ..I...r.. ..t. -.r .It .

from Liverpool and New York, buyers, on account

have found it difficult to obtain lists suitable for
their orders Receipts, although larger than last
week, have been barely sufficient to meet the In
creased demand, and during the past TWO OF tnsee
