TRADE
Business for the past week, in our gen.
srRl markets, has been rather quiet, a.
though some branches OF trade continue
to be Setivs, or rather, have fallen OF
less than others. All the packet lines
running to our city appear to 30 . paying |

ting about all the freights they can con-
veniently handle. Country dealers are
continually renewing or filing up their
stocks, and the demand ia this way,
though seemingly small, aggregate very
handsomely. Among the noticeable
features Of the wees, We must mention
the light demand for meats. The stock
OF hand is very light even for this early
psgt Of the season, but it is mora than
smple to supply the demand. 1t is not
ct all probable that prices will be lower
for some weeks TO come, as In eli the
packing marts they are now in the very
flood tide of operations, and the cOmpe-
titiOn among packers is causing Rn up
ward tendency in hogs, instead Of a de-
cline, as was anticipated when the sea-
son opened. The present prices CT cured
meats will cause 8 greater consumption
Of fresh meat throughout the interior,
beef and hogs are much more
sbuEdant than last yesT, and the antici-
psted demand for the former may not be
as great throughout the South at any
time this season As packers expect. In
for instance, not less than forty
beef packing establishments are now ia
active operation, and in vsgi0us sections
learn that planters will put up all the
meat they need for the present season.
Dressed hogs, weighing fpom 200 to 800
are common in this market.
Many Of these come from points south Of
his, and there is no reason Why they
,snnot be cured as well upon the plsnts-
ion IS st any larger establishment We
sre now raising cur own corn, and in
sections sufficient wheat has been
to supply the requirements OF cur
then why not become inGepan-
lent in the way of meats.
The flour market is very dull, and
are tending lower. The lmmease
wheat crop OF the Nortu has barely COM
neBced to move, and the stocks OF 4 ,u-
IL over tie country are growing 6sily
Prices must again give way, and
hat at no very distant period, though at (
resent holders are firm in consequence
f an advance reported a. ST. Louis. {
The dry goods trade for the week has
cen active, especially in the way OF
goods. Very few country mer-
hsnts laid in enough 70 supply their G
7snts, and the late cold weather has
8 demand for linseys, fannels, /
and other s~essOnable goods. q,
are steady, with no immediate !
hange looked for until after the hOli- a
ays. Fancy articles for Christmas sTe {
cling displayed in profusion, and some
I cur show windows look gorgeous in 3
heir array OF costly fabrics. The New q
'Ork market is very dull, and prices Of :
roWn snd bleaChEd cottOus are weaker. :
ONE j0bbers are anxious to reduce .
leir stocks before mskiDg their annual /,
lvsntory, while others are holding over,
J indications are not favorable for any /
lrther reduction. Cotton goods cannot .
: made at present prices and pay s. y
roft to the manufacturer. h
In the boot and shos market we have a
IS activity to report, with stocks large.
ONE Of our dealers, owing to the I'D. J
anced stage Of the season, are Masking z
light reduction on heavy styles, but all =
.ht fancy work Is still firm. ;
