ton. The dry goods market has been
steady since our last, with, perhaps, q
tendency upwards on a few LEADING
styles Of prints. The bulk OF the fall
trade is not looked for until cotton comes
IN tolerably freely, or, say, for another
month. Stocks are large and admirably
selected, and prompt buyers can make
their own terms.
The Boot and Shoe market, like All
others, has been moderately active since
our last, and prices are well malntsipej
Ia all kinds OF ladies' and gents wear.
All our shoe houses are now filed from
cellar to roof with new goods, and are
prepared TO vie with any market this
side OF Boston or New York in range OF
styles or prices. OF the New York mar

picked apples, free of bruises, are still in
demand for shipment, but our dealers
mostly prefer the dried fruit at this sea-
son. We Of the South are Iaboring I'M
der many disadvantages which it is
hoped time viii remedy. Over all sec
tons of the North the Express Compa-
Dies, for instance, carry fruit at very
low rates, and show their anxiety ~

any part Of Illinois peaches are taken 10
st. Louis or Chicago at 20c per box.
Here We learn that the Southern Ex-
press Company requires all shipments of
fruit to be paid IN advance at rates rang
ing from 200 TO $50 per cent higher than
those mentioned above. Arrangements
have been made, however, by which the
Great Western Dispatch will forward
