REVIEW OF THE MARkErs.-The general trade
of the city curing the past three days disclosed
but little alteration as compared with the move-
ment at the close Of our last weekly review. Op,
eratons in Cotton have been far, ana the demand
was general at steadily advancing prices sugar
and Moasses have been quite active, and, owing to
increased receipts prices have slightly receoeo;
Tobacco remains quiet and steady. Flour conunueo
dull at further decline in prices. Corn, at
though scarce, has shown but little activity even
at lower rates. Oats have remained steady.
Bran and Hay have shown slight advance. Pro-
visions have been dull, and owing to heavy re-
ceipts of the old packing, with anticipated re-
ceipts Of the new, prices have daily deciineo.
Money continued abundant. Foreign Exchange
has been dealt in to moderate extent with bat
little alteration in rates. and Domestic has re-
NAMED steady throughout. The weather mas
been cool and clear, but to-day 1t indicates
speedy change.

DO time heavy or excessive, while rates OF Goid
and Exchange exhibited unusual uniformity, ana

of Q decidedly spirited character. full under
