noticeable improvement In the market for either
of these articles today. There is considerable
business doing in q small way, but sales are mostly
confined to retail lots for city trade. The pros

resumption of something like the business prose-

Molssses. Crops Of all kinds are in very for
ward state throughout the country. Planters and
agriculturists look to growing crops Tor future
supplies outside Of their own productions. Their
wants are increasing daily, and with the interior
almost exhausted of Sug ar and holasses, their
wants will soon seek market at this point, and
we may look forward TO witness at very early
