REvrEw OF THE MARKErs.-Tbe week ending
the first commercial month of the year has ex-
hibited considerable variation. In the general
trade Of the city there has been slight improve.
ment. Currency has continued abundant and
easilv accessible TO first class borrowers. Gold
and Exchange have been dealt ia to moderate
extent, but at rapidly declining figures. Cotton
has been In active request at daily advancing
figures. Sugar, Moasses and Tobacco have been
quiet but steady. Breadstuffs and Provisions
have been in fair request. But the exceedingly
heavy receipts of ali classes, and the accumula-
ton of supplies, especially of Flour, have caused
q heavy decline in sill articles comprised under
those headings. In Grain however, prices have
regsiped most of what they previously lost.

ample. and the New York and Liverpool adyices
have generally been in favor OF holders.

has been more active than any previous
day this season. Offerings were ample.
and the demand throughout was quite
active and genersl-divided among buyers
for the Northern and Eastern and Liverpool and

rather weak, owing to the unfavorable tenor OF
the advices from abroad, but before the close OF
business extreme outside rates were realized. The
supply now on hand is fully ample to justify even
larger operations, but great quantity now oner'
ing is said 10 be water pressed. and this appre'
henson causes buyers to be rather shy IN thelr
purchases. Total operations embrace 1900 bales,
and we now quote the market steady a. 2lc. fol
