been neavy, and sales show slight augmentation
az about previous figures. Operations in Sugar,
Molasses and Tobacco continue on limited scale

easily obtained by first class borrowers through
out. Gold has materially declined. Foreign Ex-
change has been dealt in to fair extent. though
generally at declining rates, and Domestic Ex-
change has disclosed but little alteration at any
time during the past week.
CosTos-The movement in the leading staple
since the close of our last weekly review has
been uniformly In favor Of buyers. During the
first two days of the present week the market ex-
hibited no marked alteration; but since then the
Liverpool and New York markets have been in
vafiably represented in the daily kilograms az
easier and declining. Receipts have been steadily
increasing, and, while orders for foreign markets
a.seiese NO friiins on, they have soncrzny been
at lower figures from day to day. Our market
has consequently been quite unsettled and prices
have gradually declined till the net reduction for
the week reached ll@l3c. d 10. Foreign ex-

market. The following synopsis of daily transac-
tons conveys fair idea Of the general move
ment, viz:
Saturday, Sept. l9.-Thereis but little yariatio,
in the movement of the leading staple to-day.
Offerings have been fair throughout and the de-
mand was quite active and general. Holders at first
were very firm in their views, and many refused
the oilers made by purchasers but, before the
close OF business, sellers manifested more dispos-
ton to realize at the figures they declined early in
the day. Sales have been confined TO I726 bales.
and we still quote the market at 222G23lc. for

Monday, Sept. 21.-The movement in the lead
ing staple to day has been barely moderate. Offer
lDgs throughout have been ample, but buyers az no
time manifested any great desire TO operate to any
extent. Holders, early in the day, were very
hrm in their views but before the close of business
decided weakness was noticeable in prices, and
Gales were made at decline Of l@Ac. ~ b.
Total operations embrace s55 bales, the market
closing unsteady. ...-
Tuesday Sept. 22.-Today the inquiry has
been moderate, and factors early in the day
were mot dispossd to operate exoePt ct full dgures
paid yesterday. Towards the close Of business,
however, the New York and Liverpool advces
being adverse to holders they manifested q
greater disposition TO reahze-even to accept
lower rates. Purchasers then came forward more
freely and sales were made of 1850 bales, at
prices showing decline at the close of business
Wednesday. Sept. 23.-Ths active demand
noticed in our issue of yesterday has con-
tnued throughout to-day. Offerings of all
We might say in excess, holders views being
greatly Influenced by Liverpool and New
York advices, which are still I'M favor Of
buyers. The inquiry has been general, and de-
vided. among buyers for the northern, eastern
and foreign markets, but as more orders were
under limits sellers were again compelled to give
way in their rates. Operations footed up 1000
bales, prices closing at decline Of fully 20. u 10.
Thursday, Sept. A.-More ample offerings, to-
gether with continued depressing advices from
abroad, have caused further decline in our mar
ket. The demand throughout has been fair and gen.
eral, but the decline reported In the Liverpool and
tious in their purchases Sales were made, however
OF 100 bales. Figures paid early in the day
showed but little variation from those OF yester-
day, while at the close decline of fully 3c. per
ID was established.
Friday, Sept 25.-To-day the sales reached
3lO0 bales, at a still further average decline Of
&c. ~ ID. The market was amply supplied through

very little Improvement in this market, which,
from the opening to the close, has continued dull
with q very moderate inquiry for small lots and no
transactions whatever In q round way. The con-
tinued meager receipts indicate but little Tobacco

regions while offerings In this market are COM
posed Of choicer grades, suitable for the Bremen
and Mexican markets. Rates since our last re-
view have not undergone any quotable change
and we continue to quote:
