kEvIEw or THE MARKErs-The general trade
OF the city has shown but little amin alton since
T Sne cate OF our last review. The movement In
Cotton has been of q moderate extent, at slightly
lower prices. Tobacco has been inactive but
steady. In Sugar and Molasses we notice the first
srrWsis OF the new crop of the State, but they
nave been too light to afford any indication Of the
propabie opening prices of the season. Bread
stuis have been quiet and prices unsteady. Pro-
visions have remained Dull, business being
generally confined 70 local or jobbing trade.
The Money market has disclosed no material
change- Foreign Exchange has exhibited slight
degree OF animation, but at very irregular rates,
and Domestic Exchange has been dealt In TO some
extent at steadily advancing figures.
CoTToS-The only alteration to notice in the
movement in the leading staple Ia decline of lc
on prices paid at the date of our last review. The
demand has been fair and general, being divided
among buyers for Northern and European mar
see. Receipts continue to increase and offerings
on al descriptions have, been fully ample to meet
all ordinary requirements. Advices from New
ork and Liverpool have been mostly in favor of
felers, but the frequent, and at times violent uc.
&uauons in Gold and Foreign Exchange, have had

2.ner markets. The following synopsis Of the
Faily movement will convey a correct idea of the
