TRADE.

There was the usual acANltN IN me
general markets Yesterday winch is
always noticeable on Saturdays even in
midsummer. To be sure trade is really
d11i When compared TO that Of the fail Of
spring, bgt when We consider that July
with its heat IS upon us-that the planters
can't spare time to come to town, but
prefer remaiRingat home upnnthe pianta-
ton, We have no right to grumble. The
demand Is steady and as a general thing
goods are sold for cash while stocks are
not heavy. and pressing obligations do not
cucumber n merchants as they did even
a year ago. As yet there has been but
few applications for advances on the caia-
n4s crop, tnougn. or coitrse therels al ways
some demand in this way, but it is
thought that amer this year planters will
I've able to Get Through Viti.sst assisIauee.
The impression prevails that dry goods
will Ice higher when the fall trade sets in.
Holders Of goods, says the Yew York
beHs'f8, ais ann lH z~yHlpathF with the
Continued hrmpess IN the market for the
raw material, and on the strength Of the
further supposed raGt that stocks Of goods
ale not excessive. Manufacturers also
are 'o4li' % consider the question Of
further reduction in time. Cotton is SO
high that they cannot afford 10 sen tReir
p~rodEctiogs At even present rates, and
Some of the largest mills are proposing to
stop during August. We do not, however,
look for any general movement of this
kind. II is no easy matter to stop anil,
and unless a general movement could be
inaugnrated there is very little proba-
bility that any important mills would
adopt such a policy. The consumption of
cotton by our spinners is probably now
about two thousand or twenty-five
hundred babes less per week thaa early IN
the season, and there may be a further re-
duction by going on shorter time, but we
do not believe in any general stOPpage.
