REVIEW OF THE MABKErs.-Tbe general whole
sale and jobbing trade of the city has progressed
satisfactorily since the date of our last regular
view, Friday evening, the I'd inst. Operations 10
the leading staple have been restricted and irregq-
lar. Tobacco has been in good supply and active
demand at frmer, though not quotably higher
figures. Sugar and Molasses have been quiet at
previous prices. Flour has somewhat recuperated
and prices are irmer. Corn, owing to liberal re-
ceipts has declined the demand continues fair,
however. Oats and Bran are in ample supply and
coed request at improving rates. Hay and Pork
have ruled quiet, with fair offerings, at previous
figures. Bacon and Lard have been only moder
ately active at easier prices Whisky continues in
large supply and restricted demand; prices noIni-
nal. Currency Is still abundant for all business
purposes, and Foreign and Domestic Exchange
show an advance in rates, with extensive daily
transactions.
CoTroH-At the close of our last weekly re-
view, Friday evening, the I'd instant, the market
was inactive, unsettled and depressed. On Sat-
urdsy, the first day Of the present commercial
week, there was slightly better feeling noticea
BILE, owing TO less discoursgng adyices from all
important outside points. But on Monday. on &C.
count of uDfavorable intelligence from Liverpool
and New York, holders had to submit to slight
concessions in order to effect Sales and the move
ment on Tuesday disclosed, II anything, still
greater languor despite marked advance In rates
of both Foreign and Domestic Exchange. For
past three days, however. we would refer TO
the subjoined extracts from our daily reports,
viz:
Saturday, april s.-The market opened
Of the closing advices from Europe Of
last evening, but upon the arrival of
the Liverpool and New York kilograms the
inquiry became quite active; operations, how
advances demanded by factors and refused by
buyers. Had holders been willing to sccept yes.
teTdsy's figures, q very large business would
doubtless Rave been the result. The total sales
Of the day footed up only 1000 bales, however,
ard the market closed steady.
Monday, Apra 5.-The market opened with
moderate inquiry this morning, but at lower rates.
which were refused by several holders until the
arrival Of the New York and European tele-
grams, which were deemed unfsvorable. when
factors generally seemed more disposed to make
concessions. Some Of the latter, however, were
firm ia their demands throughout, and covered up
their samples rather than submit to any reduc-
tion. Despite the falling offin rates and the induce
change, nevertheless the total transactions Of the
day footed up only 1000 bales, and the market
closed dull at tGlc. decline.
Tuesday, Aprh 6.-The market opened quiet
this morning, but became dull and depressed on
the arrival Of the European and Northern tele-
grams. Holders generally refused to make
any concessions whatever and covered up their
samples Some, however, who were obliged to
place their lists submitted TO the reduction de-
msnded by buyers. Nearly all sales effected
were made ct a reduction Of 10. D d. on yester.
day figures. The total transactions Of the day
foot up only 1000 bales at the following quota
tons. viz: Ordinary 243025ac.; good ordinary
26{@264c.; low middling 270-; middling asa
=, and strict middling nominal As compared
with quotations Friday evening. the I'd inst, the
above disclose an irregular decline Of fully 303c.

The total sales for the past three days footed
up 6Q00 bales, against Is, 100 bales for the oor.
