REVIEW OF THE MAKKETs.-rhere Is still SOM
leI-up Lsuceable in the general wholesale ano
jobbiDg trade OF the city, owing to the absence Of
orders and buyers from the Interior. The move

alteration whatever. Sugar and Molasses have

quest at unchanged quotations, while Pork ano
Lard, after having been unsteady, disclose q
marked Improvement to day, and Bacon is 10 fair
request at about former rates. Money continues
abundant. Gold is inactive. Foreign Exchange
is N moderate supply and demand, and Dome stlc
Exchange Is active but lower.

request been brought forward. For full particu-
lars Of the regular daily movement we would
refer to the subjoined extracts from our previous
