TAI lSL The NORFOLK MARKETs.-From CONVEX
satlens with various prominent merchants
we are enabled to make the following OBJ
servatioas the general tone ofthe Nor
folk markets.
There is great stringency in the money
s@ze@@ sna6ket, owing to the large capital invested

t@@SS %sCotton-uWihg to the protractad dry
as~~s sweather Of the past SUMMER the cotton
~ @S~~bos opened unusually early being from
two to three weeks in advance oflast years
crop, in consequences of which the receipts
have thus far been extraordinarily large,
ahe receipts of last week at all the ports be-
~ee@a ing 5000 bales against &C. 600 for the same
Sks period last year. The result Of this gnt
fs that the cotton market here is considera
bly, depressed. .assra 4
Lumber is very dull, the supply being
ample, and the Northern markets be ing
~ cglatted the demand for shipment is rearly
nominal. The single market is particular
dy depressed aud instance may
cite the sale of cargo Of No. 2 hear cy-
press at SIS, rs to prominent dealer. An
1.sags other dealer, san example of the manner
&tg,>s IL ~h ich the Nor therns markets are glut,
GkE{8 tea tnfornls us that lot Of shingles ship
ped by him in December last is still un'
sold. The gentleman advises per
sons to let their timber stand, the mar
ket is so glutted that the pri> es will not
pay for the getting ont alone.
.A Flour-Supply large, demand small, the
pTN higher grades moving slowly at low
figures. For fine and super fine, the de-
mani is better and prices firmly
maintained.
Corn-We have little change to note, 1.-The
market bein,s rather 6rmer account OF
latest New ork advices.
Bacon and Pork-The market is quiet,
sine general tendency being downward,
although there is temporary rally.
Braer-Really prime is in demand, the
supply being light and the tendency
&tWY3fB slightly upward. There is good deal Of
inferior butter on the market for which
here isli&t lie dem and.
Tobacco-Owing to the short crop the
market is mated with upward ten
IT. 10 Aency and a fair demand for home con
sumption. Large quantities passing
through the city to Northern markets.
The THREE GuARpsMEN.-This high ly

lfEy romance ill be presented tonight at the
Opera House, Mr.. Frank Mayo, persona

honor, and vafor aud impudeuce. The
character is admirably adapted to Mr..

KEEP Cool is good advice in warm
weather, or when you feel disposed to let
your angry passions RISE but keep warm
gse 10 equally good sometimes, and to enable
every one to follow it, Mr.. G. l.. Crow is

Hsdling ofthe fire during the season, raids

4Es# the cheer and cozineks of the fire place.
eEsf We are confident that its best recommen-
dation, however, is an examination OF its
merits and advise readers to call and
see it.
