GENERAL REMARKS.
Trade has been excellent during the past
week, and the continued good stage OF wa
ter in the river, is making business more
lively. The great drawback is the great
tightness in the money market, and as the
Cotton Planters seem determined 10 hold
their stock, there is not much promise of
early relief.
The market for Provisions aud Produce
has been active, and the demand CONTINUES
fair and prices firm. The Hog market Is
active, and Lard is stIT at quotations. The
number OF hogs packed in this city TO date
j. about 1000, IN round numbers. We
change quotations in several grades o.
Flour. In Drugs and Liquors we note but
little change; Coal OIL has declined about
lie per gallon. In Groceries trade has been
active; Sugars, Molasses, Candles, White
Fish, Batting and Rice are quoted shade
lower. Other articles are generally I'M
changed.
The Queensware trade has been good
stocks are large and well assorted; prices
are unchanged, and Will compare very fa-
vorably with other markets. In Boots
and shoes we report good trade. The
Hat and Cap trade is only fasr, but dealers
have large and well assorted stocks.
DRY GOODS.

satisfactory prices Sales were, no doubt,
fully as good as for the corresponding
week in previous years.
