GENERAL REMARKS.

GENERAL REMARKS.
The sales for the past week were as good
as usual at this season, the business being
confined principally to orders, which,
though not large, were quite numerous.
But few country merchants visit the mar
ket at this season of the year, and appear
to be ordering quite spar1ngly. Prices in
the supply markets being fully main
tanned. a firm feeling prevails here, and
the market rules steady at former quota
tIons- There is no prospect, imm ediate or
remote, for a decline in staple cottons.
Stocks are heavy and well assorted.
In Boots ard Shoes dealers report a very
fair trade for the week; in fact, larger
business was done than was anticipated.
Prices remain steady, without any mate
rial change. Stocks are full.
W. have no change to note in Hats and
caps. our dealers have large stocks, and
are fully able 10 meet the wants of the
market.
In Queensware we report good trade,
with prices unchanged. The trade In
Frat Jars continues heavy, and prices
have advanced . per cent at the manu-
factories, but this advance has been only
partially realized by our dealers. Tie
demand promises to be greater than the
supply, and if country dealers want TO
buy at the best figures, the sooner they
make thei: orders the better.
The market for Produce and Provisions
continues stiff, although prices are gem
orally unchanged. Salt has declined 25c
per barrel
The iron market remains about the
same as last re port, with the exception OF
Tin Plate, which has declined twenty
cents per box.
The trade in Groceries has been mode
rate, and prices are unchanged. Sugars
continue firm at last quotations.
The market for Drugs has been quite
active, with good sales. Linseed OIL has
advanced, and Opium has declined.
The Liquor trade has been fair. High
' wines have advanced to 9jc.
The Tobacco marKet during the past
week has been active and firm, with a
material advance Ga all grades. Recei pts
have not been very heavy, as the bulk oil
the crop has already been Gent to market,
Shipments are being made to this point to
be held until the big sale that takes place
on the 18th of this month.
