TRADE.

There was the usual activity IN the
general markets yesterday which is
always noticeable on Saturdays even in
midsummer. To be sure trade is really
duh when compared to that of the fall or
spring, but when we consider that July
with its heat is upon us-ihat the planters
can't spare time To come to town, but
prefer remaiuingat home up0uthe plaRta-
ton, We have no right ia grumble. The
demand is steady and as a general thing
goods are sold for cash while stocks are
not heavy. and pressing obligations do not
cucumber our merchants as they did even
e wear ago As vet there has heep but
few applications for advances on the eom-
ing crop. though of course there is always
some demand in this way, but it is
thought that after this year planters Will
be able to get through without assistance.
The impression prevails that dry goods
viii be higher when the fail trade sets in.
Holders OF goods, says the Yew York
Bulletin, are firm in sympathy with the
continued hrmness in the market for the
raw material, aRd on the strength Of tls
further supposed fact that stocks of goods
are not excessive. Manufacturers also
are hegiuuipg to consider the question of
q further reduction ia time, Cotton is SO
high that they cannot afford to sell their
productions at even present rates, and
some of the largest mills are proposing to
stap during August, We do not, however,
look for any general movement of this
kind. It is 10 easy matter to stop a mill,
and unless a general movement could be
inaugurated there is very little proba-
hility that any important mills would
adopt such a policy. The consumption OF
cotton by our spinners is probably now
about two thousand or twenty-five
hundred bales less per week than early IN
the season, and there may be a further re
duction by going on shorter time, but we
do not believe in any general stoppage.
