TRADE.

Trade in u general markets labOrs
under the decline in gold and the
shaky condition of the cotton market,
and is dull in nearly every depart
ment, with orders limited to the re-
quirements of the hour. 1t is a pre-
Vailing idea that prices have not yet
touched bottom, and until the people
are satisfied upon this point, trade
will continue light. Boots and shoes
and dry goods are quiet at about last
weeks prices. The usual spring de
mand for these articles has not yet
opened, but several buyers for the lat
ter now entered the market during
the week and bought with some
spirit.
The following are the resolutions
/ psssed by the National Convention of
Tobacconists recently assembled in
! New York:
ReSOIced, That while we approve of
the present stamp law, and of every
| safeguard calculated 10 prevent and
detect fraud, yet, in our opinion, the
/ necessity for monthly returns and an
nual inventories has ceased, and there
| fore they should be abolished, since
they subject the trade to an humil-
iating and detestable espionage.
ReSOiUed, That we urge upon Con-
gress to restore the duty on imported
cigars to SO per pound and 50per cent.
| Qd V~dJOreR, which is absolutely essen
tiaI to protect our home industry
against the cheap labor Of foreign
lands.
Resolued, That we urge upon Con-
gress the repayment of the taxes I'M
Justly collected upon all goods which
can conclusiyely show that they have
once paid the tax.
ResOIUed, That we petition for a
uniform tax Of sixteen cents per pound
on tobacco; for the establishment Of
bonded warehouses wherever the ne
cessities Of the trade may require
them; to be allowed two removals of
goods in bond instead OF one, as now;
and against the proposed compulsory
! payment OF all taxes at the factory.
