TRADE

The general markets during the week
have exhibited nothing worthy of esPe-
cial notice on our Iiart. The extreme
dullHess in the cotton market Is alluded
TO under its proper head, and the decline
in the staple has had a bad effect D ogen-
eFal trade, though 80 far this season the
bulk of business has shown a very de-
cided increase in all its branches. The
grocery trade has been fairly active, and
prices are much the same as reported last
week. Meats are in fair supply, but the
stock is reducing under a steady iobbing
demand from the interior, with hight re-
eeipts. Feed Of all kinds has been duIi
except in the article of oats, which have
been irm and rather scarce.
The stock of coffee at Rio or the 9th OF
May was 100, 900 bags, and daily receipts
$500 bags. . We take the following in ref
erence to the coffee trade from a New Or
leans exchange:
"Out Of thirteen vessels sailed from
Rio, between 23d of April and 9th of May,
not a single One was for NeE Orleans,
Among the twenty-nine vessels cleared
and ready for sea. and loading or about to
load, of Rio and Santos, we do not ind
one for this city.
aThe coffee year will close with this
month, and as there is not a single bag on
the way to this port, the result of the
wears business may be stated now. Tint
total imports from Rio since July, 1863,
are l39, 742 bags, against log, 81 for the
same period last year, showing IN increase
of g, sol bags, or only q per cent.
NEARLY all of these importations, with
some 40, 600 to so. 200 bags received coast
wise, have been consumed in the South.
A few shipments West have been made,
but for no length of time have sufficient
stocks been offered in this market TO at
tract Western purchasers.
"The Western people are desirous of
returning to this market for their coffee
and sugar, and we can easily get the trade
by Offering the same facilities as New
York or Baltimore.
"We understand that our importers
have made arrangements to largely In
crease their purchases of coffee the com
ing season, to the extent of some 3OO,OO0
bags or more"
DRY GOODS. FL
We repeat our quotations of last week,
as there is no change whatever to report.
AS in the other markets, the demand is of
a flling-up character, and while not
heavy, Il aggregates very well. The pol
lev of light but frequent purchases has
been adopted very generally this season,
by country dealers, and the success met
with will not be without Its effect on the
future trade of our city. OF the adYan-
tages OF this policy we have before spo-
ken, and we need only now refer to it
casually. The experience of last fall,
when dealers OverstOeked themselves
with goods bought ksst, and to pay for
which extraordinary efforts nave beep
made and often without success, should
impress upon them the Importance of the
fpresent system of purchases.
