TRADE.
The fall season is fast drawing to a
close, to be followed With the usual sea-
son of the holidays-Christmas and New
Year s--which few years ago were the
great eras in the Southern States, and
after which business became active and
general for many months. Now there is
a great change, and one we fear is moi
for the better. Trade is remarkably dull
the fall trade even has not, by any means
come up to the expectations of the least
sanguine, and the unsettled condition Of
the money market and scarcity of funds
with the political situation in Europe
has a depressing effect on all branches
of trade. Business during the past week
has been very quiet. In the provision
market the tendency has been downward
and prices have materially declined.
Grain, too, has declined, especially corn.
Baling stuffs are weaker, with moderate
demand. Flour is dull, with an ample
stock. Groceries are quiet and gener
ally unchanged. Dry goods, hardware

material change since our last weekly
