We have much more favorable report
of business done during the past week
in all branches than has been noticed
for some time. In dry goods the move
ment, though not active, shows an in
crease over the previous week, and sur
passes that of the corresponding week
last year. The advance of 10 per cent
on all domestic goods at New York, no
ticed in our last weekly review has been
fully maintained there, but as yet has
not been realized BY our merchants, and
prices during this week will be about
the same, but in all probability will be
advanced as soon as the fall stocks now

the thief under $500 bonds-$30OO for

MONEY.
Money matters during the week have
worn a quiet aspect. The demand for
accommodation has improved steadily
but not yet reached that point where a
pressure OF stringency can be reported,
nor is there any likelihood Of such a
state Of affairs during the season. Our
information to-day is that some Of our
merchants will get through the season
without assistance, while others will
perhaps not require half the assistance
rendered last year Discounts are made
at 10 to u per cent at the banks, and
from II to p per cent per month in the
open market.
The supply and demand for exchange
during the week has been about equal,
