moderate, being confined to the immedi-
ate wants Of the trade, while the demand
for wooden goods increases as the cold
season approaches Collections are re-
ported fair and prices unchanged. The
movement in boots and shoes has been
fair and the business done during the
month will fully equal that Of last month.
Sales during the early part Of the week
we're somewhat sluggish, but improved
and were quite active at the close.
Prices have undergone no important
change. The stocks held East are small,
comparatively, and those held here are
large and well assorted In liquors
there has been fair business done, and
the prospects for the future are flatter-
ing. The harness and saddlery trade is
active, and in hardware we notice quite
an improvement. In the general mar
ket the most noticeable features are the
decline in corn and oats, as well as corn
meal, aud a shading in the price Of
meats and bagging. The receipts
Of the new crop Of sugar and molasses
has had the effect to reduce prices some.
