MARKET.

cotton market, the past week has not been an
active one In business circles-the races, a day
given to the commemoration Of the Confeder-
ate dead, and the political excitement caused
by the Cincinnati Convention, have all inter-
fered with the regular course of trade. Infu-
ences within the circle Of business itself, how
ever, have caused dizziness more than all the
rest put together. The presence OF holiday
makers had its stirring effect on the retail
branches, but the occupations connected with
planting have kept country people away, and
the wholesale and grocery departments have
not been active. The quietude in the cotton
department has also contributed 70 dizziness
elsewhere. Corn was very active the previous
week. but has been less so this. The principal
point in this line has been the arrival Of a
large lot sold al the latter end OF last week, 10
arrive, il is understood at SIC. Since then
corn has advanced, selling in New Orleans at
7aa7Sc, and q iatboat load OF two that landed
here left for a market lower down; sales and
reSales have been making the last W or three
DAYS at &c and CSC, ear corn bringing Sc by
the boat-load in bulk. The markets above
are firm, and the prospect at the present mo-
ment is that corn will not go OF at the low
prices that appeared probable ten days ago.
Prices are not well settled, however, and 1t is
difficult to tell what the figures may be anoth-
er week. oats have been arriving freely, and,
as We write, are steady at SIC. Bran has been
wavering, some lots selling at 81 and ST 25but
those rates appeared 70 be below the market,
as re-sales Of the same lots were made at -,
which appears TO be the present rate Hay has
has been received plentifully, and the present
stock is good, with a steady demands prices
are hrmer than at the beginning OF the week,
good prime hay commanding so. The latest
quotations in this and other articles men
toned in this review, VIII be foundi in the Ia
BILE below. Cornmedl has been vacillating, full
arrivals having weakened prices at the earii-
er part OF the week, when lots in first n
went al s.; a hrmer feeling now prevails and
$50 has been secured. Some dealers have
stored their stocks for g ~, while even 80 Is
talked OF. Flour has experienced no muta-
ton during the week low grades are stlll out
Of favor, although they have come more into
notice In the first markets, and in Cincinnati
there has been an advance all round. BHiter
is in good demand for new; medium qualities
are heavy, and command a poor price. New
was selling at S3aSjc n week ago, but new
Illinois can now be had at Sc and Re. Eggs
have been in plentiful supply and prices have
declined; lie has been the prevalent price for
the last four days, and barrel eggs have often
brought no more than l3c. Chickens have
been in moderate supply but fully equal 10 the
demand; rates have generally been 81 for infe-
rior, 81 zoos % for the average qualities, and
$50 for fresh fine. No other poultry has been
on the market, OF in demand, except a few
ducks that sold at 81. Spring chickens are
wanted, but non have arrived. apples are
almost out Of the market; prime sell at $50
$50; sOund large apples will bring S@7 %, but
very few OF them are arriving. Potatoes are in
only local demand prices are rather Irregular,
sales Of ~peachblows being made from s. to
3Ia. other vegetables are entirely out OF the
market, except new that are arriving, and
have such a tendency 20 droop as they become
less a rarity, that quotations are Of little
value. Under the head Of Vegetables" below
we give tO-day's rates. We hear nothing new
Of Dried Fruits; apples have at length appear
ed; we give the quotations below Bacon us
steady al our quotations, which have been adj
vanced since last week, and are hrm. Bulk
Meats we cease TO quote; little is ieft in the
market. Moss Pork, after a period OF v~acilla-
ton, is at last steady at sl4. The amounts Of
this article now consumed in this market is a
mere shadow OF what it used 20 be; il appears
70 be decreasing in favor, being superseded by
j UuAAA AANaAN ia ~ NAAAa - 80 -A~-N
Railing moteYfai is still in fair demand, and
rates are unchanged and steady. Groceries
have been comparatively active on orders,
and this morning shows more movement
than for a week past; the improvement is
mainly due TO the presence OF visitors at the
races, who made use Of the opportunity TO re-
plenish their stores. FISh IS unchanged in
price; the demand for IL is decreasing. Lumber,
sash, glass, paints, lime, brick and ali other
material connected with building, show Inn
Provement, and win do more 50 as the supply
Of briek-now very nmitcd-increases. Rates
all through this class OF articles show no
change, except a decline In turpentine, which
we now quote at 75c; last week soc. Boots and
Shoes are doing a fair business for the season
prices are unchanged and steady. Wood and
WILLOW Hare are remarkably active for this
time Of the year, at unchanged rates. DRY
Goods are active, compared with the usual
business Of the corresponding week; prices
are steady and nrm. In Harduare a consider
able degree Of activity exists in the way OF
planting implements; everything I'm this line
has upward tendency, but we have no change
70 note this week except that the outside figure
Of cotton sweeps Is higher. The quotations
for manufactured Tobacco remain unchanged,
in the higher qualities the stock Is equal to
the demand, but in the lower kinds 1t is light.
prices are steady.
