WEEK ENDING THURSDAY,
November FL. 1877.
Observation-Disclosures generally has been quiet
during the past week, trade movements being
very materially restricted by the prevailing
horse efidemic, in consequence OF which great
difficulty has been experienced in making de-
liveriCs of merchandise bought and sold. The
extreme tightneSs of the money market has aito
been a great barrier to meI cantile ventures.
| VIC arc pleased to notice that merchants
are making every available effort TO procure
carriage, and we may expect revival of bust
ness in few days.
COTTON.-The cotton movement during the
week has been very large as compared with
tho two preceding weeks of tie month In the
earlier part of the week there was much the
same feeling apparent which characterized the
market Of last week, and though transactions
were free, yet prices were rather in favor Of
buyers. Monday morning, New York and
Liverpool advces being more favorable, holders
became encouraged and held at 4 cent al
vance corresponding TO New York;, which was
gained. Since then the daily transactions have
been very large at prices both satisfactory to
buyer and seller, though in some Instances
| holders were asking an advance. To-day, at
