DETROIT MARKET.

Whiit force OF habit CCmpeis some OF our
dealers to 50 through lie motions OF business
this week. il is quite evident from the express
sous heard here and there, that 2 majority
would iu5t as eoon shut up shop until after
the holidays. Aud how much better j. would
be. IJr mind and body. if we brcathless, pull
ns uggng, excited Americans, could Cnly
settle down 10 one week OF fun aud re union
and jollty IN the course o. tie bracng winter
There would be no less money made in the
aggregate, while the physical health and moral
influence resulting from such a course would
be incompatible with wealth. Practically,
business tins week is q mockery. Traders all
know il. surely the coming generation will
be wiser than their fathers.

days hence buyers OF dry goods, hardware
groceries and perhaps other articles. Will have
% pay more for their purchases than now
Such, at least, appears to DO tue opinion of
everybody and that reliable person is generally
correct. In groceries the most noticeable fea-
ture is the frnres5 Of Rio coffee prime is
yet joDbed by some houses at 81 but recent
buyers arc unable TO clear themselves at that
figure and ask %. Sweets are more steady
Sugars have no particular strength, but syrups
AMI moiasses, having gone through the season
OF speculation, corners" &C., are now on a
steady basis. Rice and spices have upward
tendencies but fish look down. A little mark
ing up has taken place on cotton goods suitable
for spring wear. Iron goods, it Is said, must
90 up. Breadstuifs have considerably improved
since week ago. Flour is no higher but held
with more confidence; choice TO fancy winter
