for higher rates. The future move
ment of rosin is at figures which il
themselves assert that buyers have
confidence in the market. The az
rivals of a goodly number of vessel:
| have also encouraged better feeling
and taking the market as whole, al
though it appears little sluggish al
the close of business to-day, we think
that the trade is approaching, by de-
grees, healthy state and permanent
basis, SPIRITS TURPENTINE-In this
Article we notice also an improved
feeling similar to that of rosin, and
the terms of the above may strictly
apply also to this branch of trade.
CRUDE TURPRNTINE-The market has
been in an unsettled state for several
days, and has fuctuated entirely &C
cording to the feeling and disposition
of those who rule the market. At the
close of the week, however, we
are pleased to notice that there
is good feeling. and it is thought
that the present rates will be fully
maintained, if not advanced. Tar
There is not so much stability exhibit
ed in this article as we should like to
see or report. The demand at present
is not large, and with an improvement
of receipts and light export the stock
has increased, which has somewhat de-
creased the firmness of the market.
CoTToS-This staple is dull and
there is not much doing, quota
tions are off from ! to ! cent. Pro
vIsIoNs-Conspicuous among the weeks
trade has been the advance of some de-
script ons of hog products. Western
meats in sympathy and to correspond
to the leading market, have advanced
from to 1 cent. GRAIN-Numerous
cargoes of Corn have arrived which
were placed upon market and owing to
the excess of Corn, has rather reduced
prices. In ephrasaologyo of Dry Goods
and the Money Market we can make no
important changes, and give the sub
stance of last weeks remarks 'DRY
GOODS. trade has not assumed
much larger proportions than was
noted in our last review. The trade i'll
Summer fabrics is still lively, and re-
tailers are having fair season, and
are sacrificing to a considerable extent
their stocks to keep from moving them
in the Nall changes Of business houses.
MoNEY-The demand for money this
week has been as large as usual at this
season of the year. In the open money
market there is only light business
being done, but the banks are having
frequent calls for loans on collateral
security and are discounting accepta-
bic paper at unchanged rates"
The changes in prices for the lead
ing articles of merchandise and the
special features of the week are review
ed as follows
COTTON.-The cotton market has
been dull nearly all the week, and
there is decline of !. to cent on all
grades. The decline in our market
has been the effect of the breaking of
the prices in New York and Liverpool.
At the declining prices however, there
has been some demand, and there was
some movement in the market, but
the stock is small and will not admit
of only limited transactions. The
receipts are gradually but slowly fall
ing off, and with an export movement
in excess of the receipts the stock is
also becoming smaller, and as last
taken, was Gi5 bales.
The general cotton movement for the
week was as follows: It appears that
the total receipts for the seven days
have reached TO- Sl bales against H.
255 bales last week, 12,G1S bales
the previous week, and 1888
bales three weeks since, making
the total receipts since the first of

against 2,712,0 O9 bales for the same
period of 1SIl-12, showing an increase
since September 1st, 1872, of S74,24
bales.
The exports for the week end

bales, of which ~, 131 were to
Great Britain, !, 726 to France, and 800
to rest of the Continent, while the
