The trade movement was moderate all through
the last week, and there was comparatively little
activity In any department. though the markets in
numerous instances showed increased hrmness.
The business in dry goods showed large falling
or yet fair business was done In all the leading
fabrics. Hardware was very little sought after,
and business was decidedly quiet. The same was
true OF most other Kindred articles OF commerce.
AT the Produce Exchange there was considerable
buoyancy, but not nearly so much as during the
preceding week, and most kinds OF produce were
lower At the close OF hast week, even with the Erie
Canal closed or the winter while the stocks in

dull and heavy during the earlier part OF the week. but

The tendency of this market has been somewhat
in favor OF former rates, there being fair demand
from importers and moderate supply OF cotton
