REVIEW

COMMERCIAL EPITOME-Gen
eral trade, in all of its branches, has
been extremely dull during the Week
and the same absence of spirit and
confidence which has SO long prevailed
has become still more apparent. In
the naval store trade about the usual
transactions have transpired, but out
side of this there has been very little
speculative movement. In the general
merchandise markets there Las BEEN
scarcely any activity, and the n,er-
chants are complaining of almost a
complete stagnation. COttOn-During
the week has been very quiet, in fact,
almost nominal. Spirits Tur1cntinc-
There was a slight revival early i'll the
week, but gradually 4 dependency
became apparent and a daily decline
was the result: ROsin-Some activity
has been displayed and the sales will
average favorably with those Of the
preceding week Futures i'll Strained
have been dealt in and the market has
ranged at last week S quotations bat
toward the close there is less conf
dence exhibited IN the stability of the
still further decline. Cfudc Tuprn-
tine Remained quiet and steady on
the first day of the present week, bat
gave way to the .lEllncs' of other
branches OF trade and declined
The receipts of Crude are barely
up to the alticipatiOns Of man
ufacturcrs, but are i'll sufficient
quantity to supply the distillers.
Tlu' i Il market iii its earliest stages
was dull, but revived, and !, slight adj
vcnce was gained which has been fully
maintained, hut .at the close the I'M
dartone exhibits n slight reaction.
G,.ai,a-Thcre is slight improvement
in corn, but oats and. peas have
been quiet and last weeks prices
have ruled transactions. P,orisiO''s
Tho market Is quiet and steady
and we have no changes to
note The stock both of Carolina aid
Western bulk meats is heavy and fully
equal to supply the trade. Dry GoOI*-
| There is Il perfect stagnation in the
wholesale dry goods market and very
| few orders from the country are being
received The local retail movement
is good and dealers are doing quite IL
active business in a small way. Money
The money market is tight. The
Banks are having frequent calls 70,
loans on collateral, and are taking al
acceptable paper offered at y to t
| cent. The special features of the ms r
| ket and the changes in prices for the
! leading articles OF commerce for the
week ending are reviewed as follows:
| ROSIN.-The movement i'll rosi1
| during the past week has been fully III
! to the STANDARD OF transactions, bu
very few new features have been de
veloped. Buyers have been making
strong exertiOns to put the marke
| down, but sellers have been firm to
certain extent, and have refused tt
accept lower rates. Strained has beel
active and large amount has changed
hands, both for future delivery ans
spot sales, but buyers have not show
much disposition to purchase beyont
their actual requirements. The mar
ket in it's earliest stage (Friday) open
ed quiet, and buyers could not be il
duced to operate to any extent, tn
demand for strained being limited, an
the figures offered, being concessio
on the closing rates of last week, So sc
this sellers refused to accept, and til
transactions of the day were confine
to lot Of fifty brls. No. 1, at So G
