WEEK ENDING THURSDAY.
April 10. 1873.
COMMERCIAL EPTTOME.-The

e.
! past week has shown very little i'm
j proverrent in the volume Of business.
. The extreme tightness of the Northern
money markets has had the effect to
4! lessen the naval stores trade on ac-
count OF the comparatively few orders
being received from that source -
Spirits Turpentine has been quiet and
steady all the week The transactions
have been somewhat restricted by the
small stock in first hands. Eosin.-
The rosin market has been in the
HANDS, of th,. bulls" during the week,
and the soluln. OF business has been
dome in quiet way and has not come
20 the knowledge of the Reporter.
l. the transactions that have been re-
ported very few variations of prices
have occurred. Co.ton-A fair export
demand has existed, but sales have
been small owing to the inferior quail
ties Offering. There are very few good
lines Of cotton in market, and these
are not offered for sale. Grain.-The
grain market has been active, owing
t. the large lpts-Srlces have re-
ceivcI few fluctuations. Provisions

increase III the volume Of business Iii
this line The very warm weather of
ttt past few days las induced many
OF the country dealers to purchase
stocks. Should the wa:m weather
continue there will doubtless be a
brisk business during the coming
week, for stocks il t:e country are low
; and merchants cannot much longer
delay making their purchases. The
money market is still stringent, but
nothing equal to the past few weeks.

! are reviewed as follows:
! COTTON-The Continued flnctua-
tions of gold and the unsettled and
unsatisfactory condition of the finan-
cas III the great cotton markets and the
continued large receipts At the ports,
has had the effect to depress this arti-
Gle all over the country. LII our
market there has been a fair movement
of this staple, but the limited supply
OF fine grades has thrown the buyers
on the lower grades, and as these are
only in moderate inquiry there has
been but small transactions. The
stock of cotton which, however, is
large and fully 5000 bales, is princi-
pally of inferior grades. There are a
few lines of fine staple i'll the market,
but these are not offered and sellers
show but little disposition to realize.

bales. The exports were 9G. bales and
the stock, when last taken, vas 4,759
bales.
