The special features Of the week
ana the changes Of prices of the prin
cipal articles are reviewed "a follows:
COTTON There has been d fur
ther and pretty uniform advance IL
cotton during the past week. There
has been an active movement, but as
compared with last week shows de,
cline. The cause Of the decline in the
movement was not owing to any dis
position OF BUYERS to effect purchases,
Z for they have taken freely all offer,
ings,j but to the short supply n first
hands and the light receipts. There
was never n better demand fot the
staple than now, and prices are rroha-
! bly, rs high as will be maintained for
some time. planters will do well to
! note this fact and send in their cotton. J
! The advances for the week were regu-
/ lar and there was few fluctuations OF
! prices. A times the market grew duh
! under adverse advices from New \ ork,
/ but the next adyices were better, and
! the market would become firm. In this
| way there was continued f1uctuation
Of feeling, bat prices were not ma
! teriallv effected either way. To-day it
! closes firm at the quotations below.

ROSIS - The continued improve
mcnt in financial affairs has further
mad" itself felt ii the rosin market
this week, by giving confidence in the
future trade, which has been made
more active than usual by spectators.
Business, however, has been very
moderate, but the offerings have been
likewise moderate, and the movement
has been retarded by other influences
consequent upon decline i'll New
York aud 1t light export movement and
an increase of stock. That confidence
is gradually being restored is evident
from the fact that up to the last week,
since the panic, there has been no
trading done except Oh strictly legit-
innate basis while this week there has
been speculative movement and
buyers have purchased quite freely for
future delivery. The foreign trade of
the week, as compared with last week,
shows 4 decrease in the value of its
exports OF upwards of $40, 600. This
movement has been restricted by
scarcity of tonnage. For the last few
days, however, an increased supply
has arrived, and we look for an in
crease OF exports within the next week
The attendance at the Exchange" of
buyers and sellers during the week has
been large, ana transactions upon the
floor were quite lively. The sales for
the week AID the condition of the
market at different periods Of the
week, as reviewed, is as follows
Friday strained opened very quiet and
depressed, and spot trans actions were
at decline of > cents on the figures
