AT the opening of business to-day the stock
market became firm, the presence of Daniel
Drew on the street, and the statement that he
was settling oil the contracts that came due yes
terday causing renewal OF the buoyant feeling
that has prevailed on the street for some weeks
past. Erie was exceptionally weak and lower.
The fluctuations were frequent along the entire
list, but prices kept steadily improving under
the lead of Western Union Telegraph. Later
there was a decline in the general list and q
subsequent recovery. During the afternoon
Panama went to the front, with an advance OF
~ per cent, and Pacific Mail went up to ~ per
cent, and IL was inferred that something favor
able had been done at the meeting of the direct
ors, reported as being held to-day, but on in
qutry IL was ascertained that nothing but
routine business had been transacted. At the
final close the market firm, and prices
showed an advance of u to l5E per cent, as COM
pared with the opening sales, and 4 to per
cent. on the closing quotations yesterday. Pan
anna was marked exception, and closed at liz
bid and l25 asked.
The total sales of stocks to day were 275 coo
shares, OF which a 900 were Pacific Mail, $1,000

REVIEW OF THE HOME Markets.
DRY GOODS.

DRY GOODS.
The agreeable. change of the weather has
brought a large number OF buyers to market
and the past week has undoubtedly been the
busiest one Of the season, while the quantity OF
foods sold exceeded by far that Of any previous
feek. Purchases have ceased to present the
appearance OF sorting up bills, cut ara assuming
tie liberal proportions OF spring stocks. Houses
hre are making special effort to keep up their
vaiouS departing cts by daily additions OF new
cities, and we are safe in assuring merchants
tina they viii find few better stocks 10 select

SPECULATION

has been more distinctly marked feature than
any other week, probably, in the history of the
city. Transactions ON the Board of Trade in
both cash and option sales have not unfre-
quently reached half a million dollars per day.
The general condition OF the market has been
firm and prices high There is hOthing which
the state produces which will not command q
hlgh price and bring the money on delivery.
On the other hand, dry goods, groceries and
nearly all imported commodities are either
cheap or to be mad n reasonable prices. The
close OF TIE month found short sellers in Chi
cagO. in both grain and provisions in paoicky
condition ana not very far from being badly
cOrnsrsd This had its effect ali over the country
while good markets at the sea-board and in
Liverpool kept pretty finn bottom in values.

WEEKLY BUSINESS REVIEW.

The favorable change in the weather has
given new impetus 10 the courage and energy
ofaii classes, and, all things considered. the past
week has been satisfactory in all business Cir
cles. That class of trade VIII ch looks 10 the
spring opening for its harvest has not been dis
appointed. Expec atiOns have been rather moro
than met. There has been nothing worthy of
nOfe "A the

That widely celebrated auction firm,
Messrs. Hoffman, Marks & Co. have become
fixed in their new establishment, and appear
perfectly at home. They now occupy two
large stores on Magazine street and one on Ora
vier, constituting two thirds of the large and
imposing granite building erected years ago
for the Canal Bank. The Messrs. H., NJ. &
Go. have gone to great expense to fit up these
stores in such a manner as to make them
suitable to the requirements of their business,
and at the same time to present most seemly
appearance.
Their shelves are filed with goods, and
there is business-like and thrifty look about
the establishment that is encouraging and re-
freshing in these times of dullness and CON-
mercial stagnation. The great number OF
boxes of merchandise which are daily re-
ceived at their place cause old Gravier street
to seem lively and cheerful again. There is
not more extensive, reputable and popular
auction house in the Southern country than
that of Messrs. Hoffman, Marks & Co. We
hope that their change of locality will .inure
greatly to their benefit, and that their daily
"crying will be followed by smiles of salts
faction and joy.
