branches of home trade b.gin 10 pick
up little with the near approach OF
autumn, but the general markets still
wear dull appearance for the latter
part of August, and it is becoming
more and more evident that the Season
is to be characterized with the same
| canton that has been so conspicuous
al through the past year.
| But still the situation has its en-
couraging feature. The crop re
ports show that we shall have an abun-
| dance of all the principal fruits of the
soil. m spite of the recent bad wealth
| er influences in portions of the West
and Southwest. The cotton crop holds
out promise of being one of the lar
gest since the war, while the cer5G!
crops will be sufficiently large to Sup
ply our country and also to supply the
demand for expectation.
In our naval Store and Cotton Mar
kets there is lesa frmuess than pre-
viously noticed, and the markets on
some portions of the latter have Ge-
clined. The export movement for the
week was rather small as compared
with last week, owing to the want Of
ship-room. The shipments for the
week were as follows. Cotton 2 bales
Spirits turpentine 1850 casks, ROsin
2l96 barrels, Crude Turpentire 356
barrels Tar 484 brrEels against Cot
ton, 120 bales spirits tursentine,
2, sos, casks rosln, 1916 barrels,
crude turpentine, 391 barrels tar
457 barrels for last week.
Ocean treights continue quiet. There
was no increase on tonnage during the
week. Rates OF charter and freight
unchanged.
The chief features of market, and
the changes of prices of most Of the
leading products and manufactures
for the w,=,k, were as follows
COTGON-rne transactions OF the
week have been limited to the filling
of fsmalI orders for home consumption.
