The day has passed with no increase
in the general condition o. business
trade being as dull as
yesterday with the merchants, and the
banks reporting the same hand 10 mouth
order o. business, that has marked the
entire Summer thus far. One day is
b ut the prototype o. all others during
the heated month, though occasional
sports take place at rare intervals.
The general markets throughout the
country are about at the same old sew
en-and-six state that has marked them
30 long. The tone of the breadstuff
market is cHiet but frm, the light
stocks Of four going to mako prices
much firmer than ii, like previous sea-
sons, there were any large amounts to
be carried over. The supply OF corn
seems TO be ample till the new crop
comes on, but holders are still firm IN
their views, with q light demand from
purchasers. New Orleans exchanges
report little movement in sugars, the
demand being limited, with Job lots
ruling steady. The butter supply is
ample. with stocks accumulating In the
OF the markets. The fruit
rade in New Orleans, the Times says,
g active, and the receipts are easily
u u'rketed, at fair prices. Apples and
melons are in ample supply, and sell
'reely. Pine-apples are scarce aud in
lemand. Bananas are in fair demand
md stock light, prices ruling in favor
If holders.
