OF business transacted was not sufficient to
brag about.
Though the market was quiet, holders not
manifesting anxiety to part with their prop
erty, prices ruled firm. the sales of Cotton
footing up only $50 bales. During the past
week the market has been strong, the sales
amounting to $500 bales.
During the week the demand for Flour has
been chiefly confined to the higher grades OF
old flour, most of which has been taken up by
dealers. Though there is no quotable adj
vance in prices on these grades, the market
| Is firm. On the contrary, new flour is dull
with prices easy. The receipts of flour dur
! ing the week footed up 1921 barrels, against
1878 this week last year. The stock on hand
| is estimated TO be 10000 barrels. The sales
to-day were about 1900 barrels.
The supply of Corn Meal being scant, the
market is firmer, small lots selling about Sc
higher, though the demand Is dull.
In Provisions generally there Is better
feeling. The Pork market, however, rules
heavy, though it was q little firmer to-day
than yesterday.
In Dry Salt Meat there Is fair improve
ment, both in prices and demand.
There has been a good demand for Bacon
during the past two days, and prices have
improved.
For Hams prices have experienced no
change and this product of the hog now rules
steady to strong for sugar-cured.
The sales Of Corn to-day amounted to only
$50 sacks. at from as TO 53c, according to quail
ity, the market being steady and the request
moderate.
CoTToN - The market to-day was some
what quiet, but notwithstanding this prices
ruled firm, as holders were not willing
sellers, and the sales to the close aggregated
only $50 bales.
In reviewing the trade for the past week we
find that the market generally has ruled
strong, with sales of 6300 bales; in some cases
sales have been made ut figures above the
quotations.

II the Chicago Inter Ocean is to be believed,
banking at the Western trade centres has not
proved profitable of late. 1t says with its
characteristic bIuntness:
IF appearances are to be taken as proof
those who expect to receive the usual returns
on their bank stock at the end of the first half
of the year, now close at hand, may as well
dismiss the idea at once and look TO some
other source of revenue for their spending
money"

Eastern leather markets are tending up. In
sympathy with the advance in price of hides,
hemlock sole is ruling very firm in tone, and
it is doubtful if good selections can be OBJ
tanned except at prices above what are quoted
below. The demand is very good, and, on the
whole, moderately active trade Is noted,
though manufacturers are showing very lit
tie inclination to buy great deal more than
immediate requirements demand. Union
crop is ruling firm at former prices and sells
freely. In oak sole fair iobbing trade is
noted, and rough leather meets with fair re-
quest.

FLoUR-The demand for flour this week
has run principally on the higher grades of
old wheat products and it is understood the
stocks of that description have about all been
taken up by dealers. On them the market
has been and continues to be quite firm with
out any quotable advance in prices. New
wheat flour is dull and has sold only at easy
prices, 80 much so that supplies of that de-
Scr1pttOn are beginning to go into store. The
receipts Of the week have been 1921 bbs,
against 10,517 last week and 1913 this week
last year. The month opened with d supply
OF 1921 bbls; adding the receipts to date and
the product of our local mills, the total
supply has been 1864 bbls. If from
this be deducted the local consumption,
1000 to 1900 bbls u day, or say $4,000 bbls,
and exports amounting to $500 bbls, 1t is
shown that the actual sales have been about
equal to the current receipts, and that the
stock now on the market is approximately
10000 bbls: Business to-day was moderate.

Indications that money will be ''cheap" and
that revival Of speculative financial opera
tions is at hand, are noticed by the London
Times. The Stock Exchange of that great
financial centre is threatened with an imme-
date flood of new Russian, Austrian, Span
ish, Greek and other national loans, and a
fresh and abundant crop of railway and other
Industrial schemes is looked for. The British
protectorate in Asiatic Turkey will invite
large investments in that region, some of
which, at least, are likely to be made under
government guarantees. If the guesses Of
the Times are realized in England, the spec
ulatiye outpouring will probably not be long
in extending its influences to this continent.
1t is said that in less than quarter of O
century the Turks have borrowed 81, 000, 00O,-
600. Out of this sum about SAC. 900 900 have
been spent in ornaments, military and naval
and the balance has gone to enrich yziers,
pashaS, middlemen, tinanciers commission
agents. and to maintain the luxury of harems
and royal palaces. 1t is thought that the
present movement among the deluded bond
holders OF England and France will possibly
result in combinations of spectators who
VIII buy up the present scrip at little better
comparatively than the price Of waste paper,
and then by much intriguing and great pa
tence they may secure some kind of eompro-
misc. 1t is within the bounds of reason to be-
Ieve that such combination will bend all
their influence upon the raising of new
Turkish loan to pay composition of some
thing upon the Old scrip.

The Galveston News. of the tenth instant,
says: 1.-THE adjournment of the railroad
convention here without coming to an under
standing is misconstrued by some as an event
inimical to the interests OF Galveston. The
contrary is the case, and II the facts were
made public it would perhaps transpire that
there was a refusal on the part of certain in
terests to unite on through figures giving
undue advantages to New Orleans, and which
would have deprived this port of its advanl
tage of proximity TO producers"
The New York Bulletin has valuable ar
ticle showing that it would be almost impos-
sible for famine to occur in this country, for
our railways penetrate every part of 1t, while
In China food supplies cannot be got to the
districts where the famine is raging, and the
people are starving by thousands. The pres
ent famine, if nothing else, should convince
the rulers of that vast empire that their ex-
olusiveness and rejection of the commercial
facilities of modern civilization should he
abandoned.
