FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
REVIEW OF THE WEEK,
FOR Til e WEEK ENDING AUGUST 20, 1878.

The price and the demand for goods have remained
very uniform the past week. The yellow fever
scourge in the South has effected the sale of some
class OF goods especially in the fish market. The dry
goods jobbers report very good trade in Their line
during the month of August with prospect of
considerable increase the coming month. The money
market has changed but little and gold continued at
$1.0o4 throughout the week.
Apples are Offering freely now, not only from the
West but from all parts of this state and prices are
naturally reduced Beans offering in fair demand
at the prices OF last week. Butter is offering quite
freely and table lots quoted at 17@20c., while
store lots are worth 1C@15c. Cheese is little dull
and prices incline downward Coffee is dull and un-
changed. Cooperage shows no movement. Copper
and cordage are unchanged. In drugs and dyes a
few changes will be noticed and the tendency is to-
ward easier prices. Duck is in fair demand at I'M
changed prices. The flour market is firm and prices
are little easier. In the iru't market reduction
will be noticed in oranges and lemons. Corn conn-
ues to come forward quite freely but the good demand
keeps prices up. Hay is plenty and prices are lower;
we quote pressed at $11@12 and loose s12@13. Iron
is unchanged. Lard is dull with little doing. Leath-
er continues in fair demand at old prices. Lumber
exhibits no change in price or demand Linseed oil
is little frmer, Eggs are little higher and we
quote at 13@14c, Pork is unchanged in price or de-
mand, The supply of mackerel has been very large
Of late but the lack Of a demand in the South has
utterly demoraized the market so that 1t is mposs
BILE to fix any prices on these goods this week. Sug-
ars have remained unchanged the past week; granu-
lated is quoted at 9sc and Extra at Sc. Teas and
tobacco are unchanged.
