Commercial.

The general markets have ruled very active
during the entire week, and prieesas general
rule have been well maintained. The weather
has been exceedingly spring like, the roads
are in splendid condition, and there are large
number OF country dealers in the city buying
their spring and summer stocks There Is a
lively trade reported doing i'm dry goods, and
prices rule firm. The stocks held by our deal
ers are well selected, there being nothing
omitted either in the staple or fancy lines.
There Is but little doing in provisions.
The offerings during the week have been on a
small scale, as have the sales and prices are
reported nominal.
Dealers in groceries report an active demand
for all kinds of goods, especially for sugars and
eofiees, which rule very firm, with an upward
tendency.
The Daily Bulletin OF New York, in review
ing that market, says:
COffee.-Brazils are held with much more
confidence than at the commencement OF the
week and, as noled in our last, some of the
principal owners have Withdrawn their sam
nIes on an Increased limit OF valuation. There
has not, however, "a yet been obtained base
from which positive buOyancy could be ln-
fused and a Jul range of former rates is the
best advantage the selling interest can claim.
Demand fair, but directed principally TO in
NOlc-s from the steamer "CopcrnlcuS," OF
which we note 1000 bags and 2OlO do at cur
rent values.
On West India stock the view Of holders
<iiffer somewhat. one portion inclining to
make a show of firnness or resistance when
demand is shown, and others being willing to
sell ON a really full fair bid. Former rates,
however, are suSt 4ined on attractive lots and
the offerings prove rather moderate. Java re-
mains about the best sustained of any grade
with some lot held above current BIDS. We
learn Of 1910 mats Padang per -"klngdom
of Fife"
Sugars.-On the market for raw sugars we
ind holders EXPRESSING continued confidence
and making light offerings Of stock, some
having Withdrawn samples altogether for
the time being, owing in measure to reports
of unfaVOrablo adviceS from Cuba indicating
still greater shortage on crop. Indeed there
was an inclination to assume quite buoyant
tone this afternoon, and 71&@7s4c for fair 10
good refining had become asking rates in
many instances, though we could obtain no
satisfaction in the way of positive sales 10 war
rant us in adopting the figures established.
Demand has been good, more than ofisetting
the arrivals 1t Is likely, hut with brokers in
the nothing To report" humor u complete
record of transactions can not be obtained.
We, however, hear of $50 hhds muscOvadO at
nc; 400 hhds centrifugalS and 500 hhds vari-
Gus on private terms, and 1876 bags Manila
KeGned were quick and the market stron..
all around, with a pretty general advance
made on values The stocks are understood TO
be closed out in nearly every instance ana
