ing season is about at It's close except
among a few ofthe richer plantations
in the valleys where the long summer
drOuth was least felt, and ten days
hence every lock Of cotton will be
gathered. A leading feature Of the
week in the Northwest was the %activi.
ty in the iron market with higher prices
at some points. Business in pork pack
ing, with prices at Cincinnati, on foot,
ruling at IS to Sc 40 per cwt; and
slightly lower figures for bread and
feedstuffs despite the fact that it is
known, the corn crop is even lighter
than had previously been expected. In
Southern and seacoast markets coffee
rules dull and depressed with no
change Of prices in two weeks. Sugar
has declined 90 to lie per pound du-
ring the past two weeks and molasseS
is loo to l2o per gallon lower. At
Boston 6rmness and activity is an
nounced in hides, and 32,113 cases of
