of the city the first half of SEPTEMBER has been
an exceedingly active time, and merchants are
encouraged by convincing evidences that the
liberal orders of their customers are based on
surety of early cash returns. In dry goods
prices are as a rule steady without pros
pect of change. In groceries there are nu-
m-rous changes of prices, mostly to be expect
ed at this season when stocks are changing
