GENERAL RElGARks.-The past weeks bust
ness did not show as much Improvement as
was anticipated, owing, in the main, to a very
tight money market ana the inclement weather
which prevailed for few days. The latter
cause restricted operations in almost all the
leading departments Of trade, and movements
show a slight falling of in the aggregate from
that OF the previous week. Still, the feeling
was quite satisfactory. Taking it all in ALL
about an average business was done In the
principal staples. while values have been very
firm and full rates were obtained.
The security market was without animation
partaking Of the gloom OF the weather and
tight money. Central stock shows a decline Of
a few points, under no pressure to sell on the
part OF holders There is q prospect Of an
easing up Of the money market during the
coming week. Foreign exchange is somewhat
better, and the decline Of the week previous
has been fully recovered.
Tn the dry goods jobbing trade there was
little doing, transactions being confined to a
few orders from the interior. Values are
frmer.
There was an active business in the whole
SAFE ElIlagAg AAaAAE VIII a EoOu HQEllDk utluhuu
throughout the week, and operations were
quite large. In fact this department has really
shown more activity than any other, and
prices have ruled steady and been well sus-
tanned. Flour was very firm but not quotsbly
higher, although prices advanced fully 1Oc to
15c. IN the West. The meat market is strong,
with grest scarcity, the market being quite
bare Of stocks. and prices rule much higher in
consequence.
In all the other departments there was fair
business done on orders, with but few buyers
in the market. Values have, as a rule. been
comparatively steady and without any import
ant changes.
NAVAL SToREs.-The market for resins was
firm and higher for nearly all grades. There
was but little activity displayed. the tazings
being confined to actual wants. For the week
the sales were quite light, being only some
4,5oO barrels.
Spirits turpentine has fairly held its own
during the week, in COMPARISON with other
markets. There was a moderate demand the
sales being about 1000 casks. The market
closes with prices 21Sc. higher than since last
