upon the resolution introduced by him de-

Some improvement.

some improvement
New YORK, Al pril 1.-The week has been
an exceptional one in its religious and boli-
day aspects, which detracted somewhat from
favorable, yet trade generally continues 10
| manifest some improvement, and there is a
| noticeably confident feeling in the reports
| from various interests. The grain market
has been strong. Wheat huctuated within
the range OF TO 2 cents per bushel, and at
the close was fairly firm at the advance.
Corn tended steadily upward, and the mar
ket closed firm at the highest rates attained
this season. In provisions, lard and pork
have been very firm and fluctuations slight,
with slight decline al the close. The cot
ton market continued steady until day or
two ago, when there was something of an
advance, and indications at the close Of a
bull movement, with prices 20 points in ad-
vance of week ago. American pig-iron is
deprt ssed, and while the consumption is
sufficient to prevent the accumulation of
stock, there few buyers in the market
and little or no speculative feeling. Scotch
pig is also very dull and prices inclined
to be lower. There is little doing in either
steel or iron rails. The boot and shoe trade
is active. Advices from the country are
cheerful, and the outlook for business is
generally satisfactory. Reports from the
dry-gOods trade is mostly satisfactory, and,
Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather,
quite heavy movement OF merchandise has
taken place since April set in. Buyers here
in large numbers, ard purchasing more
freely. There is somewhat better dem and
for Brazil grades OF coffee and prices steadier
Miller grades are more inquired for, but hold
ers are not inclined hms Ike concessions. Sugar
steady and firm. There are no important
changes to note IN the tea market
