NEW York, August 4th.-The following i;
the report of the condition of the marks,
here for the week ending to-day: General
business for the past week has been moder.
ately active, the number of Southern and
Western buyers in the market being larger
than usual at this period of the year. In dry
goods, domestics are in good demand at pre-.
vailing low prices, and large amounts have
been moved on account of previous orders
A good miscellaneous dry goods trade ia being
done. though buyers are still cautious and
prudent In purchases, but more freedom il
observable as the season goes on. Large
cash purchases are made where inducements
are offered. In grain, after rapid decline

In values which were materially different
from those of week ago. The July corner
in oats was settled up without any material
difficulty or any embarrassment to the par
ties concerned, as far as we have been able to
discover. August deliveries opened quite

those of week ago. Pork has shown
strength, without any material advance in
values, and the huctuation has been slight.
The cotton market has been dull and rather
unsatisfactory. The volume Of business has
been quite moderate, and there appears to be
but few outside operators. There are ipdi-
cations of possible corner in August
cotton, and prices on this description
have advanced something like % points dur.
ing the past week. Petroleum has been
somewhat irregular, though fluctuations
have not been wide, the market having been
influenced by reports of the increased or de-
creased flow of certain wells. Freights have
been better on account Of lack of vessels.
There has been another decline within few
days, on account of the increase in grain
Other descriptions Of freight are not mo-
terislly changed There is little change in
The receipts of both butter and cheese have
been liberal, but prices were maintained in
the last day or two. There has been some
scarcity in the finer mRkesof creamy butter, but
Door grades seem steadily to scclmul Ste here.
Bar iron has bsen dull, bat strong. It is
thought that the strike is nearing It's end,
though no sign has been given on the part of
men as yet. The supply of American pig
steel is fully equal to the demand. Foreign
pig iron is in slight demand and prices are I'M
changed. The business in boots and shoes is
fairly active, and there are some buyers from
the South and West already in the MR.
ket. The ioobi3g trade, as yet, is light. A
good sorting up is doing. There il a better
feeling in the leather trade, and most kinds
are In good request at strong prices, though
the business doing is on small margin Of
profit. 1t is ssid that there is very moder.
ate demand for raw sugar, though prices rule
on the basis of u cents for air refining. Re-
lined sugars are quiet, with prices a shade
easier. The tea market, outside of the auc-
tions, is very quiet, and, up till yesterday,
did not indicate much change from previous
figures. Four thousand four hundred
chests were sold OF Brazil grades OF coffee,
and rather more in demand at firm prices on
the basis of 81 cents for fair cargoes. Mild
are in better demand.
