GENERAL REEARKs.-The past week was quite
a dull one in the general market Interior
buyers we're very much discouraged by the
heavy decline in the heecy staple, and besides
this. as is usual during the end Of a month.
there was a decided falling of in the volume
Of orders. Toe wes Their has been mild
and unprecedeutedly fine, and this
has caused planters in the country
10 turn their attention to picking
and ginning cotton. Consequently there ha,
been very little trading in the interior, and as
q natural result, the jobbing trade Of our mar
ket has displayed little or no animation. al
though its main features were without change.
Country merchants are pretty well stocked up,
and as there has been no cool weather to en-
liven the demand. it has been difficult to work
Off seasOnabie goods.
The dry goods market was comparatively
quiet and rather unsatisfactory. There was
some little business doing in groceries. etc. but
without much life visible it being evident
that the bulk Of the movements have been
forced. In other lines, business was only in
moderate proportions. In fact, our market at
the present time is feeling the
effects Of the early run on seasonable
goods, so that the attention of buyers has been
only given to very small selections, which are
only OF a hend-to-mouth character. Such
changes in prices Of merchandise that have
taken place have been toward lower figures,
and the leading articles OF bacon, coffee, corn,
lard, potatoes, sugars and syrups show heavy
declines.
