dry goods trade is particularly active ju-i
Row, and the fall season may be said t.
be in full force, as is evinced by large
number Of buyers in the city from al
parts of the country. There Is very
wide distribution "a seesonsble goods
both foreign and domestic, and it is
thought the seasons business will be the
most satisfactory known for many YEAR.

shade lower; some large option sales are
reported. Pork is dull, closing weak at
prices a shade lower. Speculations
are slight, and operators seem dis
inclined to take hold at present.
Lard has declined from 215 to 5 cents,
and closed steady at reduction. There

+ as advanced and shows q gain of
least cents on the price prevailing few
days ago; 81 to 80 cents is obtsinsble for
fine creamery. Prospects are considered
good for still further advance. In cheese
there is little change to note IF I'M week

cents for the finest qualities, and though
shippers are operating pretty freely the

The cotton market is still very dull; sales

restricted movement. In petroleum there
has been moderately active movement

easier. Refiners generally, however, sre

port demand is mOdersts. In freights
there Is less inquiry for grain room and

been moderate for the last few
days. the full buying Of previous
Gays having satisfied pressing wants.
Prices are strong at about nc. for fine
refining. Refined sugars are held firmly,
with fair average demand. Rio coffee
is little lower on unfsVerable GdvIces
from Brazil. Few or no sales are re-
ported from first. bands, but there is q
fair demand for Immediate consumption
from jobbers. Mild cotfees are in mod
rate demand at very steady prices. In
tea the market is steady. Movement is
noted in most descriptions, and prices
are firm and unchanged. In hardware

and the tone Of the market is strong.
American pig iron is quiet, but prices
still remain firm, and there is no sign of

cient to absorb the output. Business In
Scotch pig is not heavy and mostly in
small lots, but such sales as are reported
are at full figures. There is considerable
inquiry for steel rails and some large
contracts are pending. Iron rails are
dull, without quotations. Nothing Is
doing in old rails. In boots and shoes
there is a good trade in all lines, and the
jObbing trade think they will have a

Prices are higher. Collections are little
Glow, but next month will see an i'm
provement in this respect. Manufactur-
ers report an increasing trade and are
briskly occupied. Prices Of hides are
high, which limits sales to the amount OF
immediate pressing wants.
