dlsion OF trade here for the week

VISION and cotton markets are weak and
oemofalIzed, the stock market is active
ana ouoyant. Exchanges srs large and
'he general trade satisfactory. Tue dry

factory snd there Is g large legitimate
business doing, although buyers still con-
Ilnue their careful conservative policy
In commission houses business is reported
good, snd there has b5en large deliveries
OF merchandise on previous orders,
Which has served 10 obVIate the absence
OF large number Of Hebrew buyers on
account Of the holidays. The demand
for domestic goods is steady, and stocks
ere getting rapidly reduced. Dress
goods are in good demand, and for many
leading kinds the supply is no: up to the
requirement.. A fair amount Of business
ls doing IN woods, and q moderate trade
Ia heavy goods. In wheat, values are
stIll somewhat unsettled. Cash whea
| shows some advance, with 3 fair de-
| mand by expOr q, while the speculation
IN futures lie Of rather 8 beEitating char
scter. and there IS brisk movement in
com options, with wide fluctuations,
Septem Der delivery aud cash showing a
strong relation TO the general market.
Inere Is q pressure TO sell oats with con-
sequent lower prices. The whole grain
market ls II an uncertain condition, with
prices evidently bent 1oWuWsrds. The
provision market closes bearish, with
prices forced down even lower than they
were at the beginning Of the week, with
signs OF further depression in the readi-
ness with which operators are getting rid
or stocks. Lard went lower on receipt
OF unfavorable advices from the west,
but towards the close of the day there
Was some recovery, but the market closed
weaker and lower than any time previous
during the week, In cotton at the close,
the speculative market was only fairly
active, with prices ten points lower than
the previous day; but showing some re-

petroleum market, aud prices on Thurs-
Day showed an advance of TO 4; fuc-
tlBtions were quite rapid and wide, but
the market closes firm at an advance.

materially changed. There is some de-
nsnd for grain tonnage at firm rates,
but business is so dull that concessions
would be made if demanded.
In butter the receipts are not large.

to 30. Prices are pretty firm on moder-
ate export demand, and q slight i'm
provemeEt In prices. The receipt Of
cheese is large and the market very full,
with few transactions, reporters keep
ing alOof, and holders Of cheese are
inclined to retain their best goods
and give the market poorer qualities.
The oll market is somewhat dull, with
Occasi onsl sales of conaiders bic parcels,
but buyers we're very careful not to ex-
coed probable wants. Prices are in
cliDed to be lower. The sugar market
shows no great change, Raw sugars are
IN slow demand, with finn prices.
Rio coffee in Wholesale wsy is dali, but
there has been a moderately active de-
msnd for jobbiOg parcels. Mid coffses
are dull with but little. A heavy business
IS doing IN boots aud shoes. The trade
continues good IN slI It's branches. Manu-.
tsctureTs complain somewhat Of higher
prices Of material ard Bn advance 10
most kinds of good is not unlikely. Or
ders from the country and from buyers
IN town are large, and collections i'm
proving. The leather trade is sstisfac-
tory and large in volume. Prices are
we'll maintained, In hardware there is
q fair amount Of business doing, and
prices are fFmer, with a steady
The demand for foreign hardware
is reported to be somewhat lighter
than usual. American pig iron is
quiet, though it is stated more bust

surface. The demand for sc0tch
pig is fair and some considerable
sales reported at firm prices. The
rail business is dull with little doing.
