as poor collections. and is very unsat-
isfsctory. as it Is not commensurate
with the volume Of trade now being done. In
dry goods there was far more extensive
business accomplished than for several
weeks. Prices continue quite steady and
unchanged. For groceries and provisions the
movement was quite animated the sales
being very large, and in the aggregate show
an increase never before attained. The
prices Of the staple goods continue
fairly steady, and as a rule quite low
notably IN sugar, the prices Of that article
being the lowest ever known in the history Of
the trade In other departments the general
demand Is apparently very active ana con
