SAVANNAH. April IS, 1854. !

has been unimportant, owing to the lack Of
orders. Trading has been confined TO small
parcels among local buyers, while prices
IN pretty much all lines have
been at a standstiu. There has been
quite a steady movement going on IN
groceries, provisions and grain, but in volume
was very light. In all other departments the
movement has been very dull, and
has about settled down to summer
basis There was a continued east
ness IN the money market. Money was
offered at very low rates. The security
market was rather quieter, with only a retail
demand for the leading stocks and bonds

tiuual sagging OF in quotations of Central
Railroad stock The conditions and prices Of
the different markets may be seen by refer
