WEEKLY REVIEW.


a fair business is doing, and that is peri ectly
satisfactory and the market is characterized
by hopeful feeling, based on satisfactory
reasons that the trade OF the year will be
satisfactory. With the exceptions of few
leading lines, which are rather irregular,
prices generally are firm, with perhaps
slight upward tendency. Rather less than the
usual number of buyers are in the market
this season and the stock of goods in manu-
facturers hands is reported to be rather
smaller than usual at this time of the year.
The trade throughout the country is gener-
ally regarded as having but limited
stocks. In dry goods trade dur
ing the past week shows some
Improvement over that Of the preceding one,
though it is still very quiet. The last few
days shows marked Improvement, as the
travelling men have resumed their trips and
their missionary efforts are beginning to tell.
The demand is confied principally to staples
and goods suitable for hot weather wear,
lawns, buntingS, mosquito nets and other
thin fabrics receiving the most attention
The demand for grain bags has also increased
noticeably and will steadily improve till after
harvest few advance orders for fall goods,
such as fannels, woolens, blankets, hosiery,
cts, have been taken, but this is not by any
means general, as merchants desire to act
conservatively till it can be deter
mined how the crops will turn
out. AdviceS from Eastern markets are to
the effect that the large export demand for
cottons, com biued with the legitimate home
demand, has completely exhausted the pro-
duets of the mills so that there is no accumu-
lation to meet the coming large inquiry to
supply the fall demand. Consequently it is
predicted, and generally recognized, that
there will be great scarcity of popular
makes Of goods and resulting firm market
throughout the season. Wooen goods are
very active and the early advance of from 16
to 12N per cent. in fannels, tricots
and wool dress fabrics is firmly
maintained with indications of further ad-
vances when the fall activity starts in. This
firmness is the result OF first, limited supply,
and second, the adviceS from the London wool
sales. which show an average increase of
from 10 to 25 per cent, in medium and low
grades Of wool. The drug market is active
and collections fair, while the volume of trade
is rapidly increasing. Window glass is scarce
and prices are growing firmer, as a large
number OF furnaces are out of blast. Two
thousand copies OF Noyes Bros. Cutters
great illustrated catalogue, $50 page book
has just been sent out. Linseed oil has de-
clined &C. Alcohol is also lower. Seneca is
dull, and ginseng about 10c lower. Quick
silver has advanced and is likely to go higher.
Quinine has also declined. Trade in hard
ware is active with satisfactory collections
Files have advanced, fence wire declined, and
keg shot advanced. In groceries there is
considerable activity, as usual, even during
the dullest season. RaisinS have declined.
Granulated and standard sugars have ad-
vanced 1sc. New York factory cheese has
advanced to 91ac, and Young America to 101ac
