WEEKLY REPORT.
<,r,A4 REMARKs.-Buslness during the
&c week was pretty generally active in all
Por,nents, But the trading was soostly on

Sarce. The movement ID volrSne was
- Ior0e Int the bulk of it Gs1s confined to
qaoories and provisions. The receipts OF
go, are beginning TO show up we'll and
ot,os are stfffening. This has tended to stimu-

1yhich is attributed to the backwardness OF

,.bich IT is thought is not due to any real
ecarcity with the banks, but to an effort on
4hoir nsrt to return to the old rates, at which
.,me II ia believed. it will again become
-Iortiful. The security market was quiet
and Central railroad stock easier and de-
lined slightly. The following resume OF the
markets will show their condition and latest
ouotations at the closing hour to-day;
NAVAL. SFoREs.-There was quiet feeling
prevailing in the spirits turpentine market
during last week. Buyers and sellers were at
times more or less apart. There was good
inoulry, but the prices asked by factors were
in most cases refused, though the week closes
with pretty fair aggregate of business. Inc
total sales for the week were fully Z,OUo OAR

though, IN small lots. and in the aggregate only
a light business resulted. The total sales for

nominal. The stock OF old rice is pretty
nearly exhausted, but the supply is equal TO
the demand. which has been quite light.

CoTToN.-There was a pretty fair demand
during the week with free offerings. Hold
ers, however, were very firm in maintaining
the current quotations, and IN some IN
stances even higher prices were paid. A
strong undertone has pervaded, the market,
no doubt, influenced by the ltghtness of re-
ceipts as compared with last year, and
the clean quality OF the cotton offering.
The report of the Agricultural Bureau for
last month is out and the returns from the
growing crop are not so favorable. which has
stiGened up controlling markets somewhat.
At the close of the market prices exhibited a
clear advance OF NC. for the week. The total
sales foot up 1850 bales The following are
