.,,....a4r. RENARKs.-Very little interest
.os been manifested in the general market
n~ sr;ng the past week, and quite duh feel
"u, '-- nreyailed. Buyers are only urchasing
.oh Quantities RS current wants may re-
lire. and rarely do they exceed jobbing
Its even if they do come from sections of
.he interior which usually at this period
:, the wear lay i'll full stock.
Tbe movement OF merchandise, therefore,
=. a whole, was small, and was confined
nrinc,pally to grain, provisions and groceries.
Tbe feeling in the general market, however,
rasmuch better, and a stronger tone existed
- most all the staple articles, though there
,,are with but few exceptions no changes in
vaIues. The most notable was the heavy ad-
ronce in coffees, and also oils. Georgia and
vlorida syrups were scarcer, which had
otrepgthened prices and they were advanced
o. Sugars continued weak in
synpathy with Northern markets,
mt were not quotably lower. There was an
unsettled outlook IN commercial affairs. The
money market continues unchanged and the
seclrity market very quiet. The changes in
nr,ees of the different commodities that have
occurred during last week along with the
