WEEKLY REPORT
crxrnAl REMARKS. The general market
.'.ut,ct : ire slight improvement over The
o. week. There was only y small rep
- ..,liop of spot buyers. The mail orders,
,..,,r. we're slightly better as compared
~ .o,er,I weeks back. The proportions of
Wars from travellers show care
SI consideration on the part
Ia Nh. cbas, rs, and are limited
O,.,,tly to prompt or early requirements. A
s.r,rent policy cannot reasonably be eX-
t,i in view of the recent rains in the in
for.nd the latenees of the cotton crop.
Adyices. however, from the country are quite
Iororahle. aud indicate an active trade in
,,.,s,oct for the coming month. The
.ds are all in pretty fair CONDITION
a., fine crops are getting on pretty well,
enough the average shows slight percentage
t,o,,v last year. The most activity was
,,ts,tIe in the dry goods trade, and the move
.rart was quite large and fully up to that
- tho pre vioHs year. In groceries. the de-
.,,acd continues fairly steady, with good
sbinning movement throughout the week.
r. otner departments the improvement
d very slow. There were but
1.w nrice changes, and those that have
occurred were generally in buyers favor.
Conections are still on moderate scale,
tbonch in better volume than for some time
previously. The money market retains about
tbe same old features as before noted. The
security market was quite active for pretty
,nncb the whole list, but the greatest activity
wos in Central railroad stock, which was
somewhat excited and advanced quite lively,
large blocks being taken readily at the ad-
vsncing figures. The following review will
show the tone and latest quotations of the
different markets at the close:
NAVAL STORES.-The market for spirits tur-
nentine was rather irregular and unsettled
during the week, opening with holders firm
at 92Hc, for regulars, but buyers held off and
nrces declined to 311Ic. from 3l1ac. for regu-
lars. at which figures considerable stock
changed hands, but towards the close it stiff
ened up a little. prices advancing &c, the
market closing quiet at SIC. asked ior
regulars. The sales for the week were fully
$500 casks. Rosln, the market was quiet dur
I'M the week, with prices somewhat lrregu-
lar though for the most part nrm. Ihere
was fair demand; the sales for The week
were alb ut 1900 barrels. Elsewhere will be
found a weekly comparative statement OF re-
ceipts and exports from April 10 date, and
W.
stocks on hand and on shipboard. not cleared,
together with the official closing spot quota
tons.
RICE-,The market during last week was
without any special animation ana IL ID m ~
" in small lots that stocks are moving u Tue
moment There is good demand for prime
article, which is quite scarce, and there ls nc
doubt much better prices could be Obtained on
anv such Offering, but pretty much all the
stock now on the market is mOwburnt and OF
an inferior quality. The sales for the week
were about 700 barrels on the basis of ouI
quotations:

CoTToN.-The market remains very dull
and to a great extent nominal. There - no
much demand from any quarter. There Is s
very small stock Offering. with but little
choice in the assortment. The report OF TIT
Agricultural Bureau shows slight decrease
in the average. which increased the frmness o
holder. and the general tendency was towards
better hgure-, land fractionally higher range
ha- been reached on actual sales. But there
we're very few buyers and the business for
the week was merely nominal one. The to-
tal sales were only 30 bales. The fOllowinl
are the official spot quotations OF the Cotton
Exchange:
