auer, chairman, J. w. Falls aud J. +. Jeilcr-
son.
As 10 tho grocery trade the New York Com
mrncli Bnii,fil. OF latest date, says; Coffee
has sold very we'll on natural aud legitimate
trade dcmand, through which considerable
amounts have gone 10 the country. Mo-
laNics on trade qualities was steady, aud boil
INK stock sold well enough as soon as a frac-
iional shading was allowed, While syrups
ruled generally sicady. Rice has sold we'll at
full prices teas have become more closely
concentrated and nrmcr ia tone, aud while
spices were less active they ruled firmly at
the late advance. Sugars did not sell very
freely, but rcGnora were quiotly much more
deeply interested aud making full bids on

The New York Metal exchange was the
sccncc Of Wild excitement today News oi a
sudden drop In the foreign markets was re-
ceiycd early ON the exchange here. Tho do
cline In tin YVES equivalent 10 $40 per ton.
II was evident that many spectators nj

II was necessary 10 have breathing spell
Those who were on the verge Of failure wor
afforded opportunity TO make arrangement

Much anxiety exists a. 10 what will bo ia

ing late this afternoon 10 decide upon som

Of wheat we're heavy; Of corn and oats light,
aud provisions moderate. The regular car
riors and the trade generally got the wheat.
Tbs trading in wheat was not 30 spirited as

fall back on were higher English markets,
the report OF Il big decrease in Liverpool
stocks and the good export cloarings from
the scaboard. There was no outside business
To speak Of Abundant rains cast Of the
Rocky mountains are reported and many
believe the damage 90 the crop in California
is overcstmated. June wheat opened at

lighter and prices 10c higher, There was
little lard offered early and free bidding by
one Of the largest holders advanced prices

The tone OF local securities was hrmcr to-
day, although the only sale made was one
share of the Memphis q Charleston railroad
stock at i5c The local cotton market closed
very firm, with sales i,7o0 bales. AT New
Orleans spots closed quiet, middling and
good middling advanced l-lGc, with futures
steady AZ an advance Of 10 o points. The
Liverpool market closed good AZ hardening
prices with futures quiet at an advance OF /
10 3 points. The Now York marke. closed
firm and up llGc, with futures up 10 8
points, closing steady.
Hubbard, Price & Co. say Our cotton
market showed renewed animation aud dur
Ing the afternoon some little buoyanoy for
certificates. Tho strength was most decided
ON the near months. Although Liverpool
opened with partial advance Of p Cad on
arrivals these reports did not seem TO offer
any particular sumulant, and our market
was rather tame with sellers nj last nights
prices. Under new efforts on the part OF
bears 10 dcpress values prices lost points
on the old crop but the decline was quickly
arrested by free buying orders on the part OF
leading operator, who forced the market
back 10 opening prices. Assisted by n con-
;inucd good demand for spots the bears were
evidently laboring under great deal OF ner
yousncss, and covering again became the
order Of the day. Under such demand prizes
advanced "a points for the summer month";
from the lowest and some stop orders were
reached, which gave AN additional cause fol
raising values. A small reaction of ? point
leaves as yet a gain 81 TO points on the
old and about points on the new crop since
Yesterday
