-oo5s In groceries trade was rather more
notiva this week than last, and a good business
vas had. The same might be said of provis-
ions In dry-goods there is very little doing,
and iobbers report matters quiet. There was

,-oor Interior merchants are all pretty well
SStocked TD For hardware the demand was
considerably improved, and the movement
fairly brisk The sales or ouliolng materials
continua large The demand for lumber is
otoo ewcallent In all other de partments there
ore evidences Of business Frightening up as the
fall season advances and some increased ACTIVITY
ia noticeable. On the whole there Is quite
satisfactory feeling at the outlook, and the
und-rt0ue all around is strong. In the security
n arket the feature was the demand for Cen
tral railroad stock by investors and the hrmness
of boilers. Collections were fair; The money
market IA vary easy. Values for the most part
were steady except in some Of the lea ing
stsnes The following resume Of the week
business will show the tone and the latest CLOS
ing quotations of the different markets to-day.
EIvAL SToREs.-The market for spirits tur-
rentjne was duh and irregular, though weak
for the first half of the week, when prices sold
down to 44c. for regulars, but later on they
rallied again. and the market closed to-day very
Am with sales at 441ac. There was a slow and
Indifferent demand, although buyers managed
10 absorb a good deal of stock on the slump
in values The total sales for the
week were about 1000 casks. Rosin.-The
market has been quite firm throughout the
week, and prices were relatively dearer for
strained to good strained and the extreme pale
grades Taere was good demand with
oay moderate offerings; The total sales
for the week were about 10000 barrels.
In another column will be found COM
parative table of receipts and exports from
April to date, and for the same time last year,
slowing the stock on hand and on shipboard not
cleared, together with the official closing quota
TONS
CoTToN-Here as well as at other CONTROL
ing points in the south, the drift was to lower
range of values, the receipts and offerings
gaining perceptibly on the demand, which, in
most instances, was moderate, owing to the
time for September shipments having about
closed. and all business being directed for cto-
berclearances. Buyers were in no hurry to obtain
stocks, so that they had matters pretty much
hair h~lA an.
being compelled to make considerable conces-
siOns, the market closing to-day with sales at
fully l-16c less than the quoted prices. The
decline for the week was Ac all around. The
total sales foot up IL, 400 bales. The following
are the official closing spot quotations of the
Cotton Exchange:

Sea Isldnds.-The receipts for the week up to
4o'clock p m, as reported by factors were 15a
bags, while the sales were 1856 bags. The ex
ports were lU1 bags. of which 81 bags were to
Liverpool and &c to domestic mills. The market
is still in very unsatisfactory condition and
precludeS any positive quoting of prices, for
the reason that there has been a regular
scramble for the first receipts of new crop for
samples or types for the mills, all of last years
types being discarded, and the above sales
were at such fancy prices that to quote them
as basis tor regular business would be mis-
leading. The following quotations, it is be-
neved, Will probably approximate the opening
prices for regular trades, but as yet may be
regarded as nominal:

hlcE.-Ihe market during the past week was
hoC remarkably brisk, although all offerings OF
ciean were about absorbed. OF course as the
season advances and receipts Increase. the
tendency OF values is lower and in some trans
ac.lons 1he price paid was even lower than the
current quotations; this was particularly the
case IN few parcels of the best qualities The
eeeecelpts thus far this season approximate
oG,OUV bushels of rough, of which
a a,,f 1900 bushels have been milled
out. Inc quality of the grain is
excellent, and buyers find it difficult to split
mars on grades. The total sales for the weeb
were about 300 barrels. o0'
