! This being the last day of the month, people

active in retail lines. Tomorrow being 'reck-
oning up'' daV for the month just closed. bust

The general markets are In fair condition. all
! demands being supplied in all country products

| stock of fine bananas, which have been out OF
the market for the past week or ten days, is now
in the market, while other frnits are in good
supply. here are nc. especial changes to note
in quotations. everything steady at figures given.
The Dry Goous Economist, New York, says OF
the trade, condition, outlook, etc.: The vol
ume of business completed has been large, but
it has resulted chiefly from deliveries on former
purchases. Many orders have been received
from the markets of the country for small as
sentiments to be shipped Immediately. but such
wants have been largely for staple fabrics. In
all departments of the trade the demand has
been slow, for which reason the status of the
market will be understood when characterized
as between ''hay and grass Many buyers are
resting near the market, or if they have been
present, that tact was not made known by pur-
chases. Delay in tariff legislation has operated
TO the advantage of sellers. The anxiety of i'm
porters to the outcome is not calculated to in
spire confidence that any substantial rise in
prices from increased rates OF duties Will be
seen.
Cotton has improved &c in the quotations for
middling uplands both here and in Europe, and
sales have been on . larger scale than for some
weeks.
Cotton goods have continued in large and
steady movement former contracts, but the
new demand has been for small quantities of a
duplicate character. The inquiry for seasonable
specialties was more quiet, though large pro-
duciion is under the control of buyers.
Wool has been in demand foc such quantities
have been necessary to meet current require
ments. Prices are nominally unchanged still
the tone of the market is unquestionably in
buyers favor.
Wooden goods have been in uneven demand.
The chief preference has been for lower and
finer qualities, and of the former considerable
business has been laid out. Still the placing of
orders has not been to the satisfaction of sellers
manufacturers.
The leceipts of cotton at all shipping ports for
the week ending to-day have been 400 bales,
compared with ISIS bales last week and 1909
bales the same week last year.
Total receipts at all the shipping ports since
September have been 3 ,749 02O bales, against
5,504 817 bales the same time last year, and
3, i9l, 1877 bales in 1883.
The stocks at all shipping ports amount to
SO, 900 bales. against 134, 900 bales for the
date last year.
The total exports to Europe from September
to July IS amounted to 4 S32 AIS bales, com pared
with 4, 662, 062 bales for the same time in 1889.
The total cotton that had come in sight from
September / to July Is amounted to 7,2H, ZIG
bales compared with 6,s45, O2O bales the same
time last year
The visible supply of cotton in sight July IS
was reported as l20, 900 bales more than at the
same time last year. yet 1t is believed that this
excess would be reduced to deficit if the
European consumption was placed at the actual
figures.
