There are again some complaints from

s..ss,v. as also in provisions. In dry goois

inter goods for future delivery. In hardware
.hsre was a light trade in progress. The
5eroand for lumber and building materials
= steadily falling off, and outside
os.be little local business a very small trade
ras doing. Values have been somewhat I'M
steady in the leading staples. Provisions were
,ouer. nails are easier, sugars are higher and
s+sadilv advancing. Flour and grain are also
LAYER. Collections are not up to the marx, due
IN a measure to the existing state of affairs in
the lumber region, and the difficulty of getting
+bs stuff to market, owing to the insufficency

continues in good shape. The security market

eitber from investors or speculation. The fol-
lowing resume of the weeks business will show
the tone of the latest quotations Of the differ
ont markets at the close to-day:
NAVAL SroREs--The market for spirits turpen-
tine was quiet during the past week and com
raratively steady. There was some disposition

lions but the receipts increasing rather weak
eDed holders, and toward the close they were
free sellers at unchanged prices. There was
fairly good demand, and about
a50O barrels changed hands during
lie week. Rosin--The market was somewhat
irregular The extreme pale grades were in
good request, at higher range of values, while
strained to good strained were dull and neg
lected, closing today at full decline of 716c
although in the early part Of the week buyers
we're compelled to pay higher prices for the
commoner sorts in order to Obtain the finer
qualities. The sales for the week were about
L. 900 barrels. In another column will be found

CoTToN.-The market has been comparatively
quiet and steady during the week. The offer
iugs were very light and OF quite poor assort-
ment, while the demand. to some extent. was
rather slow and Indifferent. The receipts at the
ports and interior are still on the decrease, and
the statistical position IS pretty fair.
although the supply in sight has
increased and the reports from the East Indian
aud Egyptian crops are encouraging, and indi-
cate considerable increase over estimates.
This, along with the almost uniformly good re-
ports from the growing crop, serves to rather
weaken controlling markets, and values in con-
sequence are not so stiff as they were. Prices
for spots are off &c. since last report. The total
sales for the week were only l56 bales. The
following are the official spot quotations of the
cotton exchange:
