GENERAL Reconsideration have not
hanged very materially in the general market
airing the past week. The continuous heat
and the rains were I'm I vorable TO business. but
q was not interfered with to any great extent.
1obbers report very fair complement of or.
ders by mail from travellers and a fair
trade was reached. There were also
a number of interior buyers on
the spot looking over the market, but their
onerations are restricted as yet and confined to
actual requirements. The movement i'll gen
sral merchandise is slower than it was at this
time last year, due of course to the extreme
cautiousness manifested all around and the
slowness in the cotton movement. The outlook
does not improve much as the season advances,
while collections are still unsatisfactory The
money market still continues close. Exchange
is weak. The security market is stagnant.
The freight market continues quiet, with
plenty of tonnage to arrive offering. but with
slow movement of outward cargoes and rates
are easy except to spot vessels for naval
stores There was good demand in the
Wholesale grocery trade, with more liberal
movement. In dry goods the market was
ouiet but the actual business was fair The
hardware trade was good, but ap-
parently is not as heavy as last season. The
rest of the market shows but little life Values
as a rule were stronger in provisions and bread
stuffs. which in other lines they were to some
extent easier. The following resume of the
weeks business will show the tone and the
latest closing quotations of the different markets
today.
