t.kst according to the generally conceived
=. NJ the situation among jobbers, was dun
hnt little interest was disclosed IN the weeks
.Ii1r so far as outward appearances go. Still
vas good deal OF quiet buying going on
s,cb has been steady and this becomes more
aren't as the clearing house returns show up
y tsyorably for this period of the year Job
of course, report orders as light but in the
--ragate show pretty fair volume OF goods
Pin out; this. of course, in part is accounted
=. nv its being the early part of the II onth
Sss,a is very little new business being placed,
a f. is thought that there is slim chance for
-.D.oved conditions in the near future, from
y TACT that the cotton trade is still in an IN
lain. as we'll as unsatisfactory, position ow-
% IN the mill operatives difficulty abroad and
-sch appears to be no nearer solution than it
sat its inception. There is a continuance Of
& ns heavy demand tor money previously noted.
rrcbapge is quite firm, while foreign is barely
',.,dy at the decline. Collections are slow. In
#r-oceries and provisions there was good move

& Drayious week In dry goods while there was a
N.tsadv trade doing. still it shows gradual

EHsriware was more quiet with less doing
Khan for several weeks back. In other de-
Garments the situation remains about as here
tofore with no features of moment. The fol-
loving resume Of the weeks business will show

ent markets at the closing hour to-day:
4 NAVAL SroREs-The receipts of spirits turpen-
Stine are light AMI although the market is quiet
offerings are generally held higher and prices
D. the close to-day show an advance Of 114c
'er last week. There Is a very light demand
ID buyers continue to absorb stock only on
ABSOLUTE requirements from day to day.
.The total sales for the week were
probably some l,500 casks. Rosln-
6ue situation has been quite firm although with
BONE irregularity in prices, and the lower
Trades show some advance. There has been q
Food steady inquiry for strained to good
GRAINED and the medium grades, which has
contributed to maintain values in all other
sacksning and the most desirable grades are
scarc-r. The sales for the week were about
j 4 900 barrels In another column will be found
weekly table of receipts and expor, s as COM
pared with a ike period last year, showing the
STOCK on hand and on shipboard not cleared, TO-
gether with the official closing quotations.
CoTToN-The market has continued to display
considerable steadiness under a very slow de-
mand. In the first part OF the week an advance
of sc was recorded, influenced by the advance
taken on at Liverpool. There sre no accumu-
atons of stock, however, and the takings daily,
although light, have kept the
offerings we'll within bounds, so

still show nothing very encourag ng, and the
small business at Liverpool seems to afford but
little satisfaction to the primary mar
kets The total sales for the week were
9 $50 bales The following are the official clos
ing spot quotations of the Cotton Exchange:
