While there is no general improvement in the
volume of business, the prevailing opinion
seems to be- that after the tariff question is
settled confidence will be restored and bet
ter demand for all kinds of merchandise will be
forthcoming. In few instances jobbers re-
port little more activity. Many lines of goods
have hardency tendency. and in some cases
higher prices prevail. Sugars, which have been
more active within day or TWO advanced this
afternoon 1sc, and still further rise is antci
pated soon. Pork has been the feature of the
week, and again we pnt uD our figures another
