( General Remarks.—Business in the general market was interfered with considerably by the holiday on Wednesday in memory of Jefferson Paris, and by the strike which is now in progress among the cotton stevedores Trade, however, with the wholesale jobbers was fairly active, and a considerable quantity of goods has moved off into consumptive channels < wders from the interior have come to hand quite liberally, while there were a number or spot buyers looking over the market. Their operations were mostly confined to replenishing certain lines of stocks and to holiday goody. Some wholesale dealers complain of a falling off in the movement compared with last season, while there are others claiming heavier sales, especially in the goods peculiar to this time of the year. Collections have fallen off somewhat, and are not up, or in as good volume, as they were a couple of weens ago. The money market is fairly easy, but the demand is remarkably good. Domestic ex change is weak, and rates to some extent are nominal, while foreign is firm. There was a dull and inactive market for securities. There were few changes in prices, and the general tendency of values was to ward a lower basis in pretty much all lines. In groceries a good movement was had in both the staple as weil as holiday goods. In dry goods there was only moderate trade progressing. In lumber there is a con tinued active demand with a heavy movement, while the mills are filled up with orders, and are refusing late orders for the holidays. The hardware trade is fairly active and there is a heavy,trade doing for this time. In all other departments a steady business is going on. The following resume of the week's business will show the tone and the latest closing quota tions of the different markets to-day: Naval Stores.—The market for spirits tur pentine was steady for the first half of the week with some little inquiry, but in the last part it relapsed into quietness, and prices fell off J%c. at the close. The current course of prices was somewhat irregular, selling up to 42%c. for regulars and again sagging off, closing to-day at 42c. The total sales for the week were about 1,200 casks. Rosin—The market was rather easy aud unsettled. The medium grades declined 2%c„ while strained to good strained fell off 12%c. There was a moderate demand, with stocks offering freely. The | total sales for the week were about 10,000 bar rels. In another column will be found a weekly comparative statement of the receipts and exports from the beginning of the season to date, and for the same time last, rear, showing the stocks on band and shipboard not cleared, together with the official closing quotations. Cotton.—The market for the past week was somewhat dull, influenced, no doubt, by the present strike of the longshoremen. Factors have been pretty firm holders until to-day,when some sales were made at l-16e. below quota! ions for ibe belter grades. The stock in first hands has accumulated slightly, owing to the small takings for the week, but as a rule it Inis been fairly well in band. The mar let closed to-day dull, but’prices are not quota l>ly lower. The total sales for the week were [ only 4,125 bales.

The stock market has continued to show a steadily decreasing volume of business, and to day’s record, especially for stocks of the regular list, was smaller than anything seen in mouths. The unlisted department was more active in the aggregate, but the increase, esp-clally in Sugar Refineries, which were heavily traded In every day this week, with the exception of Tuesday. The stock seemed to touch bottom to-day at 55%, when large buying orders came in. and a substantial raily of over 4 per cent. was made, though all of the improvement was not retained at the close. Buying seemed for the most part to be covering, but there were heavy orders executed for Bostou account, and large blocks of borrowed stock were returned to-day, indicating that covering yesterday was material. Outside buying stimulated invest ment by room traders on the long side, and the reaction was due more to realizing of this ele ment than anything else. Chicago Gas was de pressed at first on unfavorable reports, but rallied. A publication, claimed lo no official, that Missouri Pacific had failed to earn even fixed charges for the year ending June 30 last by something less than SIOO,OOO, had some small influence on that stock, and it closed % per cent, lower than lost eieniDg. Lackawanna was again strong to-day. The report that the deal in Tennessee Coal was over for the present resulted in some selling of that stock, and it yielded 2 per cent., but recovered 1 percent. The most important movements, however,were in Memphis and Charleston, which spurted up 5 per cent on a decision of the supreme court of Alabama prohibiting East Tennessee from voting the majority of the Memphis and Charleston stock which It holds, and thus throw ing the control of the company to the minority stockholdei-s. The general list was quiet to dull throughout. The market closed dull and steady at close to opening figures. Sales of stocks aggregated 121,000 shares.
