News Office. Tuesday, December 0.—The past
week has been a fairly good one in the general
market. Business in the aggregate has been quite
equal to the preceding week, in fact in some lines
a slight improvement is noted. To the reverse of
what has been the case for weeks past, changes in
values have been numerous, but with the exception
of sugars, which are higher,the alterations have been
toward lower prices. Sugars appear to hold the
whip-handle in point cf activity, and this line may
be expreflred as fairly booming. The sales during
the week, while not so great as might be hoped for
at this season of the year, were nevertheless quite
large, surpasssing those of any week since the new
crop began to arrive. The receipts of
sugar comprise about 4000 barrels, and of mo-
lasses about 1200. Prices, in conformity with the
New Orleans market advanced on all grades
of Louisiana yesterday. Flour has been in very
fair detr and, both from City mills and western
millers' agents. The latter reduced values25©50c
per barrel, the latter on XXX, but prices from the
mill are unchanged. On Saturday bacon for long
and short clear was marked down J£c per pound
and remained unchanged until to-day, when
an additional reductkn of %c was made.
Dry salt meats are also lower J4©^jc
on bellies and long and short clear sides.
Lard is ^c lower at 7££c for refined tierce and 7%
©£Kc for cans in cases. In corn and oats a pretty
fair movement was noted during the week, but
with the exception of a reduction of lc per bushel
on the former, consignees' prices from track,values
were unaltered. In Western products trade is re-
ported quiet, but not more so than for several
weeks past. The receipts this week, fortunately for
dealers, were not excessive, but were still greater
than the demand. Northern potatoes and onions
have commenced to arrive, and are quoted at
$2 60(0 2 '6 for the former, and $2 75 for the latter.
Prices have suffered no change whatever. Lemons
on increased supply were marked down, to-day, 50o
per box, at $4 00@4 50 for Malaga and $4 50©5 00
for Mes8lni. This is a reduction of $1 per box
within the past ten days. In the drug line prices
were unchanged, and a fair trade
only is reported. Hardware is without change
as to volume of trade and values. In
the general grocery line, matters are sliding along
as usual, there being no material change either for
better or worse. Coffee continues quiet and un-
changed in prices. Since last week there have
been received 4000 sacks, ex bark Aalesund, from
Rio de Janeiro. The stook at present is about
12,000 sacks, which is ample for the demands. The
receipts of poultry and eggs have been fairly good
and have found ready purchasers at quotations.
Th cotton the position shows no material change
from yesterday. Private advices fr<»m New York
indicated that, after such a rapid advance, It would
be well for bulls to take in profits and wait for a
quieter market to buy again. Any serious decline
is i ot entertained by leadi • g houses at the moment.
It is the idea of many that the balance of the cot-
ton season will bo very speculative and extremely
sensitive, subject according to the pulse of fre-
quent jumps and frequent falls. It may be said,
however, that the feeling is generally bullish,
and higher prices are looked for in the
long run. Spot cotton at all the principal markets
was unchanged, Liverpool closin? dull in buyers'
favor, with sales of 8000 bales; New York dull,
w4th sales of 209 bales; New Orleans firtn, with
sales of 0500 bales, and Galveston steady,
showing sales of 2-193 bales. Futures at Liverpool
opened dull and closed quiet but steady, from 1 to
2-64d lower on May-June, June-July and July-
August, and at last prices on remainder of the list.
At New York futures opened steady, at se-
cond call were dull but steady, and
closed steady from 1 to 2 points lower
on March, April and September, 1 point
higher on July, August and December, and un-
changed on other mouths, with sales of 122,700
bales. The New Orleans market for futures at the
opening was steady, ruled steady and closed un-
changed in tone, from 1 to 4 points lower than last
closing, with sales of 40,000 bales. Afc the opening
futures in the local market were steady, and closed
steady, at last quotations on March and from 1 to 5
points better on remainder of the list. The sales
amounted to C2C0 bales, of which GOO were for Jan-
uary, 000 for February, 800 for March, 1200 for
April, 1400 for May, 800 for June, 200 for July, 400
for September and 200 for December.

New York, December 9.—The Baltimore and
Ohio's new $10,000,000 5 per cent loan will be of-
fered slightly above par.
Opdyke's failure was not visible on Wall street
to-day. *
The market is quiet but steady. Houston East
and West firsts, 102 asked. Sales—$3000 Santa Fes
at 113; $10,000 Texas-Pacific incomes at 37J^,
The si ver bill was unsuccessfully used to depress
governments. Sherman advocates 470 gr. in dol-
lars, which would pass everywhere, and drive
Spanish and Mexican out of Asia.
The St. Taul road stopped receiving grain at
Chicago, as the elevators are all full.
Sterling easier. Documents, $4.79J4 to $4.80. Ac-
ceptances, $4 80^.
Cotton less active—waiting bureau report to-
morrow afternoon. Considerable short sales were
recently made against actual cotton to arrive.
Spots neglected.
The Bulletin condemns the Spanish treaty, and
says a more unreciprocal piece of reciprocity was.
perhaps, never presented for the acceptance of
the government
Woolen goods quiet and irregular.

New York, December 9.—Governments firm.
Railways irregular. State securities dull. There
was very little interest to the stock market to day,
and business was light. In the early dealings there
was considerable irregularity, but as a rule lower
prices were recorded. The decline, however, was
unimportant,' ranging from % to % per cent.
Near midday a firmer tone prevailed,
and an advance of to IM per cent,
took place, New Jersey Central leaiing
in the upward movement. In the last hour of busi-
ness donand abated ahd prices receded % to % per
cent, and the market closed weak. Compared with
last night the closing prices are ^4 to VA per cent,
higher except for Canada Southern and St. Paul,
which are % to per cent, lower. Ohio and Missi-
ssippi advanced 1 to 19, Oregon Improvement 1 to
21. Transact ons, 187,GC0 shares.

Chicago, December 9.—Wheat—receipts, 1107
cars; shipments, 24,000 bushels. The market ruled
Ann during the entire session, and an advance was
recorded of % of a cont from the opening, not-
withstanding the increase in the visible supply was

were unexpectedly large. The strong feeling was
attributed to the fact that exporters had bought
twenty loads in New Y'ork for shipment, and that
lighter receipts are looked for from the Northwest.
