COMMEIiCIAL.
news OFFICE, i
Monday Evexino, Oct. 2, 1876. j
The month of October opens with
trade good in all branches and the pros
peet encouraging.
The movement to-day has been rather
below average in the amount of goods
disposed of to buyers on the spot, but
orders were fully up to expectations.
The sales of cotton were large, but
they were only effected by a concession
of \c. to buyers.
Hides ruled strong with light offer,
ings on the market and a competition
between buyers strong.
Wool is arriving slowly, and the fall
clip promises to be very light. I'lices
lire steady.
In the provision market jobbers re-
port dull bcss and a further reduction in
quotations. The market is bare of clear
sides, and only light stocks are held by
grocers. Prices of bacon and lard have
been marked down } to Jc., and still
tend downward.
At a late meeting of the Cordage
Manufacturers' Association, at Del-
monico's, New York, it was decided to
advance rates half a cent per pound.
This action is due to a rcccot consider-
able advance in the price of Manila and
Sisal licmp, which is in very light
stock.
It is not such a great while since the
time when, if a packer of tomatoes
came into town, says the New York
Oroeer, he carefully looked around the
corner to see that no broker was in
sight, knowing that his presence would
be considered an evidence of anxiety to
sell, and some compromise would have
to be made before lie could escape.
Now the packer finds himself waited
upon by the broker with a list of buy-
ers and a request to take his pick, "at
your own price, sir."
The market for refined petroleum
seems about ready to start anew on its
upward course. An exchange of last
Saturday's date says the rapid advance
received a check late in August by some
of the speculators offering their stocks
freely, but refiners held firm at prices
higher than sccond-liand holders were
asking. Mow the stocks bought before '
the late extreme advance are mostly
cleaned and can not be replaced. Also
of the two hundred new wells com-
pleted in August, most of tliein are dry
holes and none yield any considerable
quantity, hence holders remain firm
and all indications point to higher
priccs.
The late advance in raw silk and its
manufactured products is attributed to
the facts that the silk crop in France is
only one-fourth an average one; of
Italy, one third, and that of China only
two-thirds. Since July 1st priccs of
raw silk have advanced rapidly. Here
the advance is 00 to 90 per cent, over
last years, and in Prance still greater.
High prices are expected until next sum-
mer, when the yield of the new crop
can be estimated. The advance on man-
ufactured goods is at least 15 to 25
per cent., and on scarfs and ribbons 20
per cent., and sewing silk 25 per cent.
Many of the manufacturers had large
stocks of raw silk when the advance
commenced, licnce prices of manufac-
tured goods have not as yet advanced
relatively with raw silk.
THE KEFINED SUGAR MARKET.
For refined sugar the New York mar-
ket remains in a quiet and unsatisfacto-
ry condition. The American Oroeer
says: ,«
Prices have ruled about steady,
though in tone favoring buyers. This
state of quietude has now lasted longer
than at first thought possible, showing
that a greater quantity was distributed
during July and August than then real-
ized. Considering the great deficiency
in the supply of the raw material, re-
liners look all the more for sharp ad-
vance when a renewed demand does
come. The necessities of refiners have
also been reduced to so small a point
that they have been able to get along
from their own direct importations
now arriving, which were bought some
time since on the basis of a lower mar-
ket here. These supplies are now well
used up, and refiners will soon be forced
into the open market, when an advance
will be necessary, as at the present raw
sugar is relatively higher than refined.
Under these circumstances the market
closes steady, though quiet, with only
an improved demand needed to cause
an advancc.
COTTON.
The Liverpool spot market closed
dull and easier, but unchanged, with
sales for the day of 10,00 bales, of
which 5000 were American and 1000 for
export and speculation. Tlie imports
were 2800 bales, all from America. The
market for arrivals opened weak bnt
closed steadier.
The New York spot market opened
quiet and ruled dull, and closed easy,
•with sides of 1715 bales, principally to
spinners.
The New Orleans market closed ir-
regular at ic. decline on low middling
and middling.
The receipts at the outports aggre-
gate 1)0,689 bales, against 20,002 last
Monday, and 19,480 for the correspond-
ing period last year.
The stock at all United States ports
is 243,999 bales, against 172,224 bales
same date last year.
In this market sales to the extent of
2735 were reported, seven brokerage
firms participating in the transaction.
The Exchange reduced figures | ©n all
grades, and bulletins the market as
closing "irregular."

Sales this day have been moderately
fair. The better grades of cattle sell
readily at quotations, and buyers will
take nothing but fat stock. Full fat
beeves and choice cows are in good de-
mand, with but a limited supply on
hand. Calves are also good sale and
but few offering.
The sheep market is bare of choice
grades, but heavy shipments are on the
way.
There are some buyers seeking hogs,
and heavy receipts may be expected.
Shippers should not forget to have
their inspector's certificate and bill of

trouble will thereby be avoided.
