In the case of Erie this improvement at- tained an extent of a good two per cent, but else- where was confined to a range of % a 1 per cent. Harlem, in one of those spasmodic starts which are so frequent a feature of the dealings therein, advanced from 120} to 128.

Inactivity was the chief feature to-day through- out the ramifications of trade, premium exerted no influence whatever in busi- ness circles, there being apparently no disposition to purchase beyond the pressing exigencies of the moment at anything like current values, an almost total absence of a speculative apirit, while the export movement is still in a state of enforced sluggishness from the scarcity of freight room and the difficulty attendant upon the nego- tiation of charters of vessels of the desired capacity, Hence of Change was wes were to @ great extent nominal. cotton market, at least as regards immediate de- liveries, waa still dull and almost nominal, Produce Exchange business was almost at a stand, The flour market was extremely dull, though there were numerous unfilled orders. Prices were nomi- nally lower, but in view of the hitch in freights and charters scarcely anything was done, Some little business was done, but a full load is 80 seldom placed nowadays that undue importance scems to be attached to it, and secrecy with regard to the price is made one of the terms of sale, so that the market may be re- garded as wholly nominal. but prices were unchanged. Whiskey was lower, but fairly active. In provisio: there wasgreater firmness than on Saturday, and though business was very moderate prices favored the seller for nearly all kinds. Groceries continued very quiet, without exhibiting any material change in prices.
