July 22.
Once again a week characterized by. very small sales has to be recorded, but merchants are not altogether dis-satisfied, for some slackness is to be expected just now and, anyway, there was a very cheerful tone in the market, indicative of good business at the proper time. Piece goods dealers did very good business in secondhands and the inquiry from almost all regions was much better. Cotton jumped up again and sampin followed suit, but there was as little business in the latter as there has been for a good while now. Exports are still lifeless.
