There is distinct iucrcise in orders for BTOOtoa. goods.

To many it is the most perplexing feature of curreut events that wheal does not rise much, though it advanced 1 cents for the week. Atlantic exports have been ouiy 1.6i6.06 bushe.s. flour included, against lMMM lor the same week last year, wnile western rcce.pt have beeu only 1.4ÖH.1M bushels, agaiust 2.ou.407 last year. The coudiiiou of the market is not explained by any specal information, but curreut prices abow that no great coutideuce is leit in the estimates of Buppnes available for the rest of the year. Cotton fell to 7 cents, after the agreement to close Fall Kiver and other print cloth works became kuown. but reo .vered the o,uotation of a weeK ago. 7. tl eeuts without further news, spinners' takings have been so small this year, those of northern mills about 4.JO.O0O bales leas thau in i ' . that the admitted uarrow ueasof demand for goods has at present ens. :cra b.e weiut.

There has leen only a slight stiffening in prices, hut more foreign wool w ill be takeu and stored, it is believed, if western holders continue to demand higher prices PrMOB of Hesseiuer pig and gray forge at Pittsburgh have slightly advanced with a much more hopeful fee.iug, notw ithstanding the comparative narrowues of the demand for finished products, and in plates aud wire and wire nails there is much more business with good prospects. Billet are quoted at 515. -'i with scarce.y any ilemaud at preseut, aud rods ai'tf-'l. while No. 27 b.ack aheete are quoted at only two cents. Ke ports that t'j.uuo tons of steel piate and sheet bar have been ea-
ported to hugiin.i are oniy iuuilions of the temporary excess of supply over demau.l in this country, and are not supposed to have realized any profit. Yet it is stated that prices of cast pipe are from twodo'lars to three dollars per ton .ovver at New York thau at scotch works. liars are quoted at '.he lowest price ever known at Philadelphia, without much improvement in the demand, and steel rails are still inactive and unchanged in price, the railroads wa.ting for a decline corresponding to the fall in billet. Hut ou the whole the demand for iron and steel products is slowly gaining, and a considerable proportion of the works are fully employed, though the gain is not yet enough for those who have taken large stocks of material or prodacts ou speculation. In the money market there appears no embarrassment, and the large sale of Northern Pacific and Oregon Navigation securities to Kuropean capitalist has given additional assurance that balances due to this country will not be cancelled for some months U come so that the point of possible fold sports is removed still farther. The course of the stock market has een un instructive aud dealings hare not beeu large, but the average of railroaö stocks has advanced a small fraction and the average of trust stocks hat j slightly declined.
