I Blueness, as Is naval on Chrsitmes, was suspended today, and with the egos• lion of toy houses, confectionaries, AM., it has been doll throughout the week and is likely to continue so until after New Years. The markets, in a general way, aro devoid of anything really new or important, nothing at least worthyof epochs' notice.• The demand for all the leading commodities is light and entirely local, while in regard to the values, there are no important changes. - We are Jai:topes that after the boll. days are over and the annual settle =ants effected, that business, generally, wilt- improve.

The receipts of grain. flour, provls• lona and country produce genet ally, al. though not larger than usual, are never. thelem fully up to the demand, and be aide', as a general thing, tmaluma men, at this particular meson of the year, are So disposed to carry any more 'lock than possible.
