NEW ORLEANS MARKET, April 30.
Since our last Saturdays report nearly every
department Of the market has been in more dull
ard inactive state than we have had occasion to
notice for many weeks past. The almost entire
cessation of the speculative excitement viii ch so
suddenly seized upon many articles, carryin up
prices with extraordinary rapidity, has in many
instances brought the market to complete stand
with high prices which are rendered nominal by
want Of demand, while in other cases pos tive
decline from the rates of last week has been ex.
perienced
The weather continues clear and very warm
The river is four feet below high water mark
and still falling.
Considering the uncertainty of prices, we de-
cline giving quotations.
