(AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED HEREWITH
For the Week ending last eUentng.
REMARKS.-The market has been exceedingly
quiet during the larger portion of the week, and
within the last two days. as the weather become
clear and put on its summer temperature, instead OF
relaxing its dullness it became if possible still
rigdly so. The cause may be ascribed probably to
similar epidemic which appears to pcrvade the
country at present and that has its origin in matters
abroad. There is want of money for all business
purposes without resort 10 high rates, as was the
case time back; and there is nothing OF a spe
cuative character presenting itself in which capital
lists safely make investments

the character of her commercial advices were not
calculated TO affect, in any manner whatever, the
