owing partly to the anticipation of later European
accounts by the Hiberna, which have now reached
us. though in a very unsatisfactory shape. The III

CINclNNATI, April 49,
RemarkS-The river has continued to rccede since
last date, and in the week has fallen about to f
briagng the Ohio down TO a moderate stage, which,
with the scarcity of reghts, has caused the larger
boats 10 lay up. At Louisville on Monday there
G. #. water in the canal, and still rcccding If
the decline is not checked, the regular packet to
will have TO give place to smaller boats
Fortunately there is Just but little freight either
arriving at for shipment from Pittsburgh, and the
same is true here. FreightS-We have no alteration
to notice i'll prices to any point. To New Orleans
and St. Louis the rates were already down 10 the
lowest fgures-to the former 20 cts. per 100 lbs;
Flour 30 cts; Pork 40 cts Whiskcy so cts; to the
latter 20 cts per 100 lbs. and Whisiey 40 cts The
rates Pittsburgh l2ial5 cts. per 100 lbs, and
not likely to be lower until there is an improved
stage of water. Via the Miami Canal and Lake,
contracts are made through TO New York, for heavy
frcights at 65 cts. per 100 lbs. The shipments are
yet moderate, as they could not 60 through yet
The Weather has been necessarily dry, and quite
cool for the season. The earth now needs rain. We
placed the above in the hands of the compostor early
yesterday morning, and before 10 o'clock we had
smart shower, with decidedly cold atmosphere, and
during the day it continued cloudy. State Of Trade
Our market wears much the same aspect at our
last date. Flour however, has been in less demand
with slight decline in prices. There has also been
less enquiry for Provisions and less frmness man
itcscd by holders of meats, or two descriptions
A moderately fair demand has existed
for Groceries from the country, but there is ami
nation in the market. Prices, however, are steady
The slight panic which has existed in the country in
regard TO the safety of our currency, has induced
some anxiety to be rid Of the risk Of holding it, and
so far, has had beneficial influence upon money
matters here. Money DfatterS-Sncc the effort
made TO create suspicious of the sovency of of
our Ohio Banks, for which the failure of the Bank of
Wooster gave opportunity, making the stories
circulated plausible, currency has been coming into
the city much more freely especially during the past
week, much of it having been sent in to purchase
Eastern Exchange, and this, with increased de-
mand among own merchants, has made Exchange
exceedingly scarce, causing advance TO per cent
prem. at which it is very firm. There is no
change in the rates of New Orleans. Coin is in
demand Gold commands per cent. and silver
is difficult to obtain at | premium. All sorts of
rumors have been put aoat in regard to of the
best hanks in the State. and salcs of their notes |
