(AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED HEREWITH
For the IVeek ending last euen'ng
REMARKS-A tolcrable fair business doing
in the general market in the early part OF the week,
but subsequently indifference TO operate has been
quite manifest. The steamer Europas adViccs ieIt
the English market in an excited or an cXcitaole
state and desire TO know more from inc other siue
by our business men has probably alone produced the
apathy in this market The next steamer, the Anne
RIGA, is fully due at Boston. 800 ....,.

SLOWLY but there is considerable DOING although pro-
badly not to the extent there was at thls cor
responding season last year. The elcctiohs' Whlch

departure of Merchants Eastwardy so soon TINS all
