TUESDAY Evening, June 10.
The general market has not displayed its usu-
al features of activity during the past few days
many circumstances having contributed to rem
der it dull and languid. The operations were IL
mited. The grocery market presents its usual
briskness with a slight improvement in prices of
the leading articles-owing to the advance noted
in New Orleans. The general stock of grocer
les remains fair, and prices are not influence by
any unusual supplies.
The weather during the week was rather I'M
favorable for out door business, several heavy
rains having fallen during the last three days.
The Ohio and Wabash rivers are both low,
the water on the principal bars being of an in
sufficient depth to admit the passage of any but
the lightest draught packets. The receipts and
shipments by the river, therefore, have been I'M
usually light Recent rains toward the head of
the Wabash promise rise in that river. The
Ohio continues gradual decline. The health
of the city is remarkably good. Freights to New
Orleans are scarce at low prices
