Review of the Market for the Week endlna
Aug. II, 1852.

In the general markets no important changes
have taken place since our last weekly review.
Flour moves off slowly, the demand being still
confined chiefly to the city retail trade. In Pro-
visions not much has been done, and prices arc un
changed. There has been fair business done in
Groceries at steady prices.
The river has risen about 2I feet during the last
few days; but il is now again falling, with about
feet water in the channel hence to Louisville.
The weather has been cloudy during the week;
but with the exception of two showers there have
been no rains; though we hear of it having rained
considerably in various directions.

quote 3283ec for &c and % per cent. above proof.

sustained. Among the sales We notice lrkins
