Review Of tho Market for the Week ending

Review OF tho Market for the Week ending
Wednesday, February 4.
GENERAL REMARKS-Since the breaking up
of the ice in the river, which took place on Satur
day, business generally has improved, and in the
shipping business there has been much activity;
and with the removal of the obstacles, which for
some time past have depressed commerce, every
department of trade will resume their wonted
channels. For most articles the markets are still
somewhat unsettled, and it Is therefore difficult
to give strictly reliable quotations. The receipts
of Flour have been light, and transactions have
been confined to the city trade Provisions have
been in more request, and an improvement has
been established in the value OF most articles
The river has risen about ton feet altogether, and
the stage of water is now ample for all boating
purposes. The weather is clear and pleasant and
the ice is rapidly Disappearing and we are now
able to report full resumption Of navigation.
At Pttsburg the river rose to tn rteen feet but at
noon yesterday it was falling, with eleven feet
water in the channel. The gorge Of ice in the
Mississippi river at Cape Girardeau gave way on
Monday, and navigation is now open between St.
Louis and Cairo, The ice in the Missouri river
has also broken up.
