Review Of the Market for the Week ending
April Id, 1852.
GENERAL REMARKS.-rhe trade of the week
has been upon the whole, good, and prices OF all
the leading staples except Flour, which is a shade
lower, have been firmly maintained, and in pro.
visions further advance has been established
The river has been sufficiently high to inconven.
fence shippers, and to check to a considerable ex
tent business on the river, but it did not reach
the height apprehended on the eve OF our last date
and the water is now rapidly receGing.
1t will be -seen that Clover seed has farther de.
clined, and the current rates fully two dollars
per bushel below the highest price OF the season.
In the Eastern markets the decline is about one
dOlar-but the advance here twas much greater
than in any fthe seaboard markets. There is In.
creased firmness in the Coffee market, and an ad.
vance OF tc has been established. Sugars have
been in very active demand and atIfull rates.

and pleasant.
