NEVADA, March 3.--The fine weather Of
the present week has had little effect upon
prices, save in a few articles. Flour is firm
at the last week rates, though the markets
have declined below, and the roads are good
Business generally is pretty good, though
not characterized by the rapid demand for
provisions, consequent upon the appearance
Of a storm. We quote the principal articl es
as follows:
Flour Haxall, S2s; Chile lac, Corn Meal
374c. Barley sal0c. Pork, 4oc. Butter 72d
SIC. Potatoes l5c Lard 45c. Rice 20c-

The commercial report of the S. I. HDald
of Monday, saws since their last semi-month-
~ review, importations of flour have been
very heavy, amounting to the bulk Of near
30 900 barrels, and making the present stock
in the city and State about 10000 barrels
Through this rapid accumulation Of stock
,aust have been anticipated by these interest
cd, traders were evidently unprepared for
such an immense supply. Under this inilu-
once, prices gave way still further, bringing
the present current rates to limit that must
result in heavy loss even on first cost and
charges, and if it be considered that the prin-
sipal portion of recent arrivals had been
bought in advance, generally at n premium
Of SO to 100 per cent. on cost it will be evil
dent that an unusual loss must cnure TO the
gntcrprising or speculative dealers in event
of realizing in the present market. AT inter
walls during the pas. fortnight efforts were
made, or rather hopes entertained, that some
improvement in price would take place, it
being supposed by many that the minimum
figure had been reached with the contlnu-
Gus arrivals, however, these hopes vanished,
leaving the condition ofthe market at present
depressed beyond the possibility of immc-
diate or speedy rctricval.
