RICHMOND MARKETS, March

RICHMOND MARKETS, March %, 1850
There are no changes to note since our last, ex-
cept an advance of cents per bushel Ia Wheat
The spring trade Is yet little backward. The mos
new market Is steady and though money Is not very
plenty, engagements generally meet with great
promptuess
The latest arrival from California reports mo-
ney panic there and several suspensions; but they
can have very little effect here. The suspended
houses, it is said, will soon resume.
