NASHVILLE, OCJODtl 20 1000
During the first part Of the week under review,
the weather mild and pleasant, but on Sunday
afternoon a change occurred accompanied by light
shower, since which it showery until yesterday,
when had a light TALL of Snow, which continued
for several hours. The weather wise predict heavy
fall of rain with the breaking up of the present 'cold
spell"
The river has continued TO recede since our last,
until yesterday, when it reported at stand,
with twenty-five inches on the Shoals. Boats OF only
the smallest class can now make trips. There is,
however, but little doing in the way Of feights, and
Two or three boats scarcely find compensating EN-
ployment.
Business is somewhat duer than at our last re-
view, owing TO the light receipts Of wheat and the
low stage of the river. There is, however, very
healthy activity in the several departments of trade,
with ample supplies to meet present demands.
BANK NOTES AND EXCHANGING refer
to our Bank Note Table for the current rates of
Bank Notes and Exchange. 1t will be seen there
is a slight improvement in the quotations of some
Bank issues. Sight Exchange on New Orleans has
advanced slightly, while thirty and ninety day bills
have declined A slight decline is also quoted in
Sight Exchange on New York.
LAND WARRANTS have improved slightly, as
will be seen by reference to our quotations.

and afford 10 index to the market. Our quotations
are, therefore, entirely nominal.

transactions to report.

al &c.
