The Markets.

Our attention hla been called lately to
various reports having gone abroad to the
effect that the merchan.s Of this city have
not been and are not paying prices sufficient
to induce farmers and traders Of back coun
ties, whose trade rightly belongs to this
place, to make this their point.
Certain Davenport traders have also un-
truly aud slanderously circulated reports
through the country to the effect that seve-
raj Of the strongest firms aud largest pnr-
chasers Of produce have failed. In times
like these, when the public ear has but re-
Gently been startled by the crash Of great
