The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1856-02-22
COMMERCIAL.

Richmond Markets, February 21, 1856.
We have nearly the same report to make that
we have given for some weeks past. The naVi-
CATION is still closed by the ice Vessels lie at our
wharf that have been detained two months: but
the necessities of trade have forced the merchants
to resort to the railroads, and importations have
been made from Baltimore and City Point by this
means Sales of New Orleans sugar at 10 cents.
and molasses at 80, by wholesale. =
There has been nothing doing in Rreadstuffs
except corn and meal for local consumption. Corn
is duh and considerably fallen. The mills have
ground very little since Christmas and the ina
bility to ship had prevented shippers from dealing
| in fionr ,....- .. -..
Since our last we have had another severe spell
| of freezing weather But an agreeable change
| has taken place and the hope of the speedy open
ing of navigation, often disappointed, is again
| excited. a
| The Tobacco market has been lively and prices
| good.
The European intelligence is STILL favorable to
