changes that take place on seaboard and in fer
eign countries
We would call the attention Of our readers
| to the last arrivals from Europe and the New
York market reports. Reco,ect that we give
the VERY LATEST news by telegraph expressly
for this paper. The severe drought in Southern
| Ohio and Indiana has injured the corn crop to
some extent but the extra number of acres
planted will make up the loss in yield. In Hi
nos and Iowa the crop win be greater than any
previous season, therefore we may expect that
there will be no falling off in quantity or quail.
ty OF beeves or hogs.
The following from the New York papers Of
the 18th inst will show the present state of the
provision market in that city:
There we're nearly thousand head less of
beef cntiie received last week than the week
before and in consequence there was an advance
of So to 80 a head, or IRON half to one cent
n pound TOR the meat, at the great cattle mar
ket yesterday, at Forty-fonrta street.
The demand for pork the past week has been
quite moderate, and the arrivals limited, but to
effect sales holders have been compelled to de-
cline OF SOC per Dbl. and on prime at 25c.-
AT this abatement. there is rather more doing
and Grmer feeling is apparent. The stock,
however, is in excess of our local wants, and the
trade purchase in consequence only to supply
their immediate wants, fearing further decline.
Prime mess is in small stock, and is inactive and
nominal at SIS. Refuse pork has sold more
firmly, but at irregular prices. At the close a
frmer feeling is apparent, especially in mess.
Our market is nearly bare of provisions, there
fore no transaction except in retail way. Our
jobbcrs are in full supply with steadily increas-
ing sales. Dry goods are now particularly |
sought after by merchants from the interior,
who find that good stocks are kept and Of such t
prices as give universal satisfaction. There is |
no change in prices OF staples worthyof note.
The same may be said of boots, shoes |
and leather, owing to The low stage of
water in tho river. Reports have been circulat
ed by designing persons calculated to injure the
grocery trade by asserting that stocks were small
and the heavier articles were subject to high
er tariff on account of being obliged to tighten
them over the falls. We haye taken some trou-
bic to ascertain the truth of these reports and
find that there is no foundation for any of them
Stocks are large and our merchants have had
foresight enough to purchase and put their
goods i'll store before navigation received any
check in consequence of low water. They also
have the advantage of connections with the At
!antic cities by railroad which many of our
neghboring towns have not and from whom all
Of these reports emanate. THERE'S no material
change in prices except in the article of sugar
and this was expected.
Hard,care Stores and Iron.-In this depart
ment our dealers are in full stock and more ar.
irving daily. In this kind of trade Burlington
has been able to lead all her sister river cities
heretofore, and from present indications she will t
not be behind the best of them this season.
Clothing.-We notice larger stocks Of all de
scrptions than heretofore. We think from the I
amounts arriving and prices at which they are
offered, that a large wholesale trade in this de-
partment is anticipated. There surely was new
er better stocks opened from which to make Sc
lections than are now being received by our
merchants.
