A telegraph from the President of the Chicago, st.
Paul and Fond du Lac Railroad received to-day,
rtates that this road has net been damaged by
the recent storms. The road is new doing good
business.
There was marked relief in the Money market TO-
cay on call as compared with the early part ofthe week
and stock borrowers supplied their wants with consid-
cradle facility In paper, although the supply continues
quite moderate Of good Names yet rates are harden
ing Very few names can be passed at 9 y cent. The
current rates are 81 to 10 v cent.
The New.York Central Railroad is building large
depot at Milwaukee, and nine new propelers for the
lake trade.
AT Philadelphia there has been little more activity
in the Money market within the last few days, and
outdoor rates are rather higher; frst-class paper
ranging at from 9 to 10 v cent per annum.
At Boston Money is in more active demand. First
class paper passes more readily at 9 y cent. The
Banks are losing CON- which is taken for remittance TO
New-York. and the consequence has been general
ourtaiment of discounts.
Business with the dry goods commission men and
obbers still lacks activity and those who made active
preparations for an early Spring trade are somewhat
disappointed. This inactivity however is only mo-
mentary and its GAUGE may be traced to the suspended
severe cold weather while many of the railroads are
impossible on account Of the recent floods. Under
these circumstances but few additions have been
made to the stock of goods and assormen's are there
fire mite broken. Not much animation is now
pected till the weather becomes mild and navigation
Is again resumed. fair trade has been done with
the South thus far when we take into consideration
the uhproptous state of the weather., and the pay
merts from this section have been good. From pres
ent indications it not at all improbable that trade will
be later than usual indeed this is almost always the
case when goods high, as at present buyers make
I'D their minds that goods are not going to be any hgae
and consequently they hold back as much as possible,
and purchase only according TO their legitimate wants.
That trade will be heavy when 1t sets 10 Is probable
| The country is in prosperous condition, and hlgh
prices have been obtained for all cereal and agricultural
products. Wool, cotton and raw silk have reached
higher figure than known for several years, and we
must ga, tina. the advance in the goods market does
not at all sssmate with the enhanced cost OF the raw
materials Il Is more than probable that the price OF
the two former especially w rule high dunng the sea-
son; therefore, with accumulation Of any descrp-
| ton of goods on the market, we see no reason 10
Indicate any decline. Brown Sheetings are very irm
at &c. for standard makes of A goods, and we IN

very excellent article. Light goods are in moder'

but are held at improved rates, which buyers are not
at present to pay, for the reason that goods are still
in market which were purchased in the fal-when
there was an accumulson-at low figures until these
goods find their way into consumption, the en-
HANGED rates for the new fabrics viii not be very
readily obtained. Holders, however, are very firm,
and do not press Gales at present awaiting better
inquiry and improved prices. Drills are steady at the
advance with only fair home consumptive demand.
Denims, Stripes, Ticking and Corset Jeans selling
slowly at stssdy rates. Prints in fair request at
10 DC. for beat Madders and fancy styles. Lawns
chiefly on account Of the unpropitious weather, are
still inactive. The assortment is still broken, yet
Il ere are some very handsome goods in market from
the different Companies at llic. for 200 and
