There such an evenncss in the temperature of thu
times about the days that remarks arc scarcely worth
the making. All are waiting for favorable change
but there Is no we'll grounded for expecting an
Improvement until we can begin to the approach OF
Spring. Two months at least must pass away before
progress can be reported As money grows more
all kinds of country produce must continue to reccde
| in price. Groceries and heavy mcrchandie arc now
brought from the X. II. Depot, by horse-erry and the
stores are better supplied with Sugars, Salt &C., c
than they have teep for weeks ras Trade Sill
keeps up astoni hingly, but tho demand for good,
comes from region so far west to have been bcnc
lifted by the emigration Of last year our near neigh

resumption of specie payne n. by tie banks Of n Y
