demand at quotations Flour is not offering freely,
and may be said to be in demand, though we not
authorized to change previous quotations. Wheat is
rather quote White at 80 to o. Red So to
ga fine article of white Wheat you'd probably bring
81. We reduce quotations. for Corn to Is cents.
Cotton very little oeringa few bales were sold at ID
We reduce quotations fer some qualities OF Sugar;
the lowest figure is the wholesale price.
We suppose it is understood that quotations for
country Produce the price paid by merchants to the
wagons OF conrse merchants can't afford to resell
at the same price,

NORTH CAROLINA SPRINGs.-We learn that
the number of persons attending the Springs in
this part of the State this season is larger than
ever before known. There has been a good num-
Der at DIR. Elliotts White Sulphur Springs in
Catawba county, and we learn that there are now
10 or so persons there. At Wilson's and Nc
Brayer's Springs in Cleaveand county, visitors
are constantly arriving and departing. AS yet,
only those who really in search Of health visit
the above places, but as they become more gener-
ally known think all classes of pleasure-seekers
Especially those of our State) will visit them
The waters are known to possess superior medici-
nal qualities and heard Physician say the
other day that he believed they were as good as
any in the United States.
We also learn that the travel among the noun
tains of this State is larger than usual.
With the Springs and Mountains in the West,
and the accommodations afforded on the sea-shore
Of our State, we think the time has passed
when North Carolinians considered it necessary
to go North for pleasure, recreation or health.
