uncommon rise in the markets al through the United States.
Dispatches from all quarters received this day announce a
great rise In the quotations OF bresdstufs and all kinds Of
provisions. Still, though holders In this line may be now
Inclined to hold on In their demands, they had better not
push things too far In anticipation Of q long duration Of this
European squsbbie. The commercial powers Of Europe are
trying their utmost for peace: the crops there are abundant
and favorable. So We now say, do not look to or hold on
for cxtravagant prices.
