Tuesday Eve., Sept. Is, 1860.
TuK WEATHER for the past week has generally
cen very pleasant. Frsay night We were visit
ed BY heavy shower, which effeciuslly laid the
almost intolerable duet The nights have been
quite chilly, and on two or three occasions quite
heavy frosts have been observable in the morn
ing. We hsv We heard Cf NO damage being done
to anything.
BusISEss during the past week hes been very
good, but not quite so heavy as during the previ-
Gus week. The low price Of some descriptions of
produce, and the evident disnclinstion Of farmers
to market their wheat At less figure than 81,
has worked this change. We really think our
farmer friends luboring under q mistaken
idea, that holding ON to their grain will prove
beneficial TO them. The interest on the money ct
present prices will probably be moro than the ad
vance they will obtain. The Fall stocks Of our
merchants are coming in, and they are very large
For The best houses to trade with consult our adj
vertisng columns.

est to note. Money is becoming more plentiful
