WEEKLY REVIEW.

OFFICE DAILY DEMocRAr AND Nsws,l
Tuesday Eve., April II, 1850.
RrvsR.-The river 10 rising slowly at this point.
Business on the levee has been excellent the past
week, tho number Of arrivals large, and shipments
very fair. The number Of low water boats now
running in this trade cannot commence doing the
business. A steamer like the Belfast would soon
make fortune for her owners.
WEArsER.-The weather during the past week
has been very changeful. Wednesday, Thuriday
and Friday, it Was very pleasant; Saturday, it
was cold and raw, bat bright sun rendered every
thing cheerful. To-day, it il quite cold, with .
strong wind from the north east. heavy rain
fell, Sunday night, and Monday afternoon We had
several light showers. Reports from the country
say that the crops look very 6ne throughout tho
entire county. We congratulate eur friends upon
their brilliant prospects.
MARKEr.-The market during the past week
has been very steady, and on Saturday wheat ad-
vancsd s@5c. Other grains remain unchanged,
with fair demand for all. The st. Louis market

higher than last week. We give tho quotations
elsewhere.

ing new to notice. One concern in this city ad-
