WEEKLY REVIEW.


Tuesday Eve, May 8, 1850.
TaE WEATHER for the r6st week has been all
that could be wished. We have had succession
Of pleasant days with shove nearly every night.
The rain Of the past week il said to have reached
plow deep, which will give the crops start they
have long needed We notice in some places that
corn has made its appeara3se above the surface,
while in othen it is not yee planted. We hope
for continuance Of just sudh weather as We have
had the past week.
| THs RIVER is slowly rising at this point with
~ feet of water upon thu upper rapids. Tho
Missouri is in a miserable hpating condition, and
mont Of the large craft have withdrawn from the
tr.de. business in the sbi ping line has been
ther light tue past week. 1oats appear to be do
ing fair business, however,
! BUSINESS kas been light the past week. The
spring trade is about finished, and outside Of the
city our merchants do not expect to sell many goods
until next fall. They will all be prepared for
heavy trade when the next crop commences NOV
ing.
In FINANCE We have nothing special to note
An eastern capitalist is at this time tarrying in
our city, but owing toa want Of confidence on the
part Of our citizens he has concluded not to nvts
at present. He has apartments At the Ackley
House, Oh 5th street. Exchange is in fair supply
Eastern buying at ~ and selling at q cent.
premium.
The psopuCE business has been rather dull
during the past week owing to very light receipts.
We have no changes to nete in prices. The de-
mand for wheat is excellent, but the supply is
quite short. small quantity Of Buckwheat
came in yesterday, which was sold for soc. Below
