MARKETS.

L.
The weather during the past week has been
seasonable, and vegetation is coming forward
rapidly. Spring Wheat in this vicinity is all
sown and looking WELL Farmers are busy plow-
ing and getting ready to plant Corn. Winter
Wheat stands well on the ground and reports
from all parts of the country are favorable but
just now needs rain.
| The leading markets of the country have been
| unsettled, owing in great measure to the fluc-
| tuations in the price of Gold. On Monday it
| sold in New York as high as Soc premium, yes
terday as low as 52la. Decided military successes
would no doubt put Gold much lower. Until
| they are realized, the price will go up and down.
There seems to be fair demand for our pro-
duets to go abroad, notwithstanding the exports
have fallen off considerably since the first of the
month. The unexpected delay in opening of
| Lake navigation has caused dull and lifeless
market in Chicago. AL the vessels in port have
| loaded and started below, and nothing further
can be done until vessels arrive from the lower
| Lakes. The latest accounts from the Straits of
Maclnac are not favorable. Ice still reported as
strong.
| Prices have varied but little from last week.
