There is considerable activity in trade In this market
and our merchants well pleased with their pros
poets for the fall and winter business The river ha
been gradually rising for days, and with the ris,
comes unlocked for demand for most kinds Of north
produce for southern markets There Is but little
cotton arriving except that coming out Of the Cumber
land and Tennessee rivers for he that freig
to eastern cities from all points south OF st. Louis and
Cincinnati lower via New Orleans by water than By
rail- hence cotton and all southern products bring bet
ter prices below than here any other point in the
Northwest. We have alterations to note In the price
Of any Of the articles below from last quotations
OF most Of the varieties there Is large stock hand
and large lots being daily received.
We are glad to notice that remarks upon the sub
ject Of alse tares in last issue, meet with the
tire and cordial approval of merchants and citizens
and there is earnest intention manifested by all to
remedy the evils there spoken Of.
The present exoroant rates Of freight per rail to the
east is having very salutay effect upon local mar
ket nasmuch of the products from the west and
northwest which have hitherto been transported to cas-
tern markets per railroad seeking outlet by
way of the river, bringing into demand an unusual
