EVANSVILLE, June 8; 1866.
The business of the current week opened
on Friday last, with some animation, in
some of the branches of trade, since which
there has been no Improvement, but rather
a lull, than otherwise. Operations in Pro-
duce have been rather limited, with the ex-
ception of Flour, which has been brisk.
The continued advance in Gold, up to
within a day or two, caused some excite
but little effect upon the general market,
with, perhaps, the exception of Groceries,
which have slightly advanced, but we
make no change Gd9ggs In M figures. with the ex-
CORN-There is but little in the market,
nor is the demand very great. The re-
ceipts by rail, for the past week, have been
low We may quote at 70to72c for Mixed
and Yellow, and 70 to 75c for Prime White
in new gunnies, with the remark that
round lots would hardly realize the above
figures.

mercial week there was some excitement
last and the reports from the country in

GROCERIES-Thi branch of our trade
has been rather brisk than otherwise, and,
