The general inquiry as to all commercial
centres now is in reference totheexistence
of cholera. We are pleased to note that
our city, thus far, has escaped its rayages,
and with the excellent sanitary arrange
ments of the authorities we hope to avoid
it entirely. Merchants need have no fears
of visiting the city. Wehave never passed.

Our private advices from Cincinnati are.
that some of the best Grocery Jobbing-
houses have become embarrassed, by too
great indulgence in credit to their custom
ers, and it has had its effect in shaking the
confidence of Eastern merchants in the
trade of the West. There is only one safe
course to pursue in mercantile business,
and that is to confine sales to prompt and
cash dealers; then the revulsions, which
may come at any time, will find our mer-
chants on stable ground. .eair-f5

Of the Cincinnati market the Gazette
says: Te3 sa aaH -lHuE Iea0
There is no essential Improvement in the
markets for general merchandise, but
there is a better feeling among merchants
larising from the decline in the number OF
cholera cases; the sanitary measures are
already so effective That there is no danger
now in visiting the city, and a revival OF
trade may be expected in g. short time.
Ii Good Sound flour of all grades is in good
request, but only in small quantities.
Wheat continues in good demand, but the,
extreme views of holders is damper on
the activity of the market Still the bulk
of the offerings find ready market. There
is only moderate demand for corn, and
1.-THE market is still weak and tending to-
ward lower prices. Oats are irregular and
unsettled, and freely offered at l@2c de-
feline.
