The weeks business has been, upon the
whole, -satisfY ctory-, In the early part of
the week orders came In very freely, and
our wholesale houses had all they could
do; but the temporary suspension Of nav
igation towards the close caused a cornpsar-
On alive agnation The demand. however
increased yesterday, with indicatiohs'of a
good demand for the current week. 1t is
well known that Stocks are light in the
country. and merchants must either come
in, person or Send theirn orders fassTsocn as
the state Of fhe weather will allow. Many
have heretofore been kept at home by the
uncertain state OF therivers and the dam
gers of navigation. We can reasonably
count upon a clear river in anotherday or
two, with uninterrupted navigation for
the re mainder of the winter season. Our
merchants are anticipating an immediate
and permanent revival of trade. IL will
not find them unprepared, as stocks are
now very good, and will be kept supplied
fully up to the demands of business.
There has been quite an active business
on the wharf. occasioned by the large re-
ceipts of cotton, and heavy shipments of
produce and provisions. As "a shipping
point, Evansville is fast assuming the i'm.
portance and volume of business which
distinguished 1t before the war; when the
large New Orleans packets found this their
best port Of supply on the Ohio River. 1t
should be the aim of our merchants, by
the establishment of packet lines to Mem
phis, New Orleans, and elsewhere, to at
taeh to our city as large steamboat inter-
est as possible, and thus give us a better To-
cal advantage ind control of the shipping
business.
e The demand for produce and provisions
last week on Southern orders was large,
and our commission merchants are pretty
low in stocks. In Dry Goods and Groceries
