The weather continues exceedingly un-
pleasant. AS we make up our report the
snow is falling fast, and all the indi
cations point to snow storm of severe
magnitude. Business men now despair of
any marked improvement in the weather
until the sun crosses the line and we are
well through with the semi-annual equi-
noctial storm. The river continues high,
and the amount of suffering caused by the
overflow is sad to contemplate. AS we
have remarked in several of our previous
reports the effect upon business is most dis
astrous. Communication with their GUS
toners is next to an impossibility, our
merchants are finding out, and they des-5
pair of selling many goods until
the waters subside. Even then time
will be required on the part of their
customers to make good the losses result
ing FROM high water, and MANY a dollar
that was set apart to pay an old account,
or go towards purchasing a new stock of
goods in our city, will now have to be
spent to repair the ravages of the flood.
We cannot reasonably expect the waters
tosubside in less than three weeks time.
The Lower Mississippi is SO high that the
Ohio will run down very slowly. Some
predict that five weeks must elapse before
1lle latter stream Is again within its banks.
We cannot expect a business revival until
that happy period arrives.
~ GROCERIES.
AS in our last, wholesale houses
complain bitterly of dull times. They are
ready with large stocks and small margins,
to serve customers, who are too busy con-
tending with the floods to visit our city,
for the purpose of laying in supplies.
One of our packets recently brought
an order from Shawneetown, for some
ltshments in that vicinity being under
water. Under such circumstances large
sales of groceries are not to be expected.
After careful inquiries, we find that
prices have undergone no change since our
last report. We accordingly copy the
former quotations as follows:
CoFFEE-Downward tendency; common
to good 24c; prime to choice 26@2715c; good
tc choice Java 33@36c

,ea2ol DRY GOODS.
The decline in some lines of goods, during
the past two or three weeks, added to the
dull times. occasioned by the high water,
has not, been calculated to make our dry
goods dealers unusually cheerful Cotton
goods have experienced a decline of from
one half to one cent, but latest reports in
dictate that they may again advance Just
at present but little is doing.
| QUEENswARE. - Business very dull.
Dealers continue hopeful. Saving their
goods paid for, they feel that they can af-
ford to wait, knowing that their share of
trade will come round In due season. lel.
