The ng-continued reign of water and
mud is proving very detrimental to the
trade of the city. Even the most hopeful
and buoyant of our merchants are begin
ming to have slight attacks of desponden-
cy. They have felt. all along. that trade
would revive when the waters recede, but
the waters manifest little inclination to
confer that favor upon them, and weather
wiseacres notify us that the new moon in
dictates continued wet weather. As we
write the rain is pouring down in torrents,
and must again occasion an overflow in
most of the streams. 1t is hardly possible
to swell the Ohio to larger dimensions, but
in keeping 1T at its present stage thousands
of dollars worth of valuable property will
be destroyed. The Provision market still
keeps lively. and the demand for spiritu-
Gus liquors is on the increases. The latter
is not to be wondered at, considering the
fact that people are wont to imbibe freely
to prevent evil consequences resulting
fro m being often in the waters. {. The -four
market is also active, with a very limited
stock and increasing demand. The indi-
cations are that the stock will be pretty
well exhausted some time before the next
wheat crop in this section is harvested.
WHAT'S remarkably unusual, we have
no change in quotations to give, with one
or two exceptions, since our last review.
The decline in gold and cotton has effected
a few articles slightly. but not enough to
influence trade to any extent. We give
our quotations as. printed last week. f-gs-t
