TRADE.

TRADE.
Business during the week has improved
though it is of jobbing character simos
exclusively. There is hardly any whHIe
sale demand. Meats are a little irmer
but buyers are very cautious and only
take enough for present use. Sugars anC
coffee and probably some other grocerie.
are taken in larger quantities; but TAXI
the whole range of the trade, and it is no
active as it should be. The high waite.
now coming out Of the upper rivers will
we fear, do damage in the lOwlands, with.
out a cold spell should set in to check it
The river is now, at thispOint, within foul
feet of high water Of 1867, and is rising al
the rate of twelve inches in twenty-foul
hours. This is an unusual rise, and may
prevent an overflow later in the year. We
fear disaster, however, from it now, and
would warn our readers who are liable tC
overflow to keep a sharp lookout.
