TRADE.

IL
Business during the week has been
moderately active in the grocery and
provision trade, and prices are some
what more in favor of buyers. The
receipts of bulk meats have been
larger, and the demand also has i'm
proved, but prices are lower, with in
dicatiUns that they have not yet
touched bottom. The embargo placed
upon shipments from this point by
rail, for several days past, has been re-
moved, and We moi Will not occur
again during the season. The river a.
this point has begun to decline, and
uO danger need now be apprehcuded
uI an overflow. The wafer, 50 far,
has done little Or no damage below
this city. Vast quantities oil produce
pass on every steamer bound South,
and our own market has been iiber-
ally supplied during the week from
the Ohio and Upper Mississippi.
