TRADE.
The holidays nav gone, and the dull
ness which CharaCJerizss them in q bust
ness way, has, VIC hope, gone with them.
But not only the holidays have cOnspirsd
70 make the past week one Of unusual
quietness. The heavy ice dOating in the
river up to Saturday last, put q stop to
navigation 20 az points above here and
the receipts of al kinds were light. An
effort was made on the part of some
holders TO force prices up, owing to the
short stock on hand OF some leading
articles, bus generally without success.
The boats have, however, again resumed
their trips, at least to Cairo and points
along the lower Ohio, but TO st. Louis il
is still closed. The demand for plants-
ton supplies is very small, n though
stocks have been light they have been
ample for all the necessities Of trade. In
dry goods there has been no change 70
note, and. we do not give our usuSl quota
tiOns.ss those Of last week are maintained
in all articles. It is expected that bust
ness in this line viii improve during this
month, and dealers look forward to such
8 result quite hopefully. Boots and
shoes, like dry goods, have held their w
and the weeks business was moderate, |
while stocks are generally good and well
assorted and new additions are being re-
ceiy6d daily. Groceries are steady and
I our wholesale houses have received large /
! stocks Of sugar and mOlasses from below. |
Prices are drm. Meats are dull; mess
pork sold As low as SO so during the
week, anQ sales Ctdry salt shoulders were
reported al &c, but the increase in rates Of
freight and the uncertainty about naviga-
ton caused an advance about the middle
of the week. Pork went up 81 and
shoulders to 7ZG8c in lots. Clear sides
advanced from lJZ TO 1OZGIlc. The two
latter have again declined, and at the
[ close shoulders are quiet at 7Zc n sides
a. lO4c. Hay probably went up more
than any other article. When the river
Z closed the stock here was very light and
spectators took all that could be found
81 S23G24r when prices jumped up to Sz6s
q. Corn for q day or two was held at 65c
on levee, but it also declined and closes
duh at 56G57c ia lots.
