TRADE.
In all the departments Of trade Their
has been considerable activity during th,
week Just closed, and had it not been fOi
the heavy rains during the early portion
Of the week, business would have bseu
much better. As iC was, shipments WerC
confined almost exclusively TO points
reached BY river or rail, the country OF
interior traffic being light, on sccOunt o.
the bad condition Of the roads. In the
/ general market there are no new or inter.
esting features TO chronicle. Grain snC

prices tend downward. Corn, especially

lower and the supply equal TO the
