Trade.
Although-we have no great increase
to report in any particular branch OF
trade, during the week fair, and we
might say active, trade has been done in
all the different branches. The resump-
ton of navigation in the streams below
and above that derive their supplies from
this city has added largely TO our bust
ness, and the opening or resumption Of
navigation in all of the streams above
has brought to our landing the larger
class of steamers, and produce that early
in the week was scarce is now in good
supply. The rates that during the low
water season governed Ito certain ex-
tent the price of the leading articles,
have been reduced, and we have to-day
to report reduction in many articles.
In the leading branches, such as dry
goods, hardware, boots and shoes, bust
ness has been fair, and shows a marked
increase over the corresponding week
last year. There are no changes of i'm
portance in prices in either Of the above
lines to report, and, except an improved
demand, with an upward tendency in
prices in wooden goods, there is nothing
new to report in prices. In the general
market we notice decline in meats, an
advance in flour and corn meal, as we'll
as in corn, a decline in hay and a
continued firm feeling in groceries.
