The suspension of business in this city, in
consequence of the prevalence of the horse-dis-
ease, is much more general than WAS thought
possible day or two ago. The coal dealers have
stopped delivery, as rule, to which there are
few exceptions. Many of the wholesale grocers
and dry goods merchants have also ceased Tor
the nonce, pending the arrival Of Orleans,
which have been engaged in the country, and
will be here shortly. We shall now have chance
to return to first principles in trade, the OK be-
ing the real pioneer Of domestic animals In clear
ing the forests and t,lling the soil. Nay more;
our word ''pecuniary" is said to be derived from
the word pecus, cattle, the head Of al OK being
the symbol stamped upon our first moneys.
notice posted upon the Board OF Trade
bulletin board to-day informs the public that all
towing teams are now withdrawn from the lii
nois & Michigan Canal. This puts an embargo
on receipts Of stone, coal, and grain by that
may be able to bring in their small quota OF ma
terial. It is also expected that deliveries OF
grain at country stations will be much lighter
than heretofore, as the farmers will take extra
risk Of exposure But the country depots are
generally we'll supplied with grain, so that our
receipts will not show considerable diminution
from this cause in the near future.
San Francisco ia striving hard to gain some OF
the trade of the interior which Eastern cities
now have, and the railroads seem to be moving
in the same direction. The Salt Lake Herald
| says:
While Eastern railroads have been advancing tho
rates Of freight goods coming West the Central p
freight rates goods between San Francisco and
Ogden-not much reduction in the class rates as
ticles formerly carried and charged as second and
third classes have been reduced to third and fourth
while special class has been e1vefng

pounds.
From the commencement Of the present har-
sells I lad been despatched from San Francisco,
with wheat for the United Kingdom. They
contained 2,865, ,425 centals, or 4,775,7oo bu,
valued in San Francisco at 81, ,779, ISL.
The first meeting OF the Evening ProFls1on
Board Was we'll attended on Friday night, It
comprised four packers, railroad agent, and
the reporters. One of them remarked to-day
that it was SUCCESS, for he took three drinks at
! the expense OF the others, and spent nothing
himself but his tine which vas vas not worn much s

! THE MARKETS.
The produce markets we're generally active to-
| day and most OF them were stronger as con-
sequence OF vet weather and the horse epidemic,
which is expected to decrease the teceipts Of
| produce, though the came fact will also reduce
| our facilities for getting rid OF our present
| stocks. The shipping movement "as quiet, o"-
ing to a scarcity Of vessels; but TOT this, the
stronger. AS it Was, they generally eased down

A fair amount Of trading was done In the dry

and at 1315@16c for the latter In the coal mar
