This morning a snow storm gave US a
hyDerboreau nip not at all encouraging
- commerce. Everywhere there was
COMPLAINT of the hauling facilities be-
ing below the wants OF commerce. Per-
sons who bought produce on hatboats
three DAYS ago are to-day obliged TO
turn orders away because they have
never been able to gel their stock away
from the boats. Corn is plenty on the
fat boats, Sc a sack is offering for haul
ing. vet the holders cannot, even at that
price. get near the quantity they want
10 I'm orders. The corn was almost as

rricste their loads. As merchants pay
privilege tax, this should not be SO, but
