THURSDAY, Dec. 20-6 p. ID.
The severe snow storm put an estoppei to almost
all kinds of business to-day, and trade matters
were never before quieter. The day was almost as
much holiday as was "Chrstmas," and had there
been disposition to do business, it would have
amounted to nothing, as it was impossible to move
anything, either in the streets or in the harbor.
ON Change corn and whiskcy were in request and
full and improved prices were realzed--with these
exceptions, however, trade was at complete
stand-whe values, in the absence OF transac-
tions, may be considered as nominally the same as
on Tuesday Groceries were unchanged and very
quiet, and the same remarks will apply with equal
force to all other markets not above mentioned.
C0FFEE.-The market continued fairly active
under good demand for cargoes and fair in
quiry for jobbing lots. Prices were well main
tanned. The sales embrace 4,s57 bags Rio per Lord
Baltimore, 3,7O5 bags do per Gilpln and 5000,
balance cargo, per Contest all on private terms.

4 Snake Story.

The Richmond correspondent of the

"A gentleman. a physician, rcsiden,
near the Warm Springs, but now on a
visit to this city. tells remarkable snake
story. The doctor was recently sent for
TO see lady of his neighborhood who
had been bitten on the ankle by a rattle
snake. When he reached the patient he
found that her friend, adopting an old
Indian remedy which had come down
to this generation with the legendary
lore of the ncighbOrhood, had bound the
wound, already much swollen and in
famed, with several folds of the inter-
lining (fiber. of the bark of the syca.
