CAIRO, Thursday, Feb. 6, 1873. J
CESERAI REMARKS

GENERAL REMARKS.
The general market continues active
with little, if any, change in the demand
or prices Of leading articles. Receipts of
hay and oats since our last issue have been
liberal, and stocks have accumulated. The
market on these articles shows signs of
weakening, and slight decline may be
looked for. The demand for both is no
less active, but lack of shipping facilities
to reach the interior Of the South restricts
transactions. The corn market is very
active, but the supply falls short of the
wants of the trade, and orders arc accum-
mulating, There is also large local de-
mand for milling purposes Corn meal is
in good demand with IN upward tendency
in price, Flour is scarce, the stock is
barely sufficient for the home trade with
little or no surplus to ship Freights are
unchanged, and firm at 3Oc and Coo to
New Orleans. The weather the last three
days has been clear, warm and spring
like.
Dzy.Correspondent should bear in
mind that our quotations represent prices
for round lots from first hands, unless
otherwise stated, and that in filing small
orders higher prices must be paid Gs1

We often hear and read Of sleep. Our
wise and learned followers of the Centaur's
scholar, will tell US that sleep is an Harticle
which is very necessary for the health and
welfare of ALP Then poets sing of "balmy
Sleep" and all that sort of thing. Now here
is man who, from early morn to dewy
eve, has Piled bis pen and added his brains
over figures and accounts. He returns late
in the evening, worn out and in great need
of rest. He retires to his room; there is o
comfortable bed with clean, white sheets,
ETC., which invite repose, viii e Morpheus
wOoes him in every zephyr which fans big
throbbing brow. With grateful sigh the
party aforesaid retires, and is sinking into
blissful dream; the labor ofthe day, troubles
of life, all are forgotten, but h7shI bark
what sound rouses him? "Twenty dollars
BETTER" 81 see it," sten better" cry voices
In the next room. The poor man gazes
wildly around, when again, 81 hold three
skies" cries one voice, while another Il
made flush, the pot is mine" Alas, poor
mani Where now are thy dreams OF bliss,
for now till ''day light Goth appear" you
will bear more "hands" "cussed and dis
cnssed" than ali the glovers in town could
cover, while pet names and Greek quota
tons will burst upon you, so you, like
Byron, can sing ''no sleep till MORN" pro.
Vided you are inclined 20 sing.
1t is said that poker is a very fascinating
game; so it may be to some, but there is

don't care to hear it, at the expense of his
sleep.
