GEN ERAL REMARKS.

| GENERAL REMARKS.
The weather for the past four or fv
days has been very pleasant. We hav
had clear days, with warm temperature
and the streets are now becoming dry an,
in good travelling condition. Tho marke
is dull, there being little activity in an.
branch of trade. Receipts here are large
and freight has accumulated until wharf
boats and all other reccptacles for storag,
arc crowded almost beyond their capacity
Scarcity of tonnage continues, and the
market is kept IN an inactive state. Or.
ders arc large. but with no facilities
for moving freight, transactions are nee.
essarily light. Rates remain unchanged
but indications point to a decline.
