FRIDAY, April 1S-6P. NJ
Business continued dull In almost all the ramh-
cations OF trade to-day, the Wall street crisis occa
sionng considerable apprehension lest its in
fuence become potent everywhere, and the exer-
else OF the utmost caution on the part OF the mer
camille community seems to have become an ur-
gent necessity in order to work OF any possible
difficulty as result OF the locking up OF currency
and the consequent panic In stocks. As yet the e;
feet Is seen only In the shrinking OF trade and the
hesitancy to assume any new obligations on the
part OF the business public and 1t is to be hoped
that no serious trouble will grow out OF Wall street
difficulties. Still it is tn part OF WISDOM while
hoping for the BEST to prepare for the worst; hence
the extreme caution which characterizes most Of
the mercantile transactions at the present time. On
Change to-day cotton was quiet -four was dull low
er and nominal. Wheat remained duh, but without
noteworthy change. Corn was fairly active and
6rmer. Oats were comparatively quiet Provisions
were again firmer, especially Pork. which adj
vanced Lard was armer under q moderate in
curry. Whiskey was off &c. per gallon. Groceries
remained quiet, and not materially altered in price,
Petroleum was nominally unchanged Naval stores
quiet and easier for both spirits and rosn East India
goods continued duh Wool in fair demand with the
market ruling about steady.
