GENERAL REMARKS.

tlnues uhchenBeoi anu we WINK Tue re-
marks Of last week In the Price Current
are so we'll adapted to today that We 70.
peat them without change.
The market presents = gloomy aud dis-
hesrtening aspect. There is nothing do
ing In any Of its branches. Large con-
signments Of grain and sour have been re-
ceivsd, on which consignen are asking I'D.
vauccs that consigpees decline TO make.
Stocks OF oil kinda are accumula,ipg and
buyers may be said to be al on. of the
market. Sellers are willing in many csses
TO make concessions to effect cash sAles
and do not feel snIious to make sales tor
anything but cash.
Finances stand a. they have since the
commencement Of the panic. Times are
a. hard and rates as high A. they have
been as any time at New Orleans, with no
indications Of any improvement soon.
Prices there rules high with . steady mar.
kst but no money, and spectators do not
care to take the risk Of making shipments.
Our merchants continue to receive orders
but decline TO all them in nearly all cases
excep. for cash on delivery.
Correspor dents are advised TO hold
shipments Of ell kinda for the present.
A few car loads Of choice white corn
might be sold to-day, but it would take
very little to over-stock the market.
