There is no change to announce in
business ofany description, unless it be that
it is more quiet than last week. Not even
the Holiday squirt is yet felt, which usu-
ally commences IN some branches of busi-
ness about a fortnight before Christmas,
and continues until near the end Of Janu-
ary. There are some transactions in fancy
goods, but nothing like there should be,
The retailers say their toys and goods
suitable for the season go of slow, and
the animation observed this time last
year does not now exist.
In conversing with several Of our
merchants as to the state of trade with
the country dealers, they say that there
is large quantity of tutflying along our
river and the Northwestern road ready for
shipment, but it is held because they (the
Dealers cannot handle it without loss,
therefore are holding over for brighter
prospect.
Flour continues dull.
The supply of wheat brought to the
city is fully up to the demand
of the mills, and more than they
are turning into flour.

last week, and are cent or two higher.
