aIxKRAL REMARKS.


not sccumulating to any groat extent, un.
les, it may be in oats and low grade hay.
Flour is very dull Stocks are large
and order. small. We have At present no
shipping demand At all.
Scarcely anything has been done in cot
ton during the past week. The unsettled
condition Of markets everywhere makes
buyers hesitate 10 tAke hold What 10
most needed now in Cairo for cotton is
compress, in order TO give us
the advantage Of low rates
10 Eastern markets. Wa are
glad 20 sec that the qustion OF a cotton
compres. here is being agi,s,ed among
! our merchants and railroad men and .
cop pAny will undoubtedly be formed and
stock taken for that purpose.
The weather lie delightfully."- pleasant,
neither warm nor cold-just RICH, for bus.
mess and enjoyment, but we are of the
opinion tha. If 1t was colder-cold enough
70 keep the..rivsr closed above us--bu.iness
would be more prosperous, still as COM
pared with other markets we have no rea.
son to complain.
