uKN EnAL REMARKS.

in like lion and goes out like n lamb
and ricc rcrSd, IL the old saying is cor
rect wo may look for some roaring, blus-
tcrng weather before the first of April
for this month has como 10 us in Cairo
lamb-likc in its mccknoss, and spring like
in the soft, balmy freshness of lis atmos-
phcrc and sunshine
Business, wo regret e. chronicle, is
scarcely in keeping with tho weather, bu.
opens dull and liiclcss In nearly all i,s
branches, with disposition to droop in
leading articles. Orders have fallen of,
and the speculative demand / nothing at
all, in grain, hay or flour
Prices arc still quoted unchanged, but
in corn and oats are weak and unsettled.
The demand for corn moal has been
sufficient TO carry of receipts, but lib
oral supply would now overs,ock tho mar
kct. Prices are steady at 3 80, but buyers
will not raise tho figures
Tho rise in tho Ohio Is nearly ovor, and
is scarcely porcoptiblc to-day. Tonnage
is plenty, aud rs,cs South steady and un-
changed.
R-zy" Correspondents should boar in
mind that our quotations represent prices
for round lots from first hands, unless
otherwise stated, and that in hlling small
orders, higher prices must 10 paid. -dM
