ing encouraging in it. There has been
no change from the extreme dullness tba,
re'ghed at the date Of our last issue. un.
less 1t may be to get worse. However,
We will go on, hoping for change, and
congratulate Ourselves that wa are no
worse Oh and in most cases lave q great
advantage over neighboring markets,
Judging from their commercial reports
No business was done this afternoon
81 all, heavy rain set in about noon and
continued without, q moments interval
throughout the balance Of the day, and at
this late hour there Is nothing 10 Indicate
that 1t will not continue for week. We
have reports Of heavy rises in the rivers
above US and tho Ohio is still rising, but
our levees are high and secure and no
danger is apprshended Of an overflow.
The flour and grain market 10 very duh.
There is no speculative demand for any
thing, and orders are few and light
Prices generally hold firm without sale,.
Butter and eggs are more plenty and the
market is easier.
