the consequence is that We in this section
are suffering q visitation of the most per-
slsten,ly dissgreeable and unchanging
weather on record.
The sun for the past throe days has no!
has not shown his face and the rain has at
times como down in floods, with an occs-
sional "smar, sprinkling' Of heavy ,hun.
der and keen tightening.
The general features Of the market are
Neutrality-suspicious. branches are very quis,
while others are excited.
Tho scarcity in receipts of corn keeps
the market bare and prices firm and high.
The shipping demand Is small, but the
order trade has swept the city and the sup
ply ia still very mucn short ofthe demand.
Other branches of trade such as -four, oats,
meal butter and groceries are unchanged
The Ohio river rose seventeen inches
Yesterday and is nearly bank full and sull
rising.
