evening aud heavy fall of snow during
the night covered the ground to the depth
of at least six inches this il thought to
be the deepest ever known in this section.

disappearing, leaving in its place mud.
slush and intensely disagrecablc streets.
The river is big. but about on stand
still to-day. Timid people are.bccinning
to experience the annual Spring scare,

articles are steady and firm, and values
unchanged. Stocks OF corn and hay are
very light. Oats are plenty for the de-
mand. Flour rules as usual. quiet and |
easy, Provisions rule quiet and UNI
changed, with nothing doing in a sprcu-
lative way. and only light order trade.
