and threatening rain. but the light show
ers during last night are the first that |
have fallen in this region since last
week.
The telegraph gives account of heavy
rains in all parts Of the country, and
continued rising OF the rivers. The Ohio
il higher at this point than we ever saw
it before at this time of the year. but 1t
will have to crawl up the levee good
many feet to reach high water mark or
cause our citizens any uneasiness. II is
now spreading over the low country OPP
posite Cairo and must rise very slow here
IL at all.
Business rules very quiet In all
branches of trade. In leading articles of
the commission business. there would be
some activity If it were not for lack of
supplies. There is no flour to speak OF
in the market, although the demand is
not 50 active as at the opening of the
week, receipts find ready sale and prices
are firm ut the advance. The corn and
oats market is entirely bare, but there i.
no demand except to ill orders. Butter
is steady, stocks light and prices regular.
Eggs are scarce aud in demand at lOc.
Poultry is unchanged in prices but
young chickens are dragging. Other
| branches noted below.
