March ]. 1875.
\ terrific rain storm passed over this
section last night. The rain fell in tor
rents nearly all night. The weather to-
day has been partially clear, warm and
| pleasant. IN fact March has come IN very
lamb-likc. so we may expect some rough
weather during the month. as it must "go
out like lion to prove the old saying
true.
There I. little or no change la values or
the condition of the market. Everything
i quoted easier, Influenced probably by
the opening Of the river to st. Louis.
The rivers have both risen fast for the
last two days, and heavy rains are send
ing them up still faster to-day.
