PARIS. Saturday Evening, February u.
REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
Snow and intense cold have prevailed dur
ing the week 1t is Impossible as yet to tel
what effect this prolongaton Of winter will have
on the crops. Most OF our correspondents
speak hopefully; thus out of - advices from all
parts of the country, only nine complaino
harm done or of near prospect OF damage.
In consequence Of the roads being blocked
by snow, the greater number of the provincial
markets have been poorly supplied. An ad-
vance has taken place on 81 markets: this is in
part due to the deficient supply, and IN part
to the demand for seed-wheat, and the rise at
Paris Flour has realized an increase OF soc. to
If for good marks. Barley has been in request
for seed at 2Of. to 2if. soc. per quintai..
At the ports rates have been steady. with an
upward tendency. The arrivals at Marseilles
have been checked by the bad weather, and
amount to only 9,Sal qulntals; sales ~, $40
qGintals; stock 366.D4O quintals. Spain has
again purchased considerable lots, as also
Switzerland. There are six vessels en- route to
Marseiles from the Dardanelles. No change
mas occurred at Bordeaux. Nantes, calm at the
commencement OF the week, is now 1irmer. ui-
der the influence Of the advance at Paris.
Wheat at Rome is selling at SOC more, and flour
has gone up 6oc.

rates; the feeling with respect to intermediate
qualities remaining unchanged. Flour has mad
rather more tone, but as the principal dealers
