The Liquor Trade Depressed.
Visits to large importing liquor dealers
and to the whisky dealers, on the Produce
Exchange, reveals the fact that very Sc

expenses. If business does not improve it
is anticipated that large number of them
will retire this spring.

The Log Thieving.
The Times special from New Orleans says
Senator Eustis' speech about the log seizure
is more remarkable for buncombe than ac
curacy. Nobody is rendered homeless ant
penniless by their seizure. The log men

of the Commissioners Court, would nevel
