GENERAL REMARKS-Dur the past week
there has been no nominal change In the price

In Pork we note nominal improvement in
price of 25@boc D Dbl. The market closed to-
day quiet and firm at $40 in the wholesale trade
dealers jobbing at s12 rs v Dbl.
Bacon continues scarce and has advanced
during the week 4 to 9sc. Shoulders are dull
and unchanged at last weeks prices.
The warlike news from Europe. together
with the large receipts. have caused the Cotton
market during the past week to be very I'M
satisfactory. The general feeling has been
weak, and a decline of 1tc in all grades since
last Friday can be announced. The total sales
of the week amount to 4025o bales, against

steam Barges ms Grain Carriers.

The people engaged in the grain trade on the
Upper Mississippi and the Missouri rivers are
earnestly discussing the merits of steam barges
for transportation purposes, and the conolu-
sion generally arrived at Is that they are prefer
able to the cumbersome and expensive boats
now employed in that trade. We take the fol.
lowing on the subject from the st. Louis Repub-
lican:

It Is true that many Intelligent boatmen think
it would be better to build the bulk grain steam

dryas a dining room need be: aid this is the
manner In which grain is carried on the lakes.
and in canalboats also, to this port by barges
