boom worth talking about. A heavy
feet of produce boats are expected out
of the lower Ohio as soon as the water
is deep enough. Eight heavily laden
steamers are ready to bring full car
goes both from that stream and the
upper rivers. There was but little
done in the local market yesterday;
but to-day greater activity was OBJ
served. The provision market main
tains an active fowling trade, though
the prices are dull. Flour is some

disc a brisk trade is reported. The

improve the produce, game, fish and
poultry markets.
