March Iii, 1851.
A light shower of rain fell at daylight this
morning, followed by n cool north wind dur
Ing the day. II felt, smelled, looked, tasted
like ahaf norther, and may YET turn ont that
kind OF sermon. Lots OF people said "our
irult 10 gone up as usual" Hardly. The
mercury ia many degrees above the frost point
at this writing, but there Ia no telling where
1t will DO on the morrow
Trade didn't PICK up worth
cent to-day. II was fully rs dull
as yesterday. But we muot expect sleepy
streaks 10 come along occasionally They arc
In the nature of commerce with no point or
establishment holding a season ticket, good for
every day. Houses literally supplied with
active dfumners come the highest 10 having
no dull days. There IL nothing like pushing
Trade, going for 1t with samples, prices and
bras'. Would youput IN electric lamp under
bushel?
Tho chief cause In tho depression OF
trade Is the foil and fiat condition OF
cotton. To this staple production we look
and lean upon for revenue, and when II gets
sick II dampens the ard0r Of all manner Of
business. II Ia true tho bulk of the crop is In
our pockets, but still the reduced price and
downward tendency influence and weaken
the sp rit OF traffic.
Az announced elsewhere, twelve miles
ofthe Texas Trunk railway hss been com
pleted. Iron enou ,l is en- route from Calves
