over Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky
and the South generally, between the
Mississippi and the Atlantic, driving
the temperature down to 4lo, and at
many points in this vicinity as low as
38o, appears to have done very little
injury TO crops, cotton excepted. The
latter being an extremely sensitive
and very tender plant, while not
nipped by the light frost hereabouts,
yet has been more or less stunted
The extent of the injury to the young
crop cannot as yet be estimated, as a
spell of warmer and genial weather
would doubtless invigorate and bring
it out OF its present weak and drOopy
state. In prices of leading commodi-
ties but little change is noted to day.
Cornmeal is a shade easier and there
is no great rush for coru, while oats
and all other classes of feed carry a
tone in buyers favor, Flour is un-
changed, but meats are very irregular.
Some dealers vary as much as 10 per
ID in quotations. 1t may be men.

may not like the prices given,
below yet orders can be readily filed
at the figures quoted, and for car load
lots concessions of &c per ID may be
easily secured. The demand for
poultry is Stacking Of, and sales are at
father lower prices for all classes ex-
cept well grown spring Of desirable
description. For eggs the tone is also
varying, some sales were madeaS high
as 1sc per doz, but leading transactions
we're at Isl to Ice. New Tennessee
potatoes have begun to arrive, and
Louisiana new are droopy, while all
classes of Southern vegetables which
have been arriving so freely, are likely
to be crowded outs home productions
are coming on the market. Some new
Tennessee potatoes are selling but the
value is wholly nominal, as they will
not be in merchantable shipping order
