Inc severe ana unreasonable cold
spell Of yesterday and the day before,
extending all over the South to the
shores Of the guilt and eastward to the
Atlantic coast, was the leading theme
in business circles yesterday and to-
day. The mercury dropped to 4lo
here and went as low as 280 at several
points within hundred miles of this.
Its effect on tender young cotton can
not be otherwise than injurious, but
the extent OF the blight cannot as set
be estimated. Heavy frosts and snow
in several localities north OF the Ohio
river. mainly over Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio, which region appeared to
be the center of the cold area, has been
damaging to growing crops, and 1t has
also caused an unsettled feeling
in trade circles. On yesterday a
rather irregular tone ruled in meats at
the principal points Of supply, and in
some markets an advance occurred,
but at the close last evening lower
values prevailed aAd the tone was
generally droopY. In grain and bread
stuffS the feeling is mainly in buyers
favor. No important variations trans
pred here On any article, The vol
