OFFICE OF PITTSBURGH GAZETTE, .FR/DA.Y, Feb. 26, 1869, The market was panicky, and, to use • a common expression, a little sick to day, and, compared with yesterday, pri ces are lower. There are various causes assigned for the present reaction, the most prominent of which is the fact that according to the latest circulars from Philadelphia, there are but three ves sels loading in that port, showing that demand for export is very light, and, in addition, tue supply is accumulating. It is said that exporters cannot and will not pay the present prices, as 57 frantis at Antwerp is equal to abont 33 eta. in Philadelphia, and the demarid for spec tilatorascems to have subsided •for the present—it i 7 a rare thing to see sPeen lators buy on a decilning,market. There are those, however,. who contend that this whole thing is the result of a strong and vigerous bear, movement—brought about by parties who are largely short, and whose interest, of course, is to break 'the market as baldly: as possible.

The. defendant's first answer claimed that the whole country was so overflown that it was impossible for the pilot to tell which was the true channel of White river, and that, therefore, the going into the cut-off was unavoidable. In their second answer they,contend that they were driven into the cut-off by wind and Current. The 'evidence for the plain- Hewes all heard, and a portion of the testimony for the defendants was heard. • River and Weather LOUISVILLE, Febinary Z.—Elver fall ing; eight feet six inches of water in the canal.
