C LNCINN ATI 'NI ARIC Er.—The Enquirer of -the Nt states that notwithstanding theirmerchants were cher ishing the impression that business would be exces sively dull during the present mouthy:Lehr a lively trade has been kept up se far, and forming an opinion, predicated upon the past three weeks, we feel safe in hazarding the assertion, that there will not be much, if any, depression in business matters until the close of the spring season. The dry goods men are dispos ing of their wares at improved prices. Cotton goods are continually on the rise, and such articles as sold two months ago at their then prices have advanced from fifteen to twenty per cent, to the great astonish ment of old women and lady shoppers. Some articles of the groceries and drugs, have advanced, and the sales of both last week, were large for the season. WHiSKET.—In the eastern matketsfor some months there has been but slight variations in the price, and in the southern markets for three or funr months the prices have ranged from 201 to 221—and for the best article 23 cents have been paid. These causes, of course. affect the market here, and during the same time the article has ranged from 18 to 19 eta. Since the canal has been closed the receipts have been light, the most that arrived coining by the rail road and riv er. The market last week was rather quiet, small sales and smaller shipments being made. The sales closed on Saturday at l 8& cts. , FLOUlt.—The Shipments during the week were small, as well they might he when we take into consid eration that the price of freight added to the price of Flour would exceed the selling p ice at New Orleans, The sales closed on Saturday at $3,70. Mos stv iNlArrarts.—There is very little noise in the money world. There are n few speculators in Illi nois money and scrip, who have been laboring hard to advance the notes, and have partially succeeded. In St. Louis, sales of the State Bank notes have, we I understand, sold us high as 60 cents, and some of the brokers here have offered as high as 70 I,r the scrip. Indiana scrip iv bought by the brokers at 88 cents. Exchange is plenty in the market, nod selling at per cent premium. ARRIVED. Swiftenre. Metcalf.
