testimony arrived at, by which the notes will be pro

has been beforsamed in this paper. On this evidence,
a warrant was leaned for the re-arrest of Charles Botts

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.
