Remarks. —We have few alterations to make in our Price Cur¬ 
rent this month. Pearl ashes have advanced about 75 cents, 
Flour cts , Wheat 5 cents, Corn has fallen 5 cents, Barley 
and Rye nearly the same. The market is very active, and large 
shipments of produce are continually going forward. The famine 
still continues in Europe. 
Money is abundant. Large importations of specie are made by 
every steamer. 
The Weather, though mild and open here, continues cold north 
and west of us. In consequence of the open winter, wheat has 
suffered materially, and present appearances are not favorable 
fora large crop. We hear some complaints of the worm among 
the Cotton. An unusual breadth of land is being planted in Cot¬ 
ton, Corn, Rice, and Sugar. If the country is favored with tole¬ 
rable weather, the product of these great staple articles will be 
very large the coming season. __
