Remarks. —We have few changes to make in the quotations 
of our price current, and these few are unimportant. The news 
per Cambria, of the heavy Mi in prioes of Flour and Grain in 
Europe, had but a slight eflect on our market the day after her 
arrival, and this has already been fully recovered. The home 
demand being nearly equal to the supply, there is little fear of 
prices ruling much lower than at present, let the harvest be ever 
so abundant abroad; but if bad weather should set in, prices 
of grain would materially advance. 
Money is very plenty and business uncommonly active. 
The Weather was too wet during the fore part of last month at 
the South, and the cotton crop has consequently suffered some¬ 
what. The Corn-crop there is already secured, and proves the 
largest ever raised in that section of the country. Other South¬ 
ern products are doing finely. Everything has been well harvest¬ 
ed at the North, with the exception of oats, which were injured 
more or less by the rain. The corn and root-crops continue to 
look remarkably well, and a fortnight hence, if the weather con¬ 
tinues favorable, they will be perfectly matured and out of danger.
