A Snow Storm Almost. —The at
tempt on the part of the clerk of the
weather, on yesterday, to gel up an imita
tion of the snow et,,rnt which the tele
graph tells us has been raging at the
North for the las*, few days, was a dis
agreeable failure. About 12 o’clock it
commenced snowing in real Korean
style —the soft feathery flakes floated in
the freezing wind, and in an hour or
two the boys began to pelt each other
with a dirty mixture of mud and water,
and called ii snow-balling; hut soon
the snow flakes stiffened into sleet, and
sunk away into a chilling drizzle, which
bids fair to last till morning.
i Mb ‘ •**" y ‘ is - Watkins.—The Macon
i l ,n I ,pr » ‘••‘ter in very complimentary terms
to the representations recently given in
that city by* the sterling company in
which Mr. and Mrs. Watkins are the
leading performers. A benefit was ten
dored them on Friday night. They
open at. Concert Ila 1 to-morrow night,
when our citizens will have an opportu
nity of witnessing their rendition of
a number of pieces which have been
performed by them with great success
to this Country and Europe.
Times.—For several days the
G’ltv has been exceedingly quiet. The
festivities '"-Went to Christmas were
succeeded by sharp, disagreeable
weather, which has produced a general
pr -ference lor the quiet enjoyments of
home, to those public diversions inci
dent to the season. The home-staying
bubit of our citizens, and the absence
of visitors from the country, have
rendered the City peculiarly quiet. We
have missed the happy groupes of
colored people, who in the olden time
enlivened city and country up to the
close ol the holiday period,and contribu
ted no little to the thrift of trade, in the
liberal diffusion of their small change
among the merchants. Alas, that free
dom should bring with it that depress
ing sense of impeeuniosity which weighs
down the spirits of the white and black
alike, and is the ruling cause of the
prevailing dullness.
Ihe Election.—The election for
Judge of the Superior Court of the
Middle Circuit takes place on Wednes
day next, January 2d. The candidates
are Judge Janies S. Hook, the present
incumbent, and Hon. William Gibson.
1 liev are both gentlemen of excellent
social qualities and judicial experience.
Judge Gibson is a resident of our
City, and is very popular, both as a
civilian and as a military leader. His
Senatorial term of office has expired,
and if electe 1 to the Judgeship he will
not hold the office of Recorder; so that
there need he no objection to him on
account of holding a multiplicity „f
offices. lie will hold but the one. We
say this much in justice to .Judge Gib
son, and leave him with his friends, who,
we are sure, will use every honorable
exertion to elect him.
Quiet Times.-—For several days the
City lias been exceedingly quiet. The
festivities incident to Christinas were
succeeded by sharp, disagreeable weath
er, which has induced a general prefer
ence for the quiet enjoyments of time to
those public diversions incident to the
season. The home staying habit of our
citizens, and the absence of visitors
from file country, have rendered the
City peculiarly quiet. We have missed
the happy gr ups of colored people who,
in the olden time, enlivened city and
county up to the close of tho holiday
period, and contributed no little to tho
thrift of tra’e in the liberal diffusion of
their small change among the merchants.
Alas that freedom should bring with it
that depressing sense of impeeuniosity
which weighs down tho spirit of the
vvnite and black alike, and is the ruling
cause of the prevailing dullness.

REMARKS.
When wo clo*e i uur lust weekly review, busi
nesu was quite brisk under the influence of the
Christmas trade ; but as usual at the close of the
year after the demand of the season has been
tilled, everything has slacked oft', and but very
Pule trade has been done. The stocks are some
what reduced, and there is a better feeling in pro
visions, without much visible improvement in
prices.
It will be observed that there are really very few
alterations in prices, but in the compilation of
these Prices Current, we have endeavored, so far
as possible, to base our quotations on actual sales,
and having carefully reviewed the market, we
feel that we can confidently refer you to the table*
It should be borne in mind that out flo
tations represent wholesale prices. Small bills , to
Planters and others, are filled at a shade higher
rates.
Currency remains very stringent, and Securities
(except strictly first-class) have beeu exceedingly
dull of sale.
Tho demand for all classes of Bonds, Stocks, and
Uncurrent Bunk Notes is but nominal, and we note
n considerable decline, and refer to table for full
particulars.
Specie has again met with a heavy decline, and
transactions remain very limited.
When we close our report the following are
Brokers’ rates:
Gold, buying 1 30
Gold, selling i 35
Silver, buying 1 30

PROVISIONS.
BACON.—The stocks have been so much reduced
that they are now very small. There is an im
proved feeling in the market, and we note an
advance in prices. Wc quote Shoulders at 13®
13'*c.; B. H. Sides, 14©14kc. ; C. R. Sides, 15®
15 J^c.; Clear Sides, 15^£fcl>16c.; Hams, plain,
18© 20c.; Canvassed, 22©>25c.; Choice, 25®28c ;
Country, 20©25c. it will be noticed that there is
no change in the price of Ham. The figures given
are entirely nominal, as there is really no sale for
Hams.
BUTTER—Remains sternly and stiff, at figures
given: Goshen, 4©<3»soc per lb.; Western, 30 @ 35c.;
Country, 35c. The supply is ample, with fair
inquiry.
CHEESE.—The inquiry has been good, ami the
stock is ample. Figures are the same, viz.:
Factory, 20@22c. per lb.; State, 18@20c ; English
Dairy, 243>26c.
FLOUR—The stock of Northern and Western
Flour is still quite limited. A strictly good
article is very scarce in the market. There has
been no perceptible change this week. Flour
remains stiff at figures given.
RUCKW HEAT.—The supply has improved, and
prices favor buyers. We quote whole barrels at
*l2 50@13 00.
SUGAR.—'There has been no perceptible change,
but prices are stiff at figures given.
LARI) Remains the same as last week. Stock
limited. We quote: !*rime Leaf (bids), 13@15c.

12>i@l3c. Prices firm.
„ GRAIN.
COHN.— I The supply on sale in this city is now
quite limited and the demand improved. It will be

We quote: Maryland White, $1 f»0@l 65; West
ern White, SI 60; Yellow, #1 60; Mixed, #1 55.
OATS—Are steady; the stock is light, and they
are often asked for. Prices range: $1
per bushel.
HAY—Continues to be asked after, and is very
scarce. Quotations remain unchanged, viz:
Northern, $225; Eastern, $250.
WHEAT—Cannot be had except for seed. A
choice article will quickly bring higher figures
than those quoted.
SUNDRIES.
DIG GS,—There has been much I:T*' manifested
in this branch of trade during the week, but wo
.have no changes of note in the price of goods to
chronicle.
DRY GOODS.--After av,• k•> •?. ■ ~j
briskness, the trade seems to havu . !lC .piite
stagnant.
