The most serious t fleet of the extreme cola weathei south is the practical stop page of traffic by water. This was felt unfavorably most conspicuously at Balti more and favorably, probtbiy, at Birm ingham. Ice in the Ohio and Mississip pi rivers s'opped shipments of l’ittsburg coal, so that export and other require ments font New Orleans and Mobile, present and prospective, have been met at Birmingham with Alabama produce. No boats have left Memphis and Nash ville and trade there, except at points reached by rail, as elsewhere, east and west and south, has been mate rially restricted, isavanuan aud Charles ton report low and unsatisfactory prices for naval stures, due to overproduction, but that the producer and dealer are ar ranging to restrict the output and stiffen prices.

At Augusta the cotton mill prospect is good, but not equal to that of a year ago, owing to higher prices for cotton, while clothes have not advanced in price proportionally. While R chmond’s general trade is of good value the movement oi produce, particu larly tobacco, has been checked by tbe cold weather, while iron, foundries are unable to meet demands from a like cause. Georgia fa'mers, Atlanta wires, are raising more cereals and will continue to have to buy less, while higher prioes for staples and improved financial conditions cause New Orleans merchants to extend credits a little more freelr. PUBLISHED WHAT DUN SAYS. Dun’s i’view says: Tbe volume of do mestic trade continues larger than last year, but exro*V* are decidedly smaller from New York; in ’breo weeks of Jan uary $8,592,861 below t-.6 same weeks last year. As imports are meaawb'.’i® very heavy for two weeks of January, $8,919,130 more than, last year, the pros pects of further gold exports canses no turprse. 'Ihere is much hesitation re garding the action of congress on vari ous measures and the uncertainty about silver purchasis. The repeal prospects of the aDti-option bill and the defeat of the interstate commerce act influenced the markets and trade to some extent. Tnere is also a somewhat general in crease in complaints about collections, al though money at nearly all markets is comparatively easy and in supply ade quate for legitimate demand-. Con fidence regarding the future of business is in all parts of tbe country remarkably strong and general, especially in view of the interest taken in pending measures id congress.
