A WALK ABOUT TOWX.

The past week has been one of great interruption to trade. Rains and floods have cut off railroad truvel and transportation, and even the roads in the country have been impassible, so that buyers from a distance have been liku angels visit9, few and far between. Tho unforseen changes in the crop prospects have put a new phase on all lines of business. Wheat and flour have ad vanced largely and it is confidently believed that there will be an ad wince soon in manufactured articles. Merchants all say that if buyers mi-* tho present opportunities for low prices, they will have reason to regret it, for general advance is inevitable.

Mr. Wyatt is getting a fine reputation in this city for selling better beef than any other of the butchers.
