Notwithstanding the most active season of the year, business continues in the same dull lethargic state as last advised; but demand, no doubt, is still greatly checked by the ttled condition of the country and the ation of trade generally throughout the Latest advices from the North are, very encouraging and point to an early brisk revival of the trade.
