By the Louisiana, we have received our s,es
to the 18th OF May, inclusive. Also, WyIies
Price Current Of the l3,h, and letter from our
Correspondent giving the state OF the market,
10 which we refer those of our readers that are
interested in it.
The Advertiser Of the 10Th says, thirty fiat
boats are lying opposite the city, laden with
thirty thousand bushels Of Indian Corn. The
price was IS cents per barrel or three bushels
and expected TO be lower.
Mr.. Ichabod Woodruff, late Of New-Jersey,
died on the evening Of the 10Th, OF bilious fever.
The Mississippi continued TO rise and was
within inches OF being as high as in 1874
The last season the water did not attain by
inches the height it is now.

Owing to the late more favorable accounts
from England, and reduction in the rate OF
freights, Cotton has advanced in price fully
cent per h. on all qualities, within these five or
six DAYS; and at this improvement fair bust
ness is doing in the cotton yards, principally
for the English markets 1t is the opinion Of
many here that the staple will again fall al least,
if not more than the rise as above; others a.
gain think differently, surprising that the worst
is over in Europe. and thai every arrival here
after during the season, will bring still more
cheering news of general improvement in
tina, quarter. Were we TO Judge, however,
from the present state of things here, we should
suppose reduction in prices is certciaj and
tina; it now will take place in short period of
time The stool: on hand is exceedingly hea-
w, and the quantity got TO come down the ri
yer is extensive. Although freights have ex-
pericnced a Sigh, reduction, they are yet high,
and unless we have an increase Of shipping,
they may be expected to adyasce again. So
sanguine, however, are shippers Of a reduction,
that upwards of 5000 bales are bought, pack
4 ed, and slowed, ready to ship, but not until
their expectations are met by decline in their
rates.

The weather has, for the past week been TX
tremely warm, and has every appearance Of be
coming SO now every day. Strangers begin to
leave the city, and in less than 4 or 5 weeks,
tho greater par, viii have left 1t is almost a
general opinion here, that towards July, Au
grst and September, we shall have sickIy time
Of it. The old enemy the "Yellow Fever" Of
course may be looked for, and all kinds ofdea,hs
shall be attributed TO that synonimous term. We
have had several severe cases Of high bilious
fever among rs lately, which has in some in
stances proved fatal.
