RemarkS-The business of the week past been
extremely limited in all departments of trade, and
the general features of the market the same as
noticed in last review The city is entirely free
from yellow fever and was never more healthy than
at the present time. COttOn-Thc firmncss noticed
in our last has continued throughout the week, and
fair business has been done at full prices. The quo
tatons vary but little from those of last week. and
the market may be said to be firmly established at
those rates. The sales of the week amount in round
numbers to 1000 bales. Our accounts from the grow
ing crop continue to be. in the MAN, of unfavor
able character. The weather has been more favor
ablc-the heavy rains having in measure ceased
and could the Cotton have escaped the worm, there
is no doubt but with favorable weather during the
fall season. fair average crop would be made. But
latest advccS from the interior of this State leave
no doubt in our mind that the much dreaded army
worm, that proved so destructive last year, has made
its appearance in the best Cotton growing sections Of
the country, and have to fear that its raw
ages will be OF serious charactcr.-JotU. Of Com.
New ORLEANs-Saturday night, Aug. II.
Great dizziness has pcrvadcd our market during the
week and the transactions in Cotton, Tobacco, Grain
| Provisions, &c. have been exceeding limited. Va
causes have produced this result, among which
is the limited stock of our staple articles the unta
vorablc English accounts for Brcadsuls brought ou
by the Hibcrna, and the rapid spread of the yellow
! fever, which has now become confirmed epidemic
| Delta.
| CoHOn--It seems that but few orders have beer
received by the steamer, and the sales of the week
only embrace $500 bales Among the receipts are
81 bales netc crop, the first two coming to hand
the 9Th inst from the plantation of Gen. A. G. Car
ter East Feliciana. As regards prices, notice ne
change Tor Lousianas and Missssippis. The &C.
counts as to the growing crop are now more favor
able and it TO be asccrtancd that the genuine
caterpillar has not as yet made its appearance. The
deficiency in the receipts at this port, compared
with last year to the same date, is 1862 bales
1Obacco-Ihc sales since last only amount tc
about 300 hhds the stock sale not exceeding zoe
hhds., which comprise but few lots of the dcScrp-
tons most in request. Only one Or two buyers re-
main in the city, and they are not operating to any
extent. Prices are steady. Exchange Foreign bill,
arc dull, at sG5 per cent. prem. for Sterling, and

sells taken up readily on arrival. During the
week seven ships have been taken for Liverpool al
3D., and there is but little freight of any other de-
scription Offering Coastwse, there is no variation
