"oUR MEXICAN RELATIONS"

Peace prospects.-Wc understand that mercantile
house of high credit in this city has received letter
from its correspondent in Mexico, stating that an
agent of the Rohschilds had loaned TO the govern
ment at Queretaro 2,OO000O to sustain itself till
the ratification rejection of the Trist treaty by the
United States could be ascerancd. The negotiation
of this loan regarded corroboratng the gene
raj impression that peace would shortly be proclaim
ed. The correspondent alluded to was of the impress.
sion that Gen. Scott had been consulted before the
loan had been made, as it was not deemed probable
such transaction would have taken place unless the
negotator on the part Of the Rohschilds had other
assurances of peace being made than those derived
from rumor, or the spccuations of parties who had
no concern i'll making the treaty.
We have had no cause TO modify our opinions
touching the provisions of the treaty heretofore
developed by us; do see any reasons to doubt
that the United States Government and Senate will
agree to the terms proposed The Government may
feel chagrn at the result Of Mr. Trist's pertinacous
spirit of diplomacy, but will ultimately swallow its
disappointment and California and New Mexico at
the same time. This is our opinion-N. 0. Pic.

Missouri Tobacco Crop.-A merchant writing to
the St. Louis Republican, says:-'I have recently
made tour through of the principal tobacco
growing counties Of Missouri, and had frequent OPP
portunties of examining carefully samples of the
crop now being made ready for market. ! have
also seen many samples Of crops grown in coun-
ties which did not visit and was particular iu my
inquiries of the planters from different parts of the
State, concerning the article. From all and
heard, am led to believe that the crop of tobacco
now in hand in Missouri, is the finest for nanufac-
turing purposes that has been produced in the
State. This appears to me an item of information
of Importance to the manufacturers abroad, and
would be glad if you would publish the facts,
marking that the season for pricing, &C., having
been very favorable, tobacco will find its way to
market this year much earlier than usual-sav in
March and A prl. At that time the market will be
fairly open.

WESTERN LAKE FISHERIES.


Lake Superior abounds with them, and the coming
season many fishing grounds will be cleared and i'm
proved. With this new field and ordinary luck, it
is safe to estimate the packing by another year at

For the Week ending last euentf,g.

For the Week ending last euen,ng.
REMARKS.-1t is difficult to give character TO
the general market since the close Of our last publ
cation The movements of merchants and business
men have been active and every apparent indication
OF considerable business being in progress and yet
the operations do not show up to heavy amount.
The receipts of Produce have been unusually large
by the way of New Orleans, as will be seen by re-
errpg to our department of importations in another
column, or the leading articles which will be found
below and were purchasers justified in taking hold
Of them with spirit, they would probably do were
nncn n new spur indeed would be given to business;
but the prices of many articles, particularly among
Provisions, arc at this time very unsettled-and
many holders are disposed to realize.
XMFRICAN DRY GOODS.-Therc have been
operations this week sufficient to nomnaliy open
the market and the business has been chieny on
Western account-a goodly number Of mercnaa's oe-
ing in the city from the South West and west. -
BEESWAX The market is still with smaii
supply, but amply sufficient for the very limited de-
