letter received from highly respectable foreign
house. dated Zacatecas April 10, l649
| Our market is glntted with cotton goods Of low
quality, which are offered at very low rates. and The
tendency is to depess the price of goods OF superior
| quality.
| "Trade continues exceedingly depressed In all IL
branches four mines still in very unsatisfactory
condition and as we ore entirely dependent upon
them, II Is to be feared that we cannot entertain any
hopes of immediate material Improvement"
We have also seen accounts from GuanajuatO re-
presenting the trade in very depressed state owing
10 the great influx OF American goods. The Mines
however, represented TO be yielding largely, and
In this particular il differs from all the interior min
ing cities from which we have had accounts
Advices from Monterey and Saltillo represent those
points as having suffered by temporary sagnation
of business the natural result Of the presence of
epidemic. The cholera is rapidly disappearing,
however and revival Of business confidently look
ed for. 3s2
Daniel Wolf, who shot Mr. J. w. Alexander at
Brownsville on the 9th inst, was liberated on bail Of
$4,000.
California emigrants continue toarrive at Browns
willie in great numbers On the 9th inst, company
of California adventures arrived there from New
York. and another from Galveston. They were in
fine spirits, and were soon TO leave, admirably
equipped and prepared for their long journey.
We do not observe word about the cholera at
Brownsville or Matamoras in any Of the papers be-
fore u.s. and therefore presume that the pesience has
entirely disappeared from that region--N. Orleans
