This is the first day Of the new commercial year
in New Orleans and by comparing the present
state Of the city vithts condition at the same time
Inst year, it may be seen how much better our
position now is than ii then was. Last yearwe had
the yellow fever not, to be sure, in its utmost ViFu
lence, bur enough to make US anxious for the fu-
iure. Now there is no yellow fever, and the
health Of the town is, in other respects, remarkably
good. The crops do not promise as much now as
they did last year; to make up for this, however,
prices are better and sales larger The prospects
Of a good business season are bright and already
the city is filing up.
As for ourselves, we shall do our best to answer
the demands of the commercial community We
shall retain our present commercial editor, of whose
merits it lis not for us to speak. Oar readers can
themselves best judge Of his daily and weekly re-
ports, We shall continue our correspondence by
Telegraph, so as to give all the latest commercial
and general intelligence. In a short time we in
tend Publishing q standing table Corrected daily
Of the shipping in port with the location of the diff
feTent vessels, We have employed a person for
that special purpose, and believe that the duty will
be well performed. In all other respects we shall
use our utmost eSertions to meet the wants of this
great commercial metropolis.
We wish our friends good years business, and
if our own increases as it has done for the last year
we shall be quite satisfied.
