NASHVILLE, TENN.-The wealher for
The pusl week has been unusually cold and
disagreeable, until The last two days. On
Thursday night, May ls,, severe and
general frost, which killed vegetation to
more or less extent in every direction.-
The long desired rain came copiously on
Saturday and Sunday. and On Tuesday and
"Wednesday the wealhef was warm and
pleasant.
| Cotton. The mark has been depressed
during the week, and sales have been very
llmiied-more so, perhaps, than Tor any
Other week during The season. and al prices
much lower than The most sanguihe ever
expected, and planters who sold did so very
unwillingly, a. 5I08k. There is greater
disposition on the part of Mere chants to in
YES. at present prices, than we have seen
manifested for some time past. But The
Planters are immoyabe in their determine
lion to hold off for better prices. in which
we think they are ally justified by the DIFF
ference between Liverpool and New Orleans
quotations. We are sanguine in The belief
that an improvement, will lake place between
this and the close of the season. The ex-
ftent Of the improvement, however, will de-
pend ia a great measure upon the damage
done 10 the growing crop By The late frost,
and the amount of the present crop 10 be
sen. forward. The receipts continue unu
sually large for this season, and statistics
show that The crop will exceed in quantity
theIold estimates, and that instead Of being
[shor. it will be an average. "A despatch
from Memphis, Of the Sd, states The increase
up 10 that dale over last year TO be $4,000
bales. The transactions yesterday amount
ed 10 more than for several days previous.
We heard ofseveral small sales which taken
together amount TO about / 40 bales, at s to
81 as exnemes--,he latter figure only being
paid for very fine article.
Groceries. The Grocery Market con-.
tinues active and supplies are ample. The

MEMPHIS, TENN.-Cotton. Remarkably
dull. But few wagons in. and holders OF
the stocks in warehouse only bring forward
lots that planters instruct 10 be sold immed-
ately, and there was but little on the ;narkes.
There is 10 quotiable change in prices, bur
