The business between this port and the United States has
been exceedingly dull during the past six months This is
mainly attributable the failure OF the wine for several
successive years The number Of American vessels arrived
here with cargoes larger than during the corresponding
six months OF last year and the imports from the United
Statesprincpay tobacco cotton, sayes, and whiskey
also somewhat larger but there Is return freight and
consequently numbers have been compelled to leave In bal

The prospects for the wine crop much better than
this last year The vines have bosomed and should

would be than double what il was in 1854.

learn there will be average crop this part Of
The floods destroyed great deal in the river bottoms
and the continued and cold weather throughout
the month Of June have greatly injured the grain In this
neighborhood.
The high prices of provisions that have ruled during the
