New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1856-03-13

In -four, twill be perceived, there is an increase
over last year, but deficiency from the year previ
GUS This is owing to the Interruption of navigation,
which has now been Of sixty days duration. Corn
has increased over last year threefod aud over the
year previous fifty per cent. The most important
feature in cereals sthe greatincrease in wheat which
shows one million four hundred thousand bushels for
thsseason against twelve thousand bushels lastyear
and two hundred thousand bushels the year previous
oatstlere is an increase over last year Of nearly
one hundred per cent, and although oats may be
called BY some an Insignificant article yet the esti
mated value Of the receipts this season are over four
hundred thousand dollars and may reach one million
of dollars ere the close Thegreat increase in wheat
fact that it is more desirable for foreign
expectation being manufactured in tile countries to
which it is exported, and higher standard givento
the -four, much more satisfactory than most Of the
inspection laws of many parts this country confer.
Though there has never been any complaint against
inspection of New Orleans, New York inspection has

In otherartieles of Western produce there is also
great increase, particularly inbacon and bulk meat

will be the extent Of the receipts before the close of
the seasons We have not yet got into the real merits

densome kind on the way here there is reason to-
doubt Int what facilities for transportation will re-
main at living rates through the season. just at this
moment stiffening aspect marks the course Of the
freight market, but it may be considered only
momentary. 1t should be taken in view that the
stock of the most bulky article of freight, cotton
is one hundred thousand bales less than in the prolific
season of 80 and 53 and that there are fifty more
vessels in port than at the same time in the above
named years. But how much the receipts of cotton
will this season exceed that of those years, is ques

estimates on this absorbing topic of the times, we
have no desire to add to the quantity by giving our
views morein detail.
It is conceded that there will be great deficiency
in the product of sugar, but we have not been fur
finished with any evidence that shows there will not

and the yearprcvious, and at this present time the
