1t was generally very quiet yesterday. There was
a marked heaviness in the cotton market Buyers for
the English market will enter the market freely at
Decline so as not to have to pay II and II cents
for middng. There are some Spanish vessels in port,
which came here for cotton for Spain, which, with
purchases tor northern factories and little for
France, serve to keep the market from real dullness
Buyers for the English market keep aIoof-that is,
there are only few purchases for Liverpool The
Asias advlces to the 18th fully due. 1t appears
that lately there has been great falling off in the
speed of the Liverpool steamers in both the Collins
and Cunard line, as neither has accomplished any
short passages for months past.
The arrivals of steamboats, yesterday were fair
Those with cotton were the Fanny Fern from Shreye
port, with 557 bales; Ingomar, from Memphis 2,7O7:
Bella Dona from Stamps Landing, 500: Delaware,
7sG r. W. Powell, from Vicksburg, ,89l R. W.
McI2ae, 1927, and by the jackson Railroad 13J.
Total, . 407 bales.
There is considerable activity on the levee at the
steamboat landing though the upper rivers continue
at low stage. There are heavy shipments Of mer
chandise. There reports of another rise in upper
Red river, which, if true, will increase the receipts Of
cotton from that section Of the country There is no
desire to hold back cotton for higher prices it will
be forwarded to market with all speed.
Expectations are on tiptoe regarding the new line
Of French steamships intended torun between this port
and avre. The Francois Arago, the first Of the line
sailed from HaVre on the 30th Of last month via two of
the French West India ports This is undoubtedly the
cause Of her heightened trip The .Arago will be fol-
lowed by the Briliante and she will be succeeded by
third steamer, which will compose the line. This
enterprise ought to be encouraged, and we hope it
will meet sufficient patronage to keep the line in
operation. There will always be sufficient freight to
load them for nine months in the year, and possibly
for the entire twelve months, should breadstuts
tinue to be in request in France As for passengers
the line will secure the greater part of the travelling
from the West to France, Germany, and other points
of the continent and our citizens will give it
a preference instead of going via New York We
learn that landing wharf has been secured in the
Third District for these steamers and the denizcns
Of that district are highly delighted with the expected
increase Of business through these steamers We
trust the trade of the entire city and the great South
west will receive great benefit thereby.
