fons IN cotton the quotations for Middling Orleans
4 being nd Manchester advices are represented as
being uufayorable in what way is not understood.
With good demand for goods and yarns, it hardly
possible that il three days there should be any de.
nonstrative change to the effect reported There was
not much activity perceivable yesterday. The talk
was Of the fine weather and the rapid progress the
sugar planters are making the weather favors them,
and large receipts OF the saecharne article are ex-
pected during the coming thirty days In the mean
time, there cannot be any active demand, owing to
the impedments TO navigation in the Ohio river.
Some Of the new crop sugar has already been received
in ST. Louis and with the present stage of water the
communication can be maintained, which, with the
demand for early shipments for the Southern Atlantic
markets, will cause an active business next month,
| as soon as the stocks are increased.
The receipts Of cotton yesterday were by the
Natchez, from Yieksburg, 032 bales D. r. Carroll
from Yicksburg, I,Sl4; Kate Dale, from Ouaehtta,
273 Falls City, from Alexandria, SS5; swon, So
jackson Railroad, 965-total, 565 bales Receipts
for corresponding day last year were 1851 bales, Of
which Ia were from above Natchitoches on Red
river.
The gimlet rangers are falling into rank and
preparing for the good time coming. The talk is,
there will be ample room on the landing this season
will be such as to obvate the general complaint The
Opelousas Railroad isexpected to be in running order
through to Berwcks Bay in the course Of ten days or
less. By that time the authorities of those villages on
the Bayou Teche will it is presumed, have abrogated
their quarantine regulations, In aluson to quaran-
tine regulations, we have another evidence Of their
absurdity. The passengers by the steamer Cahawba,
hence for NewYork the last trip, were after some de-
tenon allowed to enter that city after their baggage
and general apparel had been iumigated and trunks
and bags ventilated. Now, how did the Cahawba APP
pear with crinone, hoops, pantaloons, coats etc,
hanging about the rigging under process of airing
At the time visitors from this city who went on
the railroad via Jackson and Memphis, reached New
York in days entered the city by railway with
out their baggage being interrupted nor the author
ties of the city any wiser We have not heard of any
yellow fever being caused by the immediate entry of
those travellers into that city They could be seen any
time at the Astor House, St. Nicholas Metropolitan
and other hotels daily We shall continue to hear Of
the exactions and extortions of the Quarantine Sta
ton New York. One vessel was charged SlG9 for
lghterage and labor, when the regular charge should
have been only $40 so. If such charge as this had
been made in this city, we should never have heard
the last Of it, The talk is, that shipping charges are
about as reasonable in New Orleans as in any other
place. In the meantime vessels are coming hither in
great numbers which is proof positive that the
owners are satisfied. We hope they may realize
good business, and If freights advance to d, we shall
be pleased to chronicle the fact as at that price and
no return freights, living business can be realized
and perhaps something over for repairs but at 3D.
and no return freight both ends can hardly be made
to meet
The talk is, the fever is gradually on the decline.
of this there is no doubt There is no appearance of
frost, and we shall be able to get along without IT,
as we have in former seasons though frost would
be very desirable yet we are willing the fever Should
take leave Of us without it,
The next steamer from Liverpool will probably be
the AngIoSaxon, of the Canadian line Of the eth,
due at Quebec on Monday The next Cunayd steamer
will be the Europa for Boston on the 9th
The Northern mail yesterday brought Boston aud
New York dates Of the 9TH The weather yesterday
was remarkably pleasant, with the wind nclianr to
the South, to which point if it should change for
few days, the health of the city would greatly i'm
prove.

position in the commercial and we may add political
