the globe. Our marine list denotes several arrivals
from above, and there is no lack from sea. There
is not a shadow of doubt but what we shall have
sufficient shipping in port, through the season. to
meet the full requirements of the great West;
Dealers traders and residents, in that
prolific region can send forward their corn wheat,
and provisions in general. Shipments can be made
hither with many advantages that is. if our market
will not command satisfactory returns, the produce
can be forwarded to any part of the world, and at
less cost than from any Northern market. More
over it must not be overlooked that sales made
here for cash. There very few accounts Of
sales emanatng from New Orleans with long string
of charges for storage, labor, cooperage, fire in
surance, guarantee commission and tro per cent.
Oft for cash. We can, with the greatest safety,
recommend to the great West producers, regular
traders, 1--WE do not vouch for speculaton), if they
desire to realize good and cash market, to send
their produce to New Orleans. If there should
such an event that it could not be sold here,
the advantages prospects of distant markets can
be considered, and the produce forwarded. We
have frequently talked Of the superior advantages
of the New Orleans market. For instance, if
party wanting one hundred hogsheads sugar or
thousand barrels of molasses, more or less should
go the depot and intimate to the gimlet rangers
that !" lille tnne,'' Or credit, would expedite the
sale, he would be regarded as something OF sub
ject for the State Asylum at Jackson-that Is,
actually insane-and yet we have accounts OF sales
of Louisiana sugar made in New York and Boston
on four and six months credit In fact we have
accounts of sale in Boston of the moderate guam
tity of sixteen hogsheads of New Orleans sugar at
seven cents, four mouths credit. We have also
accounts of sales of pork and lard in Boston and
New York on four months credit. The talk is,
what would our merchants on Tchoupitoulas, Poy-
dras, Fulton and New Levee streets, think of a
dealer asking them for four months time? He
would be regarded as a subject for a straight
jacket. The talk, however, is, that all Western
| producers, as well as dealers and traders in pro
visions and breadstufs, are by this time informed
that the New Orleans market is tile only real cash
market this continent. Even in the Havana
market, where it has been the custom to present q
bill in one hand and the other opened for the
money, there have been sales of provisions OF
| credit. We have, therefore, no scruples for as
| serting that our market is the real and only casl
| market on this continent, and offers superior ad
vantages to any other.
We have received from New York inquiries re
garding the extent of the damage the cotton crol
received from the fross of the Goth, Both and 3ls
| October. These inquiries made to subserve, j
is supposed, certain interests. The frosts of thes
dates have not affected the general estimates 0
four million to four million and quarter of bales
But there is no doubt that the yield, which wou
have been greater, has been curtailed; that
good deal of cotton which was rapidly ripen
ing on the overfowed lands, at the dates oct
and 3Oth October has been cut off; that in a
l.I.4.. ;&tIo
few bolls left for the frost of the 18th Noven
ber to kill. Nevertheless, there will be som
cotton realized from the submerged or overflowe
lands. AS regards the actual presumed re
suits we have not heard Of any talk less tina
1000, 900 bales,
The further talk was of the very large losses trol
shpwreck, and other maritime casualties, durn
the present month, November. We have befor
us the names of twelve vessels, the aggregate vau
5 of which, and cargoes sums up two millions an
three hundred thousand dollars There are otht
, vessels to be heard from. Among the losses al
six vessels loaded with cotton, and future loss,
monthly will be taken into view as something
1 more than ordinary nature.
