And see the wondrous sight
The ticket-holder was achap

Nov. &c.
Al the close of the week, to-day, New Orleans
FREIGHTs were lower, boats taking flour at zoe
per barrel, and weight freight at 35c per 100
pounds-oiierine some inducements for shippers
TO operate, which they did, 10 some extent, in
oats, corn and hay. Considerable hay, bran, on
IONS, rope, and some pork and beef are now ship
ped South. We have had couple Of days rain,
which it is hoped viii help TO raise all The upper
rivers and bring in the produce, by Lowering the
freights. Al present it is almost impossible TO
get produce from Minnesota, and other up-riVer
countries, account of the freight taking off all
the profits.
The GRoc cry market has been comparatively
small this week, owing to small stocks and high
prices. The news from New Orleans discourases
dealers. In view of the high prices prevailing
there, they see nothing in the trade that promises
well. The New Orleans papers estimate the
damage TO the sugar crop by the late frost al
1000 hhds, and it is now said that the produce,
instead of reaching 325, 900 hhds, will not exceed
225 900 and may not be over 200 900. Under this
state of things short crop prices have been estab
lished at New Orleans, where the market is much
excited. For the three days ending Saturday,
10Th, $4,000 hhds sugar, and $4,000 brls molasses
sold, closing at A. for the latter, and 7s@7s for
fair sugar.
The TOBACCO market has been steady, with
sales during the week of some St hhGs, mostly on
private terms. LEAD has also been steady, with
sales of some 5000 pigs Northern, first Of the
week, at SIS 20 per 100 lbs, TIA pigs Mine La
Motto, Thursday, al s. 10, and to-day's sales of
772 Galena and $50 Missouri at SIS 20. Prime
HEMP sold Wednesday at sll2, but at the close it
is firm and better, with good demand; some
s00094O00 bis IN store. The FLOUR market has
been dull, with decline of l5c per Dbl this week,
for want Of shipping margin to New Orleans; city
superfne closes at 81 rs. WHEAT has been dull
for the same reason, and all grades have declined
