street and envrons. Summer quietness ruled su.
preme, and the same remark will apply to the local
tiles Of Tchouptoulas, Poydras, New Levee street,
and connections thereof. Showers Of rain fell be.
tween meridian and 3o'clock very freely. There was
some talk in regard to the intelligence brought by
the Nova Scotian. Commercially the advices only
indicate that cotton was steady breadstuffs declining
and as for consos, let them go there are none held
in New Orleans. The political advices can be con.
strued in almost every variety of shapes but the
talk is, that if the Austrians badly beaten and
are retreating, why are reinforcements to the Allied
army ordered from Paris? As time progresses, we
shall know all about the maneuverng and diplomacy,
In the meantime there is talk of the change in
the British Ministry, and the effect it may have on
the cotton trade. Time will reveal this as well as a
great many other things now and then talked Of 1t
IS coDJectured that arrangements are In progress to
sustain and uphold the price and value of cotton SO
that the great losses anticipated can be hwarted It
is hoped the measures proposed will prevent those
navorable results which have attracted the atteu.
tlon and deep thinking of all engaged in and con.
nected with the great cotton trade.
We continue to receive the most cheering accounts
OF the growing crop There Is very little more of the
crop OF 1858 in the country, though it is estimated
there are ten thousand bales detained by low water
on upper Red river and borders.

There have also been shipments of cotton from
Cedar Keys and Tampa Bay Of which no direct ac.
count can be ascertained. The receipts at Milton
have been 1900 bales, and at Pensacola 700 bales
the greater part of which have passed through the
custom House, Pensacola. There were received at
Cincinnati for the week ending the 2lst, mostly
from Memphis, 1904 bales. The total receipts at
cincinnati now reach 1854 bales for the season.
The total shipments from Memphis to St. Louis, and
up the Ohio river will approximate very closely to
$4,000 bales-rather above than under. The talk is.
what are the capacities of the country for the pro-
duction Of cotton? How much can there be raised
with the present labor or working force in the South
and Southwest?
The stocks in the inland towns will be made up to
the 30th inst, in time for issue next Wednesday
with the full shipments from all the river towns. nm

We have, from time to time, had some talk about
Investments in produce, say hreadstuffs and proyis
ons. The following is the result of speculation en-
cred into some few weeks since on the spur of ad.
ices from England denoting brisk demand for pork.
The operator alluded to purchased, it is reported
lalf of the pork in New York. say 40 900 barrels:
leading specuator in the provision trade well.
inoWn as one of the largest boldest operators in the
ountry, has given notice that he will be unable to
1fll his contracts, and has suspended payment.
ie was bound to receive on Saturday, it is said a
arge quantity of pork chiefly prime at about 50 u
bl. above current rates. His assets as generally
omputed, show surplus, independent of these con
racts OF about $50 1000, and it is supposed that he

We have frequently heard Of assumptions and re-
inning after suspension, but we never heard of a
1eculator meeting his obligations after once having
