CRESCENT OFFICE No 10 Camp street
Saturday, April 2. 1859.
moderate business has been done in our general
market during the past week, with lower prices for
Grain and most kinds of Provisions Cotton was yerv
firm in the early part of the week, but latterly has
been depressed by unfavorable advices from Europe.
Tobacco has met with fair demand, without mater
ial change in prices and Sugar has gone off pretty
freely at an improvement in the rates. Freghts have
been dull latterly with dropping tendency in the
rates.
On Thursday morning we published advices from
Liverpool to the 18th ultmo, per steamship Persia,
reporting downward turn in the Cotton market the
closing rates showing slight decline on all qualities
The sales of the week stated at 40 900 bales the
market closing quiet at 3d. for Fair Orleans and I'D
for Mddling Orleans. The stock at Liverpool was
estimated at 100000 bales, including 10000 Ameri-
can. The accounts from Manchester were less favor
able, the market closing quiet. At Havre the weeks
sales had been $500 bales, with no material change
in prices.
CorroS.. The week opened with very firm but
rather inactive Cotton market and the sales of the
first three days did not exceed 275o0 bales, the Mid

30 long as the water accounts continue, say Gre
vases, breaks and oyerfows, paper depending on
crops from watered sections will be subject to great
crcumspection.
The most important feature to-day in moneyed cir
ces was the general inquiries regarding the losses
sustained by our several insurance companies from
the rather disastrous fire at the Planters Cotton Press
this morning. 1t is use for parties to be making
inquiries, because the loss is well divided and should
it amount to $3.50 900 $500 000 it will be prompt
ly paid. OF course, there will be a momentary de-
preston of scrip. For instance scrip that sold yes
terday at "a cents might not bring over 80 cents to-
day % dollar. There five insurance companies Of
the ten in city interested, either one of which
could pay the entire loss without trouble This five
gives scrip dealers an advantage which they will not
neglect. The entire losses by the two fires which
have occurred this week will not reach $500 900.
The Exchange market was rather quiet than other
wise to-day. The banks sold checks on New York at
t9} PREM Outside Al drawers sold at an 18th prem,
while the rates Of good sight commercial drafts
ranged at par. Sixty days sight was taken by the
banks at IT, with other sales at L. 1t@14 dis sterl

IRENE rates ranging from l0s3@l093, and document
bills from lOs, 1osa@1ost. Francs not wanted only

On Wednesday about 5000 bales were sold before
the Persas advices were made public, after which
nothing was done, and the sales Of Thursday were
confined to about $500 bales, prices being without
quotable alteration. Yesterday some 500 bales
were sold making total for the week Of about 81

our quotations, as follow:
New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1859-04-02
The following are the values of shares and bonds
this evening:

There has been an active business, though small
in uneurrent money. The offerings are equal to those
of any previous season. The sales over the counter
are met by corresponding number of tenders.
There have been several changes during the week. as
VII appear by the table of quotations below.
There have not been any receipts of Mexican dol
lars this week, only in small and struggling sums,
which have been taken freely at 1O5t@105i. Land
warrants are without change. The supply is equva-
lent to the demand. The semisupply of silver coin
from the Brazos st. 1ago is detained by low water.
A vessel arrived to-day from Brazos, the regular
trader Mnna shiffer, but brought no coin. Our IN
derwrers ought not to make the distinction they do
in their rates of premium between sailing vessel
and steamer. A vessel from Tuspan arrived yes
terday brought small amount of specie.
We annex our usual weekly quotations of coin and
uncurrent money being the rates of John Wood cor
ner Of Camp and Common streets:

TOBACCO. .. The demand continues fair, but we
still notice difference in the views of holders and
buyers, which serves to restrict operations. The
sales Of the week have amounted to some 1900 hhds
mostly on private terms, but including the following

The tone Of the Money market is unchanged. It
is good, and likely to continue 30. The war reports
cannot change its course. Our money lenders and
dealers in paper regard the water Of the Mississippi
more than they do the pranks and whims Of those
fellows over the water, called Emperors, Kings,
Princes and so There has been very little change
in rates of interest during the week. There were

In Mountniu,s Eastern Current.


Mr.. La Mountain has also published long
account Of his late balloon voyage. He claims
that at tho height of3OOO feet the balloon struck
the northeastern current, which moved at the
rate Of 25 miles an hour. 1t was of great depth,
as at the height of three and half milcs the
balloon did not lose it, but took still more
easterly course. He thinks that atlan altitude OF
two miles and half he could have crossed the
Atlantic in 36 hours, and without any more bal
last than ia making an ordinary local ascension.
The balloon remained up three and half
miles only half an hour, going almost due east,
and Air. La Mountain says that only when they
left this ever-reIiabIe stratum, and descended
into the local currents, they were carried in a
nOrtherly course. At sun-down the balloon de-
seended to the top of the Clouds on which it
hoated as a ship does on water. Tho mronauts
supposed they were travelling due north at 25
miles an hour, and had not then journeyed more
than 25 miles noTthward of WatertOwn. By
keeping up little while the st. Lawrence would
be crossed, and a landing could be made near
the line of the Grand Trunk Railroad, on the
direct route to Kingston, where the next as
eension was to take place. Opening a valve
and dropping through the pitchy dark clouds,
Mr. La Mountain found his air ship only some
500 feet above the earth and over a dense forest.
He thought it the famous John Brown tract,
kept on, and finally landed in the heart of the
great Canadian wilderness.
