TUESDAY MORNING. APRIL 2e, 1859.



CREscEsr office, No. 10 Camp street, Z,
In money circles the week opens very auietlv
Some twelve months paper was placed through the
discount brokers at the rate Of get There were
also negotiations of November and December securi
ties at the rate Of yet. Some parties say they can
get as much satisfactory paper they desire at the
rate Of get The market is, however, well supplied
at from 1903 yet. The calls or offerings at the banks
range with the income, and though the banks can do
more, there is no occasion for them to expand.
The accounts from all places on the Mississippi
river, from the mouth Of Arkansas river to Natchez
are somewhat alarming for the river parishes It is
impossible to realize how many thousands of acres of
cotton lands are now being oyerfowed. Many re-
ports are doubtless exaggerated yet what comes to
hand and dissected of gloomy nature. OF course
the cotton Bulls will understand how to move but
whether our transatlantic customers can be prevail
ed on to give credence to nundaton and the reported
deficiency in cotton thereby, is another question
They were credited last season, but the sequel of
larger crop of cotton than was ever before raised
will cause great doubts to arise regarding the extent
| Of damage from water.
There was considerable done in exchange to-day
The counter rate for checks on New York was par :;
outside double AL drawers sold at tth dis to par
good to fair sight s@3l6 and dis. Ten days sight
at dis, twenty days sight at dis, and sixty days
sight at lDla@ll@ll dis, extreme ranges being
from lgl3 y cent dis the operations very fair for
Monday. In sterling the dealers were buying clear
bills at lo9}@1osl up to 1881. For remittance the
figures ruled from 1923 @l09l the latter figures an
extreme rate In francs there was not much doing,
Some small sums were taken for remittance at Is
@5 l32, private bankers selling at III and I2s
The banks sold sixty days on Paris direct at O73
and III. The bank balances of exchange, accord
ing to the last statement exceed ten millions Of dol
lars, which is a higher notch than ever before
known.
The stock market was quiet to-day. We only heard
of the sale Of Sc shares of Bank of New Orleans at
1861, and $4,000 first mortgage bonds of the One
lousas Railroad at s34 and interest. We notice an
advance in Leyee Steam Cotton Press to 96 and 81.
The buildings Of the company destroyed by the late
fire fully insured There were some sales of in
surance scrip to-day at the rates of last week.

Notice has only been taken of gross frauds. Many
cases of petty fraud have been observed not noted
1t supposed instead of SO bales being false packed
as expressed above, there might have been 159 or
more out of the last opened.
1t is about time this nearous business was check
ed. The sellers cannot identify the planters mark
nor the gin from whence the cotton came The cot
ton which included the above 50 bales was purchased
from nineteen different factors 1t is presumed that
as soon as they are notified they will honoraby and
promptly respond to all demands for reclamation
They will do this for the credit and character of the
cotton trade Of New Orleans.
The settlement of the difficulties of the rival parties
in the Southern Pacific Railroad has undoubtedly
called the stock into notice. as will appear by the fol-
lowing communication
