The following table will show the movem'
the Stock Exchange during the past month :

The feature Of the week was the strong upward
movement of Friday, when Central advanced two
per cent and the Western shares one per cent all
round. No particular cause has been assigned for
the advance II was due in some measure to heavy
purchases of Central, made through brokers who
were believed to act for the Albany party; partly
to the effect Of the recent debates in the Legisla.
ture, which lead to the belief that no measure will
be passed that is calculated to infict permanent
injury on that property; and partly to the gradual
increase of business in stocks, which Is usual at this
period Of the year. 1t is impossible at the present
time to form an opinion with regard to the future
of the railroad bills before the Legislature. A
toipg bill has passed both houses; but the Senate
bill is nothing like the House bill, and whether the
two bodies viii agree to roll their two bills into
one, which shall be satisfactory TO both Is NOT by
any means clear. The fate Of the Pro Rata bill In
the Senate is still more uncertain-to say nothing
of Its fate at the hands of Gov. Morgan. With snch
Senate and such Governor, anything Is possible,
and the wonder is that George Law and his friends
should have been satisfied with asking the Senate
for all the Streets when he might as well have
asked for all the houses in New York. 1t is proba
bic that some tofing bill will be passed and will
become law. The Central seeks to advance its
rate for way passengers to u cents, and offers
on this condition to pay in three years 100000 TO-

bales, against 1874 900 to same date last year, -
l.99s,O00 to same date OF 1858. Estimates now
vary between 100000 and $500 900 bales. One
leading house predicts q crop OF over A,50O 900
bales; another-whose estimates, by the way, have
been hitherto very wide Of the mark-does not
think the crop will come up to 1900 900, and looks
for falling of in receipts very shortly. We see
no reason for expecting anything Of the kind,
Common sense and the recent advance in negroes
should satisfy every one that the area planted for
1869 was unusually large; the weather, we know,
was favorable; and there Ia no ground for believ-
ing that the entire crop has been hurried to mar
ket There are, no doubt at least threequarters of
million bales of the crop of 1859 yet to come for
ward.
The breadstuffs market has been active through.
out the week, the receipts having been very light,
and the home demand active. There is nothing
doing in either wheat or -four for export, but the
necessities of consumers are causing prices to ad-
vance. In corn there has been no change, the re-
ceipts having been liberal The newsfrom Europe,
though trtle more encouraging than previously,
is still far from realizing the expectations of specu
lators, who expected at this time to see -four SO or
$40 a barrel. The receipts at Chicago last week
we're moderate; the only excess over last year is
In corn, which comes from Southern Illinois.
The stock at Chicago is heavy, and will move for
ward rapidly when navigation opens.
The pork market has been dull throughout the
week, and further decline has taken place, not
withstanding the report Of short crop. Beef is
steady, with fair demand, both from consumers
and for export. Rice is dull, with declining ten
dency. Tobacco is firm

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
SUNDAY, March11, 1860.

SUNDAY, Marclr11, 1860.
The movement Of foreign trade at this port was
unusually active last week; the imports were over
million in excess Of those of the corresponding
week last year, and more than three times greater
than those Of the corresponding week of 1853. The
excess is chiefly in tea, coffee, sugar, hides and
metals, of which there have been an unusual num-
Der Of arrivals during the week. 1t is not pleasant
to know that with few exceptions, nearly all these
imports net a loss to the importer Teas and sugar
are rather better than they were a week ago,
but the importers state that they are
still considerably below the cost of importation;
and the statement bears on its face every evidence
Of probability. With regard to coffee, hides, and
one or two other prominent articles of foreign
merchandise their market is no better than it was
q week since, and the loss netted by the importers
must be quite considerable. Money would be saved
in many instances were the goods which are now
flowing into warehouse and upon the market at SO
fast rate reshipped to Europe without delay. II
the large importing houses continne to accumulate
stocks here in expectation of better prices, 1860
will prove as poor year for them as 1859.
These remarks apply with additional force to the
trade in dry goods. Though the import entries of
dry goods last week were below those Of the cor
responding week last year, the years import to
date is largely in excess of that Of the correspond
ing period of 1S59-though it il not likely that the
consumption of the country has largely increased,
and notwithstanding the heavy stock of goods
which was wintered over in consequence of the
low prices last fall. This state Of things has re-
suited, a. was natural it should, in auction sales
and low prices. The sales which were held
last week were, as general rule, unsstis-
factory to sellers; large proportion Of the
lots set down for sale was passed over, andl ia
many instances goods were sold considerably be-
low the cost Of importation. The foreign dry goods
importing trade VIII not again prove profitable
until merchants learn moderation, and keep their
supply more evenly adjusted to the consuming ca
pscity Of the country. The trade in domestic dry
goods is doing well; the demand for domestics both
for export and for consumption is rapidly increas-
ing; few more years Of such trade, and the spin
ming capacity Of the East will be doubled. Ameri.
can spinners are proving unanswerably their ca
pacity to compete with foreigners, notwithstand-
ing the cost Of labor and fuel here.
The week closes on more active cotton market,

ing tendency to decline there. An actual fall In
price In the European markets had been expected
to result from the first advices OF the enormous
crop; thus far the demands Of the trade have sus

LouIsiann Intelligence.

The Louisiana Baptist announces heavy rains in
the Northern part Of the State. The Caddo Ga
zette of the 1st has the following:
Monday and Tuesday were days long to be re-
membered by those who appreciate clouds and en-
joy an abundance of water. Our streets were
flooded, and every gully and ravine contained an
angry stream. 1t brought to our recollection
school-boy days when with buckets and books,
we would start to school and find the creek too
high to cross. The boys returned home and made
an uufavorable report after the depth was aecu-
rately sounded by wading .and diving. 1t being
fully demonstrated that the stream was impossible,
we would spend the day in making mills and sail
ing boats.
Red river rose three feet in twenty-fou hours
from local rains, and is still rising. The rainy sea-
son has set in, and we may confidently expect an
overflow in the spring, If November is an index of
the approaching winter. The cotton crop on the
rivers has been seriously injured by wind and
water, and great loss has been sustained.
The Bossier Banner of the lst says:
The weather-our old friend the weather-has
been cutting up some fantastic tricks before high
heaven, that made the clouds weep for two long
solid days without intermission. In consequence
thereof, the roads are almost in an impossible con
dition, and every branch and rivulet is oVeriowing
If the rains have been as general and bounteous
above, as in these parts, we may expect large
rise in old Red shortly.
The editor of the Homer Iliad says
On a recent camp-hunt on Lake Bsteneau, We
killed at one shot l6 large maard ducks thatwe go
and scared 1166 more 50 terribly that we have nc
idea they have ceased to flutter yet. And what is
strangest of all, it was not good day for ducks
and our gun was not charged particularly well, and
made tlong fire. For proof of this statement We
| refer, by permission, to Parson William Lackey
late Of Georgia, who was an eyewitness.
