New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1860-11-17

| The receipts at Memphis from the 1st of Septem-
| Der to the 10th of November were l26, ,698 bales.
| More than one-fourth Of the estimated receipts
for Memphis were received prior to the 10th inst
and out OF the 100000 bales which were reported
| to nave been contracted, as to be delivered in
| Liverpool, only 1858 bales have gone forward.
This shipping to Liverpool direct, as SO many peo-
pie talked of, will not amount to much The Liver
pool dealers, the flag gentlemen of that town. with
slight nod to Manchester spnners would speedily
take this conceit Of direct shipments out OF Mem

planters OF Tennessee and Mississippi. The best

leans. The large receipts at this point-the largest
market in the world, except the town Of LIVERPOOL
Induces and encourages more buyers to vfsitmls,
and creates greater competition among tliSm.
Moreover, the sales are made for cash, which is
the case in Northern markets.
1t cannot be disguised, however that the shiSS.
ments from Memphis via the Ohio river for the
East show large increase over last year. We
calculate here in New Orleans, from the MANY su-
perer facilities and advantages attended and con-
nected with the great cotton trade, to receive at
least good share of the annual increase in pro-
duction.
There is very large increase in the trade with
Texas. 1t is almost impossible to keep the run Of
| the very large and numerous cargoes of produce
and merchandise which are leaving daily for the
Lone Star State for it must be taken into consid-
Grafton that since the result Of the to be memorable
day OF the 9th November, 1860, the State of Texas
returns or will return to its former nationality and
the Lone Star flag has been given to the winds.
But truce to politics. We will talk of what is
gong forward in our midst, and what new objects
of trade are turning. We learn that new line of
propellers will be on Lakes Pontchartrain and
Borsne this season. will appear from tile follow
ing paragraph, taken from Philadelphia paper of
last week:
The steam propeller Mobile, Jas. B. Kirby, com
mander, proceeded down the river yesterday on a
short trial trip Her hull was built by G. H. & W.
M. Cramp, of Kensington. Length l50 feet beam
2S feet, depth of hold feet; tuunage 325 tuns,
Commodious freight house on deck She has ae-
commodations for about thirty passengers. The
staterooms for passengers are spacious, we'll ven
tiated, and admirably constructed for comfort and
convenience.
After full detail of the machinery and its capac.
tiles, and the superiority of it's performance, we
learn that the Mobile was built for company, and
is the pioneer of line of steamers to ply between
Mobile and New Orleans.

report that the crop of 1860 would not be more
than one-sixth. The following extract from a Lou,
isyille circular confirms our Impressions:
The crop of 1860, after having suffered so CON
ssiderably by dry weather, was also injured by a
killing frost during the night from the 18th to the
18th of October, and the damage done is estimated
at about one-tenth Of the crop or about 5000 hogs
heads Of the late planting. The entire production
Of the West will, in all probability, amount to
$4,000 or 6o,o00 hsgsbeads. The unreasonable
weather and frost curtailed the crop of 1860, and
injured the quality; very large portion of the
growth must be common, small, short, stumpy to-
haeeo, and good long leaf of desirable quality will
be very scarce. Stocks are large in NewYork and
in some inland points; in New Orleans they are
grades.
The weekly coffee circular will be found under
the usual head. The berry keeps up well, though
the decrease of imports for the season-that is,
from the lst July, the coffee year--is one.third.
There has been only one cargo received this week,
and that is for foreign use; but will it not be paid
for at very beautiful low rate of exchange-say
lo35 TO lo4 on London. Well, coffee dealers have
as good right to make profits as other folks.
