There will be no difficulty whatever on
the score of financial resources from fur
tler Improvements or increase OF erect
ling more stores and dwelling houses.
! The erection of medium-siZcd houses is
about rs good an investment as capital
lists and lenders of money can make.
Squares of dwelling houses will find
tenants the next season, particularly if
we are favored with a high sanitary
state through the summer, and if we
should unfortunately be afflicted with
Sickness, it will make very little differ
ence as people will flock to our city,
as has been the case for years and years
past.
Although there have been over two
millions Of bales Of cotton exported this
season from our lcvce, there is no flag
cling in the King. The sales this week
foot up to the very respectable figures
of 35, 800 bales against II 200 bales for
the corresponding week last year. At
this time last year our market had to
contend against the val between Mr..
Napoleon and Mr.. Francis Joseph, and
although we have received this season
gross $4,000 bales i'll excess Of last
year, we have a stock of only 1875, 900
against 10000 last year. 1t is difficult
to arrive at the number of bales of cot.
ton now on sale here. 1t is believed all
is in first hands, very little having been
purchased on speculation. Ofgood and
clean, CHASING from Middling up, a very
diminutiye scale of figures will cover the
quantity in bales.
The money market, Of course, is the
daily topic. We have from day to day
commented on the course Of discounts
and loans, and have much pleasure in
announcing that the ease and quietncss
which We're apparent a week ago, pre-
walls this evening, under a feeling averse
to lenders andlIigh rates Of usance The
applications and general requirements
of the community have been declining
through the week, so that to-day the di-
rect offerings for discount were meagre
compared to what they were three and
four weeks since. The banks are in
flush position, but this must not be taken
an incentive for parties to solicit
large loans and heavy discounts.
The return Of the banks to the Board
of Currency this morning corresponds
with the movement Of last year and the
year previous, with the exception that
there is a slight increase in the specie
So it appears that the many
threats, that gold will be called for, have
not been carried out. The calls all round
for the week have not exceeded $780,
600, which has been made up from chan
nels of trade and remittances from the
with a few Mexican dollars
in.

BGyWe fully endorse the structures
Of the Advocate, in the article entitled
"a Great Crime" publihsed elsewhere.
We think, however, he cxaggerates when
he says that there may be nearly a
dozen of people in this parish who might
approve the article Landed by the Echo.
We, do not believe there is one. Its Pc
rusal cxcites universal and unmitigatcd
disgust. The term. sIave-drivers" ap-
piled to us all of the South, by the Abo-
litionists, as a term of ignominy, should
never have been used in the same
in a Southern newspaper. Evidently,
the political phrensy Of the editor of the.
Echo renders him blind to the plain
bearing and meaning Of such atrocious
pieces as that copied by him from the
Philadelphia Press

new ORLEANS MONEY MARKEr.-Wc
take the following extracts from an ar
ticle in then. 0. Crescent, dated May
18th: .
The general exodus for the season of
the year of citizens, traders and mer-
chants, particularly transient, has been
one of the features Of the week closing
this night, diminishing greatly opera
tons in several channels of trade. Not
withstanding thousands on thousands
have taken their departure, a much
larger population will remain for the
entire summer than ever before known.
An active business is expected in the
way of building, and in all mechanical
trades and industrial arts. There are
believed to be more buildings in course
oferection and contracted for than known
for many years past. The destiny of the
Crescent City is onward, slowly and
surely. They a pirate about two or
three hundred bales of cotton being
shipped from Memphis up the river via
railroad Canada Trunk Railway for
Liverpool. It will do very we'll towards
creating an impression. The factors of
New Orleans can get all the cotton they
will accept for or advance on, and though
there has been a large increase in the
shipments from Memphis up the river,
so there has been an increase to this
market of $4,000 bales over last year.
Tho inoraaSo IN tho pumbnr IF ctoroc and
warehouses is another marked feature in
the progress of the commerce. Build
ings for counting-house purposes and for
other branches of the mighty trade of
our city are being erected on all our
principal streets devoted to commerce.
an active season for builders, mechanics
and artisans already shows its fruits.
