NASHVILLE, Feb. 16. 1860.
The river is rising, with ten feet water on
Harpeth Shoals. There have been several of
our New Orleans packets in port this week,
adding largely to the stock of business in
market, and making supplies plentiful. The
Eastport and James Woods are now in port,
and will both return to New Orleans as soon
as they can load, The James Woods is a new
boat, built expressly for the trade between
Nashville and New Orleans, and is one of the
most elegantly finished and furnished on the
| western waters.
Business during the week, which ended last
| evening was brisk, but there is still room for
considerable improvement.
COTTON-The cotton market was active
on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and the
sales were heavy at prices ranging from 81 to
1885 p D.. Monday the market opened dull
with a concession to buyers. Tuesday and
yesterday were but the counterpart of Mon
day. The sales each day were light, at from
10 1Oic. p b. There is great deal in our
| warehouses, but holders are not much dispos-
| ed to sell, although the prices offered are
above what those of New Orleans would au
| thOrize.
TOBACCO-The receipts are light, and we
| have only occasional sale. On the 9th,
there was sale of 65 hhds. at A. HAMILToN's
