Saturday Evening, cct. g. Is60 ( | {
I'll seldom that we have to review a week st-l
tended with so unfavorable agricultu-
rally and commerciay-as the one now closing
this night. The great storm Of wind and rain,
which commenced on the night Of the LIST instant,
and continued through the I'd, extended over /
very broad space Of the cotton growing region of |
Mississippi and louisiana The sugar crop has also
received irreparable injury. Disastrous adyiees
from the interior follow almost hourly II will be
some days before full details Of losses and injuries
will be received Financially, nothing Of serious
nature has transpired, but the effects Of the storm
must have an important influence as the season adj
yances The weather is yet unsettled, and with its
mild tendency will still further augment the injury
sustained by the cane.
With the exception Of large enhanced transac-
tions in cotton, the business of the week has been
| very light, on very moderate scale. The trans
actions in the great staple for the week reach
| 81, 500 bales, which have been encouraged BY the
apprehended losses and injury to the crop from the
/ great storm. These apprehensions are well based.
The sales for the corresponding week last year
1 were $4,000 bales; for the same week in 1858,
SO 500 bales The great Western trade has been in
l a duescent state for several days. The recent
| European intelligence holds forth no encourage
ment for shipments of breadstuffs and provisions.
AZ for the latter the stocks Of meats here are only
sufieientfor the home demand and consumption
The demand for fonr, grain and meats is, there.
fore, confined TO the Texas market, Mobile and
Florida, and the shipments daily to these markets
are very large. As the business here is confined to
cash, considerable sums Of money change hands
daily. The impediments to navigation and inter
course with the upper country, via the West pre-
vent the well-flled granaries and warehouses from
4 being depleted The eosts Of transportation are
4 greatly enhanced by the low stage of water. In
the meantime, farmers and shippers, speeula-
tors in general throughout the West, will do
well to understand that, as usual, the merchants
and traders of New Orleans engaged in the great
Western trade are prepared as heretofore. to
vance on, aid and assist in moving the great West
ern trade to our emporium. Sales are, as hereto
fore, made for cash The four months credit sys-
TEN. with long strings of charges, as in New York
and Boston have not vet been introduced into the
Crescent City.
