From the annual review of the New Or
leans markets, published in the Commercial
Bulletin, for the year ending Aug. 3lst, we OK
tract the following:
On general view of our commercial con-
di ton We find abundant cause to congratu-
late our readers the past, and to entertain
high hopes for the future. We NAV rejoice
with them that whatever tncon veniences have
attended the war, whatever embarr easements
or losses, they are UGH less than might have
been unprecedented. Had the blockade ar
rested the movement of our cotton crop with
half million bales on hand. or proven ted
the importation of our spring stocks, the
commercial conSeq uences must have been
much more serious, In point of fact as
commerce was to be interru pied our
own commercial community could hardly

been enforced with less inconvenenc =
TO themselves than the time ut which
1t actually took effect. And SO with re-
gard to that of the Western trade. Although
1t has diminished our supply of sailed pro-
visions TO such an extent AS to cause Il large
advance i'll prices, to the serious injury Of
the planter and consumer, yet il was not
enforced until the South had been amply pro-
vided with corn and flour to meet the def
cheney of last year crop and carry us through
comfortably to the garnerins OF the bountiiui
cereal harvest with which we haze been
blessed by benlgnant Providence. Every
class of our commercial community has met
the trials OF the hour, not only without muir
murlng, but with patriotic cheeriulness Not
Wlthstanding the temporary suspension of
commerce and the deprivation of their usual
revenues, our merchants have conlri buted
munlficently to sustain the war by their cap
ltal and influence, fitting out companies and
battdllons with princely liberaIity, and gen
erously continuing the salaries of their clerks
who have marched to the battle field We
firmly believe that these patriotic sacrifices
will be rewarded by career OF greater COM
merclal prosperity than the most sanguine
anticipate. Those who have been loyal 10 the
South-whO have given their treasures to the
cause-who have risked the lives of their sons
In battle-surely they will be remembers by
their grateful countrymen, and with the re
sumption OF the commercial movement find
the ranks of their constituents largely in
creased. Above all, our planters would be
lnsenslble to justice ant pa trio tis,n did they
not reward with their business the men who
nave SO nobly stood by them in these trying
times This remark also applies TO country
merchants and the city trade. The seif-s;ic-
ritice of our mercantile friends should receive
its proper acknowledgement in every branch
OF business.
Released, as our commerce must soon be
from its former dependence upon Northern
capital, and the distractions it suffered from
the all grasping and insatiate spirit of Nor
thern cupldIty, we may confidently expect it
to extend its connect tons with u wider sweep
and holder spirit. Its white winged mes
sengers OF peace, ribbed with our Southern
oak, are destined to bear our glowing flag on
every sea; from every cline to bring back thu.
rich returns OF Southern enterprise and pour
into the lap of our favored city the veal tn
which has hitherto enriched the Northern
emporium.
