Much uncertainty prevails as 20 the probable
amount OF brcalstuds on hand The produce
|of the south has been uneSampled. A very
much greater breadth Of land was laid down
with articles Of consumption last year than ON
auv previous season, and the harvest was a
bountituI one. From tn, increase must be de-
dugtol the supplies hitherto sent from the
North but now cut of Or. perhaps, rather the
usual average amour; Of southern produce on
previous wears should be added to the usual av-
e.age importation from the North, then this
wears southern crop deducted from the amount,
ami thus the decrease OF our whole amount of
articles OF consumption be- compared with former
years In proportion as this estimate approaches
10 certainty our ability TO sustain our Popula-
. tau until the next crop will be known. At
present opinion varies greatly upon this point,
some merchants believing that the stock Of pro-
fuea on hand. under the system OF economy
that enhanced prices have made prevalent, viii
be- ample. Others are confident that the next
six weeks viii demonstrate that a considerable
scarcity exists. With these-varyings of opin-
ion there IS of course a variety Of views AS re-
spects prices and the market waivers and stag
mates in consequence Of the uncertainty. The
establishment OF the eternal blockade
az Columbus having intercepted the ordinary
course of business by Withdrawing the produc-
tons of a heavy breadth Of country from the
market, has tended to increase the uncertainty.
The facts we have indicated show that the future
price Of produce, breads,uHs especially, depends
upon the light 70 d more distinct knowledge Of
the amount on hand.
The NcS Orleans dispatches showed that in
that market -four remains dali with small sales
corn was in fair demand at 75c; wheat had but
limited sale bran was quiet sugar in moderate
demand; m0lssses in active demand, and whisky
advanced.
Alot Of rope was sold on Change, made IL
New Orleans by machine. It wa q good, well
made article, and brought p cents. The South
is fast filling up the vacuum left by the en-
barge on northern articles. Cotton mills are
starting. starch factories are becoming ommon (;
quite a large number OF distleries are at work
in various parts Of the country this winter,
Touring mills are springing up everywhere, cot
ton seed oil Is now Of universal consumption,
and the cake remaining after pressing Is now a
common fGel in this city in lieu Of northern
coal. in short, He see home made cotton ties Of
wood are found equal % the imported rope or
'irou-ln every branch Of industry, in short, the
South is showing an amount OF skill, inventive
faculty. and power OF internal Development none
. but the thoughtful and oDservant had believed
possible. Like the strong man in the scripture,
when MS hair was grown, she pulls down the
= pillars Of Ignorance, and brushes the yotsrles OF
prejudice under the roof Of their own structure.
