| of the last week. The OHIO train did not ar
rive at all, aud only very short train arrived
by the Charleston road. Flour was very dull
and little was done. A lot Of thousand sacks
of salt changed hands. Wheat remained firm
and continued in demand.
The high price Of non ties, rope aud bagging,
are exciting attention. The very excellent iron
tie invented here by S, NJ. Gates, Esq, and
which appears likely 90 supersede all its prede-
cessors from its strength and simplicity, cannot
be put in the market for want Of the necessary
material for manufacturing. 1t is advised that
rather than pay outrageous prices for rope, ties,
and bagging, It is betterto put the bales in home
made cotton begging, and to bind them with
strips of hide, OF hickory or white oak withes.
The New Orleans Crescent says large numbers
of strangers are daily arriving there, and there is

The subject Of avoiding the accumulation of
