Agricultural Prospects OF 1862.
The disturbed condition of the. country
which has prevailed the year past has par
alyzed trade, and agriculturisis, in common
with most other classes of the community,
seen 10 have superseded all energy OF ac-
tion, beyond that called for by The exigen-
ces of the day.
At this times The prospect OF speedy
peace may fairly be anticipated, and We
hope TO find al an early date, The energies
of all The States directed again toward the
common benefit, and farmers now, with the
slightest foreiho t. must see their interest in
renewed visor in the prosecution OF their
business.
The demand for this year will probably
he greater than that Of any previous year.
I The general success of business of all kinds
] will be unprecedented, and the mere in
/ crease in consumption consequent upon
/ successful trade, will of itself give rise to
+ unusual demand for agricultural products.
We now see that in all OF the souihren
ports cotton has mere nominal value,
while at the north it has greatly increased
in prices; the mere change OF position con
segment upon this, will create an immense
amount of transportation Sugar in Louis
lana is worth three cents ponnd ard ia
New York has advanced materially. Pork,
-four and corn, in most of The southern
states bear.exIranrdinary prices, while in
he northwest they may be purchased al
very low rate Indeed, there is pau OF
The country in which some commodity is
not in excess while the locality is deficient
in others TO he Gornd elsewhere in plenty.
The amount OF manufactured goods which
has been consumed. without being replaced
throughout The south. is very large, and
even in the north, the manufacturers have
been 80 panic stricken, ,,tat il is deficient OF
the very class of goods which il usually
supplies 10 other markets.
+ The very moment the conniry is at peace.
an amount of interchange of commodities
! must occur. creating the mos: successful
trade New York has ever known. and in
deed this remark will apply equally well 10
every part OF the country. The mere move
ment OF trans porlation, giving activity to
the cani,ai will call out all resources Of
credit in its varons notifications. Produ- :
