feeling continues a while longer, and prices do not rs,
above their present rates, some Of the stock that has foI
sometime been held back from the market In New Or
leans will be likely to be brought forward, which would
prevent prices rallying, The bulls" still talk confident
" Of the certainty Of higher rates at no distant day, but
at present their past p~rophesies are a failure.

The convention Of cotton planters is to be held in this
city on the 10Th Of next month The subject has not yet
received formal rccognition from the Chamber Of Com
merce. Jat t is one that should receive attention, e5nnee-
ted as it is with the interests of our staple business. 1t Is
suggested that merchants connected with the cotton trade
might be invited to Memphis at the same time, in order
that by a discussion Of the present position and future
prospects Of cotton, some practical ideas may be evolved,
aud a course OF policy be agreed upon. The whole cot
ton business is now totally suspended the last years crop
remains where it was grown, and much Of il is LETT half
picked in the field There is a general disposition the
next season to grow wheat, corn, potatoes, oats, hogs
anything that can be sent readily TO market and turned
into cash. and to let cotton alone. This state Of things is
peculiar, and may possibly lead to unexpected results.
whole matter affords ground for individual reflection
and collective discussion. We presume the Chamber
not let the matter pass without attention, and ii is
that attention was bestowed.
