The New Orleans Delta Of Friday reports:
We have again to notice a very dull market, and the
les are confined to about 800 h~ogsheads, part at pa to
2Ac for fair to fully fair, and BIZ to 33+c for choice. The
demand is limited, and we only heard Of the sales Of 50
barrels rebOhsd at loo per gallon. In provisions we
have heard OF no transactions. The trade is awaiting
further developments relative to the tariff Of prices
established by the Provost Marshal.

viii feel pride and a melancholy pleasure in joining in
a last testimony of regard to an old Memphis merchant
The New Orleans Crescent Of Friday says:
Currency plays considerable of a part in the ransac-
tons of the day, as limited as they may be, but change
is ca led for hourly. In fact. it is change, change. The
Confederate government ought to take the place Of our
banks in regard 10 the furnishing Of five and ten dollar
notes. If the parties in the Treasury Department at
Richmond find il too labOrOUs to work over four or five
hours daily in signing notes, they should abdica e and al
low others who will work ten hours per day 20 take their
nIaces. SIX months have expired since Mr.. Memmingpr
commenced to furnish the Confederacy, particularly this
| community, which is the metropolis Of the South, with "a
| circulation of paper. We learn that the one hundred
/ millions of dollars in Confederate notes, authorized TO be
issued. have not yet been placed in circulation. Imme-
diateIy after the hanks scceded to the request Of the au
tborities. that is, in closing their vaults, the bank Of
! Touisiana and Louisiana State bank commenced the Is
suauce of notes under the denomination of hves, and
have bsen issuing for six months just as fast As the notes
could he signed. Strange 10 say that of these issues, now
a51onpting from the two banks 10 about SfOO,OOJ, none
NJ tbem are ever returned to the banks in the way OF de-
n,sits nor presented tor coin, showing conclusively that
itbese small notes are slowed away, boarded possibly
1rJer fhe expectation that they are expressly redeema-
ne i'm specie when the banks should resume coin pay
The New Orleans BuHeiH has the following sensible
remarks upon the extreme measure taken in NRwO Or
leans of debating to the merchants the prices at which
they shall sell their goods
The natural remedy for high prices is eorpehdon. To
