and have advanced materially. There has
been a heavy speculative movement in
provisions, and pork has rapidly advanced.
Lard has also materially improved; the
stock is less than has been st this season of
the year for the past thirty years. Grocer
les have been quiet; prices have been well
maintained, especially for sugars, which
are higher. All prime grades Of mOlasses
are firm and scarce. Cotton has been in
good demand; but notwithstanding liberal
receipts, cotton goods have advanced brisk
ly, and prices are firm. Tobacco rules firm
with fair export demand, principally in
leaf. Wool has bean quiet, and prices are
unsettled.

debtedness are paid out to contractors and
others holding demands against the Gov.
ernment, but not in amount equal to the
old certificates which are maturing, anC
delay being unavoidable.
MISSISSIPPI CROPS.
Reports from the Lower Mississippi val
ley say that the cotton yield this year vii
not be above one-fourth of the average
crop, and of sugar not more than one-tsntl
cones will be produced beyond all Previ
GUS harvests.
Upon facts, as observed, the freedmen
work much more readily upon growing
corn than upon cotton and sugar, from
tina impression that they can get theil
wsgss readily. They are fearful the lattel
will be exported beyond reach for sale, snd
thus make their payment doubtful.
