Of a heavy crisis; our boasted staple, Cotton,
is forced to surrender to the fuctuauonsand

and deferred out door business to a great cx-
tent. The markets continue heavy, and the
prices OF many leading commodities are de-
/ clinfnv from day 70 day as the Gold premium
goes down. Local wants and order demands

yond. The Chamber of Commeres met yester-
day. pursuant TO a call for Their regular monthly
