There is some fear manifested in CONNER
cial circles as to the effect which the new
National Bankrupt Law will AVE Upon
the business Interests of the country. 1t
goes into effect On the 1st of June, but is
retroactive to the 1st of February. 1t is
feared that as soon as it is in operation,
large numbers of men now IN business,
who are really insolvent, will take advan-
tage of its provisions, and by going into
bankruptcy, wipe ont their old liabilities,
and commence commercial life anew. 1t
is well for merchant to be on their guard
against weak, doubtful, or tricky !"
dealers, and be prepared for a considerable
tremor IN the business of the country con-
sequent upon the operations of that law.
Properly guarded and honestly observed,
it is conceded to be a good provision; but

to the injury of fair dealing men.
The business of the country has been
considerably affected the past week by the
temporary panic, occasioned by
the war cloud in Europe; but as the prom
ises of peace are fair again, gold, stocks,
and cotton get back to the old basis; and
prices o-fmerchandise are little affected by
the furry.
The trade of this city for the month just
closing has been the best of the year. The
footing up of sales of all our wholesale
houses will make a large aggregate and
prove highly satisfactory.
Prices of merchandise have fiuctuated
very little the past week, the market
closing steady at the quotations annexed.
City report collections imrlov-
ing, and money more p enty in the coun-
try.
GROCERY MARKET.
The trade of last week was very good in
this department, both through orders and
merchants visiting this market. h
temporary advance in gold gave a little
more tone to the quotation of staple
goods, but the prices were not advanced
| materially. We continue our quotations
as follows:

nnCt1cthSCos W
choice 26@27c; good to choice Java 33@36c.

the trade. Orleans plantation is in

DRY GOODS.
The trade of the week has been very
good, and our wholesale houses have been
fully employed. Stocks have been well
sorted up with fresh and liberal receipts
from the supply depots, and country
dealers will find the market fully up to the
wants of the trade. The upward tendency
of cotton is having its effect to strengthen
the quotations for staple goods. We quote
as follows:
