The profits Of a San Francisco mer-
chant, who sent 3 cargo of grain to
Philadelphia in the ship David Crockett,
are estimated at $4,000.
The southern relief commission Of
New York shipped on board the steamer
Memphis, on the 2Sth ult., thirty thou
sand bushels of corn, in equal quTstities,
to Charleston, Savannah and Mobile.
Before the close Of another week the
commission hoped to be able to ship, by
another national vessel, . yet larger
quantity of corn toward relieving the
fearful restitution prevailing in large
sections Of Alabama, Georgia, North
and South Carolina. The World news
paper says there is the best reason to be-
lieve that five hundred thousand bushels
OF corn must be sent to the destitute dis
tricts within tbs neyt three months to
supply the pressing demands OF starving
multitudes. Without this help three
hundred thousand people will be in a
state Of suffering that must bring death
to many of them. And besides this,
many planters will not have the means
TO provide the labor and the seed for
another harvest.
The New York Economist, of the Sd,
says : In the cotton goods market we
have to report increased activity, espe-
eially for printed CsliCoes, which have
sold quite freely at fully sustained prices
for nearly all makes. An effort was
made TO break down prices, but it proved
Intellectual, and the indications are, that
prices have found a level for all desirable
makes of cOttOus. Stocks in the hands
of jObbers are small and much broken,
there is no house ia the trade to-day to
show a full line of goods. Two weeks
ago we were told Sprague held two mil
lion Ollar worth OF prints, but we knew
the ASSERTION was untrue, and that when
trade would set IN III good earnest ali the
available supplies would be wanted.
We now look for two or three weeks of
real active, lively trade. The seas0n is
fully advanced to purchase goods prices
are as low as they will be for most textile
fabrics congress is about to close its
session, and as its policy has become re-
vealed, there is no reason Why coma
denOe should not be Immediately re-
stored. There are thirtY-six millions of
people in this country to-day who want
to be clothed, and cloth is now as cheap
as it viii be probably this season. adoi
Northwestern papers say the prospects
are good for a large fruit crop.
