Financial ana Commercial.


? The New York Herald of Monday in
reviewing last weeks operations says:
There was q moderate degree OF activity
in the trade of the city duringthe week,
but the markets are still unsettled. In
cotton the fluctuations have been light
but frequent and d very limited bust
ness was transacted. In dry goods
there has been a rather sluggish move
ment. and the opinion is expressed that
the bulk of the spring trade is already
over. The decline il cotton is accepted
as good reason why newly inannfac-
tured goods should be marked down in
price, and the tendency has been down
ward for all but the bleached fabrics
and certain styles of prints. The large
auction sales of domestics held near the
close of the previous week has estab-
lishcd lower prices for all the inferior
grades. The general prospects OF trade
throughout the country are, however,
improving, and the crops seem to be
unusually abundant. Early IN July
Southern wheat will begin to reach the
markets, and the latter will be bare
enough TO take all that Offers. Atpres-
ent corn is the only article that the
West has Il good supply of, and even
this commands 81 25aSl - in this city.
The wool crop is expected to. be very
heavy, although it is not probable that
the market for it willopen e:rrlyOr buoy
antly; owing to the dnllncss and de
preston in manufactures and the dry
goods trade. The abundant crops, by
cnriching the farmers and increasing
the aggregate wealth of the country,
will react favorably upon all depart
ments of the trade, and ut the same
time stimulate our foreign commerce.
The Pittsburg Commercial of yestcr-
dav notices: "Nu change in the local
money market except, perhaps, an in
creased demand for loans. This de-
mand is more Legitimate than what has
characterized the loan market for some
time back--it arises more from the i'll
creased activity of our manufacturing
interests, and corresponding sympa-
thy from the mercantile trade. Al
though the lattcrdocs not compare with
the volume of business that is usual to
ihe spring trade, yet there is much to
encourage every business man. The
present is well sustained by strong as
surance of abundant harvests, a sound
financial policy that is daily strength.
cning as it develops, and the national
securities mainly. in the hands of the
people, which Constitute the safest in
vestmcut in the world. There is moth
ing in the political, commercial or
financial horizon to disturb the qnlot
and steady working of trade, and, Nv
one of our exchanges remarks, what
will the gold spectators get into a
frenzy about, now that peace has been
established in Europe! Prior to the
war panic they had the impeachment
panic; prior to that they had constant
panics about the action of Congress on
one thing or another; and so we might
90 back to the time that our own wal
furnished them daily panic.

The President, whom she did not meet
The petitions were prepared in regular
form by others, and Mrs. Cobb assisted in
obtaining the pardons through third par
ties.
Colonel Long was also examined about
the interview between Mr.. johnson and
detective Baker, Of which the latter has
pretended to give an account. The testl-
mony shows that there were three persons
present when the President ordered Baker
out Of the White House, and they give
very different account from Baker Of
what transpired.
"Mrs. Washington was also examined
before the committee to-day relative to the

THE CROPS.

All our exchanges speak in exultant
tones Of the prospects now held out every
where in the land Of abundant crops.
More especially is il said that the wheat
crop gives promise Of an immense yield.
In addition to what we learn from the
papers, we have obtained from persons
who have travelled in the different wheat.
growing States, and they all tell us that
the promise Of large yield Of this cereal
is truly hopeful.
The cold weather, thus far, il is thought,
has not damaged the wheat crop, and though
it has doubtless retarded somewhat its
growth, in the end it may be found to have
proved beneficial to it. We are much
disposed to find fault with everything as Q
people, and there is no subject abou'
which we croak more necessarily and will
more unreasoning folly, than that Of the
weather; hence during the many cold, wet
and disagreeable days we have experienced
this SPRING our clamors against the weather
have been lsud and long and our pre-
dictions in respect to the entire failure Of
the crops have often been as good, in
our judgment, as realized. If we come to
our senses by and by, when our barns and
graineries are filled to overAowing, will we
confess our want Of faith in kind Proyi
dence, and feel grateful to Him that His
munifcent hand has supplied our every
need by giving to the labors Of the hus
bandman an abundant reward for his
tolls.
We now think we may look forward to
the harvest-time in the confident expecta-
tion of almost an unprecedented yield of
the wheat crop. II is even said that old
Virginia, war-cursed and desolated as she
has been, snow giving unmistakable indica-
tions Of plentiful harvest. One individ-
ual who has travelled extensively there says
that the promise is that the wheat crop in
the Old Dominion will far exceed any
yield heretofore known in the history o.
the State 1t is stated that one farmer on
the james river expects to make twenty.
FIVE thousand bushels. We sincerely trust
this may be true, for the people Of that
old Commonwealth are in sad need Of the
bread as well as the impetus to their in,
dustries which this will give them. In
short, the people everywhere want cheap
dread, for cheap bread cannot fail to bring
better times. 1t is not a very hopeful look
for these Atlantic States when there il
wheat Imported into New York from Cali
forpia and from France. We must grow
our own breadstuffs, and not only so, W,
must have a surplus for shipment to tn
rest of the world. A good crop this season
such as the prospect now is that we shal
reap, will go far towards mHking this ma
ton the exporter and not, as now, the i'm
porter Of breadstufis.
A few weeks will determine whether OIL
no the promises now held out Of an abun
dant crop Of wheat shall be realized oil
prove falacious.

Meats are scarce and held with increased
frmness, holders refusing Q and IL cents
for Shoulders and rib Sides. We note a
sale Of 30 hhds. Western Bacon on Satur
day at 9ial0 cents for Shoulders. Holders
generally ask l0al01 cents for Shoulders
