There were indications Of a change in

The stage of water above is steadily de-
ereasing. Business appears to be bright

The river was allingyesterday, though

During the previous twenty-four hours
IL had fallen -four inches at the head of
the falls and twelve inches at Portland.
The weather was cool for the season,

Until reconstruction is a settled matter
IN the south emigration will direct Itself
10 the other states in the union, even al
though their advantages are not 80
promising. By the returns Of the emf
grant commissioners it appears that Of
more than twenty-five immigrants
landed at New York last month, only
five go to Arkansas, five to Alabama,
one to Florido, nine to Georgia, thirty
eight to Louisiana, n to Mississippi,
two to North Carolina, ten to South Gar
DINA one hundred and sixty-three TO
Texas, and hfty-fve to Virginia. All
these states get but 277, while Illinois
alone takes 1925, New England more
than 1000, and even inhospitable Canada
Rsarly 800.
The department of state has received
information from the United States con-
sui at Lunbuyeque, Peru, that an I'M
pOrtant discovery has been made in
Peru, recently, of the silk plant. Pre-
parations are being made TO cultivate 1t
upon an extensive scale. The shrub IS
three or four feet in hight. The silk is
inclosed in q pod, OF which each plant
gives 3 great number, and is declared as
be superior in fineness and quality to the
production of the silk worm. II is 8
wild perennial. The seeds are small
and easily separated from the fibre. The
stems Of the plant produce a long and
very brilliant fibre, superior in strength
and beauty TO the finest linen thread.
Small quantities have been worn in the
rude of the Indians, and the tex
ture and brilliancy are said to be unsur-
passed.
From returns published in Liverpool
in the last week of April, 1t appears that
the quantity of cotton afoat from the
East India and American ports on the
way to Liverpool and London is still
very large. From Bombay there were
at sea forty-eight ships, laden with
2l7, $50 bales of cotton from Rangoon
one ship, with $50 bales; from Tuticorin
one ship, with 8, 1852 bales; from Calcutta

Business was tOlerably good on the land

much more rapid fall. The upper rivers

GENERAL BUSINESS.
The general markets were dull to-day,
with little change to note. Provisions
are somewhat weaker and tending
d~ownwards. Feed remains firm, with
but light stocks on hand. Prime corn is
scarce, while there is a considerable
quantity Of damaged ON hand. We hear
many complaints from planters about
the quality of the corn which is being
shipped south this year, and many of
them have lost their stock in cOnse-
qaence. It is q noticeable fact, that
} early all the bad corn has so far come
ut of the Ohio river.
COTTON-Fhe European news has
had its effect on the cotton market, and
prices have jumped up fully &c per pound.
The adjustment Of all difficulties be-
tween France and Prussia by the con-
gress now in session, IL is thought, will
be the result of the conference, and cot
ton, which is sure to fall when a warlike
attitude is assumed, is also sure TO be-
come buoyant with the prospect of
peace. Our market was active, and
some very good-sized sales were made on
q basis of 244 to 25c for middling.
Holders are very firm, and generally re-
tain the old margin of l cent between
their views and those of buyers. The
receipts to-day were SO bales; shipments
1850 bales. Receipts for the week, 1880
bales; shipments, 2S00 bales stock on
hand, II, 1925 bales. The following, which
we take from the Merchants Exchange
Prices Current of to-day, will explain
the increase we report in stock on hand
"Actual count this week shows an ex-
cess OF 3845 bales over our statement pre-
vious. OF this about 1000 bales is the
product OF sacks of cotton an account
of which was regularly kept in u table
of imports into Memphis, that item in
which we now strike. The balance is
mostly the excess by wagon over our es-
innate, which was, for the season, 1854,
now made 20,729." We quote the mar
