PETERSBURG, June II, 1885,
There is but little activity in business I;
Int this is the duh season Of the year, and
No revival can be expected until the new
CROP OF wheat begins, to come in pretty
freely. In the mean time, however, there
Is less pressure in financial matters than
there was during the spring. AS 8 matter
of necessity, every one reduces his family
cxpenses within the narrowest limits, in or
der to meet the exigencics Of the times. 4 I,
We have at least one good sign Of re-
turning confidence. Planters are better
disposed to piacethe proceeds Of their crops
OH deposit ut the savings banks; and we
learn that the amount Of deposits AT the
several institutions of that kind in the city
has been steadily increasing. Here, as
we'll as elsewhere, these banks are conducted
on safe principles, and are underline man
aremcnt of men of the highest character.
We would, in all sincerity, recommend
plantcrs-instead Of boarding their money
at home, sometimes even bnrying it In the
rround-generaliy to adopt this plan. In
tho present unsettled condition Of the coun-
try it ia much safer than in the hands OF
the owner. 1t is, moreover, entitled to
draw interest; and being lent out on good
securities, it is of advantage to the business
community. 2,5S2r ~ 1T - ~ 5
The receipts of tobacco by the southern
road have been very light for several
weeks. This is to be accounted for not SO
much from the shortness of the crop as from
the manufacturing system which has been
built up within the two last years in North
Carolina, where the finest leaf formanufae-
turing purposes is grown. Perhaps the
business can be carried on at less expense
in the country; possibly the country may
afford greater facilities for cvading the tax;
for, after the late astounding developments
at Richmond, who can vouch for the in
tegrity of revenue oficersS 4N = = 60 4
In consequence, therefore, Of small re-
ccipts, good tobacco has q continual upward
tendency in this market. Shipping is very
much sought after ut our quotations good
filters are also in much demand but oil
sun-cured tobacco brings comparatively
low prices. Planters will therefore find it
to their interest to make rich, heavy ar
ticle, whether for shipping or manufactur-
ing, using artificial heat in curing in pre-,
ference to the sun. = 90 'A'
There is little more frmness in the cot
ton market, but the stock on hand is light
and the receipts small. Nearly all that Is
sold is taken by the spinners.
1t is said that the negroes are working
better in Southern Virginia and North Ca
rolina than they have hitherto done. Many
of them are represented to be disgusted
with the carpet baggers because they have
not received their mule and land, and hence
have betaken themselves to something like
regular industry.
Eastern Carolina, according to reliable
statements, is suffering for the want OF pro-
visions, owing to the shortness of the corn
crop last year and the difficulty of presery-
ing stock from the rogues.
