GENERAL MARKETS.


There has not been any particular ami
nation in the general market for the past
few days. We may now expect season
OF quietude in all departments of trade,
till at least we begin to realize money from
the growing wheat crop, which will be in
July. The cotton trade is over, and the
revenue now derived from the few scatter
ing arrivals does not amount to anything
in making mp the assets of our commercial
statistics. Nashville has been fortunate in
commanding through the winter and spring
large and profitable trade, and her mer-
chants are ehdeavoring to push their trade
in regions not heretofore made tributary to
Nashville.
COTToN.-The transactions of to-day en-
brace only 25 bales, as follows: bale at
223c, at 22c, and 81 at 2Sc. Even had
there been a sufficient stock for large OPP
eratiOns, it is not likely that much could
have been done, as the telegraphic adVices
were Encouraging throughout the day.
The very finest grade would not have
brought over 284c We report receipts of
two bales and shipment of ten bales.
