TRADE.

There was considerable activity in the
general markets to-day, and prices were
steady. Cotton Is coming in more rap
idly, and we are glad TO learn tat the
planter has determined to send Onward
enough to pay their obligations to the
merchant, al almost any sacrifice. This
is necessary, for never before have IA
business men made such sacrifices as this
year, to enable the planter 10 make a crop.
Money has been borrowed at exhOrbitaat
rates of interest, and every day that their
paper has to be extended is seriously felt
by them. We hope sincerely that the
prices which now rule for the staple will
not deter our country readers from max
ing good their obligations to the city. 1t
is providential that debts are small, as a
general thing, but the aggregate is enOr-
nous, and only by receiving prompt re-
turns from the country can our merchants
sustain themselves.
\ large number Of buyers will be in the
market within a few days, and it is our
opinion that, so far as this city is con
cerned. cotton has touched bottom.
