TRADE.

Business was very fair to-day for the
season and prices are steady with light re-
ceipts, both 10y river and rail. The wealth
or continues hot and favorable for corn
and cotton, while the news that reaches
us through our exchanges in relation 20
the crops Is very lattcring indeed. Now
that there can be no possibility of an
overflow we may look for good times
along the river. and our merchants should
bestir themselves about puttingi in at least
two good boats hence 10 Nicksburg during
the next season, to in connection with
the barge line. Of the Dry Goods and
Boot and Shoe markets bat little can be
said. Both branches Of trade seem TO be
fairly active for tile season. The CmH,er-
cioI Bulletin a y OF Dry Goods in New
York: The continued high and adj
vancing rates of the raw material and the
disposition among manufacturers 10 eur
tail consumption, have tended TO
strengthen the views OF holders of goods,
believing that in the end if not immedi-
ately, consumers viii be forced 10 accept
their rates. Consumers onthe other hand
are looking anxiously at the cotton cror
reports. believing thai if they are .favora-
bic during July they can anticipate easier
prices early in the fall. To Il certain eN-
tent both sides are undoubtedly correct
in their reasoning. But YET we do not
think that ever with a good crop year we
can look for low priced cotton immedi-
atelv. even with a favorable season. From
tw~entv-thrpa to twenty-siX cents is the
lowest point good judges expect the mar
ket will touch. at least until after the new
wear. and the majority incline 10 the
higher figure. Their opinion is based
up1n the yer- slaasl stpaks saf tle-rau
material now Held Throughout the world,
and the ability and disposition Of the
South 10 hold their cotton until they real
ize what they think it IL worth. Then

There has been during the past year "A

Cotton goods are an Increasing necessity
10 The world. Consumption can he for a
time held in check by high prices, ifthere
is good reason TO anticipate lower rates
soon. The past wear has been an iIlustra-
ton Of this idea; but it does not look now
as if the demand could thus lie CaItaiied
the coming season, and hence our manu-
~facturers and jobbers appear to anticipate
a good fall trade
