TRADE.
Business is active and prices are almost
daily hardening. Nearly all descriptions
of staple plantation goods are scarce and
high. The order trade continues active
and planters are sending In their cotton
rapidly, to pay up their obligations. This
is the right spirit, and will do more to
gain the confidence of our merchants than
anything they could do. No business
men In the South, in proportion to their
means, have done so much for the people
of the interior as have the merchants of
Memphis, and all they ask Is q disposition
to repay as fast as possible. While some
think that the news. of g good crop this
year In India will keep the price of the
staple down, we think that 1t is
yet too early to form any cor
rect opinion Of the result of the
India crop. The v~icissitudes which 1t is
subject to in that country are even more
numerous than here, and prospects, how
ever favorable at present, can be no critic
rion to base an opinion upon.
At a late meeting of the New Orleans
| Chamber of Commerce, Mr.. Fosdick, the
President, offered a resolution asking that
the National Board of Trade shall regulate
the grades OF 1our inspection. Col. Sap
pington, of Arkansas, WIS introduced to
the Chamber, and made a modest and
very lucid description of the railroad pro-
posed to be constructed upon a levee be-
tween Little Rock and Vicksburg, thence
/ 10 be extended to New Orleans. This road
will place New Orleans in direct commu-
nication with Dacotah Inc Kansas City.
| Col. Sappington stated the distance Of
these points at about the same as nom
New Orleans TO st. Louis. On motion of
Mr.. Summers, the Chamber adopted q
resolution endorsing the advantages of
the proposed railroad and levee, and re-
questing the Legislature OF Louisiana at
its next session TO furnish the aid and
facilities necessary for its thorough exc
cution.
