COTTON IN
TRADE.

TRADE.
The bad weather has seriously affected
our retailtrade; nevertheless, there is con-
siderable activity displayed in the general
markets, and orders come in steadily.
Tuesday is always a busy day. The large
number Of packets leaving on that day, in
all directions, added largely to the appear
ance of life displayed, and all of them go
out with as much as they can carry on the
water. The races will, we fear, not be so
attractive as unexpected, in consequence
of the rains, and fewer visitors are in the
city in consequence.
The Liverpool Courier, of a recent date,
has an article on the subject ofdirect trade
between the Southern States and Great
Britain. 1t SAYS that all the Southern
cotton that goes to England and all the
Manufactured goods coming from England
10 the American consumer pass alike
through New York, and adds: This state
of things mo be altered at present, but
its existence is another strong reason why
needless charges should be avoided on
trade with the cOttOn-growing districts.
There is no possible reason why raw cot
ton should be exported, and foreign goods

cuitous route, involving waste of time and
needless expense.
The St. Louis Republican says: The
question Of the future price of hogs, as af-
fscting the interest Of farmers, no less
than pork packers, is now expressing
more attention than any other material
product Of the West. The farmers, as a
rule, are poorer this season han in any
year since 1860. To a low price Of grain is
af1al iusraaGnL prfpaa of rauGnorfafinD
On the other hand, the future of the pork
packer is far from clear, theirproits being
affected by any possibility of an increased
production of hogs. or a diminished con-
sumptive demand for pork. 1t is urged,
therefore, by provision brokers in their
circulars, that the crop is, to a certain ex-
tent, increased, and, even If not, that the
supply of pork must be increased next
year by the increasing number of hogs
summeT-slaughtered andice- packed, while
the packers themselves hold OF, partly
trusting that these arguments will nave
some effect pom the farmers, and hoping
still more that the i'll results and made
quate returns from grain growing will
force the farmers At least as early as De-
cember to send forward their hogs, in or
der To make up the deficiency in money
from their grain crops. We do not alto
gether agree with these arguments, or CO.
incide with the conclusions. Extracts we
have made from country journals and
correspondence DO not indicate any in
crease in the number of hogs. Wherever
We find any gain in numbers we observe a
large amount of grain left yer from last
season, 20 which the hogs were driven,
thus diminishing the number of hogs
elsewhere. Nor does the foun-
ded upon summer packingseem more con-
elusive. It cannot nave failed TO diminish
the number Of hogs to be delivered this

and those that viii be kept over to be
slaughtered in the same manner next
year, but il appears not to ave had the
effect Of increasing the stock of old pork
