TRADE.

Business was spotted tO-day-that is,
some of II dealers had a fair trade to re-
port while Others were doing compare
lively nothing, and Of course INDUCED in
the usual amount of grumbling. Take it
all together, however, we think that for
mid-Week il was better than an average
day in business circles.
The crop news continues favorable, and
so far as we have been able to learn from
our exchanges the young cotton never
was so free Of yermin as it is this year.
with a fayoraple fall the best hopes of our
people must be realized.
From DIR. Luke p. Blackburn, who is
! now planting on the Arkansas AID al
LaGoaia Circle, we learn that cotton is
doing finely in his section, and planters
are jubilant over the prospect. The Doe
tor takes a different view of the Chinese
lahar question irom that geaersliy aa-
cepted by the press and people of the
South, and will, we hope, be induced to
set forth his ideas upon the subject, as
well as upon that of direct trade or a" gold
for cotton" before he leaves the city. To
both these topics b has ae steq no lutte
attention and Thought, and being a Drac-
teal planter his views would, We have no
doubt, be listened To by a large number OF
our citizens, all Of whom are interested
directly in the matter.
