TRADE.
We haye no marked activity 10 repoFI
in our general markets to-day, though
our houses are not idle by any meaBs, All
Of them receive fair orders from the inte-
rior, and, besides, are busy in preparing
for full stocks upon which TO commence
the fall trade, which is now, we may say,
almost upon as. Though the cotton crop
is somewhat backward, We nave all along
anticipated al early setting Ia Of business,
and that we are not alone in our eXpecta-
tiops we can prnVe by calling the stteA=
| ton OF our readers to our advertising col
umns, where the cards Of many Of our
fsr-seeing, practical business houses al
ready appear.
The summer of 1869 will soon have
passed away, and we think it viii re gen
orally aecede5 that few have preceded L
leaving as handsome balances on the right
side. Rev or no debts ha, Been made
business has peen conducted on a cash
basis, and thnugh the profits may not
have been large, they show no offsets In
the shape Of slow paper. This state of
affairs is gratifying to the merchant, and
more so to the planter, who will receive
nearly tFe h6ie praeeeds Of his growing
crop in cash.
The receipts in the past twenty-four
hours were as follows: Ale 10 packages
Raggiag 40 EieGes, hrap lSl- satks, b5ots
and shoes p cases, butter p packages, ba-
ronl Il casks A. tierces 10 packages, crack
ers 20 barrels, oorn sos sacks, cheese 100
boxes, chickens AZ cOOps, dry goods SO

The Memphis dry goods, boot and shoe,
clothing, hardware, crockery and grocery
markets we're never better supplied than
they are, at this season Of the year, while
the three first named have larger stocks
to-day than they usually have in the
heart of the busy season. CEF MafpAaats
afe Waking up, fhey ale determined that
Memphis SHALL control the trade which
is hers by right of her position, and to do
this they Will offer such inducements IS
muSt be appreciated, Ibey have already
iuaegurate5 reforms winch viii be feft ~
those who usually deal with them. They
have established a barge line hence to st,
Louis, aud have two splendid steamers
now huildiug, which viii enable them TO
lay freights down atoUr wharf at less than
half what they have heretofore been com
PEELED to pay. A Vicksburg line must be
established, and the LARGE trade we used
C eai0y along the bends must bB re-
gained, at whatever r6st. Before one
month mas passed away we predict that at
least two new and elegant steamers viii
ply hence to Nicksburg weekly, and by
another season we win have 9 SeF Sc
leans uue OF packets, uuequaled> on the
river.
