1t clouded up about noon to-day and
more rain was looked for. 1t was badly
needed. as that which fell q day or two
ago was swallowed up almost as fast as it
touched the parched earth. Business was
very fair during the day. Several mer-
chants from Arkansas arrived in town,
and viii make their purchases before re-
turning home. There was no packet ar
rived IRON above, consequently receipts
were light, as follows: Bacon 172 ties; Corn
3S4 sacks; Cattle p head; Cotton Seed
Il42 sacks; Hay Is bbls; Broom Corn Is
bales; Pork 10 bales; T%urpentine 6 bbls
4 bales new Cotton.
