FALL PROSPECTS.
Notes Of Improvements and Busi-
ness on the streets.

ness on the StreetS-
There are indications OF an early, ac-
tive fall business People are returning
from their summer trips by every train
that arrives, and many strangers are
pouring in, from the North and West
particularly. These come mostly to
prospect the city, with view of locating
permanently. We believe all such will
be favorably impressed. When they walk
around our streets they will see new
buildings going up or just completed on
nearly every square where there is room
for another house Goyer's elegant
business house, on the corner Of Main
and Jefferson, is prominent instance;
also the tasteful and costly brown stone
front building of the Merchants lnsur-
ance Company, on Madison street. near
the LEDGER Office; also the building just
finished below Main. on Madison, and
the foundations laid for another in the
same neighborhood; also the costly
business houses on the corner Of Front
and Union, built for Captain Church
and Mr. Harrington; also the new
buildings built by the Stewart Brothers,
if we are not mistaken, on Front, be-
tween Union and Gayoso; also, the
large business block going up on Union
below Main, and other buildings put up
this summer or going up, solely for busi-
ness purposes. Besides these, many
smaller improvements are going on;
houses are to be enlarged, painted up,
and made to look as good as new, and
there is more reference had to APP
pearances than usual, which bespeaks
an improvement of public taste. In the
suburbs many new houses can be seen,
and some of them are costly tasteful
and elegant. The indications of our
prosperity are visible on every hand;
il can be seen on the levee in piles Of
freight, at the depots, on Front Row, on
Main street 1t is visible in new faces,
and the metropolitan crowds who make
Main street look like another Broad
way every afternoon. The close
observer cannot fail to see these
things, and to feel ihat better day
has dawned for Memphis. If no unusual
misfortune befalls this city, the place
will grow more in the next two years
than ever before in six or eight
years. The crops are fine, the people
hopeful, the country healthy and peace
full, and the general prospects of Mem
phis and the country around more favor
able than they have been at any time
since 1860. When our water works are
built, and the price of gas reduced, Mem
phis will be as desirable city to live in
as perhaps any in the country. And
when the probable railroads in contem-
plation are built, this will be as great
railroad center as Chicago; the country
around is as rich and as great in re-
sources, and within few years, it is
reasonable to predict Memphis will be
doubled in population, and her wealth
more than twice doubled

Referring to .he future conrse of gold.

Referring to the future course of gold,
the same circular says
"The future course of the gold pre-
MUM is more than usually uncertain.
Home influences are at present favorable
to low price Of gold. The reduction Of
taxation, the generally prosperous CON
diton Of the business Of the country
and the steady improvement 10 the pub
lie credit, if allowed to have their due
weight, without counteraction, would be
likely to carry the premium to lower
figure than was touched during the de-
cline of late months. But with great
war influencing our exchanges with
countries with which we have had i'm
mense commercial and financial transac-
tons, and with constant liability to an
export of specie, from causes noted
above, the premium is to be regarded as
being controlled by wholly exceptional
influences, the precise effect Of which at
any particular period it must be difficult
TO forecast.
COTTON
The receipts of cotton for the year
ending were 29O, 1871 bales; for the year
previous, 247 ,69s. Exports for the year
ending yesterday were 2s6,55l; for the
previous year, A7,65l. Stock on hand,
by actual count, 1890 bales, against "a
bales the previous year. The market to-
day opened with moderate demand for
choice grades, and no inquiry whatever
for inferior grades. Holders ask from
Is to lSlc for middling and II to IL DC for
low middling, and are firm in their views.
The sales reported up to noon were 30
bales strict low middlng at l74c; IS
bales middling at l8I to l8lc; few bales
of ordinary at l3lc, and II bales good
ordinary at Ice. The New York market
opened quiet at previous quotations.
Sales yesterday in that market for future
delivery we're as follows; 500 bales for
September delivery at l9Bc; 200 bales for
October at l6sc; 200 bales for November
at 1863; 500 bales for October at l6Bc.
The Liverpool market opened firm; up
lands, sgd; orleans, 81.
A New York circular Of recent date,
referring to the effect of the European
war, says: " Perhaps the principal injury
to this has been sustained by the cotton
interest, which must have lost heavily
upon consignments, but as the derange-
ment has occurred at period of the
year when little cotton remains unsold,
the injury to this interest cannot be re-
garded as very severe. Already we see
a very rapid recovery from the first
symptoms of depression.

NapoIeon's Letter to M. Ollivier-Magna
Charta as Defined by Imperialism.


Charta rs Defined by Imperialism.
The Emperor Napoleon has addressed the
following letter to Nj. Olivier:
81 think it opportune, under present cir
cumstances, to adopt all reforms required
by the constitutional government of the
Empire, in order to put an end to the itn-
moderate desire for change which prevails
in certain minds, and also not to leave pub
lie opinion unsettled by creating instability.
"The first place / accord to those re-
forms which refer to the constitution and
the prerogatives of the Senate. The con-
stitution of 1852 and above all things to
provide the Government with the means OF
establishing authority and order, but it re-
manned to be perfected. But it was neces-
sary that it should remain perfectible. as
long as the state of the country would not
permit the establishment of public liberties
on solid bases At the present time,
when successive changes have gradually
created constitutional regimein harmony
with the bases laid down in the plebiscite,
it is important to replace in the domain of
law all that more specially has reference to
the preservation of legislative order, to
impress ~ definite character upon the latest
reforms, to place the constitution above all
controversy. to call upon the Senate-that
grand body which contains so many bril-
liant men-to lend to the new regime their
most efticacious concurrence.
IT Therefore request you to come to an
understanding with your colleagues and
Law before me the draft of 3 Senatus Con-
ssIt,rn which shall firmly fix the funda-
mental dispositions derived from the
plebiscite of 1852, and which shall divide
the Legislative power between the two
chambers. and restore to the nation that
portion Of constituent power it had dele
gated 10 me. NAPOLEON"
