TRADE.
The weather is very warm and business
is not brisk in any department, though
there is a moderate order demand, and
the packets which go out tomorrow VIII
have good trips Of miscellaneous mer-
~shandise. From above receipts are
large. The M. J.. Wicks brought in
about 1000 tons, and the City of Alton
had almost as much. Low rates of
| freight have induced thsss heavy ship
ments, and tomorrow at least 6009 bbls.
-four will be discharged at u levee.
! Much Of this flour was delivered at our
levee at Sc pei Dbl, and other lots at loo
per Dbl. We learn to-day thst rates have
| again advanced in st. Louis to 25e per
Dbl, but as yet we are not fully advised.
There is a strong disposition among ouF
merchants to obligate themselves to
ship by the new line at some fixed rate
say I5c per 100 on pound freight, and zoe
per Dbl. on flour, or less if the boats can
merely sustain themselves at a less rate.
Meats are steady to-day, but the demand
is light, ana sQme holders are a little
weak in consequence. / Let Of bacon
| shoulders on levee were closed out at
1870. Bran and hay are weak and de-
cIining, but corn continues firm, and
oats are steady.
The New York Herald, in an editorial
on the subject of"TOo much Cotton and
too little Corn in the South, says: sit
seems that the universal complaint at
some points Is that too much land has
been planted in cotton and too little in
corn, 80 much so as to warrant the pre-
dietion that, from present appearances,
cotton seed will have to take the place
Of corn for man and beast next fall and
winter This is unfortunate. Before the
warit was the great mistake of the South
to be Obliged 20 buy from year to year the
actual necsssaries Oflife, aud rely for pay
ment thereof upon ths growing stt te,
and when the crash came she was Hkeen
unprovisioned garrison, filled with brave
men with empty stOmachs. The South
must rely more upon her own fields for
her breadstufis and provisions and less
upon the grain and bacon of the great
West. If a lesser breadth of cotton be
planted the price of the staple will be
cOrrespOndingly increased, in conse-
Qusnae of a diminished supply, and in
any event, provided in she meantime
plenty OF corn and grain be planted, they
will have plenty of food for mEn and
beast, without paying fve-fola t-or the
same to the West and California. The
danger of the South in the future lies in
having too much cotton and too little
corn"
