experienced hands can grasp the helm
and place her upon the right tack. This,
a. least, will be better than the adoption
Of crude measures calculated onlyto make
confusion worse COMPOUNDED.
The summing up of the quarterly re-
view Of the San Francisco trade and com
merce is interesting both as TO the amount
and increase Of the commercial business
of that port. The foreign imports amount
to nearly 1000, 900, and that received from
New York over the isthmus, S4,2ll,0OO.
Addto this 50. 600 tons of assorted freight
from New York, Boston, Baltimore and
other Eastern ports, of which there was
no means of aseertaining the value, be-
sides large quantities that passed across
the continent and from domestic Pacific
ports. The amount is astonishingly large.
They have 6SS vessels, with a tonnage of
24s. 800 tons, whose freight money, paid on
cargoes from domestic and foreign ports,
was 81, los, 600, about one-half in gold.
The exports from San Francisco for the
quarter consisted OF, merchandise, SS,32i,-
coo; treasure, SlO,254, 200; disbursed for
purposes Of the army, S2,O72,5OO; real es-
tate sales, IS, 626, 900; exports of flour and
wheat, 81 ,62S, 900; wool shipped, nearly
LOOO.OoO pounds; wine, lO4, 600 gallons and
4 200 cases.
In view of the enlarged cotton crops
anticipated this coming season the de-
mand for baling stufs will, it is expect
ed, be larger than usual. on this subject
the St. Louis Times says:
The demand for bagging of all descrip-
tions is, as is evidenced IN our quotations
for several weeks, largelyon the increase.
The crop ofcotton last year exceeded the
general expectations Of the South by 23O,-
900 TO 400, 600 bales. The Impression pre-
walls, therefore, under the much larger
preparation made for the coming crop,
that there will be $500, 900 to 1000, 900
bales sent to market this year, with suita-
bic season, and factors are, in view Of
this, ordering ahead their stocks OF baling
stuiis. At the close of the last season the
stocks here and elsewhere had been re-
duced 10 a very narrow point. A very
[ small crop of hemp has been produced
this year, and prices are steadying
upward daily as the orders for
manufactured stock arrive. The manu-
facture of haX bagging has, as yet, not
been stimulated IN accordance with the
prospective demand, the free use Of India
Oagging having heretofore deferred its
production. As is stated in the circular
of n of our standard firms, ''the visible
supply of foreign bagging is only about
Is, 1000 bales, against $1,000 bales last
year" With this reduction, the yet di-
miuished production Of fax bagging, the
insufficient stock Of hemp for
rure, and the probable increased demand
for baling stutfs, il is likely that prices
--sTT .--l.,s,Fa l., tho Eagr vapfgaa ara
now for India twenty-six, and for domes-
tic twenty-eight cents, and this is a fur
Their reason that we are 20 see an i'm
prOvement here, especially in view Of the
simple fact that u principal mill here
has more han sold its manufacture to
January LIST. If prices, however, advance
too rapidly, the planter can still fall back
upon the iron cotton ties, which many
nave done already and will continue.
The New Orleans Bulletin Of Thursday
says:
We receive very cheering accounts re-
garding the country lying above II be-
yOnd Shreveport in Louisiana and Texas,
from MIR. NJ. NJ. b. Hav, proprietor of the
Shreveport News and The Hanvine Tex
as Net0s. The latter town is situated at
the present terminus of the Southern Pa
ciHc Railroad from Shreveport into Texas.
MIR. Hay informs us that 5000 bales Of
cotton are sill to be received by this road,
and tina $1,000 bales remain to
be shipped from the above Raft
with a fine prospect of navlga-
ton. These items added to previ-
GUS receipts at Shreveport Of 10000, will
give a total of $50, 900. The crop prospects
in the region referred to for the present
year are represented as promising inE
unusual degree.
