expectation will be realized, even il
the shipments reach the figure named.
The New Orleans Times of Saturday
saws: The stock by our running state
ment is now 226, $50 bales, against
2l2.s44 last week, and 164,047 last year.
The receipts proper this week. are 81
AGO bales (the heaviest since the war
against q 1858 last week, n 2l,0S4
last year; and since September lst,
compared with last year, show an eX-
cess Of IS, 755 bales, against .IO,Sl9 on
last Friday. The excess in the re-
ceipts over last year is increasing, and
is the common topic of remark in cot
ton circles. Some parties contend that
IT is no more than might be expected,
and should not require any increase
in estimates, but the popular view is
that the crop will prove larger than
has been generally anticipated, and
parties who originally calculated on
2,600 600 bales, now cOncede 100000,
while others predict from 2,7j0,OO0 to
100000. 1t is satisfactory to know
that even the outside figures will hard
ly give more than will be required for
Consumption, and that the proceeds
cannot fail to materially increase the
prosperity of the Southern States.

OFFICE OF THE DAILY APPEAL,
MEMPHIS. February II, 1870.
The money market for the week has
been moderately easy, but as a gen
erai thing Exchange has been scarce.
OF the 5000 or 1000 bales of foreign cot
ton awaiting shipment, and alluded
to by US last week, only about 250O
bales have been signed for, so that a
large amount of currency is stilllOcked
up, causing considerable embarrass-
ment at one o two of our prominent
discount houses. How long this will
last, We cannot tell, as tonnage is
scarce, and so far as we can learn, all
efforts to secure the shipment of the
remaining 1000 bales have met with
Door success. Rates have ruled steady,
anu at the close are firm. Eastern
bills are taken readily at discount,
and our ban!Ss check at par rs a rule,
but in someinsssnces make exceptions
OF 81 TO 81 p per SIcS0 discount. we
do not wish it understood that all u
banks are short of EXchangC, rs sQLue
have at all times kept up goCA
ances, and have met the demand frC$
~. Currency on the streets Is grow
ing easier, and No. / paper IS dis
counted at | per cent. per month with
out difficulty, while exceptional cases
are frequent at even easier rates.
CITY scrip Is weak. The city will
not receive checks against balances
due, and in consequence tax payers
are unable 70 use anything except cOu-
pOns, which, 10 many instances are
not OF the proper amount, few taxes
are being paid. Dealers sell in a small
way at soc, and would ill an order at
sSc TO 79c for a round lot.
County Warrants are steady at soc
selling. The demand is moderately
active. Buying at 76 TO nc.
Tennessee money is firm, though
there is some disposition TO
cry il down by dealers who are short.
Very little is held here, and holders
will not sell under soc.
Tennessee Bonds have huctuated
considerably since our last. The New
York dispatches to-day quote them as
follows: Old, 81; new, 53g.
Gold has not varied much during
the week, but closes with symptoms
of a movement either for the better or
worse. 1t opened to-day at ll99, soon
dropped To 49,, and closed at -.
The downward movement developed
several lots in our market, and 0der-
ings were better than they have been
for some weeks. Dealers bought at
full New York rates, and in a few IN
stances paid 8 fraction over. The de
mand Is light.
Governments sympathize with gold,
and were lower to-day, closing dull as

Several of our leading houses are
getting new stocks, and are already
prepared to fill orders for spring
goods. Those merchants who went
East to purchase, have nearly all re-
turned, and are getting everything in
/ readiness for large receipts during the
next few weeks. They have in all
| cases left their orders at the factories
for suitable goods for the trade, and
! look forward 70 a heavy demand at
an early day, as 1t Is thought prices
viii advance with the season. Stocks
are large and well assorted, and deal
srs r making concessions on some
! STYLES. The demand is active, and
embraces spring goods to a large ex-
tent.
The successful culture of Southern
soil for two years past, has placed
plapters and merchants OF this cOun-
try above the hand to mouth position
they occupied for some time after the
close of the late var Their improved
financial condition, prospects OF in
/ creased yield and future independence,
makes them anxious 10 purchase sup
plies in the cheapest markets. The
merchants of Arkansas and Louisiana,
acting as distributing Rgents for i'm
/ mense quantities of Northwestern pro
! duce. desire to obtain provisions direct
from packers, grain from growers, and
merchandise from manufacturers.
With this object in view, and a wish
TO encourage direct trade between the
rich cotton lands Of the Red and
| Ouachita river country, several OF the
most prominent dealers Of Camden,
Trenton and Monroe, among which
! are the names of FlournOy 4 Millsaps,
| Head, Williamson & Co, Standeier 4
/ Mcclure, Bond & Guthrie, o. b. Reg
ister, Stump d Kidd, and MaXey q
| Blocker, and Others, have signed a
| call to meet and to discuss the practi-
cability of, and the probable advan-
tages they may derive in aiding and
oIco1rag{n0 direct communication
with st. Louis in the purchase of
Western produce. -Four or five deeply
laden steamers have already passed
down from st. Louis direct to the
Ouachita, and during the next two
months, one packet per week Will
likely be dispatched. The Mary Nc
Donald, that went down a day or two
since, carried freights at the following
prices to Camden: Flour, 81 %; pork,
81; whisky, g IS; corn, zoe; hay, SOc;
pound freights, 75c. The Red river
line has been operated successfully for
some time, and charges from st. Louis
are but little above those from New
Orleans. These through lines, which
have prung up so suddenly and as
sumed proportions Of magnitude, bid
fair to increase In the future, until they
control the business Of supplying the
Southwest with Western produce and
merchandise.

TRADE.

Tba weather since our last has been
warm and somewhat variable, though
we have had no rain to speak of, and
the roads are in excellent condition.
The demand for all staple plantation
supplies remains active, ana prices
are firm. The feed market Is actlVe,
| and large orders are daily coming IN,
I while every boat from above Is loaqed
to the guards with corn ana oIher
I produce for this and other southern
ports. Provisions are active, though
weak. and receipts are liberal in the
way Of bulk meats, while mess pork IS
scarce and fiTmer than early In the
week.
The want Of transportation TO the
interior has been a source of much all
nOyance since our last. Our railroads
East and South have for some days
refused local freights, and have injured
our city very materially in this way.
| The matter will probably be remedied
at an early day; meanwhile, we in
dOrSe the following, which we take
from the Bolivar Baistia, in reference
to the matter: "In the Senate on the
Sth. Mr.. Hall introduced a bill to pre-
vent State railroads from discriminate
ing in favor Of through freight against
/ local freight. This IS a move in the
rightdirectiOn, and Mr.. Hall deserves
the thanks of the people in making 1t.
When il is proposed to build a rail-
road the people along the line are in
duced to take stock in the same by
being told that it will be of great local
advantage. But in many instances,
- - NHa U-aA % hnTI% urn ann-
uections made with large cities, way
stations and small towns are giVea the
cold shoulder. We hope the bill will
pass"
An official report has inst been
published at St. Petersburg, from
which it appears that the Russisn i'm
ports have considerably increased dur
ing the past year, especially in artl-
Giles OF luxury. The increase in the
importation of tea over that of 1868
was $1,000 pounds 10000 cwt.); 0f
coffee, 10000 pounds 10000 cwt,);
and Of tobacco and wine in proportion.
The exports, on the other hand, have
been gradually diminishing during the
last few years. In 1868 the quantity
OF corn exported was ll,0O0,UU ~ OF
teheveFtsi iE 1869 it was only $780,
600; C. tax, $500 coo pounds in 1868,
and 1900, 06G IN 1869; of wool, Il,090,-
OOO in 1865, and $500, coo il 1863.
DRY GOODS.
This branch Of business has i'm
proved, and prices remain the same as
last week. Spring styles will be ar
riVing the latter part Of this or the
first Of next week, and dealers look
forward to a brisk demand at an early
day. OF the New York market, an
exchange says: "There is some bust
ness doing in the market, bat not to
any-nOtable extent Is vet. The de-
mand for sheetings and shiTtings has
increased somewhat, but is not very
active. There is some demand for
cotton drills. In prints there is a fair
business, but not as much as was m
ticipated. The stocks offered by the
iobbefs are attractive, but the demand
from the interior is not active as yet.
In cloths the business is more active,
and prices are maintained. The BUSH
ness Ia hannels is about as usual at this
time of year. In foreign goods the
sales are moderate, and about the
same a. last week"
