The CheaneafY

Every rejecting person will acknowledge
that the cheapest article is not that which
costs the least money, but that which
yields the greatest percentage of advan-
tages for the amount invested. Tried by
this sure cri, erion, Louisiana Creole Hair
Restorer will readily be acknowledged by
all who try it to be, without doubt, the
cheapest Hair Restorer ever offered to the
public. 1t would be easy to add some in
ert oil and increase its bulk, and sell in
twice the size bottles, but what would the
consumer gain, for he must use twice as
much to produce'the same effect; and
when we consider how rapidly new hair
will grow upon bald surface by the ap-
plication of Louisiana Creole Hair Re
storer, how the new hair, like the hair CT
early youth, shows itself rich, luxuriant
and glossy, all who try it will confess that
always the best is the cheapest, and Louis
lana Creole Hair Restorer is the best.

The cotton movement at this season is
necessarily unimportant, as nearly the
whole of our surplus has gone abroad. 1t
for the five weeks, the receipts have been
28, 900 bales above those of last year, the
exports, from all ports, have been only go
bales more
Thus far, then, the effect of the war has
been Injurious to our commerce. We
deem it proper to give due prominence to
this unwelcome fact, because there is a
very foolish notion in some quarters that
we must profit by the misfortunes of other
nations with which we have extensive in
tercourse, and because this misapprehen-
sion prevents many from taking those pre-
cautions which are imperatively called for
by the present condition of things.

Travel,

The tide of travel has been reversed du-
ring the last few weeks. A short time
since the several railroads teemed with
pleasure parties, excursionists and business
persons going North. As the hot weather
subsidies and the cool, bracing atmosphere
of autumn prevails, bringing buoyaney,
elasticity and vigor into all the departments
of trade, the course of travel has changed,
and all the southwark bound trains are
filed with passengers returning to their
several homes. Many of our own good
citizens have returned from their summer
jaunt, and are again engaged in their &C
customed ayocations.

We understand that an old negro man

about six miles from the Alabama line, and

Our Foreign Trade as Affected by
the War.

The following is from the New York
Bulletin of late date:
For the last six weeks, notwithstanding
the almost total interruption of receipts
from the German ports, the imports have
been only half a million dollars below those
for the same period last year, while the ex-
ports exclusive of specie, for the same time,
had been $6,000,0 900 less than in 1869.
The expectations of largo increase in the
exports of food products have been but
very partially realized. Indeed, the ship
ments of -four, wheat, cheese and bacon,
for the last five weeks, have been less than
for the same period last year; while in
pork and lard only mas there been any i'm
portant increase. The following state
ment shows the exports of leading food
products from this port from July Is to
August IL, period of five weeks, as COM
pared with the same period of last year:
