This source OF wealth, until lately quite un-
known, is attracting general attention by the
richness AID importance OF the deposits. AS a
fertilizer, IT'S reputation is established, and while
1t is shipped to al parts OF the North, and is be-
coming generally used in Great Britain, 1t is lead
ing TO the Establishment in this vicinity Of large
companies for the manufacture Of fertilizers.
Several million dollars have been embarkedtn THIS
business during the past year, and some OF the
companies which were in existence for few
seasons past were unable, during the past winter,
TO supply tie demand for their guanos. The eX-
ports for the year past closed were 3o,s62 tons,
against &c 600 tons the year previous.
NAVAL STORES, LUMBER, &C.
The trade in naval stores exhibit a m oderate
Increase during the year, The exports having
been 1880 barrels, against 6e,470 last season.
The use Of petroleum and the building Of iron
ships has interfered with the traac in these COM
modities. In consequence Of the want OF activity
In building at the North, the exports Of lumber
show decline. The exports Of domestics and
yarns has been an important item, amounting to
abou! 1900 bales Clay for porcelain has also
been sent forward to the extent Of about 6eoo
hogsheads, and the basiness in vegetables nas
been large.

OF prosperity and enlarged trade. Her monled
power and railroad facilities have shown improve

THE CRors-The season for the week just clos.
ed has been in all respects suitable for maturing
,ne crops, and cotton is opening rapidly, and rice
is being harvested. There are increasing com.
plants Of rust, and in some sections OF The mid.
die country and seaboard there has been con-
siderable damage done, and the disease appears
10 he spreading. Wherever this malady prevails
il stops all further chance for any new growth
The general intelligence. however, from most sec
tions still indicates healthy condition OF vegeta
ton, with excellent prospects for full yield.
TEE REcRlrTs-The arrivals for the week up to
Friday last were 5454 bales against 52s7t the week
before, and 1915 for the period last year. At New
Orleans the receipts were 6e2 in contrast with
s5s the year before The total supplies at the COT

THE RICE CROP.
This valuable grain has been grown for several
years past under many difficulties. The damage
sustained by estates during the war required
large outlay to place them in order, and proprie-
tors were not IN position to make the eXpendi-
ture and much valuable rice land Still remains
uncul,ivated in consequence. II paying figures

be expected, and plantations now lying idle will
be brought under cultivation. The area planted
