D4sAlHeo UpeQEu lNtLltE NUdn E0E "a week or
more previous. The depression last week In
the staple caused business generally to drag
and beyond the local trade there was but little
doing. Planters and country merchants have
been holding up for better prices in cotton.
purchasing only what was actually needed
for present emergencies. There wss no i'm
pruyement in the price Of cotton this morning,
but supplies running short, the demand must
be met, hence the renewed activity in trade
this morDing; and dealers anticipate o good
business during the week. Since SATURDAY
night q large quantity Of grain and produce
arrived at this port, and while on the levee we
noticed a great difficulty in weighing grain.
The city weigher labors under this difficulty
He has 10 platform scales, but must carry his
stuff 10 private scales and do his weighing.
which Is inconvenient and very UNSATISFACTORY
to merchants; and the attention Of our CITY
fathers Is called 10 this important matter. An
appropriation should be made at once 10 erect
a pair Of platform scales, convenient to the
greatest number interested. over ZOO sacks OF
corn arrived since saturday night, which has
caused a decided decline in the. market; 80
sold iOr 60c; me same corn this time ISst week
sold for re Hay Is IN better supply and low
eri % bales prime sold at sA per ton. Oats are

doing, the market being well stocked; 40 bbls

grades, Is IN active demand, and no decline in
fancy brands there Is q slight decline Of Is TO

very little doing In a speculative way-trans-
actions mainly confined 10 home consumption.
We heard OF no sales to-day worthy of men,

there has been a good business. The depreS- |
sioa In the cotton market has slightly affected /
ths price in bagging. We quote Pm IKE, and |
24-h is 70 lS1ac; in some cases for extra heavy |
l9e is realized. In groceries there is but little |
change to note. New mOlasses is lower, and |

10 choice Coffee remains at the extreme ad-
vance u gained last week, and is firm al quota /
tons, with but little or no prospect OF a de-
cline, but rather on the contrary. Dealers are |
constantly looking for a further advance. In
sugars there is some speculation. One firm is
IN receipt OF some of the new crop, and selling |
at IZ5Sc, white. In speaking OF the new Louis
lana crop, the Shipping-Listo of New York says: 4
"A planter, who has lately visited every plan
tatlon along the coast Is represented az ex- \
pressing the opinion that the sugar crop OF
Louisiana for lS7l-2 Will fall at least 5000
hOgsheads short Of I57o-l. This seems ike q de-
moralized statement, and yet the history OF
@ugar planting in that state affords frequent
Parallels, the most noted one being 1861, when
tn. crop only amounted TO 1900 hogsheads,
agx<nst 2S2,000 hOgsheads in 1856. The pasI
WiEFer was unusually severe, and the con-
tinut1 cold weather materially injured the
stuhC]9-csne, particularly in the upper par
ishes, while early this summer continuous
heavy 2ains seriously retarded blowing ar
rangesnents, and contributed largely 70 re-
duoinE the yield, IN addition to the unfavor-
able weather, the levees, which have been
neglected 50 long, by reason OF the IMPROVE
dent adm lnistration Of state and parish az
fairs, way before the high waters of the
early summer, causing several very disastrous
erevasses along the upper and lower coast, and
laying waste 8 considerable section of the most
fertile and productive sugar lands Of the State
