New ORLEANS, March 5.--The Fair
building burned this morning. Loss
$4,000, Insurance $4,000. Powers
statue Of Washington, belonging to the
State, was destroyed.
NEW YORK, March 5.--The cotton
movement for the week shows a con-
tinued falling off in receipts, although
the total is still very largeand indicates
a crop greater in extent than the gem
cral estimates.
IN contradistinction to the decrease in
receipts this week, the very large in
crease in exports and total shipments to
Great Britain and the continent are the
largest for any week this season.
The great accumulation of cotton at
sea and ports and interior towns, not
Withstanding the enormous increase in
exports over last year, has completely
demoraiized the trade and caused a
marked depression in all quarters.
The decline in the price Of cotton for
the week, on the value ofthe total crop,
represents shrinking of about thirteen
millions of dollars.
y great difficulty with the cotton
trade is thatspecuiators have been over
trading on the advent of peace in t.u-
rope, and hence, when peace is declared,
the market takes sudden plunge down
ward instead ofadvancing.
In the cotton trade. the great bulk of
spectators were fortified against peace
by having large amount of cotton Oh
hand, and, as soon as peace came, some
Of them started to realize, which was
the commencement OF the present de-
pressed condition of affairs; in plain
terms, there was too much company on
the sBull" side of the market.
Receipts at all ports for the week
i26,s35 bales; against 1864 last week,
l4l 1857 the previous week, and 161, O95
three weeks since.
Total receipts since September 2,9l7,-.
GIG bales; against 2,lS9,5la for CORES
ponding period of previous year.
Exports from all ports for the week

week of last year.
Total exports for the expired portion
ofthe cotton year ,S4S, 3O6 bales; against

A Great California Orchard.

A few days ago it Was our pleasure 10
visit the orchard Of John Briggs, located
about mile south of Yuba City, IN SUIT
ter county. The proprietor is the owner
of 426 acres, mostly bottom ltnd, wing
along the west bank of the FEATHER river.
The soil ia rich, sandy loan. and c. M
posed Of the yearly deposits OF the river
many wears ago. No b. tier ar richer
land ia 70 be fonnd in the -'n'", nd the
orchard ~e III ~ 'ri+fy not c. p'om'sts
to be- the pride Of the Briggs Br''thers,
who have state population Ms orchard
lists and fruit growers. Before reaching
the orchard proper we rode through a
field of $50 acres of castor beans, growing
in the most luxurious manner-which
field, by-the-by, is to give place to n new
orchard next year, the fruit trees for the
same at present growing in the nursery
by the side of the field of castor beans,
and containing $4,000 one. year-old bud
ded peach trees, 10000 plum trees, 5000
eastern walnuts, $4,000 California wal
nuts, 1000 apple trees, 500 italian chest
nut trees, etc. Passing along through
this forest of young trees, we arrived at
the present peach orchard, consisting Of
600 trees, two years old, and some Of
them bearing this year $50 pounds of
peaches. These trees have made a
remarkable growth owing to the
rich ground upon which they are plant
ed, and in another year will make a tre-
mendous yield of fruit. Passing the peach
orchard we reached the apricots, 1900 in
number, which are almost two years old.
and have borne y fair crop the present
season. This orchard presented sad
sight in one respect. The late heavy storm
had Frustrated many of the trees entire,
while in others the limbs had been torn
off as if tremendous tornado had swept
over the place. However, the trees were
healthy and stout, notwithstanding the
mutilations here and there. We next
rode into the cherry orchard, containing
5000 of the most thrifty young trees ever
seen on any ground. The different vari-
cites. fifteen in number, gave this orchard
a variety of aspect, and broke up the
usual monotony of the steeple-like formed
cherry orchard. These cherry trees were
all imported from Rochester, n. Y, about
three years ago. Off to the south of this
wonderful wilderness are two thousand
five hundred plum trees, of twelve vari-
cites, and FIVE hundred apple trees, mostly
of winter varieties On returning from
the orchard by the wagon road we had
entered, we visited Briggs Brothers
steam power castor oil mill. Here we
found a magnificent hydraulic press, with
eighty pounds pressure, and possessing a
capacity Of COMPRISING three hundred
gallons of oil per day. The mill also con-
tanned twenty tons of CASTOR beans and
two thousand five hundred gallons of oil,
nicely bottled and eased ready for market.
