block of the Mosaic in money matters
was of the same color and in the same
place as for some time past. Discounts
stood in Stotp quo, and rates of interest
for loans negotiated in the good old
usurlous way were the same. In vain the
tribe of dealers cast their lines in pleasant
places in hopes of trade. Nets were
hauled IN again and again without single

pretended panic could prevail over the
stolid Indifference to all things which
seemed to prevail yesterday.

Sugar comes into port slowly There
is every indication that the crop will be
much larger this year than the last, a
comparison of reports showing grateful
exuberance of cane in all sections, more
especially in Lafourche and Terrebonne.
one report from the country, however,
states that She sugar crop has been dam
aged by the late rains The Planters
Ba111'er mentions an instance where the
standing cane sprouted prematurely, and
according to the statements of planters,
this viii damage the crop, both for seed
and for sugar making. AS an element at
work to diminish the coming sugar crop,
1t should not be lost sight OF.
Cotton reports are so far posted so
much out of the way that it is difficult to
say what the crop viii be, though the
general opinion is that it will be much
less.
Whatever is going to be done with the |
large stock Of -four on hand this fact is |
patent; the market is dull, and hourly |
growing more so. True, holders stick up
or their prices, and only let up when
clouds begin to shadow; hence the mu-
uaI concession Of buyer to the seller and
ice tsrSq, which constitutes the soul of
rade, IS wanting, and dealing becomes
lysPeptic as mouldy biscuits.
The many square miles of warehouses
re now filled with hog products, bread
tufts, sugars and molasses, awaiting the
ime when the demands of brisk winter
rade will draw them out.

THE NEW POLICE COMMISSIONERS.

William R. Whitaker, Esq, in conse-
quence of his rapidly increasing law bust
ness, has felt compelled to resign his
position on the Police Board. He was an
excellent officer, and received a deserved
compliment from the Governor on the &C.
casion of his retiring. But while we have
lost the services of this deficient gentle
man, we have every reason to be satisfied
with his successor, Mr.. William Baker.
He is TOD well known to all the intelli-
gent people of New Orleans to require an
introduction from Us. He has had a wide
experience in the performance of official
duties, and whether as Street Commits
sioner, State Registrar of Voters, member
OF the Police Roard or Deputy Collector
of Customs, be has been at all times
distinguished for energy, application to
his duties, intelligence and strict intee
rity. He has the rare reputation of being
charged with many delicate and import
ant trusts, and betraying none.

We learn that the Board of Health has
officially requested the Council to cause
the cutters to be well washed out at least
once day during the present dry spell.
Recently we had copious showers daily.
which performed this duty very efectu-
ally; but since their cessation, many of
the cutters are sadly in need of the
cleansing and refreshing influence of

will be promptly complied with, in all
streets where it is practicable. In some
of them, up town, water can be let in
directly from the river.
