Trade in general for the week hal
been quiet and steady, with the vari'
Gus markets well supplied and a fail
local and shipping trade doing. In
plantation supplies there is a better
feeling and an improvement percept.
ibae. Favorable reports of the grow
ing crops of the country adjacent tC
Memphis have stimulated our mer-
chants, and they now seem disposed
to and are making advances to plant
ems on their growing crops. The crop:
in Arkansas, from which Memphis de
rives a good trade, are also reported
in a furnishing condition; hence, a;
the season advances, the favorable re
ports tend to create a better feeling in
mercantile circles, and our Front street
houses anticipate a good business this
fall. South of Memphis, in the int
riOr, the crops are in grass, owing to
the ineficiency of labor. The cold and
wet weather of the spring and back
Wsrdness of the season has retarded
the growth of the cotton stands; in
many cases whole fields have been
abandoned 20 the grass The acreage
of cotton now being titled will fall
short OF the June report made by the
Agricultural Bureau. 1t will require
a favorable fall for many of the plant
ers to make half q crop. An improve
ment in the dry goods trade is per
ceptible. Orders from the interior are
coming in more freely. Cotton goods
in New York during the week have
advanced 10 per cent. Prices here are
| firm, and orders are being filed for the
city and country trade at New York
