We call the particular attention OF
our merchants to a notice. in an
other column, signed by the several
Banks Of the city, which we think
wiz work q total revolution in the
mode Of conducting the most proita-
bic and largest branch Of trade in
Memphis. We have been looking for
a movement Of this sort for some
time. When It is remembered that
by the custom SO long prevalent here
banks have too frequently been left
with an empty bag TO hold, we think
that the change wiz be hailed with
satisfaction by the larger number Of
the cotton trade, which we rejoice to
be sble to say represents much Of the
commercial ability and integrity OF.
Memphis, Last year our banks han
died SAC, 000, 600 OF exchange; to render
this business more secure, and to in
sure all parties concerned the fullest
measure Of fair play, a more tangible
security viii hereafter be exacted, and
the best and most approved evidence
Of the sOlvency of parties drawing
bills. This lardy step by the banks
puts the cotton trade Of Memphis upon
the strongest basis and q footing equal
10 that Of New Orleans or New York.

that he has achieved the deception
that has only succeeded with himself,
and made others believe he is as

man grows old, for he is never young.
The beer acknowledgement OF centuries
is in the nfe-bloodo OF the race, and
their very childhood Is dreary, fog

RUSSIA imported in 1867, and doe;
nearly every year, about $4,000 l
roubles worth Of raw cotton. But,
strange to say, none of this cotton
comes from the United States, and
the cotton mills Of Moscow and st.
Petersburg, which run 5000, 600 OF
100000 spindles, are almost ex-
cIusively fed from the fields Of Egypt,
Brazil and Italy. 1t might be well to
send an agent of the Gulf States to
Russia with cotton samples that CON-
parsons may be instituted, not only
as to the value Of the cotton, but the
cost Of its transfer from India and from
the United States, BY Russian mill
owners. The haIbor OF st. Petersburg
is not closed by ice till November,
and shipments Of new cotton could be
made to that port during September
and October. The ocean distance
from Charleston or Norfolk is greatly
less than from Calcutta, and there
seems no reason why American cotton
cannot be substituted in the Russian
market for the inferior product az
other tropical regions.
