sants substantial and cheering progress. A

latter %, lj1 tierces tall packages reduced to
tierces7, against 1881 last year and 6628
the year before. Compared with the last
year the latter embrace 1868 tierces to
Great Britain, against 97l; 775l to France,
against zoos; 81 TO the rest Of Europe,
against none; G039 to Cuba, against 6l63,
IA TO other foreign ports. mostly Mexican,
against 81; 7i3 to New York, against Sc,
and 1901 to Southern domestic ports,
almost exclusively gulf, against 4l8b. The
stimulus impaired to this trade is smanifestly
from the heavy hog product, depressing
prices to the limits Of surplus for export.
When the supplies are light the West may
dictate prices and control the market; when
the supply is excessive the surplus must find
an outlet to other markets, and prices must
decline to their parity. Whenever the West
has a sufficient surplus to provide US
working stock, instead of merely supplying
the demand for consumption, foreign buy
ers promptly come forward at fair prices,
freigbts, exchange and the quotations on
the other side considered. In sympathy
with other products OF the hog, the market
has shown a pretty general downward
tendency, tierces opening in September at
IGtsc, declining by the middle Of December
to 90l0c, and ruling for the ensuing four
months irreguIarly, but within the same
range, since which they have shown some
fluctuations, but never sunk below 82ec as
the inside rate nor rose above l0C as the
outside.

PORK-Tnere is hardly m article Of more
interest to the planteG, and consequently to
the entire South, than barrel pork, which,
with bacon, constitute large part Of tac
food OF agricultural labOreTs. Upon the
price OF meat greatly. depends the cost Of
making cotton, and its cheapneBs during
the past year has been Of great benefit u
the planting interest. Last year mess pork
opened at $50, and, exhibiting pretty gen
eral downward tendency throughout the
year closed at ST. %. This year open
ing at these low prices, it soon raj
lied and continued to exhibit an
upward tendency until the latter part Of
February, when it touched it highest point
of Sl6 75 it'then gave way, until the mid
die of June. when it sunk to its lowest
point OF $l2 50. Under some speculative
movements at the West it has since harden
ed, and closed yesterday at SIS. The low
range of prices may be regarded as the
legitimate result Of a large crop, the effect
of which has been only partially neutral
lied by an unusual demand for foreign ex-
port. The cheapness of the hog product
has undoubtedly augmented consumption
but our receipts Of barrel pork, nevcrthe-
less, show a material falE2g off from last
year, embracing only lt2,2i4 bbls, against
l25,727 bbIs last year, indicating the

We adopt their circular in preference to our
usual review:
As We predicted in our last annual report,
the returns Of the past year show con
siderable falling of in the Louisiana rice
crop compared with the previous year. At
that time We attributed the probable de-
crease not only to the reduction il acreage IN
several parishes, but also to various other
causes. such as want Of water tor irrigation,
a severe drouth i'll the months Of June ami
July. and the Bonnet Carre creyasse-the
latter causing, alone, loss Of not less than
5000 bbls The consequence was that the
crop of rice Of 1871 amounted to no more
than 32. 900 hbIa, clean-a falling Oft of over
IL 900 bbIs from that Of 1870, the total re

ALL ROADS LEADING PROM GREE
LEY LEAD To GRANT,

At a public meeting held a few days
since in New Orleans, to ratify the Gin
cinnati platform and the nomination of
Greeley, Governor Hebert, the President
of the meeting, said: Remember that
all roads leading from Greeley lead to
Grant" This sentiment abOunds with
truth, and should make a deep impress
sion upon all who would defeat Grant.
1t is as plain as the sun at noon, that
Greeley is the only available candidate
10 defeat the administration, and there
fore to oppose him is to IA
vor Grant. The issues are too vital, the
results too important for patriots to diff
fer about the means by which 10 attain
the end. The South is weary of the
glory Of unbroken defeat; her sufferings
have been so bitter that she is willing to
sink party names as the price of deliver-
ance. She is profoundly impressed with
the belief that 'all roads leading from
Greeley lead to Grant, and in solidpha-
lanx, and with the tread Of a determined
soldiery, her hosts will follow thelead OF
Greeley and fight with the desperation
inspired by despair. Believing with
Governor Herbert, Of Louisiana, that
call roads leading from Greeley lead TO
Grant" we deem it unwise and inexpe-
dent in the Baltimore Convention, to
adopt any antagonistic platform, and
we hope the Northern Democracy in
general convention, viii join the Demo-
eracy Of the South, and recommend the
acceptance of the platform adopted at
Cincinnati, and give a jealous, hearty
and enthusiastic support to Greeley and

A CORRESPONDENT of the London
Daily Ne50S, in describing a visit made
to Vesuvius on the twenty-seventh OF
April. says: "The scene was indescriba-
bly, terrible and grand. The mountain
seemed to be literally ON fire. A stream
of lava six meters in hight was rapidly
descending toward lie Cercola and
threatening Porticelli. All the houses
were abandoned, though III reality they
were not much injured. The detona-
tons from Vesuvius were frightful. So
heavy was the fall of cinders that the
sky seemed hidden by them, and they
fell everywhere like rain. The planta-
tions were covered with them, and peo-
pie were walking with umbrellas to pro-
teet themselves from the dOwn-pOur.
The terror of the people was intense.
Women were to be seen going about in
procession, prayingSt. Januarius to have
mercy on them. The streets of Porti-
celI were crowded with peasants hurry
ing away. Others encamped in the
fields, in fear of theearthquake. During
the night the eruption assumed terrible
proportions. The lava reached San Sc
bastian, and destroyed part of it, and
Terra del Greco was threatened.
