PROSPECTS OF SOUTHERN TRADE.

The abstract of reports of the vari-
Gus branches of the Mercantile Agen-
! cy is document of some interest to
business men, though great deal of
the matter may have been understood
by them before. The sub-agents of
every considerable business city in the
Union, with the addition of several in
the British Provinces, having made
their reports of the prospects of the
trade this fall in their localities, the
whole IS epitomized and given to the
public. As we have known before, the
crop prospects are all good, as an aver
age, and upon this good basis the pros
perity of the merchant is anticipa-
ted.
At New Orleans, which is the head
quarters for business in the large Gulf
territory, prospects are favorable, as
cotton, rice and sugar all look we'll.
The city's sanitary state is good, but
business has not been over-hOurishing
the last season on account of the poor
collections. In Mobile, Ala, the busi-
ness will depend upon the crops which
centre there, and the prospect Is not
as good as usual. At Galveston, Texas,
they expect to receive $1,000 bales
more of cotton than they did last year.
The cattle, hide and wool trades are
flourishing; but in spite of the large
crops and firm prices of last season,
collections have been very slow, and a
large amount, still outstanding, had to
be carried over, awaiting returns from
the coming crops.
So much for Gulf ports. OF Char
lesion, 5. c., the report is that the
prospects for the coming year are very
favorable, and merchants are prepar-
ing for large trade in the fall, as the
reports from the country are very en-
couraging. The great drawback in
South Carolina and Florida is the
heavy rate of taxation, which cripples
business and keeps away capital but
the compiler of the report should
know that no where at the South is
taxation so severe as tits in Louisiana.
| The reports of prospects at Richmond
and Baltimore are favorable, but the
remark is made that in Richmond the
outlook is cheering, while in Balti-
more merchants do not anticipate a
very large trade. Probably the mer-
chants of the latter city will not agree
to the distinction made. Savannah,
Ga, is wholly left out of the list. If
the merchants of this city are entire
ly free from the inquisition of the
Mercantile Agency they will probably
thank their good fortune even if they
are not recognized in the report. These
are all the Atlantic cities South

Mr.. President, what think you Of
feeding Southern children on pies SO
full of filth and slime and slander ?
Study these pictures in. all their
lights and shades, colors and discolors,
the questions ard their suggestions,
and imagine the impression produced
upon a trusting child. Such things
sink into the deepest cells of the heart
and no after-teaching can eface their
remembrance.
These are specimens of the merit,
style, sentiment and sectionalism of
the First and Second Readers. God
forbid we should banquet our little
ones on dead mems bones, and teach
them to pour contempt on the green
graves of their slaughtered siresl /
will not teach them to drink even the
health of the nation In their fathers

ALABAMA letter says Some ten
furnaces are now in operation in the
State, aud more in process of cOnstruc-
ton. Commencing in the northeast
ern part Of the State, there extends
south-westerly through Marshall,
BlOunt and Jefferson counties, and
probably reaching into Tuskaloosa, an
elevated range known as Red Noun
tain, which is almost one mass of iron
ore. | have heard the extent OF this
range given as high as 100 miles and
as low as 40, and the vein of iron is
stated to be thirty or forty feet thick.
1t is of the brand known as red hema-
tite, and suppose the ore yields not
less than 80 to GO per cent. of iron.
Most of this vast and valuable prop
erty, was Informed, has been bought
up by Northern capitalists, who have
extensive interests in iron manufacture
in Pennsylvania. and are holding this
with no immediate purpose Of deyel-
oping it. That sort Of Investment, /
may remark. is not what the South
needs or is seeking for.1 aa 3.495T
