10 finances 10 better, and stronger, and al.
though money continues scarce the con O..
dsncc OF merchants generally 10 the d mel
outcome from the financial muddls and an
cary resumption Of currency and active
trade, grows stronger every day.
Prices on oil leading articles are we'll
sustained. Corn, oats and meal are high.
or. Flour 10 . little dull and weak but
this is believed to be only temporary.

chants are obliged to pay in New Orleans
and per cent. premium for currency,
and per cent for exchange. We hope
this state OF things viii not long continue.
A few bales Of cotton have been rscsiy.
cd and sold within day or two, here, and
u" predicted that the day is not far dis
sans wnen Caiio will claim this staple ~
