TIE BIGGEST WKEK Or THE SEASON.
The receipts Of cotton this week have beel
unusually large. over 500 bales Wer
brought in on Wednesday, and Thursday
receipts were but little behind that figure
At least 900 bales were sold On wednesday
and our streets have been crowded sine

middling cotton 81" r - cents, the high
est figure reached since the crisis. The re
ceipts this week embrace cotton from Hen
dcrson, McNairy, IIardcman, Haywood
Crockett, Gibson and Carroll as well al
| Madison. Tho people Of these counties
! begin to realize the fact, that Jackson has
no rival as a cotton market this side OIL
| Memphis. Our receipts this week viii
aggregate 1000 bales. Business in every
branch Of trade is active, and merchants
and planters are hopeful.
SERIOUSLY WOUNDED On Tuesday,
Alexander Person, oldest son Of Il. Il. Per-
sen, Esq, while bunting near his farm six
miles east Of this City, accidentally shot
himself in the right leg. He wa, bird
hunting in company with Messrs. james
Wallack and Joe TidwelI, and while stand
ing on a stump watching h.s dog, with the
gun resting on the stump the gun slipped,
the hammer striking against the stump
and the gun going on, emptied its contents
into his leg. The shot entered his leg two
or three inches above the knee and ranged
upward. No bone or artery was injured
and the wound, while painful, is by no
means dangerous. lie was brought 10 the
residence Of his father in this city immcdi-
atCIy after the accident, and we are happy
to state is doing well. ~.
THE JACKSON COTTON MARLET.
far in this season jackson has more than
maintained her position as the second cot
ton market in Tennessee. The very high
est market price is invariably paid-and
that in money. Our market is always close
up 10 the'leading markets Of the country,
and no planter within convenient reach Of
jackson can ship his cotton to any other
market, and realize as much as he would If
sold here. Our market Is governed by New
York and Liverpool, and it frequently De-
ours that we pay as much for cotton as
Memphis or Mobile. There is seldom more
than 4 or y cents difference between the
cotton markets OF Jackson, Mobile and
Memphis, and the cotton men Of those
;ities and Of New Orleans, New York and
)ther great mrrkcts. rank Jackson among
he leading cotton market, OF the country.
Another advantage that Jackson possesses
or the planters of this section, is that here
hey sell their cotton under their own eyes;
ee 1t weighed and sampled, and derter-
nine for themselves whether to sell or not. |
This is a material matter, as all who have /
hipFed to distant markets VIII testify. |
