ps| The Columbia Board Of Trade
has passed resolutions expressive OF
unimpaircd confidence in the stability
of the city banks, and also the follow
ing, cmbodying their opinion as to
the temporary character Of the pres
ent financial crisis:
Rrsolvrd, That in the opinion of this
Board this universal crisis should not
excite any undue apprehension at the
South, occurring, as it has, with all OF
our cotton crop in the hands of our
farmers In few weeks this cotton
must bring a very large amount of
gold or currency to the South, and
this will necessarily remove the pres
cnt stringcncy ofthc money market.
WHITE RRoruERs.-Mr. Il. ". White
of this we'll known firm, has just laid
in large and superior Fall and WIN
ter stock, which they arc now offer
ing to the farmer in exchange for his
cotton. The goods have been bought
low, and will be sold at low rates,
whilst tho highest rates will be paid
| by them for cotton in exchange.
Hero is an induccmcut to our farmers
TO bring on thoir cotton and purchase
their supplies. They offer varied
assortment of choice goods, 10 which
they invite attention. Give them an
early call.
