OUR TRADE OUTLOOK.

We are now fairly into the cotton
season OF 1855, and, after all the
trouble we have had since the catastro-
pine OF 1873, it is natural to ask what is
the outlook? Political influences have a
strong effect upon that glance ahead We
call an "outlook," and they are favOra-
bic, in our reishOOrhood. With Missls-
sippi free from unworthy and mischiev'
Gus influences, we have made vast
stride forward. An Incubus is out of the
way. Fair dealing and progress have q
chance once more. The APPEAL has
Iabored and toiled for the deliverance Of
Mississippi, and nothing is more graft
fying to it than the assurances Of the es-
TEEN and appreciation of the citizens Of
Mississippi, except the advantages that
will accrue 10 the people Of Mis-.
sissippi by the gratifying change
Of base" We shall be pardoned
for glancingl from the trade outlook in
general to the Memphis trade lookout in
particular, with respect to the point be.
fore US. Memphis at large has sympa-
thized with Mississippi in her recent
struggle, and the APPEAL Is in the re-
ceipt Of letters and dispatches showing
that the people of Mississippi intend to
give Memphis solid tokens Of the feel
ings with which they regard a commu-
nifty whose press snd:people have stood
by them heart, soul and arm in the mo-
mentous contest that has taxed all their
energies, and the success Of which has
made their era OF deliverance. These
messages OF friendly feeling, assure the
APPEAL, and through it the people of
Memphis, shat they will show their feel
ings In practical form, by giving this
city their best wishes always, and their
business support whenever possible. To
her they will send their cotton by pref
erence; from her they will BUY by pref.
ference. The course of trade doesnot allow
OF entire liberty in these matters, but
the APPEAL has assurances, warm,
esrnest and vigorous, that whenever
Mississippi can support Memphis, she
will do it ''first, last, and all the time"
This is something to be proud Of, and
Memphis will keep her wRrmest well
come and her most cordial hospitality
for her Mississippi neighbors, freed, at
last, from the hateful thraldom that has
30 long depressed their energies and held
back their noble State in its grand career
toward prosperity and greatness. The
APPEAL will be psrdoned this expires
sion Of feeling toward Mississippi, for it
recognizes the good will and earnest
support Of the people Of that State, given
heartily and generously to Memphis, rs
one Of the best views OF her ''trade out
look" that could be supplied. Taxing
now more general survey, we find cot
ton flowing to the Memphis market
ia most gratifying abundance. The
season this year is later than that Of last
year, yet we have received IS, 500 bales
Of cotton up to this date, when last year
at the same tiUe only 1900 had come

before that only 81, 500 bales. This in
crease tells toe story, and now that Mis-
sissippi has "got out of the bush," and
every man, woman and boy are going
vigorously into the cotton-field, il will
be made greater still. That is good for
the outlook. Another encouraging
thing is that cotton has been sold freely.
We have already, this sesson, shipped
swsy 50, 500 bales, against $1,000 at the
same time last year, and 81, 500 the year
before. IT, has brought money in
hand at the very opening Of the season,
aud every dollar received is helping to
bring more cotton still; this is another
grand particular in ouraa"trade outlook"
