New louisiana Corn.
Nine ears of Louisiana new corn were
placed on Change this morning as sample of
the production of this State. They are pro-
nounced by those in the trade as much larger
ears than the Western, larger cob and much
more grain and corn to the cob than the
Western, classed prime white, full and very
long grain. and about equal to new New
Madrid or st. Charles county, though some
grains may not be quite so plump and finty
as New Madrid. It came from Natchitoches,
from Col. VIM. M. Levy's plantation. Let
ters accompanying the corn, one to Capt.
;Sinnott, of the steamer Texas, and one to Mr..
w. G. Raymond, President of the Merchants
Exchange, say
"This is fair sample Of large portion
of my corn crop, on Smith Place When
you consider that the season has been
rather an unfavorable one, as drouth pre-
vailed during the months of May, June and
part of July, this may be regarded as a refuta-
lHon of the statement that the soil and climate
of Louisiana are unsuited to the production
of corn. VIM N. LEVY"
Capt. Sinnott, of the steamer Texas, says:
% I think this sample will compare favorably
with any Of the Wes.tra lipments by which
this market is supplied. At least, it is fair
evidence of the productiveness of Louisiana
soil, and of our independence of other Sec
tions in the supply of this cereal, could our
planters be induced to enter more largely
into its production"
The Western Tobacco Market.
18th inst. report an advance Of 1c. The
Eourier-Jonnal of the same date represents
the offerings moderate and the market active
and firm, "the opinion being held that small
tugs and leaf Of different grades were so to rs
per 100 higher than last week. Receipts
light Previous reports, soon after the re-
turn of good weather, intimated that the
damage to the crop had been q good deal ex-
aggerated, and prices gave way accordingly,
but the impression now seems to be that it
will prove fully as great as estimated by con-
servative authori les and, that the better quail
titles in particular, will rule higher"
The Failure OF The Coal Trade.
The Philadelphia Ledger of Monday says:
The trade is stimulated by the steady ad-
vance in the cost of coal. It has become
known that the monthly advance in prices,
as agreed upon by the great carrying com
panies at the beginning of the year, will be
strictly adhered to, hence those who want to
lay in their coal at lowest prices do it at the
earliest possible time in the year. The prices
for the present August are lower than they
will be in September, and lower in that month
than they will be in October. The last cir
s,ular issued by the Reading Railroad Com
pany is, that from and after the 9th instant,
the allowance on lump and steamer coal for
shipment FROM Port Richmond, is reduced to
ten per cent, and the allowance on the same
sizes of coal by way Of the canal to New York
and vicinity, is reduced to fifteen per cent.
"A revival of the iron interests and of manu-
features generally is needed to make the coal
trade fairly prosperous, which just at present
is not as promising as could be desired.
