NEW ORLEANS, Jan. !, 1875.
Inc hour trade OF the past thirty days pre-
SCENTS no new feature compared with that 4
the previous month. unless it be this, that
prices have gradually settled to still lower
basis. We can fairly estimate the decline at
81 cents per Dbl on all grades.
we entered the month with stock OF
6o,l4O bbls. The receipts since then reach
6695l bbls. making the total supply for the
month 135,O91 bills The stock on hand to-
day is H. bbls, which, deducted from the
total supply. shows q consumption OF g. 66l
bbls.
Comparing these figures with those of last
month we find an increase in stock Of 1000
bbls; also in consumption, 84S1 bbls, but
reduction of II, 9O5 bbls 10 receipts Com
pared with the figures Of the same time last
year we find an increase in CONSUMPTION of
SHY bols and in receipts 1861 bbls, but
7775 bbls less in stock.
In taking leave of the old year with its
various fortunes and misfortunes, its losses
and profits, as they may have visited US, We
would beg leave to greet our friends with the
hearty Wish OF happy and prosperous New
Year.
When We view the position our civ occu-
pies In the commerce of the world and see its
advantages, north of US vast country tribu-
tary to this market with its endless and
steadily increasing productions, the urques-
tlonable low prices and excellent quality Of
the greatest staples Of daily consumption in
our market over all other seaport markets Of
this country, and south of us an outlet
through which the worlds markets are Access
sible from here for those productions when
we see that the work of deepening the outlet
of our great river is being pushed forward
with energy and perseverance; when we OBJ
serve the general urging and striving for rail-
roads and quick transportation facilities, we
cannot help but believe that our wish for
prosperous and consequent happy season may
be realized. In fact, we are sure it will be
realized in that proportion in which we apply
our energy and means.
Advantageous local positions, in years gone
By, controlled the trade of certain points by
reason of short distance from one port to an
other Steam has now superseded this ad-
vantage so that markets tar distant have
taken from us that business which we thought
nature had designed for US forever. This we
calculate to regain by new steam transporta-
ton lines by land and sea. Other points of
trade we have lost through natural causes !;
these we must replace by stretching our arms
further south where population Of millions
require nearly their total immediate neces-
sites of life by importation.
1t is true we are obliged to compete with
the markets of the world for this business,
but we must be up to the work OF penetrating
that country; we must introduce our goods,
which in price and quality can be exceled in
no other market.
If we do this, with quick transportation
equal to that of the competing ports, then
our natural position will hold for us lucra-
tive business, which ere many months will e :
lven our streets, busy our merchants aud
bring the prosperity and happiness which we
wish yourselves and US for the ensuing year.
The movement in corn meal has been
moderate.
