Tees prophecies.
Miscellaneous.
The general condition Of our trade
circles was not changed to-day, al
though agrsdual increase in business Is
progressing.
Hardware is moving quite briskly
In some lines, and the provision mer-
chants seem to DO the recipients Of 9
fair amount of orlers. In dry goods,
q light trade is the result Of the season,
and q small amount Of new goods on
hand, though repeated inquiry at the
counter leads to the belief that 90 soon
as the new styles of dress goods arrive,
q fair demand will spring up. In bank.
Ing circles, the business to-day was
again classed as quiet, and the hours
passed without any special matters Of
importance developing themselves.
Scrips continue distressingly quiet,
and little doing in any direction.
We clip the following from the st.
Louis Republican: Messrs. Miles
Sells & Co. furnish the Republican
with the following extract from q late
letter from y OF their Mississippi cor
respondents AIN regard to the crops
on the river, l consider the cotton
south Of the Arkansas, on both sides Of
the Mississippi, IS good, but above as
not good, and will not make more than
tWo-thirds Of last years crop. There
has been altogether too much rain the
plant is very large but not well fruited.
The crop on Honey leland and in the
Yazoo valley is also very 6ne, and the
corn crop is most promising. | believe
I shall make enough 10 do me IN every
place I have, and In some instances
more than l AN use. Worms have
made their appearance on most places
as high as Greenville, but they are late
and do not think they will do much
harm. They are, however, reported as
eating up the crop In Texas and Ala
bama." kilograms from New York to-
day reported the stock Of lard on hand
at 3ly940 ~tierces, with 5000 lierces in
transit by lake and rail.
Tho weather was pleasant to-day at
50 degrees register Of the lheImome-
Ter. The river II falling at all is doing
so very slowly, Rail rates to interior
Southern points are said TO have been
changed, but these roads are 60 exclu-
sively controlled that information con-
corning their rates are not readily as
certainable. Of course the competition
between the great Eastern railroad In
terests affords instant information OF
Tchanges, but not 60 South to whose
points lines Of road are limited, aud
can charge what they please, although
It may be said that they have not yet
been altogether illiberal. Markets are
still tending down. 1t might be sup
posed that they had reached the center
Of gravity, but no one can tell. Certain
Il 10 that there is not at present any
pause in the descent Of values, yet they
are not as easy downward IS the
we're, which would seem to indi-
cate that bottom was in sight. Oats
were sustained aud in good demand 81
Of late, but prices are steady because d
as low u stratum 90 they may descend
to. But other markets were on the
down grade Of prices "and you cam
stop it."-[SL Louis Republican.
