For the week ending July 23d,
1880. as per telegram:
General Trade.

Our jobbing trade continues brisk
in all lines, and in the produce and
provision line unusually so for the
season. Many dealers report a heavier
volume of trade than they ever before
enjoyed in at this midsummer sea
son. Evidence of the prevailing ac-
tivity is given in the past weeks re-
Oeipts, all, or nearly all of which has
been disposed Of, leaving stocks con-
siderably depleted. For the week
closing to-day, we have received 5000
bbls flour, 5000 bbls meal, 22OO SKIS
corn, 700 SKIS oats, 600 SKIS bran and
other articles in proportion. The
agricultural situation exceedingly
encouraging and the prospects
favor an early autumn trade
Of heavy volume, as the cotton pick
ing season is expected TO set in two
weeks earlier than last year. Our
markets show some variation of values
to-day. Meats are quoted scarce and
higher. Flour is unchanged, no new
wheat -four having arrived dealers are
shy and only buy in moderate q%uantis
ties. Corn is scarce and firm, oats
the same. Hay is very scarce, and a
few car loads of new would meet a
ready market at full prices. Low
grades and old stock generally is fiat

THE PRESIDENCY.
Mr.. Charles E. Wright, editor OF the Vicks-
burg missy Herald, a democratic paper that is
distinguished for its Independent treatment of
political subjects, is In the city. In converse
ton With STAR reporter he expressed the be-
lief that neither of the three gentlemen now
being ballotted for by the Mississippi legisla-
ture for Z. s. Senator will be elected. Said he:
s.If the popular voice could elect Senator Gen.
Walthall would be chosen by both white and
black citizens. He is very popular, and promi-
nent colored citizens are In Jackson working for
his election with all their might"
Stay:-''Will not this popularity influence the
members OF the Legislature to elect him finally"
Mr. Wright.-"1 am afraid it will not. The
contest is engendering good deal of bitter
ness In the event OF the retirement of MeSSrs.
Walthall, Barksdale and Singleton, Mr.. Wright
thinks Chief Justice George, OF the state supreme
court will be elected, and this opinion is enter
tanned by the members of Congress from Missis-
sIpp Mr.. Wright says Senator Bayard is the
choice of the Mississippi democrats for Presi
dent. He does not believe Tilden could carry
the state. Said he: '''There is a strong and
growing opposition to democracy in the state,
and the nomination of Tilden would give dissat-
isfied democrats pretext for withdrawing from
the party. Tilden would lose the state.'
