Yesterday a well dressed man-but
this is not a fashionable article. what's
the use in describing a mans dress?
Any way, the nan entered a store and
taking a brass button from his pocket,
he handed it to a bystander and re-
marked:

after the relicman had carefully taken
down the address Of the capitalist he
went out. About five minutes after

As the summer advances the de-
mand for money increases, though in
far less volume than in former sea-
sons, agriculturists being in much
better financial condition in this sec.

rency is in ample supply for all

General Trade.

The trade in merchandise, proyi-
sions, bagging, ties and breadstuffs is
active in iobbing circles, and daily ex.
hibits a healthy increase. In grain
and feed generally but little ANNA
ton prevails, the season now being at
its dullest, crops having been laid by
and southern grown corn being hard
enough to use. The local demand is
also light. The tone of prices for
meats is rather stiff, while for other
leading articles Of prime consumption
there is little variation. The freight
rates from upper country markets
southwark have recently been ad.
vanced owing to low water and dan
gers of navigation, but as yet no per-
ceptible influence has been exercised
on values by the change.

The market rules very quiet, and
without features Of interest, sales
yesterday being unimportaut. The
news OF the condition Of the growing
crop and its progress toward maturity,
is the absorbing topic in mercantile
circles at present. Indications point
to a less favorable report in the forth
coming statements of the several cot
ton exchanges for the month of July.
Worms have appeared in various To-
c%alities, but the extent Of their raw
ages is yet a matter of uncertainty.
None have been heard Of in any part
Of the Memphis district. Too much
wet and cold has, however, had iuju-
.rlous effect, and rust, boil shedding
aud other damages are expected to
figure to a considerable degree in the
the July statement in this section.
Picking will commence for some por
lions ofthis district next week, and a
new bale is expected about the mid
die Of the month. The estimates of
the yield for the present season, de-
spite the injuries above alluded TO, is
not below an aggregate of 6,OO0,-
900 bales among the knowing ones.
