.MnNPHIB, TRNH., January "a leel' }
The leading feature in financial
circles is the frequent failures which
have occurred among country mer-
chants since the holiday season, due,
it is generally stated, to a free and
unrestricted credit system early In
the season, and in some instances to
s~peculations IN cotton, as well as a
strong competition in many cases
where stores were numerous and r.
valry sharp. The long season OF
stormy weather, with wintry cold, now
of full three months duration, with
less than a dozen Intervening days
suited for field labor, has prevented
the crops from being gathered and
lessened the ability of farmers and
others to settle their accounts. With
fully ~one-fourth of the cotton crop yet
in the fields, and a poor prospect to
saw it, there will be little or no sur
plus to the credit of the agricultural
community, while in many instances
planters are far ia arrears with nc
ability to diminish their accounts
The business situation iS anything bui
encouraging to the mercantile eye
tboue,S no serious effects is appre'
hended. Commission merchants ex-
press concern regarding the topping
state of interior tradesmen, but from
all accounts they we're never IN better
condition than now to stanG the pres,
sure. In the meantime tho loca.
money market gradually works toward
an easier condition capital is accu-
mulating, productive stocks and secu-
rites are in demand for investment
and prime mercantile paper is readily
discounted by the banks at the steady
rate of eight per cent.
Exchange has been in light Offering
during the past week, willie the de.
mand exhibits considerable increase
Eastern cotton bills continue to BE-
taken by the banks at | to &c dis.
count, and bills on New Orleans at Il
off. The banks sell drafts on New
York and New Orleans at par.

is lower still, viz. : four copies for $3.50,
with an extra copy gratis to the person
getting up the club, or five copies for

It was understood that clean sweep
will be made, - from School Trustees to

The above is an average sample of the
outgivings of the press with reference to
the recent meeting at Richmond, and
proves only that the outside world has
not succeeded in finding out any thing
that was done at all. 1t is simple guess
work and very wide Of the mark at that.
There was no slate made, mentioned nor
attempted. There was no parcelling of
offices attempted, nor was the debt ques-
ticn discussed. On the first page of to.
days Ne,cs will bc'found and article cop

Its assumed accuracy.
