General Trade.

The weather has been propitious for
the crops, and good reports are heard
from all directions as to their condition
and promise. The yield Of corn is
certain to be heavy, while cotton is
healthy, and with dry weather the
remainder Of this and next month, a
liberal crop will be harvested. Copious
local showers have fallen during the
week all over the South. As yet
planters report that the effects have
not been injurious to cotton, but they
want no more Of it, and, as before
remarked, clear skies from this forth
will be required to keep the cotton
stalks from becoming too sappy and
shedding their squares and bolls. The
showers have been the very thing for
corn, and so far have not hurt cotton
which is iruiting we'll and is every
where vigorous, Business is very
light and quiet, though preparations
are in progress for an early activity.
Orders for the autumn traffic are
coming in freely, especially to our
Wholesale dry goods, boot and shoc
and drug dealers. They are chiefly to
be filed toward the close Of this and
early next month. The leading
features in essentials during the week
are embraced in the following: Flour
quotations have not changed during
the week and the market has ruled
dull, with a tone of depression. Re-
ceipts here for the week, 310O bbls
stocks ample. Wheat in the West
has auctuated considerably, and prices
J are 3 to 80 per bu above last week,
