CHE COMM ERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION.

In every ma rket the exchanges of the open
ing part of July, says the last issue of the New
York Public, were distinctly more favorable
than those of the closing part of June; the re-
turns indicate much improvement. Chicago
grain speculation and the workingmen's
strikes give rather exceptional cast to the
weeks transactions. The outbreak of war
in Egypt has caused powerful party of
speculators to operate for higher prices in
wheat, corn, cotton, and in certain stocks.
1t was found in the stock markets, for the
first time in several months, that the public
was actually buying with good deal of
freedom. The war is not regarded, however,
as likely to produce any serious effects on
commerce. Any interruption of the Suez
would 90 round the Cape OF Good Hope, as
they did before De Lesseps opened his canal.
Should any event occur to embarrass the re-
lations between England and any of the other
powers, the whole situation would change
in an instant, and the demand for American
securities would increase. "Silver certii-
Gates" the Public says, "are going into the
treasury rapidly, and will go faster if the
national banks are enabled to get cheap
bonds on which to base increased circula-
ton. The provision that such certificates
shall be counted in the bank reserves will
have no effect, unless the banks themselves
see fit to encourage the circulation of these
certificates, which they have not done thus
far" Apparently the movement of money,
in connection with fall speculation and the
marketing of crops, is begun in earnest
though as yet it is unnoticed, owing to the
heavy disbursements from the treasury. The
money market is now abundantly supplied.
Speculation at the West threatens to absorb
as much money as it did last year. The sur
plus revenue, under the present system OF
taxation, amounts at this season. to about
100000 week; it may therefore be ex-
pected that the banks will have to lose about
S10,000,000 to the treasury before another
call natures, Auguat LIST. OF gold eIporta-
ton there is no present prospect.

Tbe Henderson Lynching.

The Henderson (Ky.) Reporter, of Friday,
gives the following particulars of the first
lynchiug that ever occurred in that county,
brief mention of which WAS made in our
dispatches of that date. On Wednesday last
nearly hundred men went to the Jail, forcI-
bly, took possession of the keys. William
Ritter was taken from his cell and bound,
then carried mile off and hung on a sassa-
fras tree He was let down three times to
make him confess, but nothing could be got
from him. A continual stream of people
like fair poured out to the spot where he
hung until the coroner took charge of the
body The man had committed a nameless
outrage on a respectable colored girl, and
the mob was about equally black and white.
The Reporter remarks: at should be source
-of satisfaction TO the colored people 10 note
now their white friends are determined TO
protect them also from outrage and rapine.n

CROPS AND WEATHER.

The district around Memphis, extending
to North Mississippi, Arkansas and North
Alabama, reports very favorably of oats and
wheat. Two weeks ago corn was not spoken
of in the highest terms, but since then rains
have quite changed the tone OF the reports,
which are now generally favorable and often
enthusiastic. Crops Of fruits and vegetables
have been wonderful, and many places that
never shipped off barrel of apples, pota-
toes or tomatoes have gained a large supply
of dollars at time in the season when dol
lars are especially welcome; no little exulta-
lion is expressed in many of the country
papers at the good fortune of those who had
spared time from cotton to attend TO
what has paid them so literally. Reports OF
cotton, as given in our country exchanges,
are not generally of fattering nature. The
cold weather at planting time lett bad
stand; the late warm weather, however, has
put a new face on the prospect, and
farmer are greatly encouraged. The crop
is estimated to average ten days behind, and
predictions about the crop are generally
guarded with if cold weather do not come
until late in the fall" So far the opinion
appears to be that about as much cotton viii
be raised as during last season. We have
observed no complaints respecting worms,
but in some places the grass has run up very
rapidly since the rains fell, and the farmers
were busily occupied accordingly. The &C.
currence of an unusual number Of storms
this season is an element OF anxiety, anu
EVERY approach of black clouds is regarded
with some degree of apprehension, for none
can tell when the next tornado may desolate
district with its fearful ravages. Begin
ming with Sunday, 10th, Vennor's July Bua-
ictin forecasts: Muggy, hot and stormy; from
18th to 10th heated term generally, with
thunder and hail-storms in the North, very
oppressive, daily reports of damaging storms
and lightnings, very muggy period with
hot winds; 21st and 22d, showers, cloudy,
cooler at night, windy and cooler, decided
change in the weather; Sunday, 23d, fair and
warm, cool nights; oath, cooler and moist
winds, rains West and South; 25th, oppressive
and windy, storms brewing, cool nights; 26lh,
frequent rains and much cooler, windy; 9th,
continues cooler with cool to cold nights;
2sth, very cool and pleasant in most Sec
tions; 18th, warmer, with storm clouds;
Sunday, Solh, unsettled, showery, stormy;
3lst, cloudy and showery. A period of
storms and cool nights. In Northern and
middle sections much more rain in the latter
than in the former part of the month. The
18th and 18th and about the 26th and 9th
are likely to be the coolest portions OF the
month. Between the 18th and 10th general
hest and storm.

for stoppage of the canal means suspen-
sion of receipts in Europe OF East Indian
cotton and grain. Reaching Cairo by rail-
way, and destroying the road behind
him to delay pursuit, if Arabs
army prove faithful to him he has all Upper
Egypt to retreat into. From Cairo, we see
it stated in the New York Tribune, "the line
of the canal can be reached by railway at
Ismailis, and on any point between that
point and Suez" Ismailia is little nearer
to Suez than is the center of the canal. If
Arab should make the attempt, he would
probably seek to cut the canal near the Med
iterranean end, at Port Said, and near the
Red end at SHez, as troops or supplies would
thus be stopped from crossing, and the juno
ton of troops sent from India with those
from England prevented. Scuttling and
sinking a stone or sandIsden vessel here
or there would seriously interrupt communi-
cations. Leaving Port Said, the canal for
twenty-eight miles runs through shallow
lagoon, called Lake Menzaleh; here the
water would protect the canal from the APP
proach OF assailants, and as lake and canal
are at the same level, cutting would not pre-
vent free navigation At Cantara the high
way from Cairo to Syria crosses on float
ing bridge. At this point the canal is easily
accessible by hostile force, and
there very serious damage could be
done. From this point to FL Ferdane
the canal passes through high raised banks.
The next five miles TO Lake Timsah passes
through the desert and is excavated through
loose sand. This is an unsafe point and
easy of approach for the Bedouin Arabs or
others. The next eight miles is still through
desert. At Serspeum begins an expanse OF
water twenty live miles long by seven miles
broad, called the Bitter Lakes; beyond this
there are ten more miles of desert, then the
Red Sea port, Suez, is reached. The nearer
aoy two points can be cut to Suez and TO
Port Said, the more serious would be the
dam age TO the English, as there could be no
possible transferring, which there wonld he
with only one point cut or obstructed. The
greatest damage could be done by destroying,
TO a greater or lees extent, the works at
Suez and Port Said, but those the English
will be likely to have under protection
unless Arab should strike those places before
his enemy is prepared. In commercial
point of view the fate of the canal is of
great importance.
