AUSTIN, June p.

AUSTIN, June 25.
Since our last weekly report there has been lit
tie in thu commercial situation to justify remark or
awaken interest As a rule the wholesale trade
though between seasons has been satisfactory, and
dealers considering the season, have little of which
to complain, and there is one thing at least on
which they can congratulate themselves. That is,
the improvement on last years business at this
period of the midsummer In groceries there has
been fair demand, and in dry goods a moderate
business has been done.
Country produce has been generally unchanged.
Eggs are a trile lower. Batter is unchanged,
Grain a. feed are dull.

BERNARD for our upper deck state room Is
French, exclusively, from the crown of his
head to the sOles Of his feet.
Several times day or as frequently as a
reason for conversation with him arises. q YER
bal snRrl is developed, defying uptanglement
These conferences end in the exhaustion of
our Wallets stock of deprecatory shrugs and
assurances oft repeated that he does not under
stand and In u rush on his part for some officer
who knows the two languages and will serve as
interpreter. The fact that We do not compre-
bend the young mans discourse we ascribe
hrst, to the differences in pronunciation be-
tween Partisan and Canadian Frenchf and Sec
ond, to then similarity in point Of rapidity of
utterance. 1t Is perfectly clear to US that the
language boasts a number of distinct yarie-
ties, for as / have stated, our valet also failed
to understand Us though We tried on him the
most approved brands Of American, r-roIIing
French. We had many chances to acc aaint
ourselves with the language as it is spcAen III
Canada. After the obvious opportun ties of
the day, We could listen to the conversation of
u mirthfuI and enthusiastic gathering Of both
sexes and varying ages at q round game Of
cards in the cabin Ct night And still la er we
could hear The lively songs of party of French
students from Laval University on the
upper deck near our state room. The men
play cards at night in the dining room
as well as in the cabin. The notable figure of
the dining-room gathering is a French priest
from back county parish, who boldly and in
the lace OF the world plays poker for small
silver coins, and does not hesitate when yexed
at turn in the play to give vent to vigorous
expletyes, which mean nothing irreverent in
French, but which will not bear translation
into English. Our poker-playing priest carries
Us back N imagination to tire time OF the card
playing chaplain, Sampson, Of Thackeray's

The Miramichi is perpetual marvel in the
quantity Of freight which she can store away
IN her depths and distribute in the course Of

HELLKR's IsExHAUsrIsLH HAT,
She will cover wharf after wharf and boat after
boat with piles Of boxes,and barrels apparently
larger than herself, and seem ready to keen mn
the performance indefinitely. The feat is per.
formed with an unmusical accompaniment on
chain-creaking, the tramping OF heavy shoes
and the quick, excited interchange of French
ordinations. In the middle of the frat NIGHT
Of the trip the steamer went through This
process in the channel Of the river, boats com
ing out to her from the shore and receiving the
freight intended for the villagek The noise OF
the performance was 80 harsh and startling. abd
such agonies Of apprehension were detected in
the sputtered French ordinations accom-
papying 1t, that one OF the ladies OF OUT party
