The receipts of cotton at St. Louis, by river
and rail, up to the sth inst.. amounted to 1s98
: bales, against 4c62 bales for the same period last
year.
The steamship Ben Lomond cleared yester
day for Liverpool, from this port, with 42,125
bushels of corn in bulk, and the steamship
. Wycliffe, for the same destination, with 40,91,5
bushels of corn.
Yesterday by the Jackson Railroad, as one of
the old regime continues to call it, there were
brought to this city 2316 bales of cotton, which
fact shows a gratifying increase of receipts of
the staple from the interior.
On Saturday. the loth of November. there were
in the port of New Orleans 10o2 square-rigged
vessels, of which 17 were steamshius-5 Ameri
can, a British, 3 Spanish, 2 Mexican and 2 Ger
man. There are 117 vessels advertised as being
up or cleared from foreign and domestic ports
for New Orleans.
Being an unusual incident In the line of
transportation, and on account of the point of
shipment and other circumstances connected
therewith, we announce that the towboat John
Means, with three barges, arrived hero yester
day from Paducah, with a cargo aggregating as
follows: 40,000 bushels bulk corn, 4875 barrels
flour, 1547 sacks corn and 5054 sacks of oats.
Cork is coming into use in Germany as a till
in for winter bed coverlits. in placeDof feathers.
It s said to be not only lighter and cheaper, but
decidedly warmer.
The estimated expenscs of the city of New
York for the year 157s, as pawset upon by the
Board of Apportionment, amount to $27.582.s35,
hich is sit1.8s less than for the present year.
Controller Kelly is of opinion that the rate of
tax will not exceed 2.55 par cent. which is also a
slight reduction from the rate of last year.
The Crops of the Country.
If we had space we wo d like to give a com
prehensive abstract of te special reports of
the United States I)epartment of Agriculture
upon the condition of the several States, which
present a most interesting exhibit of the farm
ing status of this country. According to these,
there are in the Union no less than :1,60:.844
square miles, containing 1,02.00t.e,()0 acres, of
which about one-tenth is in cultivation.
The statisthan reports to the bureau at Wash
ington that the average of wheat, throughout
the Union, as closely as can be calculated. is
twelve bushels to the acre. bur that in 1876 It had
so declined that the total was only 289.356 -
see bushels, as against 202.1:I3,000 in 1875. H.
adds. however.that New York Ohfo. Indian aa:d
Texas are showing every evidence of luncre ,so.
In corn, according to the same authority, the
crop is nearly equal to the average. It is esti
mated at twenty-six bushels, the range of flue
tuation being from twenty to thirty bushels. In
oats the condition is represented by the pro
portion of ninety-eight against eighty-six of
last year. and only eight States-Maine, Ver
mont, North Carolina, South Carolina. Alabama.
Tennessee-exhibit any marked diminution.
Barley and rye have been more favorably aided
by the season, and the increase in the area of
cotton production is ab ut four per cent. In
this staple the Carolinas decline, but Alabama,
Tennessee. Mississippi. Arkansas. Louisiana,
and Texas, indicate a growth ranging from one
to fifteen per cent. The crop of potatoes, hay
and clover seems alsoto be advanI ng, and it is
specially noted that in Io Kalb county. Mis
souri, the millet and Hungarian grass grown
for winter feed, are doing admirably. In pas
ture land the drouth has reduced the condition
. from one to fourteen per cent In Maine, and in
Californialt has brought down the average to
sixty-five; in the valleys of the Ohio, the Missis
slppi and the Missouri It is, however, reported
that the average is high.
In tobacco the latestL rturns are encouraglng.
and in stock hogs the September reports intl
cate an increame of one per cent, with a slight
falling off In the Middle States and the States
north of the Ohio counterbalanced by the other
sections. As to the foreign mark, ts. we are
told that the amount now required in Great
Britain is about double the deficiency of
twenty years ago, and that. to supple
ment it, for the fifteen years ending in 1872
the United States sent twenty-seven per
cent. Russia twenty-four, Germany seventeen.
France nine and British America five. In tmhe
four years ending in 1876 the proportion of the
United States advanced to forty-five. and that of
Russia declined to sixteen per cent. We are
also informed, officially. that the English wheat
crop of the present year has greatly disappoin'
ed the expectations of producers, and that of
France is twenty per cent below the average.
In Austro Hungary it is good.
A Review of the Cotton Trade.
The London Tims in its city article of the
1st inst., reviewed in a condensed form the an
nual circu'ar of Me.srs. E lison & Co., of Liver
nool, for the past year, which cannot fail to be
o special interest to the cotton trade uf this
country. It shows the waning influence of
Great Britain in the manufacture of cotton
goods for ex port. and the rapid increase in this
oountrv, which can unquestionably be increased
a hundred fold within a few years if proper
efforts were undertaken.
It is full of evidence that the trade has been
dull and dragging, and the tmmedla.e prospect
is far from bright. I)During the first three or
four months of last season there werte some
signs of reviving activity, but these were all
swept away by the outburst of the war in the
East. Production has therefore kept through
out ahead of consumption, and the result has
been that after enduring mu h loss, through
selling at unremunera ive prices, manufa'
turers were forced to work on short time during
the third quarter of this year. Latterly,
through the reduction of stocks which this has
induced, and b'causte of the strike at Bolton.
the trade has been placed on a little better foot
ing, and full time has. in many instances. beoon
resumed; but business is still far from satisfac
tory. The report furnishes abundant evidence
that the state of the trade is the same almost
everywhere. Messr,. Ellison & Co. have, sent
queries to all the seats of cotton trade in Eu
rope, and, almost without ex,,eption. the replies
may be summed up in one word--unsatitNic
tory. Singular to say. RIussia appears to offer
an exception, the trade having been good there,
especially for yarns. but also for co'ton goods
home producers having been assisted by the fall
in exchange, which hlas prevented importation,
as well as by the enormous duties. lThe trade
of Norway and Sweden appears also to have
been fair. The political conflict in France has
had a most injurious effect both on the French
trade and on that of its near neighbors. Perhaps.
however, the worst reports of all come from
the various manufacturing centers of (Gr
many, where the trade has been almost uni
formly bad throughout the year, and where the
Drospects are most discouraging. Production
will have to be reduced in I'russia, Saxony
and Alsace. unless there should come a
favorable change, of which there is at present
no sign. Several countries have slightly in
creased the number of spindles during the
sason, but the increase has been insignitleunt
and almost counterbalanced by suspensions.
destruction through fire and lessoning in the
out-turn. The entire continenttposscuess la,
,1ooo000 spindles, against 59o,.500,()O in the United
Kingdom, butt the consuming power of the (Ton
tinental snindlles is greater than our own. They
take 53 It. per spindle, while our rate appears
to be only 3: lh. The United States have lO.000,

reaching v:i It, per spindle. In consequonec
of this the annual consumption of the United
States reach- s O;:o.0,.000 it, and that of the con
tinent 1,033,500,(.0 tb, against 1,303,500.000 lb Ii r
Great Britain. The aetual osinning power of
the entire world is thus higher than our own,
although we have a greater number of spindles.
npeaking of fill re prosects, Messrs.
Ellison & Co. estimate the yield of the Amer
ican crop at about 4,5000.(t0 bales, of which the
United States themselves will take 1,500 000
ba!es, leaving 3,:l0.0,000 hales for export. The
estimated supply from India is 1.4312,000 bales, a
slight increase on lhiast year. and other smaller
sources of stupply may be expected to sond
about the same quantity as last year, or a.little
more. Taking the entire sources of supply, it
is estimated that Europe nmay receive 5.200.(00
bales of an average weight of 411 ,. or 2.176.
0oOe t It. of cotton, and as the -full require
ments of the trade, working only up to the
present dull level of productive capacity, are
estimated at 2 253.000 .000 t, it follows that the
coming season would show a deficiency of
some 77,000,ooo lt. In the ordinary course,
and were this estimate to prove accurate, it
would lead to some increase in prices, but
with the trade as it is. no such rise is
to be looked for. As Messrs. Ellison justly
remark. the strong statistical position of the
raw material is weakened by the knowledge
that stocks of goods are large, that the position
of producers is very unsatisfactory, that general
trade shows no signs of revival and by the fear
of new political complicitioni. With so much
against it the cotton trade of E Tropi is likely to
dragon for some time as it has done. So far as
canbe seen, nothing short of a speedy peace is
likely to give it more than spasmodic activity.
All that a short supply of raw cotton can be ex
pected to do. therefore, is to prevent an aecu
mula ion of stocks to a ruinous extent. C in
suamption and production may be brought
nearer to each other by the end of another sea
son but with so much against the tr.,de more
eanardlybe looked for, unless Europe becomes
Jettled. when. of course, the whole position may

Review of the Events of the Week.
In financial circles the week was characterized
by dullness in nearly all the Wall street mar
kets. The monetary situation was marked by
an easier feeling and sligh.ly lower rates for
call loans. The rates ranged from 5 to 7 "' cent.
The foreign exchanges were quiet and weak.
Goldt speculation was quiet, and presented no
special feature. Government bonds were flrm at
the opening, but subsequently became weak
and declined 1 to '5 - cent.
There was a partial recovery at the close. The
railway and miseellanoous speculation was ex
tremely dull early in the week. but subsequent
ly became more active, and the dealings were
marked by c'onsidernble depression. The en
tire list declined ,.r', - cent, the downward
movement having been most prominent in
Western railroad shares, the coal stocks. Erie,
Lake Shore and Western Union. The market
continued weak and feverish to the clo~s,' al
thoulgh there was a recovery of Y't1'1z 1z cent
from the lowest price.

Saturday Evening. Nov. II. 187;.
GENERAL REMARKS-Saturday was a raw,
cold and cloudy day, and general business was
dull. Cotton continued to attract considerable
attention, and the market, though somewhat
irregular, inclined to increased strength, the
advices from New York and Liverpool being
favorable.
At the Sugar Sheds there was a good demand.
and receipts sold readily. The arrivals of sugar
and molasses, notwithstanding the well known
drawbacks, are beginning to improve rapidly.
Thera was but littlJ business yesterda
o(
Western Produce. Floor ruled doull but firm,
and provisions were inactive, exdept in dry salt
meats, which were lively.
COTTON-The strong features of the market
yesterday culminated to-day in an advance of
ec on all grades. Advices yfrom both New York
and Liverpool were favorable, and the demand
was thereby stimulated, and the day closed
with sales recorded to the amount of o10,s,
hales at steady, strong and advancing prices.
The fluctuations in futures at New York
show an advance of 18 to 18 points.
We find in the New York Financial
Chronicle an estimate of the total visi
ble supply of cotton, made up to November
2. showing 1,478,621 bales on that day, against
2,085,725 bales in 1576. 2.039.949 in 1875 and 2,013,9'20
in 1874, Middling Uplands being quoted at Liv
erpool on the day named at 6'd and O 3-16d in
1875 and 6 15-16d in 1874. These ilgures, says the
OIcronicle, indicate a decrease in the Cotton in
sight on the day named of 607.107 hales as com
pared with the same date of 1876, a decrease of
561.328 bales as compared with the correspond
ing date of 1875, and a decrease of 565,299 bales
as compared with 1974.

has been a good movement, especially during
the early part of the week. Corn has been
taken with considerable freedom, and prices
have generally been rather higher. Oats have
also improved, and under a good demand, pro
visions, though in sma'l supply, have been al
most a drug in the market, no one caring to
deal extensively either in pork or lard.

over and through all the bad places in the river.
She handles and obeys her rudder so well that
