The market during the week lis. !---u rally aleady, and to-day cxhibiit-d activity. A large imuilw of people arrived by the packets, and orders -r- .,niiM.r.ins. r'r. in the Arkansas rivar tbe crop news is excellent, and a gsKjd yield of cotton is expected. From White river favorable accounts are re ceived, while from the St. Francis and along the river below here prospects are not good. The St. Louis packet tailed to tome in until late in the afternoon, and restricted trade in the produce line. Receipts by river and rail duriug the week were: Apples, 43 bbls; Ale, 4KJ pekgs; Bagging, lo5 pes; Bran. 5Msks; Butler, 228 pkgs; Bacon, 130 casks, 07 tcs and 251 pekgs; Corn, 630 sacks; Cattle, 137 head; Meal, 15u bbls; Chickens, ti2 coops; Coffee, 590 sacks; Candles, 130 boxes ; Eggs, 32 pekgs ; Cabbages. 05 do. ; Flour, 131s bbls; Iron Ties, H30 bundles; Hay, 319 I les ; Molasses, 14M bbls; Oats, 50 sacks; Onions, 80 bbls; oils, 12s do.; Pork, 25 bbls; Potatoes, 137 do; Sugar, 42 hhds and 190 bbls; Whisky, 144 do.; Wheat, 155 sacks, and more than sooo packages of merchandise and sundries. We yesterday saw some Hour made from wheat grown on the plantation of Tnoa. H. Alien, Eso,., on the Arkansas river. The wheat was what is know n as fall wheat. It grew on the bottom lands an J yielded well, while the flour is not surpassed by any raney brand coming to this market. It was ground at Pine Bluff, and shows conrlnsi vel v that the rich ! landsof Arkansas and the Mississippi bot tom can vie with any Northern State in the production of cereals. The clothing trade of this city has, within the past year or two, assumed gi ..si.tie nrorsirtions. We have several houses which deal in clothing at whole sale, and their stocks will compare favora bly with those of any city in the West. As an evidence of ihe business doing in this line, we will state that the house of Schwab 4 Co. sold one bill to a Yazoo City merchant, w ithin the past WW iy. amounting to ?1S,(XJ. The week f nst closed has len moderate ly active in the several branches of trade, w ith a monev market close and stringent. Currency has lieen in sufficient supply to meet the demand, and the fourth, which is always the tightest day of onr commer cial year, passed over without difficulty. Banks extended relief at the usual rate of IS per cent to their patrons, and in some cases favored outside parties at the same rate, though street shavers charged as high as S!2, eras much more as they could get. News from the corn and cotton crops is less encouraging. We hear that along the i er as low as the mouth of the Arkan sas, drouth, blight and rust have done BTeat damage. The young cotton bolls are shedding rapidly, leaving nothing but the under or bottom crop. Several planters say their prospects are fully one-third short of anticipations made three weeks ago. Even this nsws, however, will not prevent the crop from turning out as much as the total picking capacity of the availa ble labor, and less than 2,500,000 bales is not thought of. The arrivals of the new crop yesterday were 40 bales, and about loo in all since the opening of the season. Hy the end of this week our re. eipts will ie large, for dry weather is causing bolls to open rapidly. Hands are actively at work picking, the present high prices causing it to be sent forward as rapidly as baled. With a fair season from this on we may expect to receive 3OO,O0)thia year. Reports from Liverpool indicate the de mand largely exceeding the suppiv , while stocks in this country are below 10.000 bales, causing an active imiuiry by Aruer- an spinners. The new crop w ill be ta ken up as fast as it arrives, for home con sumption, and the other side need not ex pect large reipts before the end of No vember. The river has risen a foot during the week, caused by heavy rains along the upper Mississippi and Missouri. We need a few showers here very much. The Arkansas and White are down below three feet, while the Cumberland is lower than it has been for a century, with only eight inches on Harpeth shoals. The corn crop has been much damaged by dry weather, ard the yield will be cut ff fully one-half in all the country east f us. News from the tobacco region of Nash ville, Tenn., West Kentucky and Virginia, discouraging, particularly trginia. where it is reported the drouth has cut the 1 rop down to less than half the average jrttM. From Missouri accounts are more favorable. The uncertainty of the corn crop in the Western States, together with the exhib ited scarcity of hogs, dissipates expecta tions of any material decline in meats, and present quotations are likely to be sustained, with probabilities of even liigher figures. Breadstutts are ruling low, and have evinced a decliug tendency during tlm fMk. Pecent advices from Europe tend to the conclusion that there will be light lemand for foreign shipment, ami the large surplus of this country will reduce prices, even below present rales, which now range nearly as low as before the war. The Board of Tohaco Trade, recently established, has offered 100 premium for the best hhd of manufacturing leaf, and 100 for the best hhd of shipping leaf to bacco to be exhibited by planters through some member of oiirTobacco Association. 'ther premiums hav e also been offered, and every encouragement is being ex tended to the tobacco planters of the west ern district to revive the tobacco market of our city. Immense quantities of bones are now ships?d from this place. A huge heap to be converted into phosplnues for ma nures, and iuto buttons and knife han dles, is piled up for shipment at the Mem phis and Ohio dep. t. We may ask why not have these bones crushed here, as they at'8 needed on every hilLside in West Ten nessee. The elections m Mississippi and Texas, postponed, as we are advised, in order that the colored voters may be thorctifatir l v organized, will cause great losses. The absence of laborers from the fields in the midst of the cotton picking season will be felt in the increased price of cotton, and mill owners as well as planters must suffer. Corn and Wheat. It is perhaps un fortunate for both sections of this coun try that the former habits of commercial Intercourse between the West and South have not been wholly re-established. If the West can raise corn and wheat at a less cost than the South, and the South can find a profitable market for its pecu- liar products, surel v it would be best for both to adhere to their special produc tions in agriculture, as it is wisest for each individual to confine himself to a single pursuit. But the revival of our trade ilb the Northwest proceeds slowly, and our farmers, for the present, are wisely producing those supplies for which, in former years, they exchanged cotton or its proceeds. Whenever the Northwest may produce an excessive crop, and its value is so reduced that It will not bear the cost ot transportation to New York, 1 ... 1. we may expect a lessening of the quantity of cereals grown in the South as .II as the diversiou ot the grain crop Iroui the railways to the river route to the sea. Then barges may accomplish the mighty task which financial writers would assign them. Ale and Porter Win. 4 Robt.
