A Terrible River Disaster.
We are called upon this morning to again
chronicle another one of those terrible disasters
of steamboat explosions, which have so frequent
ly, ot late, occurred to steamers plying the Mis-
—jwsippi, and which, if something is not done to
cheek them, will soon win for our great river,
t lie justly earned appellation of the “.Stream of
Death.” More boats have blown up on the Mis
sissippi during the past eight months, than in all
other rivers put together in the United States.—
Yes, fully twice the number.
This last was the City of Memphis, a boat be
longing to the Mississippi and Atlantic Steam
ship Company's line from St. Louis to New Or
leans. She was bound up from the latter port,
with a list of twenty-eight cabin, and about sixtj'-
live deck passengers, besides her regular quota
of ofllcers and crew, which made the number of
lives aboard about one hundred and twenty-five.
She was commanded by Captain \V. T. Thomp-
• son, of St. Louis. The disaster took place yes
terday morning, at twenty-five minutes past seven
o’clock, when the boat was nearing Buck Island,
thirty-six miles below this city, and in sight of
Commerce, Mississippi.
The City of Alcmphis had six’ boilers, only one
of which exploded, however—but with such ter
rific force as to hurl all the forward part of the
cabins, the texas and pilot house into the river,
and shattering the alter cabins almost into splin
ters. Many, above and below, were swept into
eternity', and two-thirds of all on the lower deck
were blown into the water, scalded and killed.—
The two pilots, and the steersman, who were in
the pilot house at the time, were killed and
blown into the river. The pilots were named
Frank Perdue and George Briton; the steersman
named George Hanger.
Immediately after the explosion, the wreck
took fire, producing one of the most terrible
scenes possible to take place. There was a num
ber of kegs ol powder in the hold, which Cap-
lain Thompson, who himself had barely escaped
death, had the presence of mind to have taken
up and thrown overboard, thereby preventing
further destruction ol life. The flames soon drove
the few survivors into the river, each one impro
vising out ot anything which would buoy up, a
sort of life preserver.
There were hut two female passengers in the
cabin, Mrs. Donne, an actress, belonging to Dea-
gle’s Varieties Theatre, St. Louis, and Mrs M.
Shelton, of .lellerson, Texas. Mrs. Donne had
not been injured by the explosion, and was furn
ished a life-preserver from one ot the state-rooms,
but from improper arrangement of it around her
person, tiller getting into the water her head was
thrown under, and the ill fated lady was drown
ed in a short time. Her body was brought to the
city last evening on the St. Patrick, and will he
forwarded to her friends in St. Louis for inter
ment Mrs. Shelton was badly, though we hope
not fatally, scalded. She also came up on the St.
Patrick, and is now at the Worsham House,
where everything that lies in human power is
being done for her.
We subjoin the list ot lost , scalded and wound
ed, as fully as we have been able to gather it:
LOST.
Passengers.—Mr. Smith, Evansville, Ind.; Mrs.
Donue, St. Louis.
Officers.—Pilots Frank Perdue and George
Britton; George Hanger, steersman; Harrison
Fox, 1st engineer ; Ed. Hambleton, 2d Stewart;
James Robinson, cabin boy.
SCALDED AND WOUNDED.
Passengers.—Mrs. M. J. Shelton, badly, .Tetter-
son, Texas; Mr. Wakefield, slightly.
Ojfici rs.—Nick Burns, 2d engineer, ankle broke;
Sam Harris, 2d mate, leg broken.
Creio.—John Tigho, John Murry, Wm. Camp
bell, lmdly scalded.
The number of deck passengers who were lost
and scalded, whose names are never registered
on boats, and consequently cannot be ascertain
ed in this case, will amount to forty-five or more.
The total number of lives lost by this dreadful
occurrence, as we were informed by Captain
Thompson, also on the St. Patriak, cannot he less
than sixty, and perhaps is greater.
THE DESTROYED BOAT.
As we have mentioned above, the Citv of
Memphis belonged to the Atlantic and Missis
sippi Steamship Company, and was valued at
about $40,008. She was about fourteen years
old—her boilers, perhaps, were twenty years old.
The facts in this preceding sentence, m all prob
ability, will explain the cause of the explosion
without putting the scientific to the trouble of
learned speculation in regard to the formation of
gases in the boilers. We understand that the
officers themselves, on this same fatal trip, spoke
of the unsafe condition of the boat—that the
smiths were repairing defects in the boilers and
machinery all the way up. She was due at this
jiort night before last. Her freight list was com
prised cliifly of railroad iron for St Louis, and
of which there were about eight thousand tons.
THE STEAMER ST. PATRICK.
The St Patrick, Captain Jim Lee, bound trorn
Vicksburg to this port, met up with the first
bodies from the ill-fated boat, about ten o’clock
yesterday morning. They were then fifteen
miles below the wreck of the Memphis. The St.
Patrick picked up four of the killed, which she
brought to the city. She also brought forty of
the scalded and wounded, all of whom, with the
exception of one or two, were deck passengers,
and twenty-three of these were immediately
taken to the City Hospital and provided for.—
The efforts of Captain Lee, Captain Ed. Hart,
and all the officers of the St. Patrick, to render
assistance to the survivors, and to collect the
bodies of the dead, were uutiring. These noble-
hearted gentlemen deserve the highest commen
dations tor their conduct, and we publish, with
pleasure, in this column, this morning, a card,
which the passengers of the St. Patrick have
gotten up, unasked, in regard to their endeavors
to give assistance. To Dr. Cary B. Blackburn,
ofTLaconia, Arkansas, who was one of the St
Patrick passengers, the thanks ot ali are given
for the aid he ‘rendered the suffering. Many a
life has been saved through his untiring attend
ance, on its wav to this city.
On the arrival of the St. Patrick, the proprie
tors of the Worsham House dispatched to the
officers of the boat the following note:
Worsham Hocse, May 31.
Captain* Lee and Hurt: We understand that
vou have a number of the distresssed and wound
ed from the City ol Memphis on l>oard the St.
Patrick. Send up to the Worshatn two carriage
loads of them and we will cheerfully do the best
we can for them. J. J. WoRsn.AM <fc Co.
True kindness is spoken in the above note.
Mr. Shelton, husband ot the scalded lady
named above, together with liis two children, is
at the Worsham.
INCIDENTS OF TIIE DISASTER.
The scene which ensued immediately after
the explosion, is said to have been most horrible
—the river being absolutely blackened with the
forms of the dead and the struggling, writhing,
wounded—while the after lower deck presented
the revolting and ghastly sight of a desperately
contested battle-field. Ere the shivered portions
of the boathad descended into the river, the
flames burst forth, adding new horror. The
powder which lay in tfie utild was taken out aud
thrown overboard by CSptBin THompson and the
second mate, Mr. Sam. Harris, who
stood to this perilous work, although o3& of his
legs was broken at the time.
The survivors speak in glowing and enthusi
astic terms of the conduct of Captain Thompson,
and the almost impossible action of Mr. Harris.
The bodies of the killed were being taken out
by the citizens all along below the Memphis as
St. Patrick passed along. The survivors were
nearly all rescued at and near commerce. From
the testimony of eye witnesses, this has been one
of the most terrible catastrophes which ever took
place on the Mississippi.
At a late hour, we have succeeded in obtaining
the following .-
LIST OF WOUNDED AT CITV HOSPITAL.
D. II. Hornet, deck hand, New Orleans.
John JIcCart3% deck hand, New Orleans.
William Campbell, deck hand, New Orleans
John Carles, deck hand, St. Louis.

The remainder of the twent3’-three that went
to the hospital slightly scalded, had their injuries
dressed, and left without giving their names.
AT THE COMMERCIAL.
Hamilton D. Smith, striker, badly scalded,
Louisville, Kentucky.
As is ever the case where suffering and mis
fortune can be found, the Sisters of ’harity, on
hearing of the sad disaster, immediately repaired
to the City Hospital, where we saw them last
night, like ministering angels soothing the pil
low ot anguish and supplying the wants of the
suffering.
Among the surgeons of our city at the hospital
last night, doing all in their power for the
wounded, were Dr. Robert Mitchell, Dr. Cavan
augh, Dr. Sterling, Dr. Charles A. Warner and
Dr. James Keller. We doubt not that all the
surgeons in the city are willing to give their as
sistance to the sufferers, but we have onl3 r men
tioned those whom we saw.
TO THE LADIES OF MEMPHIS.
We were requested last night by the surgeons
at the City Hospital to ask the ladies of Mem
phis to send in early this morning [quantities of
lint and bandages for the sufferers who sadly
stand in need of them. Ladies, we know } r ou
have only to be told this to ensure the prompt
supply of not only these but all other articles
needed.
BY TELEGRAPH.
TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Interview with Santa Anua.
A special correspondent of the Louisville Dem
ocrat had an interview witli the one-legged Mex
ican last Wednesday, of which that paper gives
the following account:
It being a matter of much conjecture whether
General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna is on the
imperial or the republican side of the Mexican
fence, the correspondent of the Louisville Demo
crat accepted an invitation from some of the Gen
eral’s friends, this morning, to take a cup of cof
fee witli li*un, with a view, if possible, of solving
the vexed question.
Proceeding to a brown stone mansion in the
upper part of the city’—the residence of a well
known Spanish merchant, we were soon ushered
into the august presence of the ex-dictator. He
was reclining on a sofa and smoking a cheroot
when we entered, lie immediately rose, with a
free and eas3’ “ Happy to see you, gentlemen,”
(bespeaks English,) and took each of the party
by the hand, with a request that, we should be
seated.
Refreshments in the shape of “green seal ”
and cigars were then served up. After some gen
eral observations concerning our mutual healths,
the state of the weather, the prospects of a visit
from the cholera in the course of the coining
summer, and other common places, your corres
pondent ventured to break tiie ice touching the
General’s particular business in New York.
Dem. Cor.—“ Affairs in Mexico, General, are
assuming a very interesting phase.”
Santa Anua.—“ Yes, sir, they are. It is sad io
think ni3 r poor county is never to end her civil
wars, as 3’our country has.”
Dem. Cor.—“ Do you think, General, that au3 r
considerable portion of the Mexican people are
attached to the Empire V”
Santa Anna.—“Oh, yes; I have no doubt of it.
Time often works wonders. IMaiiy who disliked
foreign intervention, at first, seeing the intruders
have given them protection to life and property,
ma3’ lie reconciled l»3 r degrees to the new order
of things.”
Dem. Cor.—“But, do 3’ou think that those who
entertatu such views constitute anything like a.
majority of your countiymen ?”
Santa Anna.—“By no means. They include
the foreign merchants, emigrants, and a certain
proportion of the Roman Catholic clergy. I be
lieve the great majority of the Mexican people
proper, it tlie3' could have their way to-day,
would vote the imperial system out of the coun
try to-morrow.”
Dem. Cor.—“What do you think of the feeling
in the army on that point ;”’
Santa Anua.—“M3' dear sir, Mexican soldiers
are like all other kinds ot soldiers. They will
fight for those who pay them best. If the Re
public had the means to pay its troops, the
French would never have been able to walk in
so easily. Maximilian had money, and whoever
has mone3 r , in Mexico or anywhere else, has al
ways at hand the sinews of war.”
Dem. Cor.—“Wlmt think 3'ou, general; would
it not he better for Mexico that the imperial sj’s-
tem would he consolidated there than that the
Republic should again supercede it V In other
words, do 3’ou think republicanism consonant
with t he genius of the Mexican people ?”
Santa Anna.—“It matters but little what 1113'
opinions are on that point. My convictions are
that the imperial intrusions cannot endure, be
cause it is an intrusion. I think if the French
troops were withdrawn the Empire would totter
to its downfall in less than thirty days there
after.”
Dem. Cor.—“General, some of the newspapers
have been publishing letters written by you three
years ago, giving in our adhesion io the Empire
aud eulogizing Maximilian.”
Santa Anna.—“I expected that those letters
would be published. I do not deny their authen
ticity: It is true that at the time they were writ
ten I thought that Mexico, just rescued from an
archy, might find peace under the new regime.—
The events since transpiring have disabused my
mind. No man can foresee or control events.—
All men in public life are subject to change of
opinions as events themselves change. Patriot
ism and statesmanship are both governed by the
law of our existence. Your own American pub
lic men are illustrations of this. Your recent
war compelled many of them to modify their
views of public policy.”
Dem. Cor.—“Then, general, as I understand
you, you are now in favor of ordering out Maxi
milian and restoring the Republic?”
Santa Anna.—“Exactly so.”
Dem. Cor.—“How would you proceed V”
Santa Anna.—“I cannot answer that question
definite^’ at present. I have a plan of my own,
which I shall take the earliest opportune* of
communicating to the friends of Mexico in the
United States, aud if it meets their approval, I
believe the days of the Mexican Empire are
numbered, and this too without embroiling the
government in the perils of war. For myself, I
mean to consecrate the remainder of my days to
my country. I have no selfish or ambitiousends
to’ subserve. I have wealth enough to satisf3*
the reasonable wants of any man for a lifetime,
but I am weary of retirement, and desire to de
vote all my energies and all m3* wealth now to
the cause of Mexican independence. Enemies
may misrepresent my motives, and impeach my
disinterestedness; but I shall nevertheless pursue
the course I have prescribed for myself, leaving
my vindication to be determined by results.”
At this point the general appeared anxious to
change the conversation, and as he bad been so
communicative, your correspondent did not
deem it either politic or proper to “pump” him
further. The rest of his talk was about the the
atre, the opera, the Central Park, the greatness of
the cit3' of New York, etc.
A Woman’s Rights Movement.—The Alex
andria (Va.) Gazette sa3’s that travellers on the
Little River turnpike, a day or two ago, witness
ed an agricultural procedure which, before the
war, had been heard of. but never seen in that
localit3*. Two negro women, hitched to a
plough, and driven by a negro man. were break
ing ground at the point named. The women
looked tired and worn, and the driver had not
the happy countenance of a cornfield hand five
or six I'ears ago.
One of the London beer brewers paid license
duty last year for more than 350.000 barrels,
another for more than 400.000. a third for more
than 4-30,000, a fourth for more than 550.0o0, and
a fifth for more than 000,000 barrels. These five
brewers together paid more than $150,000 license
duty.
A Nashua man recently lost his “ beloved
companion ” on Saturday, buried her on Sunday,
procured a marriage certificate on Monday, and
on Tuesday was again enjoying the pleasures of
married life.
The Yankees who bought Lower California
of J uarez gave but $15,000 for it, instead ot a
million. It is a grand speculation, but there is
no probability that an3 T bona fide government of
Mexico will consent to be robbed of territory in
that wav.
The War in Europe—Peace Conference—
The Preparation* Still Continue.
New York, June 3.—The steamer Herman,
with Southampton dates to the 23d, and the
steamer Maritten, with Liverpool to the 22d and
Queenstown to the 23d, have arrived.
A Paris telegram to the London Post states
that a definitely arranged conference between
France, England and Russia on one side, and
Austria, Prussia and Italy on the other, will
meet at Paris, with Drouin D. l’Huys as Presi
dent The London Herald says the conference
can do nothing, and war is certain unless the
combatants become exhausted under the great
weight of preparations. The Dresden official
journal say3 the conference was to meet on the
25th of May, but Austria evinces a disinclina
tion to participate. It she persists, she will be
represented pro. tem. by England. In Russia
there is no relaxation in military’ preparations,
and the universal feeling for a pacific solution is
hopeless. Prussia decrees that in the event war
ensues, merchant ships on the high seas are not
liable to capture, provided a similar rule be
adopted. Austrian commandant notified that
Venetian attempts to enlist an Italian corps, or
encourage absentees, will be dealt with by mar
tial law. It is assented that Austria has refused
to discuss the proposition tor cessation. The
Venetian formation of volunteers into regiments
commenced on tne 21st. A Vienna dispatch
says that a treaty between Prussia and Italy is
offensive, defensive and continuous till the end
of the present year. The Prussian corps have
been concentrated at Wiltzkerfurth to prove that
Prussia accepts the mediation conference. The
departure of the Prince Royal and Prince Fred
erick Charles has been postponed. The report
that the Austrian patrol had crossed the Prussian
frontier is denied by tiie Austrian commander.
The LaU*t Foreign War New*.
Queenstown, May’ 23.—The European crisis
is unchanged. The statement that all the pow

Harrison, former Secretary of Mr. Davis, is here.
The Fenian Movements.
New York, June 3.—No definite intelligence
in regard to the Fenians. One report says the
Fenians drove back the British, capturing over
100, killing 19, and wounding more. A Canadi
an dispatch say's the volunteer only’ fell back for
reinforcements. It is reported that, a large num
ber of Fenians crossed the Niagara river yester
day. A Buffalo dispatch says a liight will occur
to-day. The Fenians are said still to hold Fort
Erie. A Montreal dispatch says Gen. Sweeney,
is at Stalbans with a large force, but all this needs
confirmation.

ulars of the Fenian battle at Ridgeway. The
Fenians, 1,000 strong, met. the volunteers and
charged them, but a swamp intervening, Col.
O’Neil ordered a halt, and to fall back. The
volunteers believing that the Fenians were re
treating, made a charge w hich was met by' the
Fenians, who routed the enemy pursuing them
two miles. The volunteers fled to Fort Col-
borne completely demoralized. Fenian loss six

SECOND DISPATCH.
Washington, June 4.—Senate.—The Post
master General has scut a communication to the
Senate against the proposed pi a» of united tele
graph lines with the postal system. He says:
“As the result of my investigations, 1 do not
thiuk it wise for the government to inauguarate
the proposed system, not only because of its
doubtful financial success, but of its questionable
feasibility under our political system.”
The fourth and first sections of the reconstruc
tion resolution have passed by a two-thirds vote.
The radicals voted down several amendments of
the conservatives. Senator Hendricks reviewed
the proceedings as extraordinaiy, unwise, unjust,
and said the people would never endorse them.
They were born in caucus, and the proposition
was for the political necessities of party, and
not for the interest of the country. Senate ad
journed.
House.—The resolution of Mr. Williams call
ing upon the President to inform the House
whether any goverment employees in the Sooth
have in any way countenanced public honors to
living or dead Confederates; also, whether the
privilege of honoring the graves of the Union
soldiers has been in an3* instance denied by the
authorities with the acquiescence of the officers
of the government, was passed through under

The cholera still prevails at quarantine, and
12 more deaths are reported.
The European Difficulty.
The latest foreign intelligence states that
France, England and Russia are seeking to
bring about a peaceful solution of the difficulty,
though it is not believed that their e onference
can accomplish anything.
Tha Trial of Mr. Davis.
Richmond, June 4—Judge Unclerwood has
not arrived, and there was no court to-day. Emi
nent lawyers express the opinion tlmt the ad
jonmment of the Circuit Court from Norfolk to
Richmond, after the indictment of Mr. Davis
was unauthorized by law, and hence, the order
of adjournment is a'nullity. If this opinion is
correct, tbe only action of tbe court will be to
discharge the Grand. Jury under tbe recent act of
Congress. The Chjef Justice may order a spe
cial term of the court held in Richmond before
which the trial of Mr. Davis may he demanded
or motion for bail submitted, hut as yet no such
order has been issued.
The Fenian War.
Buffalo, Juue 4-—All quiet to-day. Among
the captured Fenians are Cols. O’Neil, Farr, and
others. The arms of Fenians, and the British

The YYais Cloud.—The Washington corre
spondent of the New York Commercial writes as
follows:
“One of the oldest members of the Corps Dip
lomatique said, at a dinner table, yesterday eve
ning : ‘A European war is as inevitable now as
a war of sections was here in the winter of 1860
and 1861. Nothing can avert hostilities, and if
a general continental war is at once commenced,
who can say when or where it will end ?’
“This is the opinion, also, of those members of
Congress best informed on European affairs, who
believe that before the expiration of the present
session of Congxess, Louis Napoleon will not
feel disposed to leave thirty thousand battle-har
dened troops in Mexico, but will recall them to
strengthen liis fortes, should any emergency oc
cur. Meanwhile, Maximilian is already “hard
up,” aud there are indications that he will go
back to Europe, hag and baggage, including bis
imperial crown.
“Then will come the opportunity. The United
States can then dictate how and by whom Mex
ico shall be governed, without sending a single
regiment across the Rio Grande, or a single mon
itor to Vera Cruz. It is understood that Mr.
Seward has a scheme by which Santa Anna will
return to head a Republican Government, which
will pa3 r the public and private debts,.due by
Mexico in France, but this the friends of Juarez
denounce in bitter terms, declaring that the
present Republic is not to be disturbed, and that
money is all that is needed to establish it firmly.
Depend upon it, we are on the eve of important
diplomatic events.”
Afropos of the progress of social demoraliza
tion abroad, a Paris letter writer says : “ The ir
ritation which exists in all classes here at the
spread of female corruption, and the splendor
and corruptioi^fthese women, has attracted the
attention ^kj^HBffikirninent, The ruin they
have wroiiglir^NlWRniy produce in families is
likewise giving alarm to all thinking men. The
suicides, the insolvency, the blasted lives due to
them exeeed all belief. The Government asks
in vain for somebody to point out a remedy. It
has tried arresting the most conspicuous of these
women, but the President of Police is at once be
sieged to release them by the most distinguished
meu at the capital, and thus the best men in
Paris are degraded and a wider license given to
this fearful evil.”
A Family Quarrel.—An angry and excited
discussion occurred in the Senate recently be
tween Senators Sherman and Fessenden, which
more than once required the interference of the
President, ]rro. tem. Mr. Sherman was anxious
to press the loan funding bill. Sir. Fessenden,
and it seems other members of the Committee on
Finance, are violently opposed to the measure.
It is sl3 T ly charged that in pressing it so strenu
ously upon the immediate attention of the Sen
ate, Mr. Sherman is seeking to advance the in
terests of some celebrated' bankers, who have
long been firm friends of the Senator, and are
expected to manage the funding of the loans
under the provisions of this bill.—National Intel
ligencer.
It now costs a single person not less than four
dollars a day (foreign visitors) to live decently in
Paris, and will cost half as much more when the
Exhibition shall have brought half the world to
the French capital.

Atlanta Market.
Tuesday, June 5.—Trade opened stiff yesterday morn
ing in the leading articles of merchandise. For Corn
there was the usual inquiry, with no change in prices.—
Bacon was stiff, with an upward tendency, and a fair sup
ply in the market. There has been a slight advance in
the West. Flour is firm at onr quotations, with only a
moderate stock in store.
THE MONEY MARKET.
The price of Gold, after fluctuating from day to day
during the past week, was quiet yesterday, buying at 37
and selling at 40 cents. In Bank-bills many changes have
taken place, for which see our figures in another place.
Liverpool Cotton Market.
CIRCULAR PROM W. C. WATTS A CO.
Liverpool, May 18,1866.
Cotton.—In onr report of Friday, 11th Instant, the esti
mated stock was given at 859,930 bales, and we then quot
ed middling American 12)£d to 13d. On Satnrday the
suspension of the Bank Act was generally known, and a
more cheerful feeling prevailed; there was a rebonnd of
IX per cent, in the English funds, and active demand for
cotton sprung up. and American improved J£d to XA, but
before the close of business, the bank rate was advanced
to 10 per cent, (an advance of 4 per cent, in nine days,)
which caused the market to close more quietly. On Mon
day there was -again an active demand for American at
the extreme prices of Satnrday, bnt business was restrict
ed by the small supply on sale. On Tueeday, Manchester
did not fully respond to the improvement here; the rate
of discount and difficulty of effecting negotiations check
ed business in goods ana yarns. The result wae_a quieter
market here, without, however, any quotable change in
prices. On Wednesday, advices from New York to 5th
instant were received, reporting cotton firm at 34c for
middling, with gold at 127Jf. This had no perceptible
effect here, but the trade demand continued steady and
prices were fully maintained. Yesterday several large
commercial houses here suspended. This caused increas
ed uneasiness in financial circles, and led to an increased
supply of cotton being placed on the market, and, the
demand being limited, prices gave way about XA. To-day
the market has ruled very qniet, and prices are barely
maintained.
Onr quotations given below, as compared with those of
last week, show the following changes; an advance of XA
to XA in American, and a decline of XA in Egyptian and
Snrats.
In Sea Island the business of the week was large, the
decline haring induced a more extended consumption.—
Onr quotations are reduced about Id ® lb.
As pertinent to the general position of onr market, we
may add that the aspect of Continental politics has chang
ed but little during the week, and public opinion seems
pretty equally divided between the chances of peace and
war. The violence of the financial panic has somewhat
abated; still the bank return this week is very unfavora
ble, and this in connection with the present extraordina
ry rate of discount and the enormons losses on the pre
sent large stock of cotton, canses much uneasiness and
distrust. Moreover, it is feared the bank and commercial
suspensions which have already been announced will lead
to further serious complications, which may be greatly in
creased by the response from India to the panic here.—
The recent decline in cotton has as yet effected no mate
rial reduction in shipments to this country. What will
be the fleet some months hence is a question that receives
bnt little attention at present, bnt because of the enor
mous stock on hand at sea.
From our tables below it will be seen the imports the
past week were again very large—say 172,793 bales, in
cluding 77,239 American—and that the stock now stands
at 970,500 bales (an increase of 100,570 on last week,)
against 506.420 last year, an 'increase of 464.080. Reduc
ing the China piculs to average bales, the cotton at sea
for great Britain is 274,500 bales in excess of last year.—
This added to the increase in stock makes the total excess
of last year 738.530 hales, against a total excess on 23d of
March (when middling American was at 19XA to 19J£) of
182,560 bales, as compared with the same date last year.—
We may farther ada that the falling off in receipts at the
American ports, and the very unfavorable reports as to
the growing crop, at present attract little or no atten
tion.
The actual sales of the w.eek closing last evening were
60,070 bales, of which 49,550 were taken by the trade,
4,930 declared for export, 0,140 on speculation, included in
.he sales were 25.850 bales American, of which 2,230 on
Speculation and the remainder for consumption. The
jrtock of American now stands at 415,190 bales against
a,430 last year.
