 Review of the Year. Agreeably the recommendation of the New orsan' Chamber of Commerce we close our tables the ls ns. which henceforwlrd is to be the beginning of the | ciS

 In ancing through the business of the year. serve TO very striking pecuarty except perhaps, eyenness prices and demand VI hch is almost ampled years back In the opening orthe ket it was some before prices reached their eve There were some foreign orders be filed but the limit assigned them considered to be from to wo cents below the craze market that time. The foreign hat embarrassed and prices had declined. The effect this, however, felt lere for the quantity hand small, and the sales being for domestic consumption kept the market clear until th for eign demand revived, and brought purchasers into the | field ready to yield to the wishes of holders.

 The market opened prices ranging from 71 Ole but near the middle of November before y settl, and commenced The ruling that month were from 74 10.

The high point attained m April when tho quotations ranged good and fine l2t good fair ilt l2; fair Il li mid ding fair 0a; middling 10! 0A; ordinary 9+ 10c- From this period down the market has gradually declined except in few instances when the prices equal to the highest obtained.

 The receipts for the month of November about l4 5000 bales. It until about the 2Oth of this fair business began buyers and sellers freely meeting | each others views.

The market hls time continued steady with slight fluctuations, (not exceedng lc) up about the lst May aer which gradually be- duler the stock became reduced-and continued to decline until the close of the season-when we quote fully fair 9l l0c and other grades in proportion.

 During the first six months the entire shipped Eur h.ta. 900 forward New York; and 2 OOU to Boston. Except very small parcels there good and fire qualities sale until the middle of January The first classification of these grades given the 6th Il He.

 The prospect for a safe and healthy business think isbetter than has been for years past Prices gradually settling into something like stability-he exavagan rates of property in the city have been ens- ply reduced and will be twenty thirty per less than they last year. What of essential m- porIance is the probable of many potica tons hich have kept the country turmoil long ing upon all the business relations of fe and having influence upon mercantile which was really fictitious and decidedly pernicous The Bankrupt bill will proba- by nfuse vigor into numbers and for the time being gve perhaps healthy impulse all the various depart of trade The currency of the country, although without any positively beneficial change, in the na- ofthngs, improve. People coming look upon that and many other financial subjects wit less prejudice and and public opinion is approxma- ting that point which will afford the only ghtfu and remedy for redundant and deprecated standard value.

 The crops we think will reach if not exceed the aver age the three previous years At this the year complaints of unpropitous weather, of worm &c. are matter of course Such things have been and always will be- but the effects only partial and those who have sustained los thereby generally give the bias opn ion. We to hear of the losses of individuals this respect when total silence observed towards the successful harvests which perhaps than supply partial deficiencies In the high lands there question but the production will be smalbut in the rich bottom soils in nearly all parts of the country. the yield will be uxuriant and probably of better quality generally than produced last year. To Mississippi ennessee. Geor ga and Alabama these remarks apply particularly. Tn, production in all these will probably than counterbaance any deficiencies which may exist.

 That may make the average above referred to we give the crops ofthe last four years

 What the ruling prices may be is dicuh to judge The English manufacturers in very embarrassed con dition. The stock hand in Liverpool is totally ampled for quantity, and the failure in the grain crops that country which is dreaded, will have very sensib perncious effect the markets. This will be aggra- vaed by the large stocks held by domestic manuacu- rers From these think that the market will be approached with caution and prices will low, and improve towards spring.
