The following are the comparative tables of the trade of the port for last week and since January 1:— om ‘sie For the werk. .

A bridge insncha position as the one at Rock Island fs a work of pub- lic utility, and a step forward. Each step in mate- rial progress usnally involves injury to some estab- lished interest or other ; it is the misfortune of St. Louis that it is the sufferer in this case. But the way to meet the matter is to display fresh energy in opening new channels for trade, and not to try to break down that which is obviously a public im- provement, St. Lonis should buildsome more rail- roads or canals; should offer new advantages to farmers and traders ; should diminish the dues now levied on traffic. This is the way to counteract the supposed mischievous efforts of the Rock Island Bridge. To try to destroy it is even sillier and far more wicked than the famous ‘‘ peanut insurrec- tion” at Erie, Pennsylvania. The current rates of bankers’ exchange are, for N04 a ¢ for short sight; for bills on Paris, 5.13; a 14} for 60 day bills, and 6103 fer short sight. Ac- cording to the usual rule, exchange has reached its maximum for the season; with the ensuing month adecline may, perhaps, be looked for. Much, the course of the importing trade. We are now specie than last year, but more produce, Should the harvest intelligence from Enrope lead to in- creased shipments of cereal and animal food, ex- change will naturally droop; should the foreign firm or rise.

Itremains to be seen what effect the large supplies which are coming in from the country will have upon our markets. At present they fluctuate in connection’ with the intelligence from England. When the Persia arrived with news of contioued bad weather, wheat rose in our market a cent a bushel, with large transactions; when the Parana's advices,of better weather were telegraphed from St. offs, the market fell back and was dull. There appears to be no doubt but Great Britain will need a large quantity of grain from us this fall; the British harvests are about a month later than usual, and it is doubtful whether the finest possible weather can bring them up to an average. On the other hand, we have so large a surplus to spare that we can afford to ship as much cereal food to Great Britain as we did in 1856, without causing | the price of grain to rise here very materially. | How much food the South will need remains to be | ascertained. In several of the Gulf States the planters write that they will need to buy corn throughout the winter, the drought having de- stroyed their crop. Nothing but the event, how- | ever, will show precisely how much stuff will be needed from the West. The new cotton year will commence in ten days, and great anxiety is felt with regard to the cotton crop, which is known to have been much injured | y the drought in Texas, Georgia, Alabama and | | floating debts; that the managers of many roads are vanced from 2 to 4 per cent; this was followed by busi including uew white Ohio at $1 30 a $1 31, good a decline of 1 a 2 per cent; and this again on Fri- ro) x4 $1 40 2 $1 50.
