The Triumphs of “Patti.”
There are few instances of artistio careers,

six years she spent so successfully in Europe
the two or three years of her earlier career in
America, it will be seen that she has .not yet

The Prospects of Cottos.
The following speculations from Smith & Ed
wards last circular are interesting:
It must be remembered, however, that against
the increased growth of cotton in India, there is
a serious set off in the deficient supply of old
crop to arrive in Europe this year, and perhaps
the fact scarcely received the attention it de
served in our annual circular 5 there was a de
ficiency of 80,000 bales afloat from India for
Europe on first of January, and perhaps a far
ther deficiency of 70,000 shonld be added for
subsequent short shipments from Bombay.
This allowance we think ample, as very little
old cotton was shipped from Bombay last year
after January, the country at that date being
almost cleared of old crop. The conclusion to
which these figures point, is that against a pos
sible increase of 300,000 bales in the growth of
Western India may be put a deficit of 150,000
bales in the supply of old cotton, and it is also
possible that owing to the lateness of this crop
an extra quantity may remain in the country
till next year, so that it is doubtful if any im.
portent increase can take place in the arrivals
of Indian cotton in Europe this present year;
still the fact, if it prove true, of so great a de
velopment in the growth of cotton in India
must surely exert an influence on our market
later in the year, and will probably yield ns
several months of very heavy shipments from
Bombay, and instead of the crop being exhaust
ed at the break of the monsoon, as it was prac
tically last year, there will be a large reserve to
fall back upon, and a continuous stream of
liberal shipments will likely be kept up daring
the last months of the year.
We also believe the influence of the Suez Ca
nal will be very important some months hence.
A large number of steamers are on their way
out, or soon to leave for Bombay and we hear
almost daily of new steamers offering for en
gagement on that route. We believe the bulk
of the early shipments of cotton will oome by
the Canal; the freights accepted are so low
(£3 10s. per ton of 40 feet, at which rate sev
eral steamers have been chartered,) that it
makes it cheaper to ship by that route than
round the Cape, then the great advantage is
considered of getting cotton here during the
season of scarcity. We incline to think that a
greater share of the India trade will come by
the Canal the first season than the public are
prepared for, and the same cause which expe
dites the arrival of cotton here will equally
hasten the arrival of goods in India. The out
ward freights by steamer are now so low, that
it seems as if the old passage by the Cape to
Bombay would soon cease to be used, and even
for Calcutta a large portion of the trade in
Manchester goods will evidently go by Canal.
The' general conclusion to which we are led
by the foregoing survey is as follows: There is
still a good prospect of a substantial addition to
the cotton supply of Europe this year, though
not quite so good as a month ago, owing to the
lateness of tho India crop and tho damage some
portion of it has received; but we are less in
clined to look for a serious fall in price, owing
to the great and unexpected strength Manches
ter has lately shown. We think, however, the
critical time will conite two or three months
hence, when existing contracts will have ex
pired in Manchester, and large arrivals of cot
ton from America coincide with liberal arrivals
by canal from India and heavy shipments from
Bombay. It will then be seen whether the largs
production of goods which has now been going
on for some months can be continuously ab
sorbed at present high prices, or whether it will
again prove trne what has repeatedly happened
in Manchester the last few years, viz., that a full
production made ont of cotton costing 12d par
lb. for Middling Orleans, cannot be kept up
for more than a few months at a time without
leading to a general heaviness of trade, and
necessitating short time. It may be that there
is sufficient elasticity of trade to enable produ
cers to work full time all the year round, and
sell their goods without loss, on the basis of 12d
for Amorican cotton, but we much doubt it,
judging from past experience.

New York Dry Goods Market.
From the Independent, 23d. J
The market is very abundantly supplied with
every description of goods, though not over
stocked, except in certain styles of unbleached
cottons, of which tho holders do not feel any
anxiety to make special sales. There is a con
stant shrinkage in tho price of the raw material,
which will necessarily prevent any increase in
tho values of domestic cottons. The crop of
1869 is now conceded to be fully up to 3,000,-
000"bales, and the price is tending toward lower
rates.
- In nnbloached domestic cotton sheetings and
shirtings the demand has been very good. In
dian Head and Appleton A, standards, and Lau
rel D 16i cents; Adriatic 16 cents; Ozark 15$
cents. *
In bleached shirtings and sheetings the lead
ing makes have been freely sold, and prioes
continue firm, but without a quotable change.
New York Mills bring 22$ cts., Newmarket W.
17 cts., do. C 14$ cts., Bartlets 13$ ots. for 7-8.
Printing cloths in the gray are dull, and prices
have a downward tendency. Sales have been
reported at 7j cts. of 64 Standards, and 7$ cts.
for Extras.
. The feeling in the demand for prints has
been lively, and a very fair business has been
done. Sprague’s now light fancies sell at 11$
to 12$ cents, less 4 per cent. 30 days.
Boiled jackonets are in ftft demand for small
lots. Manvilles, plain, 11 cents; do. high col
ore, 12 cents; Warren, 11$cents; Londsdali
10$ cents.
Bilesias are selling moderately to make np se
lections, but withont much activity. Prices
steady. Ward Mills, 15 cents; Indian Orchard
14$ cents.
Cambrics meet a stendy sale for the regular
mng trade, but withont marked aotivity.
nion assorted sell at 10 cents; Novelty, ‘
cents ; Arcadia, 9$ cents, plain.
Cotton bags are in less active demand, but
prices are firmly maintained for the best makes.
Corset jeans are selling in small lots moder
ately well for the season, withont change of
prices. Bates jeans, 12 cents; Newmarket,
12$ cents; Pepperell, 16 cents; Suffolk, 15
cents.
Stripes and ticks are in moderate demand.
Hamilton stripes are quoted at 21 cents for S,
and 22 oents for TJ. 8,; Glasgow, 17 cents for
6x3; do., 19 cents for 3x3; Arkwright Excel
sior, 15 cents. -
Ginghams are aotive and in good demand.
Lancashires sell at 15 cents, Glasgow 16 cents,
Eveptt 17 cents, Caledonia Mills 14 cento, Beal
Ears tin 25 centB.
Printed lawns and percales are not yet in
good demand, thbugb the season is early
these goods. The sales are mostly to keep np
assortments. Prioes are withont change.
In mnslin de laines there is only a fair busi
ness doing; but the sales, though small, are
well distributed, and will necessitate frequent
renewals to keep up assortments. Prioes
steady.
Woollens generally are dull, there being
moderate degree of business in cloths in black
and colored. The large clothing houses seem
to have laid in their spring supplies, and 10b-
bers boy only for their present trade. Prices
are without any quotable change.
The Brazilian soldiers returning from Para
guay have a horrible story of finding a thousand
Paraguayan women in a famishing condition,
many of them wounded by the soouta of Lopez;
while on the roads many others were found with
their throats cut by the same troops.

PRACTICAL. WATCHMAKER.
MANUFACTURING JEWELER AND OPTICIAN,
FT1HE SUPPLY OF PERUVIAN GUANO having
JL become exhausted, it is necessary for the
planting community to look fqr a substitute for
this article, so efficacious in promoting and sus
taining the growth of cotton. The combination
of Peruvian Gnano and Dissolved Bones has been
fonnd to be the safest and best of all the many ar
ticles offered, and we are confident that in an or
dinary season, to use the language of Mr. David
Dickerson, can never fail. In presenting our AM-
MONIATED to the planter, we but rive the com
bination in a form ready for immediate use, thur
saving the cost and trouble of manipulation and
securing uniformity in quality.
The practical results obtained from the articles
shipped by us, prove them to be superior to all
others, and in a trade extending through every
portion of the cotton growing regions, and, during
he past five years, consuming thousands of tons,
e are yet to hear of the first complaint.
In our manufacture we discard all mineral phos
phates, and rely entirely upon
'HBE B03STH1.
made readily soluble by the use of Sulphuric Acid
The Ammonia is supplied from the next valuable
source to Peruvian Guano, and in sufficient quan
tities to give the plant a vigorous and healthy
owth, the 6olnble bone sustaining it throughout
,e season.
We have no hesitation in placing this article
against any mannfsptnrq or combination known,
rad will refund every dollar spent In its purchase
in case it does not give satisfaction.
For the character rad puritvof the articles* dip
ped by us we refer to the prominent names ap
pended, they being a few of those who obtain their
supplies from us.1
