Congressional. HOUSE. Washington, Jan. 5, 1858. Mr. Stephens.—Mr. Clerk, lam opposed to that | -. iution. iust as I was opposed to the resolution . the gentleman from Tennessee, , Mr. Etheridge. 1 nk the suggestions made bv the gentleman | :: Pennsylvania, or ratber bis plan for an organ ! utinn, wholly impracticable. We cannot organ ise House, sir, in that way, in mv opinion, and - oild be uppo-v dto doing it. if we could. One • i v i remarks, however, fell from that gentleman, !i 1 W ish to reply U* before making the motion ■><■•!* 1 intend to submit. He said that the inetn d the American party, to which he is attached, • this House, as 1 understood him, were elected si the principles of that party, as paramount to other questions, and his whole object seems to <«» invoke anil _ effect an organization of this House upon the basis of the principles of the Amer yn party. What the strength of that party is in House T do not know ; but the gentleman from k-ntuekv Mr. Humphrey Marshall the other day dorined us, il I did not misunderstand him, that re was a majority upon this floor belonging to i'tt party. It may be, then, that the House could organized upon the principles of that party, ■ aramount, we are told, with them to all other 'ions; but 1 wish to ask the gentleman, and House, and the country, what a spectacle would * presented to the world by such a result!' It v In-, I say —for I do not know—that there is a orify in this House -sav one hundred and sev enteen or one hundred and eighteen members— wil l have joined that party, but there are onlv . m thirty-four, all told, who vote with the geti .man from Pennsylvania [Mr. llroom 1 and the niletnan from Kentucky, Mr Humphrey Mar - ndl. 1 and hut five or six,'l believe, from the en •.re North who stand with them for Mr. Fuller c.;inst Mr. Ranks. All the other members of that rarty amounting, it this statement be true, to re than two-thirds, and perhaps three-fourths of party stand in solid phalanx against one ■ : ' ‘ctioti of this Union, for Mr. Banks has not Bed : single vote from the entire South. Now, ► •, if such be the American party, what a specta • •!•*•• it present to the country! 1 Might I not : 1 to the gentleman from Pennsylvania him -* : as v. ' ll as to his associates froth the South, ask, if the party in its beginning, not much • two yars eld, has become so thoroughly cor ■ that, a: least two-thirds, if not three-fourths of s members, are arrayed in solid phalanx against ;■ whole section of the Union, ought it not to he : it down ? I am. therefore, sir, opposed to the organiza ii of this House upon the basis of the princi •» of a party so organized and so constituted— ae that presents no better grounds than this to nsideration. But die gentleman said that American party were elected upon the prin "t (hat party as paramount to all others, ff -v gentlemen were elected in different portions ih** country, or what questions were consid- j ■- i as paramount in the canvass, I shall not . f nake to sav. So far a:, ray own election •mi concerned, I will sav this, however: I was ■•iccied upon the principle of maintaining the ■' institution of the United States in all its length mid breadth, height and depth —every clause and '•very seed aof it. This, with me, sir. was para mount to all other questions. Mr. Broom Allow me to say that so was I. Mr. Stephens --Then let us see, Mr. Clerk, if I : mderstand the principles of that party, and the j .. intlemim cun set me right if l am in error, he- | ewe we outsiders have got only the little glim- ! string light that is occasionally shot forth from I • dark caverns of the secret “Order." Laugh- j ' and applause Ts l understand, I say, the ; e-inoiples of the gentleman's party, on tho prin- j pics of which, us a basis, he desires an organ iza •n of the House, it sets out with this : that no | uciiiher of it shall ever vote for anybody, for anv 1 trie, who is not a native-born American, who is! u r in favor of “Americans ruling America,” nor 1 he he a Roman Catholic. I ask the gentleman ! ■f that is not the corner-stone of his party. This I 1 understand to lie trtu —and, perhaps, hereon j hangs a tale" which may explain why some gen- ! tl'.-tnen from the South cannot vote for the gentle- ; man from Illinois Mr. Richardson . He. it is true, may he a native-horn American; he may be' :-.j Komau Catholic, hut lie docs not subscribe to , their creed of “ Americans ruling America"— tht l t ■ r -> •(’ i.U •■.>/•/: ■•hkm* /t-.m ujice. lieace their inability to vote for him consistently with their obligations. Sir, the Constitution of this mtry docs not exclu 1 foreign-born citizens from rice; and hvanse the gentleman from Illinois 1 Mr. Richardson] w ill not assume a position high r than and above the Constitution, and make a , •it fir office that it never makes, there is an “ini- , n-sable harrier” between the gentleman from j rs imsylvania and the gentleman from Illinois, and ; rv other man that is not in favor of “Americans ■sung America,” or of excluding jitreian-bom- citi :« from Now, sir, the next principle of that party, as I ' nderstand it, is, that if an individual is elected • it tii office, he never shall confer office upon any j i ign-born citizen, or upon a Roman Catholic, j ui shall remove all such from office where it can ■ done. Y our President, sir, would be hound by Ac principles of that party —and hound, too, 1 be- j I we, by an oath —never to appoint a Roman Cath o.:c io office, as well as to remove all such who tt'ov hold office where he could do it. Now, sir, ; nr _ ‘tit: man says that lie is in favor of maintain ing the Constitution of the country. The Consti- j Hum says that no religions test shall ever be re- j quiii'd for any office or public trust under the Uni- j i d States ; but this principle of the American 1 arty makes it the dittv of the President, and of; ary other officer elected bv them, never to appoint j i» Roman Catholic to office; that is, it makes it ! the duty of those they elect to require a test in j in ir appointments. It is. therefore, in direct op- ; iinition to that great principle of the Constitution, i Now, i» an i ttieer elected by that party to coutplv | with the obligations of the party, or with the obit- j gations of the Constitution ? Mi- Bade, interrupting). Will tho gentleman] sllow me to ask him a question ? .’Jr. Stephens—-Yes, sir. Mr. Ryade -Suppose a candidate for office were i to admit to you. or. if he did not admit it, you j were yourself satisfied of the fact, that he Held j religions opinions inconsistent- with the freedom 1 and safety oj the country, would you vote for j him ? A Member -That is an impossibility. Mr. Stephens—l am not here, Mr. Clerk, to dis- : . uss questions of “r. r ji-nijs opinion. " I judge i ion by their acts—by their deeds -bv their worts. \ By their fruit ye shall know them.” and not by i their professions, their faith, or their creeds in j matters spiritual. If a man—a candidate, should I hold “political opinions” inconsistent with the • ■afpty of the country. 1 should vote against him. dis is a matter between himself and his God. Mr. Reade—The gentleman allowed me to ask . aim the question ; 1 nope the House and the coun uy will mark that lie will not answer it. Mr. Whitney —I should like to ask tho gentle- ‘ man from Georgia a question. Mr. Stephens--I will hoar the question. Mr. Whitney—l understand that the gentleman declines answering the question propounded to him by die gentleman from North Carolina. 1 will ask turn another, which he may perhaps bo able to Mr. Stephens—What is it 4 Mr. Whitney— I would ask that gentleman to suppose a person should apply to him for an ap ; ttitmem • > rot office of public trust, and that per should avow, or the gentleman should possess satisfactory evidence of the fact, that the person applying entertained pjiitU-al opinions hostile to the institutions of this Republic, would ho in that case appoint ■-itch person to office’ 1 Mr. Stephens—l would not. Mr. hitney—That is all; it is the political .ar.i : rot the Papacy which affords the sole baais : my oppmhien t > ns encroachments in this coun try. Mr. Stephens -The gentleman says that is the basis of his party's opposition to Papacy; that is ’h» reason they will allow no Roman Catholic to aold office bv election or appointment; and that assumes that evert man who holds that religions iaith, native-born or not. is an enemy to our coun try, which assumption [ spurn in behalf of that ■fcurcL. t.\ .-and- ; whom 1 believe to be a» true patriots as ever *-scathed American air. -!r. Eustis interrupting -I have no desire to interrogate the gentleman from Georgia. The pinions of tbs’- gentlemen are perfectly well known, ami I tame occasion to sav in this House, " n , I L tieslre 1! ,rt P< »•* ‘be country, that 1 coincide with him in every respect wit’, regard to his opin ion on the subject of this religions mat Mr Walker—So do 1. Several Members—So do I. Mr. Eustis—The State of Louisiana has repudi. io the most formal and smphaso msaa«- in action of the national American party of this cottn : try. j Stephens—The American party of the State i jOU * s^ana > I Had beard, sir, have repudiated that doctrine; and that other States have done, or will do the same, 1 have no doubt. They have done, or will be compelled to doit, State by State ‘ Council by Council, until the great fabric of Ameri canism, as at first reared by its secret, unknown • architects, growing “small by degrees and beauti fully less, will be extinct and defunct in less than twelve months. !,Laughter.; It is founded in er ror—concocted in it; thrown into existence from it; the diverse changes and mutations it has un . dergone in different places show this; and tvliat i remains of it rests still upon errors equally ffa j grant. ] Am i wrong, then, sir, in being opposed to an organization of the House upon the principles of ; such a party ? Those principles—those of the na tional American council—areas I have stated them, at least as 1 understand them. A House so organ* I tzed would be thrown into the hands of men, in my j opinion, whose objects and aims, so far from sus taining the Constitution, would he to strike it down i in some of its most essential particulars —some of the most characteristic ideas and principles of that “true Americanism” which 1 was reared to approve, and to cherish and admire. In appointment or election to office of men who are citizen*, either by ' birth or adoption, within the Constitutional limita tions, merit alone—in which I include not onlv j | ability and personal integrity, but political princt- ! pics —should be put into the scale, and it is iumia- i i terial to me where they are born, or what is their t religion. This is one of the glorious features of ■ American institutions. Are they true to the Con i stitution? Do they come up to its requirements | touching qualifications, and otherwise suitable for the office? If so, no question of eligibility arising from birth-place, religious faith, or creed’, should ever be raised in odious and unjust discrimination against classes or sects. The Clerk, ( interrupting)—The Clerk must re mind the gentleman from Georgia that his ten minutes have expired. [Cries of “Goon!” “Go on!” The gentleman will proceed by unanimous consent. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio —I make the same motion now that 1 made when the gentleman from Geor- ; gia [Mr. Stephens] objected to my colleague’s pro- j ceedtng the other day. 1 move that the gentle- ! man he permitted to proceed. Mr. Stephens—l will not proceed, as there is oh- j jection. Mr Oadwalader—Mr. Clerk, 1 do not rise with ; the slightest desire of interfering with these do- | mestic dissessions in the family of the so-called j American party. This quarrel they may fight out in detail for our present and future instruction, if not for their improvement or advantage, f rise, because there fell from my colleague, < Mr. Broom), with what I believe to have been a deluded, though perfect sincerity, certain references to past occur rences which he chooses to call historical. These ; are the melancholy occurrences at Philadelphia, in ( the years 1*43 and 1844, when this American party was, for a brief season, an open instead of a secret organization. In those days there were occuren ces which the honorable gentleman truly describes as historical; hut he has given what I believe to be an altogether erroneous statement of the historical facts to which he refers. Let me briefly state what is the version of those j who differ from him with equal sincerity of belief, and with at tsast equal means of knowledge. In ! every great city, crowded with inhabitants, there j is a portion of the population ready to take part in ; any scenes of rapine, or murder, or arson, or re- i ligious persecution offences which, for political ; purposes, I class in the same “category. For the ] misdeeds of such persons, the rest of’the popula- ] tion is to a very limited extent responsible, if re- ; sponsible at all. Sir, my native city is not exempt ] from the unavoidable curse of having within her i limits a class of such outlaws. Thank God ! but a j small portion of her population is of that descrip- ! non. In the years 1843-’44, there were heralded, | in front of the dwelling-houses of a portion of our naturalized population who professed a religion ! entitled in this land to equal toleration with anv other, placards and banners, and paraded through j the streets which they inhabited with every species 1 of public demonstrations insulting to their reli- j gious creed. Mobs, composed of such outlaws as j 1 have described, paraded, as is usual, through ! certain suburbs of the citv, side by side with those i : who thus tauntingly displayed these insulting in sigmas. As soon as a few poor humble natural- ; 1 ized citizens were goaded into natural expressions of resentment at these unprovoked results, then, I • sir, began u work of which [ will only mention the ' results. The results will suffice. These results were the burning of dwelling-houses, every one of which was inhabited by naturalized citizens and Catholics. Mr. Whitney—Let us ask the gentleman a ques tion. " , i Mr. Cadwalader -In n moment. 1 say, and 1 repeat it, that they burned dweliing-h'ouses of poor, unoffending citizens, not one of them a na- i ' tive-born, and n>t one of them a Protestant. I t did not cease here. What followed ? Churches were next destroyed, and their ruins smoked in the city for days. The churches were those of our fellow citizens who professed the Catholic religion. What was the consequence? This party, which thus,for I | a season, attemptsl an open organization, dwindled ; while it was thus an open organization into a mis erable, pitiful remnant of faction. Disgraced and deserted, it shrank from the light and disappeared. : When, and how, did it reappear? It appeared as- 1 ter some years as a secret organization. And why? Because its professors had the sagacity to per- ’ ceive, or bad I -timed from experience, that, when ever they openly disclosed their principles, every man of education and of liberal aud enlightened patriotism would shrink, as the members of their party on this floor now shrink, from some of the . propositions which had been inculcated in their secret conventicles. 1 say it in honor of the gen tleman who, on reflection, do so. Here we find one member disclaiming that portion ; an other member this portion ; and a third member another portion of what this so-called American party had primarily proclaimed as their distinctive principles. Mr. Walker l have not sought the floor, Mr. ! Clerk, for the purpose of participating in this dis cussion, or with » view if attempting anything like a defence of the principles of the American partv, which have this day been assailed. It is my intention, at an appropriate Season, and when by the rules of the House [ may have time ample enough to enable me to do the subject justice, to avail myself of such an occasion for that purpose. But 1 rise now, sir, for a different object. The de bate to which wc have listened this morning has, as has been very apparent, afforded great pleasure and amusement to one side of the House; and whenever the family quarrel, if I may call it so, amongst the members of the so-called American party, became warmer and warmer, arid whenever the Clerk's hammer fell, why, sir, cries were heard from the so-called Democratic portion of this House of “let the gentleman go on.” They enjoyed this species of what they doubtless considered mutual slaughter. Now, sir, I have no objection to some merriment and amusement, even if itbeat the expense of those who claim to belong to the American party; but 1 am unwilling that all the amusement shall be upon one side of the House. While the debate lias tended to show that there is not entire unity and harmony iu the American party, and while that disclosure here has provoked merriment on tin part of my Democratic friends, I beg to call their attention to an authoritative declaration as to the condition of their own party, anil see whether or not there is the most commendable harmony in their own ranks. Sir, I read front no ephemeral newspaper of the day ; I read from a speech de livered by one of their most distinguished and , eloquent members -a gentleman now occupying a seat upon this floor, and who distinguished liim | seif as a member during the. last Congress, and j especially in reference to the Kansas-Nebraska ; bill. Here, sir, is what he has but very lately said, ! with regard to the Democratic party. [Loud cries jof “his name!”] I will give his name presently. He is in mv eye, and within the sound of my voice. He is an entirely orthodox State-rights Democrat. After speaking upon the general topics of the day, the condition of parties, the fragments into , which they had, under the force and stress of ! circumstances, been resolved in all sections of the country, he came down to speak of the then and the present, condition of the Democratic party, and fiere is What he save : “ How fares it now with tho Democratic party ? Its banners nt ill glance in the sun, ami its legions still rally at their chieftains’ biddings. But what ; inscriptions are on the banners? and what cries resound over the field? Vre not the Softs the Democratic party in New Y’ork? And have they not upon their tiag the NVilmot proviso, in the shape of ‘ uncompromising hostility to the exten sion of the slave territory ? Did not Bigler, in his canvass for Governor of Pennsylvania, carry a ban ner with I roe-soil on one side and Conservatism on tho other* Did not the party in all the New England States skulk from the. slavery question? Is the picture any brighter in ihc northwest? Where, in all that region, save Illinois, have the Constitutional rights of the. South l>--en upheld? How stand* the party even upon the Nebraska bill? “In the free States it is maintained upon the ground of squatter sovereignty, and alien suf frage, and northern facilities for colonization. Can the South uphold it upon these grounds ? Wh > here will iml iso the monstrous doctrine of squatter sovereignty, born of political cowardice and selfish ambition ? Where, then, is the unity of the Democratic party ? It differs in the defense even of the fundamental measures.” This is the language employed by my honorable fri-nd from South Carolina ]Mr. Keitt in a speech lately delivered at Barnwell Court House, in the State of South Carolina. [Much merriment. 1 Now, ■ what a spectacle is here presented* Some days ago, my distinguished friend from Kentucky, [Mr. 1 Cox,' in an able effort upon this floor, for tiie pur ■ pose of showing how much dissension and differ ence of opinion there is in the Democratic party, > ’ thought proper vo call to il‘.« stand M witnesses oer- • , tain gentlemen ranged and fighting under a hostile j banner, in order to show what had been the course ’ ■ °f the Democrats in the free States upou the Kan -1 sas-Nebraska bill. Shortly afterwards, the distin ■ guished gentleman from Georgia, Mr. Cobb, in a : ; spirit of rebuke, expressed his surprise aud aston - ! ishment that any man coming from the Southern States should, for the purpose even of exposing the weakness and division of an adverse party, resort to such testimony. Now. sir, Ido not do that upon this occasion. Igo to their own household, and take as my witness one of their best, tlieir ablest, and most reliable members. Now I did not rise for the purpose of making a speech. I had no idea that this discussion would ! have sprung up in this Hall this morning. I have ■ heard, coming from the Americans, much said ! about Americanism, which 1 cannot but fee! is ut : terly abhorrent to my sense of right and justice, j Rut, sir, I could not well keep silence when f saw the repast which my Democratic friends seemed to be enjoying, in witnessing what thev considered a family quarrel in the American partv. They may ; take the testimony of the gentleman from South j ’ Carolina, (Mr. Keitti as to their own condition, i ; and 1 think the laugh will be upon the other side. I promised to renew the motion to lay the reso- I ; lution upon the table, and I now make that tno ! tion. The question was put upon the motion to lav the resolution upon the table, and the Clerk declared that it was decided in the affirmative. Mr. Bocock—l have not arisen, Mr. Clerk, at : the present time, to enter into a discussion on the resolution submitted bv my friend from Penn- ; sylvania, Mr. Florence;] neither have 1 arisen : for the purpose of taking pan in the discussion of the principles of the great American party, ; which has cut so distinguished a figure here this morning, 1 have arisen for an entirely different purpose. The honorable gentleman from Ala- j bama, Mr. Walker,] appearing not to enjoy quite so much as we did on this side of the House the amusement which was produced by i the manifest harmony and concord of the great | American family, arose for the purpose-—as he de- 1 dared—of showing that the Democratic party i • were scarcely more harmonious. And lie did sue- I ! ceed in showing that a little laugh could he pro- ! ; duced at the expense of this side of the House. How, air, did the gentleman do that? He under i took to establish our want of harmony and uni- ! ! fortuity of faith and doctrines, by citing the au- ! : thoritv of my honorable friend from South Caroli- ] ] na, [ Sir. Keitt j. And, sir, 1 think—to give the au- ! j thoritv the more point and the more force—he ! j claimed that that honorable and distinguished gen- j I tlenian is a member of the Democratic party, and a ; leading member of that party. Sir, no man re- | spects more than 1 do the talents and merits of the j honorable member from South Carolina, but. I take ] it upon myself to say—and he will not contradict i the assertion which 1 make—that he is not claimed ' by the Democratic party as a member; nor does i ; he claim, himself, to be a member of that or- 1 I ganization. He agrees with many of our princi ples. He sides with us on many of the important issues. But vet he does not claim to be a mem ber of the Democratic party ; and I believe that when he made that very speech referred to by the gentleman from Alabama, [Mr. Walker,] lie'was persuading his fellow-citizens of South Carolina not to send delegates to the Democratic conven tion at Cincinnati. But, sir, as the gentleman from Alabama has un- | dertaken to produce authority, and has made the ( condition of the Democratic party a question of ! authority, I rise for the purpose of introducing some on our part to counterbalance that which he has introduced. I shall not cite the authority of any man with whom the gentleman from Alabama is not acquainted, nor shall I take authority about the validity of which the gentleman may raise any question. I refer, sir, to the distinguished member from the Mobile district of the State of Alabama Mr. Walker himself. Do we not all know that he rose on this floor in tho earl .- part of the ses sion, and in a very patriotic speech said, that the conservative men of this House ought to unite for the purpose of organizing it; and to show his ap- i predation of the soundness of the Democratic par- j tv here, he invited them to meet the National j Americans, and other conservative men of this body, in friendiy consultation? He was willing to j unite with ns in copsultation and to co-operate with j us. What was that but an indorsement of the con- : servativo position of the Democratic party in this j House? Ay, sir, the honorable gentleman, when ! ho comes to serious work, cannot help recollecting , the old paths in which he lately found safety, the j old party on which he lately relied, and the old ! doctrines which he. a short time ago, revered, i Yes, sir, though his new love in the beginning may > have been strong, and though he is siill fighting • under another name and a new flag, yet he cannot j < help turning occasionally back xn memory to the j time when lie was working earnestly, faithfully and J effectively with the Democratic party, and he can- , not retrain from occasionally rendering them the j tribute of his admiration for their sound and con- ; : servative faith and position. i , Wr. Walker- -Will the gentleman Mr. Bocock—The gentleman will excuse me ; 1 i shall be through in a minute. .Mr. Walker—l do not ask the gentleman to i ; yield. I only hope the House will allow me to re- ; , plv when he gets through ; that is all. Mr. Bocock—Now, Mr. Clerk, one word more. \ ' The gentleman from Alabama j Mr. Walker] refer- j red also to the speech recentlv made upon this ] i floor by my friend from Kentucky Mr. Cox over ! . the wav, who is now in my eye. That gentleman j did und duke, the other day, in the course of his 1 remarks, to call fourth the testimony of gentlemen ! 1 on the other side of the House, bitterly opposed in i 1 polities both to him and mvself, to prove unsound- , ness and want of harmony in the Democratic par- ! tv. Y'et in that very speech, in a candid moment, j the gentleman himself Mr. Cox] admitted that the Democratic party were sound and conservative, and only asked that we should make the same ad- ! mission for him and his party. Mr. Cnx -Will the gentleman allow me to ex- . 1 plain? 1 : Mr. Bocock -! have hut a word more. I say, that having the admission or declaration of the ! gentleman from Malinina, and of the gentleman ; from Kentucky, both of them acting in antagonism . to the Democratic party, as to the soundness and , conservatism of that party, may we not claim to j offset them against the contrary' statement of my | friend from South Carolina. Mr. Keitt,] who does ; not belong to our organization? The question as j to the relative weight of iheso authorities 1 can ] safely leave to the honorable gentleman from Ala- j bama. rrsrr•z-ta..mxwfcanr.v*.-.Ava.uwa'.tn<--dv»-z,/urruirv.-,tr-?>-m 31 V KIM 111), At ViiH'ville, on the Dth instant, Mr. Euukt 11.

The demand for infe- ! | rior grades has been limited, and holders have j found great difficulty in effecting sales, unless at j prices which would ensure buyers from loss in j shipping to consuming ports. Even if the recent | storms, which so completely interrupted communi j cation with the North and our own sea ports, and i measurably suspended business operations, had not | occurred, prices would not have ruled higher here, i The prices paid have not justified shipments. The following are as near the correct quotations of the j market, as we are able to offer : Inferior to ordina jry and stained 7 to 7%; good ordinary 8 ; low to j i strict middling Sjf to ; good middling 8%; ; I middling fair 9 ; fair to fine to 9}/ cts. There | j is hut little offering which will command our high- j | est quotations. Bl SINESS GENERALLY.—The bright and i I gonial sunshine has succeeded the rain, and sleet i ! and snow, and business has assumed a cheerful j ■ aspect. Trade of all kind feels the invigorating ! i influence of the pleasant weather, and merchant j and planter, matron and belle, artisan and laborer, j are all in motion, buying and selling, and infusing ! gladness and prosperity into every department of life. Our railroads and steam boats are coming j and going with their ponderous loads of animated i life and merchantable commodities—and, in tine, everything is tilting ahead with regulated motion, pleasing satisfaction and a profitable certain!v. COFFEE.—This article is firm at our quotations, sav from 12, 12L>, and 13 cents for common, fair and prime. Coffee is selling lower in this market at this time, than it can be bought elsewhere and I brought here and offered. SUGARS.—The stock of Refined Sugars is ! good, and selling by the quantity at lO IOC; | and 11 cents for Stuart’s A B and 0. Crushed and j Powdered 11 to U 8). Loaf 111;) to 12. Brown j from 9 to 12 cents as to quality. SALT. —The supply is large and on the increase, ; with several large shipments to arrive. \Ve bear j of sales at $1.15 to *1.20 for lots of not less than I 1000 sacks, at the river. It is selling from stores from sl*3s to *1.50. MOLASSES. —The stock on hand is still limited, ; and prices are consequently full. We quote New j Orleans 50 to 55, and Cuba 43 to 50. RICE—Is selling from to 5% cents IRON AND NAILS. —We quote for common j Sweed, 1 to 4 1 ,' inches, a: s}j, to ,V)j ; wide, 5% i to G)j . Nails, 4’< to 5, for from 4to <sd., and for 3d., 5% to 6 eents. BAGGING AND ROPE. -The demand for both j these articles is nearly over for this season. The j stock of the former i> rather light, and we quote j from 15jc to 16 cents. The supply of Rope is un- I usually large, and the greater portion will have to ' be held over for the next season. We quote 9to 11 I cents as 1o quality. WHISKY. This article is held at 50 to 55 cts., > but, in large lots, lower figures would be submit ted to. BEEVES AND HOGS. The demand for good I fat cattle is very active, and we have heard of sales ! at 8 cents. The market is almost exhausted, and ! now while prices are favorable, stock raisers should i bring forward their beeves. Shouts are selling 1 from h to \< cents, with a good demand. CORN.—This article is dull for any price over j 65 cents, sacks included. We heard of some few < sales, in small lots, nt 07 and 70 cents, but it would | be difficult to sell a large lot at over 05. PEAS Are rather scarce, and are sellinS from j *t» to 90 cents. It. is difficult to obtain the latter 1 price.
