The Financial Cl.r ni:lo says the average estimate made by ono hundred and forty-live members of the New \o' k cot ton exbhanga on Monday, is 7,330,000 bales. The Chronicle’s telegraphic reports from the south indicate that in the Atlantic and fill 6tates (he wen'her has in gvn oral been fairly favorable lor Ilie gathering of the crop. In parts of north Texas and of Ten nessee, however, rain has can. e l someinlerruplion topicking. The temperature is lower al the close of the week, ami frost is report ed in districts of Alabama. The Chronicle also save that tFie speculation in cotlnu for future delivery it New York is much less active early in the week under review, with prices Fluctuating within narrow limits Better weather at the south, liberal receipts at the ports, and a dull, weak market at Liver pool, were counterbalanced by a large export movement, which prevented any marked accumu lation of stocks in this country, such as is usually seen ai this stage of the season. On Wednesday Liverpool reversed the course which it had taken for several days, and made a stronger report, etusing here pretty brisk buying to cov er contracts, and an advance o( six to seven points lrom the inside prices early in the week. The higher range of values led fo some pretty free selling for the “bear” account, hut thede maud was sufficient to cause a steady closing. The buying shit ted from ‘the early months, December leading, early in the day to the spring months, with March leading, iaie in the day. Friday the opening was eas ier in response to a dull Liver pool movement, but an improve inent of a few points followed, there being a moderate demand which was not well met t !1 near close at about the best figures of the lay. Colton on the spot met with a fair spinning demand, and prices were well maintained; the close is steady at 10 1 4c. for middling uplands.—[Con stitution.

On being asked the rift-on, lie replied that when lie was leaning over the wall to help Ills dog up iiis purse had fallen out of his coat pocket, and dis appeared under the water. A boy olfered to go in and lind it. “Go!” said the gentleman,* “you shall bo well ra winded.” The boy took a header, dived several times, ami at las', after having aroused the anxiety ol the bystanders hv his long dis appearance, he showed himself, dripping with water, holding in triumph the lost article, which lie brought to its owner; hut be fore giving i t to him, lie stopped and held out thi other hand. r l he gentleman had v couiided to those present that thi r purse contained SSO francs. A mur mur of indignation, therefore, arose when they saw Him take one franc from His pocket and offer it to the lad. He misrht, perhaps, hive accepted it, Had not a bystander called out.* “He oilers you a l’rtnc, I will give you two it you will throw it back into the water again!” The owner of the purse darted forward, but before lie could seize it, the boy had thro vn the purse back into the Seine. “How much will you give now to have it picked up again?” the gentleman was asked. “ Five francs!” “That is not enough. Give fif ty!” After some disputing the bar gain was concluded. The boy dived/town again aud brought back the purse amid the shouts of laughter and cheers of all present.
