A man named Joseph Davis, living near

suicide on yesterday. We understand he

which failed to explode, when lie attempt

his success was only partial—resulting on

The New York Herald' says that no
changes have been made in the arrange
ments of the Associated Press, save the
dismissal of 1). H. Craig, and the appoint
ment of Mr. Siminston, to whom all local
agents throughout the country will send
their reports. We believe the local agents
throughout this part of the country con
tinue to send their reports to Mr. Craig.
How to Hegulatc Prices.
A New York lady writes the 'J’imesof that
city, to complain of the high price of bon
nets. Her remedy might he applied in any
latitude. She says : One day last week
1 went into a loading rnilinery on Sixth
Avenne, for the purpose of purchasing a
bonnet. 1 saw only one which suited my
taste—a plain black silk, trimmed only
without beads, and the price was sls. I
did not take the bonnet, but went to work
and made one exactly like it, at a cost of
$4 61.
Pasting and Prayer.
It will be seen from our Legislative re
ports, that the House has adopted a resolu
tion sotting apart Friday, 22d inst., as a day
o£Pa*ting and Prayer. It will be borne in
mind that the (‘resident has appointed
Thursday, 29th, for a National Thanks
giving. It cannot bo doubted that fasting
and prayer are eminently suited to the
condition of the people of our State, and !
while we have much occasion for gratitude j
to the arbiter of our destiny, there is more j
pi our national affairs to call also for fast- '
ingiirid prayer than for thanksgiving.
Medical College of Georgia.
The commencement exercises of this
vcleran institution were held yesterday at ‘
the Medical College, the introductory ad
dr.-ss having bom delivered by Professor
Jiains. The audience, comprising a full
quota of medical students and a very re
spectable number of ladies arid citizens,
was not disappointed, for the well-known
scientific attainments of the speaker afford
ed a good guarantee of an interesting anil
instructive lecture, it was replete with
sound advice to the former, who, doubtless,
regard it as the precursor of a highly in
structive course upon Chemistry and Medi
cal Philosophy.
The relations of medicine to the natural
sciences are so intimate and a knowledge
of them so essential to a complete medical
education, that special prominence must
be given them in every school, and, In this
particular, we fully believe that the course
now inaugurated by the present Professor
of Chemistry will far surpass any hereto*
de live red. The Faculty certainly made
n wise selection and gained a great acqui
sition of talent, industry, and lecturing
ability in Prof Kains.
The numerous friends ofthis College will
b" gratified to learn that its prospects were
never brighter, and that the patronage of
tins session is likely to very large for the
times.
We would respectfully direct the atten
tion of physicians, and particularly of
medical students, to the superior clinical
advantages to be had now at this College.
More extensive than in the past, they are
also equal, if not superior, to those of any
Southern institution similarly located,
lie ides the City Hospital, the Faculty
have access to the large government hospi
tal for the freedmen. This affords abun
dant mail rial, having an average of about
eighty patients, and furnishing such dis
eases as are incident to the season and sec
tion.
We would notforgot to mention, that this
great clinical resource lias been obtalnod>
through the conl-tesy and generous consid
eration of the U. N. oflicers on duty in this
department. The Faculty in return have
tendered the use of their anatomical rooms
and other facilities to llio medical officers

Crops in Southern Georgia.
The liainhridgo Aryan says: “The
heavy frost on last Thursday morning,
throughout this .section—much heavier in
suiiie loealilies than in others—concludes
the interesting subject of the crops for the
present season.
Our planters find that tlio September
rams did no: injure the cotton as seriously
as was foaiv.i they would; nor have the
eatterpillar and rust done very great dam
age. The col ton crop of llecatur, and in
adjoining counties, will be considerably
more than half an average one. Some
think it, will reach two-thirds of the yield
of is it. A gentleman from Miller esti
mates : lie cotton crop of that county at a
lull a- erage crop, lie says corn is plenti
ful there and is selling at $1.25 per bushel.
The corn crop of this county is sorry, hut
we think it sufficient to supply the de
mands of our people. .Some of our planters
never made a better corn crop than they
did this year, hut their number is small.
M any have not made half as much as they
usually do.
We are pleased to know that peas, pota
toes and sugar cane wore never better;
nor do we suppose a greater breadth of
land lias ever been planted in these im
portant products than has been planted
tins year. The late rains were of great
service in promoting these crops, and
hence, are not much deplored.
The Albany Patriot, 8d insl, says :
“Tiie planters are now beginning to
bring their now crop of cotton to market
and the staple looks beautiful. From in
formation derived from all sources, we are
led to believe there will not be a halfu crop
made throughout this section. In view
that this is the heart of the cotton re
gion of Georgia we are willing to,
place the amount of the present crop,
to bo received at this point at 16,000
bales, and we think this is a safe and rea
sonable calculation. In 1860 tho receipts
to March 7, were 85,9"d•bales.

Monday, Nov. 5.
Dear Chronicle: —The closing public
scene of tbe week was the
i REPUBLICAN RATIFICATION MEETING.
The weather was not propitious. Rea ;h
--1 ing the City Hall Park at an early hour,
your correspondent had a fair opportunity
j of seeing the meeting in its forming Mate.
I It was quite evident that there was a
strong feeling even among Republicans
I against General Butler, who had been an
: nounced in the morning papers as the
: principal speaker, while the Democrats
| were unsparing in their denunciations,
I heightened by all possible expletives. “Luck
at the spalpeen, the dirty spoon-stealing
thafe—luck at him !’ ’ were the first words
that greeted my car as I approached the
| stand, and they were uttered in as ‘‘rich
| an Irish brogue'’ a the refined cur of‘the
j late Lieut. Gen. Scott could have desired.
| Shifting my position, for the nonce, in a
j company with a very Islamite in Rcpubii
j can faith, who said : “I told them it was
: a mistake to ask that miserable creature
here. I was startled by: “Hurrah for
Butler - ’ —“three groans tor Butler
“spoons”—“get out” —“go home” —
“spoons—spoons”—“put him out’ ’ —' how
are you, Cockeye?” These, and other ex- ;
pressions, with hisses and groans, com
pletely drowned the cheers, as well as all j
that was said by the speaker.
Such was the reception. For a loDg :
time the speaker stood quietly; but there
was no abatement of noise, cries, groans, j
Ac. At length he commenced ; but it was j
impossible to hear and '
very frequently utterly impossible to catch j
the eourd of his voice. Shortly iiefore the i
close ofthis scene, three cheers of consider- j
able volume emanated from those around the j
stand. Immediately the turbulence increased I
and there was a surging movement of the ’
mass towards the stand, with loud threats
and curses, accompanied by violent ges- j
tures, and yells and cries of all sorts. — j
Turning to a well-dressed man, standing |
near, I inquired the cause of this increase I
in excitement. He said, laughingly, “lie
has told them that he (Butler) had hung !
better men than they were, in Baltimore i
and New Orleans, and might have a ;
chance at them yet.” “And,” lie eon- ,
tinued, “it would be no had idea to form
a ring upon the Kilkenny principle, for
both Butler and Joe, with their followers. ;
I think we should have peace and quiet |
then.” At the close of the address, so
called, there was a feeble attempt to cheer i
the orator of the evening, but an outburst;
of hooting, yelling, groans, with every ;
species of noise conceivable, overwhelmned
it so that the applause was scarcely audi
ble. The next speaker introduced was
HORACE C REEFY.
The quiet, orderly and attentive de
meanor of the crowd, while this gentleman ;
was speaking, was in strong contrast with
the previous scenes. It was wonderful,
indeed, to see the same men so quiet, so
orderly and respectful. It was not long,
however, before the numbers moving off
disclosed the iaet that the main point of
interest had passed, and that the meeting
was being dissolved.
There is some talk of another
FEN IA N MOVE.M ENT
on Canada ; and there have been some re
ports by telegraph of another alarm in
Canada West. But little importance is
attached to them Imre. It is even whis
pered that these little alarms are gotten up
to prevent the home government from re- !
laxing their interest in provincial affairs.
Great Britain has now, it is said, twenty
thousand regular troops in the.Canadas.
The disbursements growing out of the
maintenance of this force, form an item
of no inconsiderable importance to provin
cial trade. In addition to this, the “Home
Government” is expending large sums ini
fortifying Quebec, Ottawa, and other j
points. A redan of about six miles long,
covered by the bastioned forts, i:: being j
constructed at Point Levi, opposite Que
bec. The earth-work which forms the
face of those forts, is sixty ieet in width.
This example will. furnish your readers
some idea of “tho defences” in the course
of preparation, and off tho magnitude of
the disbursement. “A little scare,” now
and then, is rather relished by tho Kanucks.
as for the benefit of trade. There is, how
ever, a restless, uneasy feeling among the
“loyal Canadians,” growing more out of
the fact that there are some twenty-seven
thousand men in Canada West, and forty
four thousand in Canada East, who served
their apprenticesnip in the art of war as
part and parcel of the United States army,
during the past six years. This makes

COTTON.
The recent advance in Liverpool, predic
ted upon an advance in the East India
market without having much effect upon
this market, lias produced considerable
discussion. The marked improvement in
the staple of India cotton, together with
the increased production both in India and
Egypt, suggest the probability that the con
trol of the surplus cotton of the world, has
passed from the United States, and will
remain for a very long time to come with 1
Great Britain. The estimates of the Egyp- !
tian and India crops, now form the basis
for cotton operations, where formerly the j
American crop was only considered. The !
circular of the Liverpool Cotton Broker’s
Association, of the 11th of October, con ;
tains the following significant passages:
“The cotton market was dull on Friday, j
but became firmer on Saturday, and has |
since been active at gradually hardening |
prices, owing to the advices from Bombay \
of higher rates, and notwithstanding lower
quotations from Xue York, the tank closes
firmly , with an advance iu most deserip- .
tions. The tonnage of the United States
i increased pari passu, with the increased
production of cotton. "Will it retrograde
! in like proportion ?
MONEY
! continues easy and abundant, while there
has been an actual advance in gold, the
! opinion is held generally that the large
amount of sterling exchange that will arise !
from the shipment of cotton, will constrain
a tendency downward, until at least the Ist
of March. M.

The Mexican Minister, Romero, on
Tuesday, received the following letter, by
way of New Orleans, dated Vera Cruz,
Oct. 26, 1866:
" Maximilian left the City of Mexico "on
the 28dinst., resigning verbally in favor of
Gen. Bazaine. Gen. Bazaine endeavored
to persuade him to delay his departure
until Gen. Castehiaus arrival two days
later: but he declined, and. escorted fey
v.ty Austrians, proceeded to Orizaba, by
cross-roads, to avoid meeting with Gen.
Castelnau. He reached Orizaba yesterday,
and is expected here to-morrow. The
Captain of the Austrian frigate. Daduota.
states that as soon as Maximilian arrives
he will at once leave for Europe. It is
said that Maximilian will publish to-day a
manifesto at Orizaba. Gen. Castelnau
reached the Cuy of Mexico soon after
Maximilian left, and took possession of
the palace and assumed the "reins” ot
government. The French soldiers who
had entered under Maximilian’s colors will
be returned to France under Gen. Castel
uau’s influence, Gen. Porfirio l*iaz has
captured the City of Oazaca. taking all the
artillery, ammunition, men and supplies.”
Two women killed a wolf the other day
in Bates county. Missouri. The wolf had
been catching chickens, and on being dis

hind leg by one of the women and held
fast, while the other woman went to the
other side of the fence and beat the wolf to
death with a club.
Tbe Technicbal Terms or the Stock Ex
change.
Tu the uninitiated, some of the terms
used on the stock exchange would appear
j little better than echoes from Babel.
"Bulls” and “bears,” “consols" and
I “scrip,” “contango" and “backwarda
tions,” “options” and “omniums." and a
[ ho.-t of others, would strike Lis ear, either
j conveying no meaning at all, or one ludic
rously different from that intended to be
i conveyed. -Vs many, however, are inter
; c.-ted in knowing what the like means, it
, will scarcely he considered out of our prov
! into if we can endeavor to enlighten them.-
“Consols” is an abbreviation of the term
consolidated annuities, which date their
origin from the year 1751, and bear at the
present time 3 per cent, interest, “fierip”
is analogously a contraction of “subscrip
tion," and is applied to the stocks given in
1 exchange Ihr a loan, a re iuced scrip, con
sol N-r:p, Ac. “Omnium ’is the term by
wliieh the whole of the stock of which a
Government! jau consists is designated. A
“1 ill” i ■ one who : lys in the ex]
j Gun of being abie to soil again at a higher
; price, and a “bear” is. conversely, one who
| sells in the hope of bringing down prices,
ijgnd of the delivering what he has sold by i
purchases made at cheaper rate —in other
words, the bull speculates for a rise and;
i the bear for a fall. A “stag,” or, as he is
I sometimes called an outsider, i.s one who
’is not a member of the Stock Exchange,
: but deals outside, and traffics in letter of
! allotment obtained under fictitious names
“Contango” expresses the amount paid j
per share or per cent, which a buyer pays
to a seller for carrying overthe shares from
one account to another, t <-., tor a period •
longer than they were originally bought for.
“Backwaraization ’Jexpresses the converse,
i e. . the sum which a seller pays for not j
being obliged to deliver the shares at the !
time before agreed upon, but carry them j
over to the following account. In English ;
and foreign stocks and shares, the settling j
days are twice in every month, the middle j
and the end ; and the eousols only once,
from about the 6th to the 11th.
“Options” are resorted to in nearly eve
: ry kind of shares, and might be used in
! a!!. They consist in either what is called a
' “put and call” or a “put” or “call.” A
! “put and call” is when a person
i agrees to give a certain sum for the choice
of buying or selling a certain amount of
stock at a certain time, the price and date
being there and then fixed- A “put” is
where the money is given tor the option of
the only selling stock ; and a “call” where
the party reserves to himself the right of
i buying, price and date being in both cases
! agreed upon, and the “option” money’
i paid at the time of the agreement. If. at the
I expiration of the- “option” time, the
| price be the same as the “option” price,
i the person who has paid the money has
j the right to buy, sell, or neither, as he
! thinks proper.
There are various other terms, but their
importance is secondary. A glance, liow
: ever, at those wc have given, will at once
: show the spirit which too largely pervades
; stock exchange business, viz : gambling.
: The “bull” buys and the “bear” sells; if
the price of the shares in which both arc
dealing, rises, the “bull” is not only so
much in pocket, but the “bear” is obliged
to buy to meet his engagements, and there
by to augment the price against himself
and the whole of his brother “bears” at
the same time. In the same way the ba
sis of the whole proceedings in which “put
and call,” and “put” or “call” are brought
into operation, is altogether one of gam
bling. The chances, mixed with what ap
pears probability, of a rise or bill within a
given time, arc taken, and on these the
parties speculate. If both are satisfied to
continue the _ game, “contango” and
“backwardation” come into play, and
enable them to do so without increasing
the trouble of commencing the transactions
afresh.”
But let it not be supposed that the mem
bers of the Stock Exchange are in all or
even the majority of cases the principals in
such bargains ; on the contrary, it is the
outside public, and how often some of
these come to grief the records of bank
ruptcy show, The brokers and jobbers are
mere intermediaries between one section of
speculators and another, and are certainly
as little, if not less, to be blamed than
those who employed them. Still the evil
of speculation, like all other evils, has its
attendant good. It is at the present time
all but essential to the floating of any un
dertaking, however excellent. It is a pity
that it should be so, but if bona tide in
vestors will not embark in any scheme
whose shares do not carry a premium,
someone who knows the concern must
manufacture the premium for them.

FROM MILLEDGEYIMiE.
I Milledgeville, November B.—The
I Senate passed the bill forbidding the distil
j lation of cereals.
| The House passed the bill validating ap
prenticeship contracts made under the
auspices of the Freedman’s Bureau.
The House rejected the bill authorizing
the redemption of State Road change bills.
The Committee on the Constitutional
I Amendment will report to-morrow. The
t Report argues at length against the amend
] ment, and advocates its rejection.
Rejection of the Constitutional Amend
ment.
Milledgeville, November 9.—The
Legislature rejected the Constitutional
Amendment this day at one o’clock. The
rejecting resolution reads as follows :
Resolved, That the Legislature of Geor
gia declines to ratify the Constitutional
Amendment adding a fourteenth section
to the Constitution of tho United States. •
A motion ivas made in the Senate post
poning its consideration to some future
day, but was amended to the mere adop
tion of tho above resolution, and this
passed—yeas, 36; nays, none—the full
Senate voting.
In the House the vote stood yeas 131,
nays 2—Ellington, of Gilmer, and Hum
phrey’s, of Fannin.
i The Committee on reporting this resolu
| tion accompany the report with a lengthy
| argument, the substance of which is as fol
lows:
| First. That tho States of the United
: States alone are authorized to consider
! Constitutional Amendments,
j Second, That such amendments must be
| proposed by two-thirds of Congress
\ or tho Legislatures of two-thirds of the
i States.
Third, That Georgia was one of the
i original States, and must always have con
tinued such unless she reserved the right to
secede or gave the right to the Federal
Government to eject her.
The report adduces the legislation of
Congress, the proclamations of the Presi
dent, and the issues made during the war
by the Government of the United States
to prove that it was held by that Govern
ment that no State could secede, and the
war only interrupted the practical rela
tions of the States thereto ; and the sup
pression of tho rebellion was to restore
these relations fully, and the Constitution
then became the supreme law of the land.
The argument then goes on to declare
that Georgia and the other Southern States
are integral parts of Congress, and that no
Constitutional Congress can be convened
while such integral portions are forcibly ex
cluded.
It says the adoption of the Emancipation
amendment is no precedent for tbc adop
tion of this.
The Southern States, during that time,
had no delegations to be received into Con
gress as now, when they are denied admit
tance; and then concludes by saying that
as the amendment in question was not
proposed by two-thirds of a Constitutional
Congress, the Committee recommended
the adoption of the resolution above given.
The balance of the proceedings are unim
pertant.
Milledgevii-le, November 10.—The
proceedings of the Legislature to-day are

bills being up.

Two Tragedy Queens.
RACHEL AND RISTORI CONTRASTED.
On the 3d of September, 1855, a queen
of art appeared among us. Few who were
present at the new Winter Garden Theatre
on that night can forget the enthusiasm of
shout and flowers which greeted Rachel as
she advanced in the Homan robe of Ca
mille, full of dignity, yet of grace, with that
peculiar plastic beauty which belonged to
her, and her alone, preserving, amid the
tumult of welcome, a classic attitude, so
full of calm dignity that you might range
the galleries of art and not find a statute
to surpass her in severity or in symmetry.
A few weeks and she left our shores, weary,
wan and wasted, to lay her bleeding heart
at the foot of the statue of another queen
of art, whom France had lifted up and
worshipped.
Eleven years have elapsed, and on the
20th of September, 1866, that rival queen
appears among us. Many distinguished
in every branch of art, who were present
on the 3d of September, 1855, to welcome
Rachel, were present on the 20th instant
to greet Ristori. She, too, has achieved a
triumph.
Rachel was singularly devoid of moral
beauty. Ristori’s.nature abounds with it.
The impression produced by it cannot be
described —it must be felt; and where it is
not felt it does not exist. In Rachel we
felt nothing of a moral beauty. Even her
physique proclaimed a purely sensuous or
ganization—a sensuous organization senti
neled, it is true, by a compact and masterly
intellect, as her remarkable and eloquent
brow denoted, but not escorted by those
higher faculties of heart and soul which
manifest themselves in the generous aud
spirited fullness of Ristori’s face, the gentle
and soft expression of her eyes, the chaste
and subdued expression of the mouth,
without which the highest intellect loses its
grace, the most soaring genius its humani
ty. Rachel's eyes glimmered and sparkled
according to the torch of sensation she
chose to light up to suit the occasion ; but
they failed to convey that illumination of
the soul which shines out with such _ beau
teous radiance in Ristori’s, which in its sin
cere and chaste fealty to truth and prin
ciple might be less scintillating with little
jewels of sensation, but is more deeply im
pregnated with a high moral tone. Then,
Rachel’s mouth was a very crater of sensu
ality, and thence came her terrible power
in portraying carnal passions. Her cheeks
were not’generously full or her nose high
spirited and looking upward like llistori’s.
The cheeks were cold and thin, and the
downward bend of her nose gave a low ex
pression to the features.
For one gentle word we remember in her
whole stage vocabulary, we retain a thou
sand of anger, fierceness and rage. To
create a sensation by the manifestations ot
generous feelings, an immense moral power
is requisite, which Rachel had not; while
the furor created by fierce emotions would
not be possible without the predominance
of the mal nature which Rachel had.
While we may admire, then, those sub
lime legerdemains of artistic skill which
enabled Rachel to assume so many admir
able phases of look, attitude and expres
sion, we cannot place her, as a tragedienne,
upon the same high platform as Ristori.
Rachel was like the sculptor who uses
clay and marble for any statue the designer
may desire, and threw the clay and marble
of her intellect round any sensation the
stage might require. We are fascinated
by the beauty of the clay and the glow of
the marble; but we draw no inspire tion.
There is only clay anti marble, and no touch
of the woman’s soul. In Ristori we draw
any amount of inspiration from the
rich Italian she throws into her action.
There is so much of soul that there may be
less of clay and marble.
There is more of the tragedienne and
less of the artiste. The execution may he
less elaborate, the finish less perfect, even
the impression less fascinating and the in
fluence less intoxicating, but the effect is
more lasting; and long after the brain
statues have left our mind the soul struc
tures of Ristori will find there a home and
habitation. Rachel might give a pose
plastique, for instance, of one of Shaks
pcarc's women, but Ristori could make us
feel her presence.
Let us hope, as we have mentioned
Shakspeare, that Ristori will give us her
splendid picture of Lady Macbeth. Her
sleeping scene in Lady Macbeth is said to
be beyond anything seen or imagined, and
to keep half of those who see it awake the
whole night. Nothing whatever of the
tragedy queen in it —none of the Siddons
traditions or the melodramatic clap-trap of
that ponderous she-Forrest, Charlotte Cush
man. No description can give the faintest
description of the fatuous, vacuous state
of the blinded physical orbs, yet percep
tive mental visions ; the soul speaking out
the eyes, yet the eyes themselves, without
corporeal sight, seeing nothing eternally,
yet reflecting everything within the crater
of the guilt-burning heart. Throughout,
Ristori plays the part with her face. — New
York Citizen.
A Father and 'J*hiee Children Per
ish.—The New Orleans Picayune says:
“On Friday afternoon Mr. Jas. Thomp
son. a laboring man of Oldtown. went in a
boat to a small island on the Milford side
to obtain a load of sand—taking with him
all his children—three boys from four to
ten years of age. lie loaded his boat with
four barrels of sand, which made her so
heavy that in returning he could not man
age her in the quick water below the bridge,
and finding that she was likely to go into
the rapids below, he threw over two of the
barrels, which caused the weight of the
other two to upset the boat. As the boat
went over, Mr. Thompson was seen to
grasp his three children, but the swift cur
rent of rips earned them under and out of
sight. It was a place where the strongest
swimmer must have perished. Their bo
dies had not been recovered when our in
formant left. Mr. T. leaves a wife to mourn
the untimely loss of her husband and chil

REVIEW OF THE AlhlSi.l illllkET,
FOR TUB WEEK ENDING NOV. lOTH, 1866.
{lt should he borne in mind that our
quotations represent wholesale prices. Small
hills, to Planters and others, are Jilted at a
shade higher rates.]
REMARKS.—Business has been fair for
the past week, with only a few changes iu
nv leading articles. Cotton is coining in
quite freely, and commands a price so
satisfactory as to leave no occasion for
withholding it from the market. The
stock of bacon has been increased by heavy
arrivals, and prices are lower. Corn con
tinues scarce and higher, with a prospect of
a still further advance. Flour is scarce
and very stiff. Salt tends upward. In
groceries there are no changes of note, and
our dealers are doing a healthy trade.
The receipts of cotton for the. lirst two
mouths of the current crop year amount to
about 160,000 bales. I. is found from a
comparison of the receipts of several years
that the average amount of the total crop
received during September and October
has been a fraction over 10 cent. Tak
ing this as as a basis, we arrive at 1,600,000
as the crop of the present year. It may be
urged tiiat the delay occasioned by the
clumsy arrangement for collecting tho
revenue has prevented the usual amount
of the crop front coming forward to mar
ket. On the other hand it should bo re
membered that the necessities of raising
money lias forced planters to hurry for
ward their crop as fast as possible. Tho
high price, and the unusually favorable
weather have also, it is believed, contribu
ted to swell tho receipts to a full compara
tive average. There is at least nothing in
the receipts thus far to indicate that the crop
will vary materially from a third of the
average yield, or reach the urgent wants of
tho trade.
THE MARKET.—Wo closed our last re
port on a quiet market at the following
quotations:
Middling 34$
Strict Middling 354
Good Middling 36
Choice lots 364
On Saturday the market was dull and
irregular, and sales of only 69 bales were
reported at the above rates. On Monday
335 bales were sold, the market continuing
dull. On Tuesday 240 bales wepe sold,
buyers and sellers both refusing to yield.
On Wednesday there was more activity in
the market, prices being still irregular, and
596 bales were sold at 04J006t cents. On
Thursday the market was flat, and sales
of 300 bales were reported at about the
rates of tho day previous. On Friday only
145 bales were sold at 34@354 cents, the
market being too dull and irregular to ad
mit of quotations.
Total sales for the week, ending Friday,
November 9, P. M., 1,685 bales.
Postscript —Saturday, P. M.
COTTON.—The market to-day was dull
and still too irregular for quotations.
Sales to-day, 112 bales, as follows: —21 at
33, 5 at 34, 71 at 344 and 15 bales at at 35 Cts.
Receipts, 407 bales.
GOLD.—Brokers are buying at 14S, and
selling at 150. The news from New York
to-day caused a dull feeling in the gold
market.
SILVER. —Brokers are buying at 14%
and selling- at 145.

BAGGING.—The market continues in
good supply and prices are steady at
37i cents. Rope unchanged.

thedemand—Goshen, 45(5)50 cts.; Western
and country, 35 cents.
COTTON GOODS.—These goods continue
in demand and prices are lirm. See quo
tations.
LARD—The market is well supplied,
anddemand only moderate. We have ro
vised quotations, to which we refer.
GRAlN.—Wheat continues very scarce
and in active demand by our millers, as
well as for seed, at s3@4, as to qualit3 r .
CORN. —The supply r has not been equal
to the demand, and prices have advanced
5 to 10 cents on the week, and will pro
bably go higher in a day or two, as it can
not be laid down here from Baltimore at
present prices. We quote prime white
§1 75(6,1 80; yellow, §i 70; mixed, §1 05-
Meal, $1 75.
FLOUR.—The market is almost bare of
Western, and prices are nominal. We

supply the local trade at §ls 50 for super
fine; extra, §17(0,17 50; family and double
extra, §lB 50.
TOBACCO.—There is an active demand
for common and medium grades, at fu i
prices.
SALT.—The market is in fair supply,
and we hear of one or two large sales at
depot at §1 55. Lots from store are gener
ally held at §1 70(5,1 75, and the impression
prevails that without speedy arrivals at the
ports below, where stocks are very small
it will go higher.
For quotations of miscellaneous articles
we refer to our table, which has been care
fully revised.
