Now they hare added a side wheel ferryboat with a cannon on it, and feel safe. The Bt. Lottie Journal says that oats are a first rate thing with which to “ soak the damp ness out of wet hoots ” It is hardly probable that the editor of the Journal tries it regular ly himself, tor to tmppoee that he can afford to waste seventeen bushels of oals every time he gets his boots wet is absurd. — Courier-Journal. The Padncah Kentuckian says that Miss Clarissa Johnston, sister of the Ute General • Albert Sydney Johnston, is quite old and in ' firm, and has been assisted many times in the past few years by the Confederate Belief As * sociation-and the charitable ladies of Padncah. A few days ago she was stricken by paralysis, and is now helpless and speechless, and in The New York Herald estimates a falling off of emigrants at that port for the year at 122,- 000. compared with 1373. Estimating the im mediate average gain to the country of each emigrant at #l5O, the loss to the country in the falling off from 1873 would amount to nearly #20.000,000. This is, of course, exclu sive of the subsequent annual loes of labor and ita value in opening the resources of end building up the country. The Indianapolis Sentinel is quite right in de clining to contribute anything to the proposed monument to William Penn. We wouldn’t mind giving him a good editorial notice and sending him a marked copy of the paper, but when it comes to building monuments for him, wo want him to labor under the impres sion that we have gone with a load of lightning rods to the Fiji Islands, and won't be back un til the structure is completed and paid for.— Courier-Journal. Preparations are already being made for the inauguration of Governor Tilden, of N*w York, and the occasion promises to be a memorable event in the history of the Empire State. General Woodhull has tendered the services of the Ninth Brigade as an escort, and Major Macfarlane, of the Jackson Corps, and Capt. Vosburgh, of the Burgess Corps, have also tendered their commands for like service; and the full strength of the military named will parade on the occasion. The Ninth Brig ade consists of the Tenth and Twenty-fifth Begiments, a sqeadron of cavalry and the bat tery of artillery. It is to be in no sense a par tisan display, but a voluntary demonstrati n of respect on the part of the citizens of Albany and adjacent country. In a Jefferson avenue car, the other day. was a long-legge I stranger from St. C air river, and he astonished passengers by the way he de voured apples. A big Bhode Island greening made only Your mouthfuls, and he didn't stop to peel thorn. At last, while chewing up a mouthful, a piece h dged in his throat, and there was an explosion. A handful of chewed apple went fiyiDg across the car at the pas sengers. and the stranger jumped a foot high and bis face turned the color of red paint. “ I can whip you in Just two minutes !" aheuted one of the passengers, as he wiped his face. 1 • I know you oan, mister," replied thestranger, “ but don’t doit ; I’m going to get right out, and foot it the rest of the way !”—TJHroil Free Free*. We shall begin the worship of Daniel Web ster ibis morning by reading from the New York Mail, first column, second pago: ‘‘After all the smoko of the great battle for human rights in which Mr. Bnmner bore himself so aggressively shall have passed away, the mas sive proportions of Webster will be revealed to our children's children, as are those of Mount Washington after the mists have cleared, and they will recognize in him the strongest force that has ever entered into and formed our national life, the grandest contribution of America to the intellectual history of the race —a man who oould not found a party or adjust his last years to anew condition of affairs, but who founded a nation of freemen, by implant ing iu their minds that oonception of nationali ty which, once cherished, never fades away.” Detroit has a policeman who lias thoroughly studied human nature and who has a heart full of kindness. When he seas a lady fall he steps forward and picks her up in the most graceful manner. Bealizing her embarrass ment, he remarks : “ No one but myself wit nessed the accident, madam. Those boys arc laughing about a thing which happened hero two days ago. It is very pleasant for a bad day, madam. Your folks are all well, I liopo ? Lots of people buying Hanta Claus presents Just now. The boys are laughiug because a bald-headed man fell down. Boys will laugh, you know, when they are tickled. Wish to take the oar, madam ? Well, good day. You can rest assured that no one saw you fall. Some ladies strike on their head, but you only Btum bled, madam—a mere graceful stumble." — Free Fress. Otis O. Hall, of San Francisco, was a bank teller, two years ago, at a salary of #2,500. — Ha loved Miss Sharon. Miss Sharon loved him. Mr. Sharon was agreeable, but the elder Hall advised Otis to wait a pair of years, travel in Europe, grow worldly wise, return and mar ry. All this Otis did as he was parentally advised. He left his situation in San Francis co, made au extensive tour of Europe, and a short time ago returned, the period of his pro bation having elapsed. He got back just iu time to read in the newspapers of the marriage of Miss Sharon, his betrothed, to T. G. New lands, a young lawyer of San Francisco. It was also stated for Hall’s furthor edification that Newlauds had received #1,000,000 in cash with his beautiful bride. Hall got a position as clerk in a Chicago hardware store, but he is not happy. —Chicago Times. Value of Green Soiling. [Atlanta Constitution] Augusta, December 21, 1874. Dr. Thomas P. Janes, Commissioner of Agriculture, Atlanta. Daau Sir— ****** Recently nt the Richmond Vale Grange, No. (159, the subject of green soiling (plowing ntuler green crops) wns in order. Soveral members gave them practioal experiments as very satisfactory. The most noted was the statement of Mr. J. J. T s, a gentleman of intelli gence and great reliability. He stated that he had on an eighteen acre tract (land that made eight to ten bushels of corn per acre) turned under a good coat of green pea vines and sowed it in wheat in the middle of September. The fol lowing April the wheat took the rust so bad that it made no grain at all. He allowed the straw to lay on the ground and let the laud lie idle all the Summer. The following year he put it in corn, gave it only the ordinary culture, anil made eighteen bushels of corn per acre. This increase of nearly 100 per cent, he attributed to the crop of green peas plowed under two years previous. I have proved satisfactorily, what may not bo generally known, that horses can be kept in first rate condition and uot raise much corn; sell the most of it as roasting ears. In that state it brings me $2 per bushel or more—or an average id 20 cents per dozen. The past season 1 had about four acres ill sweet potatoes. The largest were se lected for market. I have been feediug two horses on the smallest for the past tlgee months. They have kept in first raje workiug order, without eoru, but plenty of peavine bay and three quarts of potatoes at each me&l, feeding three tides daily. I began cautiously with lest than a quart at a feeding, giving Boite corn at first, but gradually dimin ishing the coru and increasing the pota toes. In six weeks I left off the corn en tirely. My horses have never exhibited the slightest symptom of colic. Land that will produce fifteen bushels of corn per acre will produce one hundred bush els of sweet potatoes. The cultivation of the latter is not quite double the ex pense of the former. Such is the little rill of facts which I offer to your great reservoir. Wishing you and yonr Bureau of Agri culture every success, I am yours to command, W. K. Nelson. The newa of the latest disaster at sea ia horrible, but not surprising. When a steamship company is managed by stock jobbers instead ok sailors, and when even the stock jobbing manage ment is uot continued long enough in one set of hands to enable them to do dtore than upset the work of their pre decessors and intensify the demoraliza tion of the service, nothing excepting escape from disaster could surprise the public. We are as yet without full par ticulars as to the origin of the disaster to the steamship Japan. But there can be no doubt about its primary cause.— The best managed steamship line in the world must at some time or another ex pect an accident, but that the succes sion of accidents befalling the Pacific Mail Steamship Company can be the re sult of anything but gross mismanage ment, lack of competent officers, and lack of discipline in the force, is impos sible. ' The Albany Newt, of Thursday, says: Hon. T. J. Perry and lady passed through the city Tuesday, on their way home from Savannah. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Perry at the depot, and were much gratified to learn of the rapid improvement he is making his woun4 being nearly healed and well. He seemed cheerful and convers ed hopefully for the future. The police pt Atlanta are making ac tive efforts to capture the notorious ne gro desperado, Wiley Bedding. CORONER’S INQUEST. Death of the Negro Jim Thomas. Some time since a negro named Jim Thomas was shot ana seriously wounded by Reuben Taliaferro, another colored troop, in a house occupied by the two, on Greene street, below Lin coln. Reuben, after committing the deed, fled and has not been heard of since. Thomas lingered until last Mon day night, at eight o’clock, when he died. Coroner Cox summoned a jury and held an inquest over the body. The follow ing evidence was elicited : Rachel Jenkihs (col.) sworn—Reuben Taliaferro shot Jim Thomas; Jim came in and accused Reuben of telling tales on him; R?ubea gave him the lie; he called him a dam lie and Jim walked up and slapped him with his open hands; Benben went in next room and whirled back into other room; his brother asked him if he didn't go after his pistol* he said he did not; he faced Thomas and said if he warded anything of him to take it; Thomas slapped him again, when Reuben drew back and shot him with a pistol; I hav’nt seen Reuben since; both parties lived here. Edward Percival (colored) sworn— Jim was in the room before Reuben came ; he told us that Renbe had told Mr. Woody he was a grand rascal; Reu ben came and Thomas asked him what he meant by telling Mr. Woody he was a grand rascal; Reuben said he was a lie, he didn’t tell him any such thing; after a while Renbe told Jim again he was a liar ; Jim told him he was a liar ; Reube then called him a lying son of a bitch; Jim told him not to call him so again; Reube called him so again; Jim struck him in the breast with hia open hand; before that Reuben had gonn into the next room and got his pistol; Reube said, Jim, if you want anything come out in the street; JizYf said I don’t want to hurt you; after some words Reube called him a dam son of a bitch, and Jim struck him with his hand, when Reuben shot him; I was lying on the bed; I saw Reuben when he shot Jim; Jim fell in about five minctes; a physician, Dr. Fotd, was sent for immediately. The jury decided to have a post mar , tem examination of the body, and re quested Dr. DeSaussure Ford, who bad been the attending physician, to per form the operation. Dr. Ford, assisted by Dr. Robt. Eve, then performed the antopsy. After a thorough examination he gave the result of his investigation to the jury as follows : Dr. DeSaussure Ford sworn—The de ceased died from the effects of a gun shot wound, the ball passing through the right border of the body of the ster nnm, and thence traversing the lung and leaving the thoracic cavity, through the intercostal space between the fifth and sixth ribs. His immediate death was caused by hemorrhage from the ves sels of the right lung, that organ being entirely disorganized. The jury, of which Mr. A. E. Dugas was foreman, returned the following verdict: “We, the jury, find that the deceased, James Thomas, came to his death from a gnn shot wound, inflicted by Reuben Taliaferro, such killing, in our opinion, being murder. We recommend that his Excellency Governor Smith offer a suit able reward for the apprehension of said Reuben Taliaferro.” It being apparent that the family of the deceased was in very destitute cir cumstances, the jury recommended that he be buried at the expense of the connty. ANOTHER STABBING AFFAIR. Two Persons Badly Cut. Last, night, about half-past eight o’clock, a stabbing affray occurred at a small brown house on the south side of Ellis street, above Campbell, oooupied by a wnmau named Loudou, but more generally known as Emma Cooper. The women in the house give the following version of the affair : At the time mentioned above a young man named George W. Watkins, son of Harry Watkins, the comedian, entered the house and was met iu the ball by Emma Cooper. The latter, it is said, had frequently told Watkins not tocomu to the house, aud on the present occa sion ordered him to leave. Watkins, after making some threats, drew a pocket kmfe aud made a lunge with it at the woman, who threw up her left arm to ward off the blow. The knifo struck the arm between the wrist and elbow, and cut a wide gash entirely through it. Mr. George Keruaghau, who was in a room near by, rushed out aud placed himself between Watkins aud the woman, to prevent the former from doing the latter any further damage. Watkins then raised the knife again aud struck Mr. Kerna glian in the chest with it, cutting a long gash. Mr. Kernaghan wore a thick flan nel pad under his vest, which probably prevented the knife from penetrating as deep as it otherwise would. A largo hole was cut in the pad. After striking Mr. Keruaghan, Watkins fled, but was intercepted by two policemen and car ried to the City Hall and thence to the jail. He appeared to be very drunk, and gave no statement whatever of the affair. Mr. Kernaghan was carried to his room over his livery stables and seveal physicians summoned. When these reached him his pulse was so feeble that it was thought his condition was very serious. In a short time, however, he became better, aud the case assumed a much more favorable aspect. At a late hour he was doing well. He made his will, however, in order to be prepared for the worst. The wound of Emma Cooper, while of a painful nature, was not considered to be at all serious. It was dressed by physicians a short time after the stab bing occurred. _ CENTRAL RAILROAD DIRECTORY. Report of the Special Committee.

A white youth named Con ners shot off one of his fingers with a pistol. A colored boy, whose name we did not learn, was struck in the eye by a ball from a Roman candle and the organ seriously injured. A boy was struck on the head with a brick, but not much hart. A number of negroes got into an alter cation in the course of which Aleck Green struck Jack Mitchell in the face with his fist, damaging the frontispiece of the stricken individual to a consider able extent.

ODR ATLANTA LETTER. SOME PASSAGES IN THE LIFE OF ’ AN OUTLAW.. [.Special Correspondent? Chronicle and Sentinel] Atlanta, December 25, 1574. Atlanta is at present infested by a ne gro desperado whose exploits in out lawry of every description, embracing assassination, theft, murder, robbery, and almost every other crime known to the law, have awakened a general terror among the people of this city. His name is Wiley Redding. He is an es caped penitentiary convict, having been sentenced to imprisonment for twenty years, bnt escaped after a two years’ servitude. His principal fields of,opera tion have been in Griffin, Atlanta and Covington and the adjoining commnni ties to these towns, where he has com mitted every species of mischief known to a civilized country. He was arrested three years ago, by a piece of good for tune, after almost every resource had failed. Police officials had instructions that he was harbored and concealed on the premises of a certain negro woman, and they proceeded imme diately to make the arrest. They searched the entire premises over several times, and were about to leave without discovering any trace of him, when one of the party, as a playful trick, struck a small-sized box, and asked the old negro, bruskly, “What’s in there.” She replied that it contained clothes, bat in a manner that excited the snspi cions of the party, and he asked for the key. She said it was lost. Thereupon a policeman seized an axe, saying he could open the box without a key, deal ing at the instant a pretty heavy blow on the box. The. old darkey then said : “Here’s de key; 'I jis’ found it.” The box was speedily opened, and there, crouched about in the attitude of Mark Twain’s jumping frog, was Wiley Red ding crowded in a space so small as never to excite a suspicion that a man coaid conceal himself therein. Red ding, beloags to an organized band of ontlaws, many of whom are now in the penitentiary. Among the latter is Bob Redding, a brother of Wiley; and, at the hazardous risk of being denied again, I will relate in this connection Another Anecdote of Judge Hopkins. Bob Redding had lived about Atlanta loDg enough to learn that if he ever came under the official eye of Judge Hopkins he would be undone forever, aud with a view to escape the Judge’s jurisdiction, he removed his headquar ters to the adjoining county of Clayton and commenced operations where he thought he could better elude the law, and probably, if caught, escape a severe penalty under a more lenient Judge. His knowledge of the judiciary system of Georgia was too limited to know that in its ramifications it included Clayton county iu the Atlanta Judicial Circuit; so he continued his outlawry in fancied security, never dreaming that the eagle eye of Judge Hopkins would rest on him. One day, however, he was arrest ed and brought to the Court House in Jonesboro, and the first object that attracted his attention was Judge Hop kins, sitting sedately on the Judge’s bench, when he exclaimed aloud, star ring the while in astouishmeut at the Judge; “Jre-e-s-u-s Chris’, I didn’t know he sot here /’’ Bob, however, soon found out that “he” did “sot” there, for the Judge sen tenced him to the penitentiary for a 'ong term of years. The truth is the law is administered here with such rigor by Judge Hopkins that evil-doers live within his jurisdiction with fear and trembling. Wiley Redding is prowling around the city now, and threatens to kill Judge Hopkins and Detective Murphey before he leaves. Two efforts have been made to arrest him, both ineffectual. In the first case he shot and probably mortally wounded a policeman and escaped. In the sec ond he was surrounded iu a house on the outskirts of the city, but the police men mistook another negro for him, and while they wero endeavoring to kill him Redding made his escape. Gov. Smith offers S4OO reward for his arrest; but in the face of it all Wiley Redding walks the streets in open daylight, and skulks about at night defying and de feating all efforts to arrest him. Halifax. [American Crocer ] COTTON. Cotton is very low in price, at about the lowest point touched at any time since the war, and apparently still tend ing down. We have reached 13 j for low middling uplands on the spot, against 18c. in May last—a decline of 4sc. Au gust delieveries were then selling at 19$, and December at 17 13-16 c., while con tracts for this month are now selling at 13j*c., a decline in December contracts from the highest price during the season of 4 1-16. In searching for the cause of this important decline we find; first, the general dulluess of trade in all markets and all branches of trade; and secondly and mainly, the large estimate of this year’s crop, varying from four to four and a half million bales ; and as long as such large estimates prevail we may look iu vain for any important reaction. We differ very widely from those who figure tip such a large crop for this year, be lieving that the smallest of these esti mates may prove to be three-quarters of a million above the actual result. We do not find that the large estimates are based on any reliable data, or that they rest on anything but a vague notion that a hot and dry Summer must necessarily give a large cotton crop. Another argu ment is the largo port receipts for some weeks past. Both arguments lack, in our opinion, the correct basis which, un der all circumstances, can be accepted as indisputably correct. It is true, un der ordinary circumstances, when plant ing is commenced in March or April and finished before the middle of May, and the plant has obtained a good start and strength, when warm and dry weather sets in during July and August, the se verest heat and a long drouth which would be fatal to other crops, migtit not only not injure cotton but prove posi tively beneficial. But when, as was the case this year in consequence of unfa vorable weather, overflows, etc., a larger portion of the crop has been planted very late—the latter part of May and the first half of June—then, under such cir cumstances, a long-continued drouth, accompanied by excessive heat, after having retarded its growth aud finding tho plant weak and tender, must prove very injurious. This is the position we take; and finding our view corrobo rated, not only by the Agricultural Bu reau, bnt also by the Cotton of the several departments, aud by a great majority of private correspondents, we conclude that this year’s crop will be found to give the smallest yield per acre of any year since the war. We place the fullest confidence in the reports of the Agricultural Bureau in regard to the condition of the crop, for after a close study of these reports for several years back, we find those for September, when the plant may be said to havo reached maturity, have; uniformly indicated very correctly the total yield. The average yield of cotton per acre in this country in average seasons is from 200 to 206 pouuds per acre. In 1870-1 it amounted to 216 pouuds per acre, and was correct ly indicated by the September report of the Bureau of that year, the condition of the crop for all the States averaging 104$, or 4$ per cent, over average condi tion, indicated by the figure 100, the to tal yield for that year being 4,347,000 bales. In 1871-2 the September condi tion of the crop, as reported by the Bureau, was 19 per cent, below that of the previous year, and the total yield for that year being 2,974,000 bales, the report proves to be substantially correct. In 1872 3 tho September condition, ac cording to the Bureau, was 10$ per cent, below that of 1870-1, and was likewise borne ont by the result; and in 1873-4 the September condition, as reported by the Bureau, was 12$ per cent, below tha't of 1870-1, and proved to be equally cor rect, j* Now, wtfW through four successive years the Bureau, in its reports of con dition of the crops in September, is shown to have been uniformly correct, is there not the best reason to believe that it may be equally correct this year ? When private reports and indi vidual estimates vary so much, can we have a better guide in estimating this year’s crop ? The September report of the Bureau for this year makes the average condition for all the States 29 per cent below that of 16“0-’71, accord ing to whichdhe total yield of this crop would be 3,050,000 bales of 440 pounds each. The Bureau, on the Ist of Jane last, gave the area planted in cotton as 8,723,000 but as we know that planting was Alien going on and was not completed uinil about the middle of the month, we believe that the acreage may have been somewhat increased, and for this reason, likewise in consequence of the extraordinarily fine picking season,, which enabled the planters to save every pound of cotton that was grown, we add several hundred thousand bales to what we otherwise should estimate and pat the figure! for’ this crop at 3,250,000 bales. We attach no importance to the large port receipts for several weeks past, for we anticipated them in spite of onr low crop estimate. The crop having matured unprecedentedly early and simultaneously, the planters were enabled to pick it rapidly; and the unusually large indebtedness of plant ers—the monetary crisis and consequent depression of prices having prevented them from paying up last year, the ur gency of their creditors obliged them to send it forward as rapidly as it could be got ready for market. This is no mere theory; we have this information from the best authority. We make no prediction as to the conrse of prices. We content ourselves with warning onr subscribers that a rapid and important reaction may set in at any time. Twice since the war Liver pool has touched the price which is quoted from there to-day, or say about 7d. The first time was in December, 1867, and three months after that date it had risen to 14df—a rise of 100 per cent. The second time was in March, 1871; and in June of that year it was 9id. We shall be very much surprised if history does not repeat itself during the present season, and show ns the price of low middling cotton in June next in this market at 20c. and over. We fear this year will be a disastrous one for American manufacturers. The bad trade in cotton goods has weakened them and has prevented them from lay ing in their usual stocks of the raw ma terial at low prices, while Europe is getting an nnnsual proportion of onr crop. If we are correct in our estimate of the crop, they may find the country bare of cotton when they most need it, and may then be forced to pay exorbi tant prices. Local and Business "Notices.

Saturday Afternoon, ) December 26, 1874. f The Financial Situation. Honey is in an anomalous situation: there is plenty of it m the city and country and yet it is not easy. The lien law having "expired by .limitation, thus shotting down upon advances next year upon the growing crop, many plant ers clearly foresee that if they come foiward and meet their existing obligations it will take all the money they have and leave nothing with which to run their plantations next Sum mer. They prefer to sacrifice their credit to take the chances, and hence are going back npon their merchants and factors. This in tarn cramps them, creates distrust generally, and hence, although money is plentiful, it is being paid out with more than usual caution. There is no doubt, then, about there being an extraordinary stringency all through the North. The complaint is general of commerce and every branch of industry and trade languishing to an extent not experienced in two or three decades of years. There is more cause for a panic now than a year ago. That people are frantically calling upon Congress for relief, bnt the trouble is Cor greas has relieved them so often that it has got to be a matter of conrse or else a panic. Congress and the balance of the country are in no humor now to makeweed less appropriations for any such purpose. The situation at the South is far different. This is not an inflated balloon. The material affairs of it are in a great measure based upon cotton, and cotton plays upon the stage of the whole world. If our people would only prac tice one-half the economy of other popula tions, hard times, panics and financial revul sions among them would be impossible. But we never will grow great and prosperous until the enormous drain upon our money for pro visions entirely ceases. It is true it has been more or less checked, but thousands upon thou ■ sands of dollars are stid being paid out every day for articles we might j ust as well make at home. By the tables below it will he seen that the sales of cotton this week foot np 7,725 bales, aggregating $502,125. The total amount of sales for the season foot up 108.204 halos, and the amount of money received therefor and paid out in Augusta $7,033,260. Up to this time there has been comparatively little drain upon this enor mous sum of money. The aggregate amount of sales of foreign products aud productions have been less so far than any year perhaps since the war. Wa are, therefore, under the conviction that there is plenty of money in the country. From this standpoint the future out look of trade is cheerful. All laws for the col lection of debts having been virtually annulled by .the bankrupt enactments of the General Government, and by the Homestead and Ex emption laws of Georgia, no other debts than that of honor can now be incurred in a small way. We have, it may unconsciously, drifted into this position, but there we are neverthe less. The prudent merchant, therefore, must now demand cash, or else put out his goods upon sscurity of straw. ' Stocks and Bonds. The market is flat. Itailway stocks are hard ly other than nominal. Holders of Central are waiting for the result of the meeting of its Stockholders iu January. But exactly what they expect from that meeting is not clear. It is supposed though that some better showing or another Board of Directors or something else will take place which will put a brighter face upon affairs. But the Central is like other roads all over the country—freight and travel over it is too soarce to promise heavy dividends at present. The changes we make in quotations this week are as follows: Georgia 7 per cent, bonds, Smith’s issue, have advanced from 83(6)85 to 86@87. Georgia Railroad Stock has fallen from 70(5)724 to 70. Central has advanced from 50(5)55 to 52(6)55. Augusta and Savannah has fallen from 82@84 fo 82; West Point from 65(5)70 to 70; Loan and Savings Bank from 7|@ 7| to 6(6)7. “ And in demand ”is inserted after “Augusta Factory Stock, 150." The Provision Market. The retail trade has been as heavy as ever known. The heavy shipments of Tennessee dressed poultry for our Christmas found ready sale and little or none was reported left over this morning. Nor were the finer grades of general groceries at all neglected. The aggre gate sales of retail merchants in all lines have been very satisfactory. Asa rule, the whole sale departments were neglected, as might have been expected. Our heavy dealers have little other employment than to stand off and enjoy the fair trade of their neighbors. We do not anticipate a revival of this branch of business to a full extent until after the holi days. Our friends in the country, however, may rest assured that we will have ample stocks to supply their demands. Gold, Silver and New York Exchange. Gold.—Buying, 110 ; selling at 112.

The market has moved along steadily during the week for the higher grades. Good Ordi nary has lost 1 cent since last Saturday. We do not remember ever hearing such wide dif ferences of opinion in the estimates of the gross number of bales which were raised iu 1874. When the United States Agricultural Bureau and the New York Financial Chronicle are no less than 800.000 bales apart, and each of these considered standard authority, you can readily see how the question is complica ted. We had no market yesterday, and to day the weather is so wretchedly bad that not much business was transacted. It looks like Winter has at last commenced in dead earnest.

New York, December 26, p. m. —The market for cotton on spot has assumed a much firmer tone during the week, and prices show an im provement of )c. This advance was establish ed early in the week, and apparently was based on a decrease in receipts and free export movement, and many large receivers have withdrawn their stocks from market. This, however, is only true of better grades, which are really scarce and worth more money com paratively. The medium and lower qualities do not show any groat strength, and improved prices now current are regarded as full figures. The export movement, though slightly in ex cess of last week, is not sufficient in extent to attract any greit attention, as purchases appa rently wore merely of odd lots, which were wanted to fill freight engagements. As to the spinning interest, these dealings were gene rally limited to such lots as could be used at once. 8o from general indications it does not appear that imprpvement can be very well sup ported unless foreign advices are more favor able than at present. For future delivery, the turn has again heen in favor of the seller, but firmness in prices was mainly due to the pur chasers of the short interest to cover. In fact the entire upward movement appears to be a speculative one, as there were several large sales for latter months, including lower range of prices. Closing dealings were very light. The total sales of the week were 201,947, of which 9,237 were on spot and balance for fu ture delivery. United States Money Markets. New York, December 26, noon.—Gold opened at 111}. Stocks active.
