Farmers Loan fell OF per cent The sales of the
Reading Railroad were very large, but in the
other stocks there was very little done. The
market is by means Arm, aud it is anticipated
that the meeting of Congress will depress the market
timo. The fancy stocks generally held by strong
houses and it is possible they may be drawn from the
market to extent sufficient to sustain prices much
better than expected.

been steadily declining, and the rates rule from

We quote prime bills London at 81 per cent pre-
MUM, with the bulk of the sales at the lowest rate
The supply of southern cotton bills in the market
very large but the cotton markets in this country and
in Europe much depressed and the prospect in
relation to this staple is very unfavorabe that those
making remances do not have that confidence these
bills better state of the market would give In con.
nection with this, is the anticipation that sterling
change will experience another decline in rates Our
shipments of produce immense, and at a very high
home valuation, and importaons unusually lim-
ted from all parts Of the orld It Is possible that upon
the opening of the spring the importatons of foreign
manufactures will be large the ability of the people
OF the northern and western sections of this country to
consume the manufactures Of Europe, will be much
increased by the remuneratve prices they receiv
ing and must continue to receive for their agricultural
products. Our own manufacturers will all be much
benefited by the increased prosperity the agricultural
tne consumption OF the many
of the luxuriss Of lo must be increased large per
cent It may be question, whether the reduced con.
sumption Of these things at the South in consequence of
the depressed prices OF the great staple Of that section
may not Offset the additional consumption of the North,
and bring the consumption down to q fair average
There not usually that lberality Of expenditure in
prosperous times, among the people of the North,
among the people of the South. We more of
ing class fond of accumulation and more apt to
husband gains than the southerners; and any in.
in the Of any single class not there
fore, generally disrbuteda at the South. The mpor
tations in the spring will without doubt be much larger
than they have been this fall, and the balance our ia
vor reduced below what it otherwise would be but our
foreign trade for year at least is destined to be
profitable to the Northern and Western sections
the country, than it ever has been before.
