CoMmERo1AL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES dnys

COMMERCIAL 0PERATIoN.--Some days
since, we referred to the fact that several
contracts had been made for the delivery of
Pork in New Orleans, by which merchants
of this city expected to make very large
amount. The Pork was to be delivered on
the first inst, and several lots were delivered,
according to contract; but the heaviest par
cel-6,O00 0barrels-it appears was not hand.
ed over. The result of this latter operation
was the subject of general conversation to-
day, among Produce Dealers, and as it is a
matter ofinterest, VIC copy the following par
ticulars from the New Orleans Delta:
"Commercial circles were highly excited
by an occurrence which took place on Tues
day last, in which the fair dealing of one OF
our largest dealers in Western produce has
been seriously mpugned. We forbear CIV
ing the names Of parties, presuming that the
affair will in due time be made public in an
authenticated form. As far as we can gath
er them from responsible sources, the facts
are as folows:-The large Western mer-
chant referred to, some months ago made a
written contract with firm in the city, to
furnish them with 5000 barrels of pork at
$l4,5O p Dbl. Since the contract was
made, pork has gone up to SIT and the con-
tractor found himself in bad scrape. Or
the day that the contract was to be perform
ed, he appeared, however, before mem
Der of the firm of the other party ,ant
made tender of the pork, demanding the
price Immediately, towit the pretty sum o
$1,000, in cash; it was then past the banl
hour, and the firm requested the contractor
to wait until they could step out and draw
the money. He agreed, and the members o
the firm set actively to work to raise tht
money.
at was not long before they raised NOR
than enough, and had rendered the contrac
tor certificate of deposte OF SS7 900 in ont
of the banks This would not satisfy tn,
contractor, who demanded the money-th
| specie Again the members of the firm ha
to rush around to the bank to hunt up the OF
ficers. After some trouble and tax OF time
, they succeeded in getting the specie out @
the bank, and putting the specie on dray
, trotted around to the contractor. 1t wa
, then near7 o'clock, and they met the part
coming out of his Office, after having close
, up. "Here is your money for the 5000 Dbl
of pork, in specie" exultingly exclaimed tn
fortunate purchasers of the pork. The re
ply was model ofdiplomatic coolncss: "Sol
| ry, gentlemen, but it is too late, it is pas
business hours,-thc day is ovcr-the cor
i tract void. Good evening" And with a
air worthy of Metternich, the entcrprzn
, gentleman went home rejoicing over an OF
, Grafton which has rather startled the mora
sense of our commercial public. ."-Ct'
