destined long, we think, to be Of great impor.
lance to the commercial interests Of this country.
Judge Rockwell yesterday. in his charge to the
Grand Jury Of Kings county, when referring to the
present position Of the liquor law, gave it as his
opinion that the sale Of liquor in quantities Of less
than five gallons, to be drank in the house Of the
seller, is misdemeanor. The repeating clause in
the prohibtory law was not, in his view, intended
to disturb or interfere with any former law.
Mr.. Branch, Alderman Briggs and the counsel
engaged in the examin alton into the nativity of the
present Chief Of Police, were examined yesterday
before the Police Committee Of the Councilmen, as
to the items Of their several bills submitted recently
to the Common Council. The report of the pro.
ceedings may be found in another column.
The cotton market yesterday was less animated,
and the sales were confined to abont 500 1000
bales, without quotable change in prices, though
closing rather heavier. Flour was better, with
more doing both tor the home trade and for export
sale of prime white Canadian wheat, for city
milling, was made at 81 s7a. Southern red and
white were unchanged. Rye sold at zoe. for South
ern, 75c. for Pennsylvania, and 78c. for Western.
Corn was without change Of moment in prices,
while sales were moderate. Pork was dull, and
mess closed at SO. Sugars were active; the sales
mbraced 900 hhds., at steady prices. Coffee was
steady with light sales. A fair amount Of freights
were offering for Liverpool, while rates were Wit I
