THE NASHVILLE RAILROAD.

We are informed that number of citizens have
purchsshed $780, 900 of the city bonds held by the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad for the purpose of
siding this great enterprise and securing its early
completion. This act, on the part of our citizens,
speaks volumes IN favor of their enterprising spirit
1t shows that they have confidence in the L. and n.
Railroad and in its securities and that they intend
to complete the road. 1t makes no difference to
them whether the sharpers Of wall street will buy
these securities not. They are known at home to
be the very best securities in the land and the opn-
ion Of Wall street, for against them, would not
effect them the least in this latitude. In fact re-
cent events would lead many Of our Wisest citizens
to consider any securities doubtful that went we'll
in Wall street. The best recommendation good
stocks could possibly have would be refusal to take
them in that stock jobbing pandemonium. Every
thing the Bears and Bulls, and Longs and Shorts
take hold of, is contaminated bv their triNfA"" -
In this subscription of $500, 900 at home, we see
the traces of the financial genius Of Hon. James
Guthrie. The subscription was started by him, and
it resulted ell of his great efforts for the good of
his country must result His clear head discovered
the necessity Of such move and it was at once be-
gun. To have begun it under his guidance was to
ensure success. The Nashville Road will now move
on it should, for it cannot stop while Mr. Guthrie
is connected with it. He will make it go with the
might Of dozen locomotives, for with his great
mind and energy there is no such thing as failure.
Gov. Helm is doing all that he can do to push for
ward the enterprise. noble depot is going up on
Broadway. Hands are at work on various sections
of the road. The work is going on better than could
be expected in these hard times. We regret that
we have not in Kentucky States aid law for rail-
reads Such law would have completed the L.
and n. R. r. long ago. But it is not foo late for
such law. Other roads need it as well as the
Nashville. We shall not have such railroads as we
need until snch law is passed.-LOuispiIs Courier

Our market opened on Saturday with q decidedly
better feeling, since when the tone has daily improV
ed under the combined influence of accounts per
Asia, more favorable for holders, an easier money
market and the splendid weather for the gathering
in of harvest, which, both at home and abroad,
promises to be most abundant Further improvement
in Manchester, and the presence Of spectators
here had the eject Of inducing larger operations on
the part Of the trade, and the above returns show
that they have purchased in full proportion TO the
consumption Holders, on their part not failing to
take advantage Of the favorable position Of circum-
stances have daily raised their pretentions, and
the supply being limited have succeeded in estsb-
fishing advance of to g. led The prices cur
rent last Friday.
Stocks are diminishing steadily, and that Of
American shows to-day the large decrease Of 2Sl,
$50 bales as compared with last year at the same
time it must not be forgotten that by the end Of
last year the quantity Of American cotton in this
port had dHindled down TO 173, $50 bales here
arises the question now more and more discussed
"What advance in price will cause q diminution
in consumption corresponding with the falling of in
supply"
Today's sales are estimated at Il, 900 bales, Of
which 5000 are on speculation and for export. The
market closes very firm and rather dearer.
In Manchester o good business has been done,
particularly in yarns, which are rather higher.
Money is decidedly easier, but the continued

CoTToN.-The amount Of business done since the

not been sufficient to establish any reliable QUOTA

WHEAT-We have a snsiderable decline to re-
port since our last weekly report The article has
been coming in freely, and what, with the general
tightness of the Money market and the difficulty OF
realizing exchange, prices have receded fully Is
cents, sales of Red having been effected at Sl.2O,
which, at the close of the market yesterday seemed
to be an outside figure. We have not heard Of any
transactions in White, this quality being rather
scarce.
FLoUR-This article also has considerably de-
preciated in value since we reported last week.
The arrivals since the LIST instant, amounting to
upwards of 1000 barrels were not met by an ade-
quate demand and holders in order to effect sales,
we're compelled to submit to q decline of 373@5Oc.
on sacks, and 25@373c on barrels-sales OF the
former having been effected at the close Of the
market at S5.75@S5.873; of the latter at $500

PROSPECTS OF THE CoTToN CRoP.-The past two
weeks of dry and cool weather has materially chang
ed the prospects Of the cettOn crop, the hopes ohe
planters. The fine appearance OF the weed on the
twenty-ffth of August, excited the confident ex-
pecation with many persons that the crop would be
a large one, even though the spring had been very
cold, and the crop stunted. The bad stands had
been lost sight Of in the e1ubersnt growth Of the
plant lint planters from different sections in
form us that although the cotton weed is abundant
the blooms and forms, and even the leaves Of the
plant, shedding off rapidly, that there is but
little hope of making anything like an average crop.
In some sections, the worms doing great damage
and every day the complaint from the FARMERS seems
to increase.
We dislike to chronicle reports of this character
from the generally prevailing opinion that there are
always an abundant supply Of short crop croakers
about September and October, of each returning
year. If we deceived in relation to the state
ment we make about the cotton CROP then there are
hundreds Of closely observing, experienced, and
intelligent planters, who labor under delusion IS

Money and Commercial Matters,

| The St. Louis Democrat of the 1lth inst, says
| Yesterday was a day of unusual stringsncy in
money matters More inconvenience was experienced
than has been felt in this city for years. The truth
is there is great scarcity of money in the city The
resources of the country, were never more stable
and promising, yet country merchants have been
very sparng in their remittances, having employed
the bulk of their capital in real estate speculatiOns
and leaving to discharge their Indebtedness to
the city merchants The Democrat adds
The general market is very much crippled and
fattened by the pressure of money matters. Re-
ported sale of 500 barrels city superfne -four at
"a IS which figure it is said is the obtained for
the 1900 barrels, reported at private terms yes
terdav Country -four in small demand Wheat
was very hard to sell, millers having little no
money to buy with, and there existing no demand
for shipment. Corn dull and triae lower.
The Cincinnati Gazette of the 18th says the de-
mand for money in that city is not large, and though
bankers are still uncertain as to the future, Dor
rowers manage to get their wants supplied, and we
hear but little complaining in our street. But says
the Gazette
The worst feature Of the present difficulties is in
proeuring Exchange, the market for which is quite
irregular and uncertain, while large amounts
difficult to obtain. 1t is Variousiy quoted at 3(12
per cent, but sales have been made below these
figures.
Our Produce markets are beginning to feel very
sensiblv the effects of the abundant hsrvests and
the great staff of life is getting down whiting the
reach of the poorest laborer. The decline in Flour
to day wssfully 25c.
It's estimated that the wheat crop Of Tennessee,
Georgia, North and South Carolina viii amount to
four and a.balf million bushels, and that Of this
amount Charleston is likely to receive 10000 bar
rels of -FOUR and 1900, 900 bushels of wheat. For
the last nine months there have been exported to
snan from Charleston 60 900 barrels of four There
are now in Georgia and Tennessee 20 large msr
chant mills with the capacity of two. hundred bar
canacitv. there are also several large mills in North
and South Carolina, and great many small ones
so that Charleston may now be termed a -four and
grain market.

The REASON WHY.-The Washington oorrespon-
dent Of the PnnsylUaniaH furnishes the reason why
MsttersOn of n. Y, will not resign his seat in the
next Congress, in compliance with the wishes Of his
constituents:
1t is surmised that Mr.. Matterson intends to
take his seat merely for the purpose of securing
that portion of his salary and mileage which will
become due-sbout three-fourths of his salary of
$4,000, and his mileage. This is certainly a con-
sideratiOn, which, in so corrupt mind as his, will
Justify him in setting at defiance the wishes of his
outraged constituents"

STOCK GAMBLING.

The morals of stock gambling are being thorough
ly discussed by the newspapers all through the
country. The Americans, on this as on every 9TH
er subject can write as huently and argue as well
as if they had been educated in school established
to teach them finance. One of the remarkable fea-
lures of this discussion Is the unanimity of sent
ment as regards the right and wrong of the thing.
Ninety-n nine in a hundred condemn took gambling
as a crime. For a christian q religious to
speculate in stocks, seems IS wicked to a country
man as for him to play cards for money" and
it is, but these country accusers seem to forget
that stock gamblers build churches for US here
support most talented ministers, supply the mis-
sonary fund, and do various other christian acts,
which make them 'highly respectable" They for
get that their own towns and cities furnish the
stocks-the "keards"-for Wall street gamblers to
play with, and that their own clergy frequently
come right among them to ask and get aid for poor
country churches That stock gambling is just as
bad as card gambling we do not pretend to deny,
and it ought to be as disreputsble; but the evil
brings its reward, and is punished frequent
ly in this world any "crime known to the law"
Among the stock gamblers of Wall street not one
has ever been known to retire from the business
rich. One man, after pursuing it for more than
twenty years, withdrew from the board with an am
pie fortune but for not necessary to MENTION
he cut his own throat soon after. He is the only
who has ever been known to quit stock gam
bling rich. The laws of Nature the will of Pro-
violence forbid from enjoying ill-gotten gains,
and they who strive TO live the labor of their fell
low-men and eat of the fruits of the earth without
giving anything in return, are met by the stern
hand Of Providence, which says: " Thou shalt not'
-" He that maketh haste to be rich shall surely
come to want."-Neo York Day Book.
