but low grades are much neglected, particularly
those having little sand or dust intermixed. The
spinners and manufacturers realizing large pro-
hts, and what will be the result of curtailment of
four millions of bales no can tell.
A congress Of European Powers now seems cer
tain, and it is hoped with confidence we shall have
no more war for some time to come.
1t is hoped ere this that they are in receipt in
Liverpool of accounts that there serious in
jury from frosts before the 10Th to the 31s of Octo
ber and that there is question of four millions
of bales of cotton being realized therefore, with
these figures as the general minimum, speculation
will be repressed, wild and hazardous Investments
be prevented. But while we respect four millions
of bales fair estimate, we do not surrender our
own convictions, or own figures of ~ $50, 900
bales the minimum, say four and a quarter mil
lions of bales
There were other matters talked of yesterday.
There was something doing on Tchoupitohlas, Poy-
dras, New Levee and Fulton Streets The many
arrivals from the tOhio river and Upper Mississippi
have added largely to the stocks of Western pro-
duce, which created increased activity on the levee
and landings; in fact, the levee presented an un-
usual degree of briskness yesterday.
Our Western merchants and traders are in good
spirits, as well as in good credit. Bythebye there
ought not to be any losses in the great Western
trade connected with our city. There is every in
ducement for the great West to send forward pro-
duce. There is an abundance of shipping in port,
and costs OF transportation to foreign countries
and Northern Atlantic ports are low and very rea-
sonable; so we can talk to the great West-send
forward your flour, your corn, your wheat, your
pork and bacon all the resources of tile country
are available here. Gold and silver, exchange of
the best characters and for notes of hand or pro-
misses to pay, they are not used in this market in
making purchases of produce. ..=
We have been drifting away from cotton, but our
attention is attracted by some suggestions of the
quantity on sale yesterday, being only l2s,OOO
bales.
The following are the sales of cotton reported
for each week since the commencement of the
present commercial year, the LIST September:

TALK ON CHANGE.

The gatherings on Carondelet and environs
yesterday were numerous. Every corner of the
great cotton locality had its congregations of bro
kers, buyers, sellers, freight brokers, exchange
brokers, with now and then sprnkling of that
useful class, note brokers and stock operators.
The early part of the day was (by those connected
with the foreign cotton trade) occupied in perusng
and meditating on the correspondence by the Ca
nada's mails, which were received yesterday and
the day before. The private advces read highly
satisfactorily to shippers of cotton, purchased in
September, or what had been received. Some of
the new crop, Middling Orleans, had attained the
high price of 74d., which will do very well but,
unfortunately, the quantity sold at that figure bears
very small pro rata of the bulk of sales, to say
nothing of the many thousands of bales which have
been knocked off at 4, 4a@5d. The real quota
tions of Middling Orleans on the 4th inst were 7a
@7ad. There was some talk yesterday that the
conservative cotton buyers were becoming alarmed
at the great number of ships loading in the several
Southern ports for Liverpool. Well we are asked,
.swhat is conservative buyer what are his char
acteristics?" We are pretty certain he does not
buy cotton by candle light, as in days gone by,
when purchasers were in such great haste to Sc
cure the staple. We think that was in the year
1888, and possibly at later period there have
been some latitudinarian operations 1t appears
there are ITO ships loading with cotton in Charles
ton, Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans, which
will clear within the next thirty days for Liverpool
The fast folks say, never mind don't care we'll
put them through anyhow. Cotton is King, and
Queen Victoria cannot help herself, with steel
hoops, whalebone and crinoline in general. While
talking of cotton and the general import of the let
ters per Canada, we reminded of our private
correspondence, which is as follows:

The SUFFERERS THE LATE FrREs-A meeting

OF the sufferers by the late fires, took place last
evening, at the corner Of Union and Carondelet
streets Several citizens who had been entrusted
Win subscription lists, and wl1s had made collec-
tlons, announced to the committee that they were
progressing favorably; among these, Mr.. Adam
"agatha stated that his list had already reached
about $500, and Mr.. Brauns $1,000, and also that
several large lists were circulating still.
Inc Committee adopted the following resolu-
tons resolution providing that all subscription
lists shall be handed in at the meeting Saturday
night next, at Mr. Abel's establishment, corner of
Union and Carondelet streets, called the Casino,
up stairs
A resolution calling mass meeting of the citi-
zens interested in the cause soon after the lists
are handed in as possible, for the purpose of de-
termining upon the distribution of the amounts
collected. The place Of meeting will be hereafter
designated, and due notice will be given.

at the lower landing, the great sugar depot,
there was not that activity have noticed at this
season OF the year. The crop is hort-the frost
has cut short the fond hopes and antioipations of
thousands who obtain their livelihood one way or
another through the cultivation of sugar. Steam
boat propretors will feel the effects Of the deci
ency in the yield, and it will be only in certain
cases or instances that the grower planter will
receive, even with large advance in price, any
thing of comparative return with an average sea-
son. High prices will curtail consumption. The
talk closed yesterday with remarks about the
weather, prospects of rain, and the next steamer
from Europe, which will probably be the North
Breton OF the 10th from Liverpool for Portland,
now fully due. The next Cunard steamer will be
the Niagara of the 18th for Halifax.

RESERVED AND ENGAGED LADIEs-The New York
correspondent of the Charleston Courier says:
The ladies who go to the opera, although they
dress spendidly and look beautifully, sometimes
present singular appearance upon leaving the
Academy. On the backs of nearly all the chairs in
the house are pinned small placards, on which are
printed the word Reserved " and sometimes Z" En-
gagged" 1t is not an unfrequent occurrence to see
some of the ladies, like horse before an auction

back, walking unsuspectingly home.

CONTESTED SEATS IN THE UNITED STATES HOUSE
OF REPREsENTATIyEs.-Th next House of Repre-
sentatiyes will have number of cases of contested
elections to decide upon. Among the New York
delegation, the seat of Daniel E. Sckles, Demo-
crat from the third district, will be contested by
Amer ]. Williamson, American; that of William
R. Maclay, Democrat, from the fifth district, will
be contested by Philip Hamilton, Republican, and
the seat of John B. Haskin, anti-Lecompton Dem
ocrat, from the ninth district, will be claimed by
Governeur Kemble, Regular Democrat. The right
of William G.. Anderson, Opposition, to represent
the fourth district of Kentucky, will be contested
by James Christman, Democrat I. B. Florence
Democrat holds the certificate of election from
the first district of Pennsylvania but his right will
be disputed by John W. Ryan, Republican. ]. R.
Barrett received majority of the votes and was
declared elected in the first (St Lous) district of
Missouri, but fraud is charged and Francis P.
Blair Jr, Republican, his opponent III the contest,
will contest his right to the seat in consequence.
Ezra B. French, Republican, the representative of
the third district of Maine, will also have to make
good his claims against the charges of Alfred W.
johnson, Democrat. An effort will probably be
made to vitiate the Baltimore election, and, as
usual, the seats of almost all the territorial dele
gates will be contested.
