TALK ON CHANGE.


Yesterday opened with unfavorable weather, and
under the advices from Liverpool per Nova scotan,
there was no desire or feeling for large transac-
tons either in cotton. exchange freight engage
ments. The samples of cotton factors and
brokers' tables were covered up, and at an early
hour many operators retired from the flags. 1t
was talked of that there were some reduced limits
received by the Nova Scotian. 1t may turn up
that ID f. b. may be the figures talked of, though
some Bears talked that limits reduced to 63d.
The middle of the week accounts are generally re-
garded as of the militia order not regular. The
America or the steamer of the Sd inst, is fully
due when more will be known in the premises. 1t
is manifest that lie. for Middng cotton, freight
| GIG, exchange los, requires in Liverpool ware
| house 7.31 to cover. OF course, we have to re-
ceive alvices of a further decline before present
prices will be considered here as jeopardizing.
The receipts of cotton yesterday were free, being
greatly in excess of the corresponding day last
year, say II ,s92 bales against 1880 bales. The
Vicksburg packet brought in yesterday 1888 bales
against 2S66 bales for the corresponding day last
year. There has been some increase in the re-
ceipts this week. from the prolific section of coun-
try bordering on the Ouachta river We learn
that the quality of the cotton from this section is
much improved over last year. The resolutions
adopted by buyers Of cotton go into effect on Mon
day next. We have not heard of any steps being
taken by factors and sellers to resist the contem-
plated movement. If factors refuse to accede to
the conditions of buyers, and buyers refuse to
cede from the resolutions, what then, as it takes
parties to form a contract? The question is pro-
pounded, g if buyers refuse to purchase, hold of
for thirty days, and not buy bale of cotton what
would be the result?" Who knows2 Many years
ago fifty-sx buyers of cotton formed compact
not to purchase bale of cotton only under certain
conditions entered into at formal meeting-the
prominent one was that tare should be allowed on
all cotton sold. The demand not compiled
with by factors. Buyers held off for fifteen days
when one party Ga buyer) broke the compact
Some buyers talked yesterday that they could hole
off for thirty days. We continue to hear complaints
of the list system of selling cotton. The remedy
for these complaints is with the planters or grow
ers of cotton.
The freight market appeared to be langud yes
tcrday that is in filling up vessels partly loaded
There was some talk that there were very few
large vessels expected for some time TO come, tina
is from Northern ports, though there are seyera
expected from Europe, but not sufficient to hav
any great effect on the general freight market
The disasters TO shipping last month were great il
fact, the losses and damage were unprecedented
the annals Of maratime history. These many hur
dreds of vessels cannot be replaced this season.
The mails came through yesterday, brinSm
some bags of matter due two or three days. III

THE CIEcUs,--The Incorporation of the two cir
Gus companies at Spalding & Rogers Amphitheater,
makes one whole series of equestrian and kindred
entertainments by far superior to anything of the
kind in any city on this or the other side of the At
antic. Astey's London Amphitheater, or Fran
coni's Partisan Circus, in their palmiest days,
never exhibited such array of diversified enter
tanment as the programme pointed out was last
night: and tunlke the managers of those far
famed places of amusement Messrs. Spalding 4
Rogers not only have " the entertainment on the
bills"-it is in the circus.
A startling feature last night was the acrobatic
display, led off by Messrs Siegrist. This alone
would satisfy the most exacting spectator.
Mr.. H:-Day, clown, was in his hey-day of jokes
and jibes surprising great, and made his debut like
a Bashaw and then Prof. Bush, an equilibrium of
much skill, astounded the house with his light
handed abilities.
Signor Antonio too, gave evidence of his artistic
gymnastics, while little Kate Ormond was perfect
equestrian fairy.

The Life and Death of a Miser.

Michael Baird, Cor Bear, as he is sometimes
called) who lives near Little York, Pennsylvania,
was miserable miser. His father left valuable
farm of five hundred acres, in the vicinity of York,
with some farming and household articles. He
kept tavern for q number of years-niarried, and
raised four children. He accumulated an immense
estate which he reserved so tenaciousy that he
never afforded dollar for the education of his
children. He never was known to lay out one
dollar in cash for any article he might be in need
of; he would either do without it, or find some
person who would barter with him for something
he could not conveniently sell for money. He
farmed largely and kept a large distillery, which
he supplied entirely with his own grain. He kept
team for conveyance of his whisky to Baltimore,
where, when he could not sell for money at price
family and tavern. In this way he amassed an
estate worth four hundred thousand dollars.
Such was his attachment to money that he was
never known to credit single dollar to any man.
Upon the best mortgage or security that could be
given he would not lend cent. He never vested
one dollar in public funds, neither would he keep
the notes of any bank longer than he could get
them changed. He deposited his specie in large
iron chest, until it would hold no more. He then
provided strong iron-hooped barrel, which he
also filled. After his death his strong boxes yielded
two hundred and thirty thousand dollars in gold
and silver.
The. e.cause of his death was as remarkable as the
course of his life. A gentleman from Virginia Of
fered him twelve dollars bushel for one hundred
and ten bushels of clover seed; but he would not
do it for less than thirteen dollars and they did not
agree. The seed was afterwards sent to Philadel-
phia, where it was sold for seven dollars per
bushel, and brought in the whole, five hundred
and fifty dollars less than the Yrginan had offered
for it. On receiving an account of his sale, he
walked through his farm, went to his dstillery and
gave directions to his people: he then went to his
