Mr. D. s Reynolds, No. 20 Front street.
yesterday sold 2S,0oo bushels Of corn. at
from 20 to IS cents, with 80 DAYS to deliver
IN The buying price is about sc cents.
We hear Of q variety Of complaints in
reference to the steali8gs Of cotton while in
tr4nsiiu to the seaboard as well as at the
port OF delivery while being handled, espe-
eially n the process Of mending or "pateh-

VIC hear OF one notable instance vhere .he
loss amouuted TO 20 pounds per bale.
most extraordinary case Of pilferinrt
In New York this great loss 10 the own
ers # cotton is mainly attributed TO the fact
that cot on is chiefly handled in The street ~
On the sidewalk, many Of the insurance
companies refusing to issue 4 poliev
upon any warehouse Were the picking or
iaendiag is al owed, and thus compelling
the owner 20 euInbsr the thorourh,af are with
d business which seriou ~ interfsres with
the regular use Of these Highways. Tho
general impression is that the emit. g loss
owing 10 this street exposure, and comes ex-
clusively from the gangs Of children which
throng scout the cotton aud ply lheir yoea-
lion ia spite Of The vigilance or both the
w5rkmen and The police.
The NeW 4rok Journal Of Commerce says
they have sufficient evidence to sbow tbst
TINS impression is not well founded II
says The children and cher Eagabopds
are yigiiant and impudent, bat some sf the
heaviest losses reported to US can be traced,
as We are informed, directly to some Of the
hands employed by the operator in the
work OF picking aud mending. The bad
condition in which the shipments Of cotton
have srrIved during the last wear has called
Tor strong foEce Of this class Of workmen;
and a large number, including some dis
reputable persons, have bJen added to the
original gangs nov engaged in this service.
III the work could be transferred to the
interior OF warehouses, a. we think IA should
be, 8 large part Of this loss, from whatever
cause, would be prevented. A dishonest
workman could readily be detected in any
attempt 10 remov bis plunder, while the
children aud other street and deck thieves
could be denied tccess to the cotton, and
thus hindered from plying their vocation.
The whole subject is worthy Of careful al
tenton, as these losses, il they are to con-
uluo, VIII seriously injure the trade Of the
