very comfortable, in fact he may be
called independent, as everything he
stands in need of is produced on the

ductive. He brought up this time
to pay expenses some $500 worth Of

THE PIcEIc YEsrERDAY.-The picnic
under the auspices Of the Christian Doc
trine Association, was a decided success
Father Rotchford originated it for the
enjoyment Of the little folks Of st. Peters
Church, all the arrangements for their
comfort being made that was possible,
and right we'll did they take advantage Of
the occasion, il their bright eyes, ami
mated countensnees and lively move
ments were any criterion to judge by.
An excellent band, led by Prof Arnold,
provided music for the occasion, and the
pleasures of the dance were kept up
until near shutdown. Many Of the rela-
tives and friends of the little ones parti'
eipated in the festivities, and everybody
seemed to enjoy themselves.

Monetary and Commercial
Cotton Market.

The demand this morning, like that of yes
terday. is small, and'eonfned principally to the
better grades, while the stock of good cotton on
hand is small and being rapidly diminished.
The further gloomy accounts from Liverpool
create still greater depression here. Factors
cannot sell at over p cents for middling, while
buyers are not plenty. Receipts yesterday, 25s
bales. The failure of Watts. Crane Il Co..
New York, one of the largest cotton houses in
the country, creates uneasiness and distrust in
commercial circles. while business men look
very gloomily at the prospect of the future.
