A Boston journal OF last evening says I'D reIerenc


to the stringent condition of the money MARKET
Money is every tght' to-day, and this unpleasant
fact is so palpable that friendly attempts are made
TO disguise pallate 1t In financial quarters. The
applications for pecuniary accommodation arc
numerous and earnest at all the banks and other
sources Of supply but lenders are unable TO satisfy
the wants OF borrowers, however willing they may
be TO accept the comparatively high rates OF interest
which have been established for loans on approved
collateral security and for discounts OF prime CON-
mercia notes and accsptanceS.
commercial weekly thus refers to the cotton
movement at all the ports Tor the week ending
October 3O:--
Tho total receipts for the last seven days have
reached Co. 500 bales against $500 bales last Week.
51,091 bales the previous week and 44.676 bales
three weeks sinceI making the aggregate receipts
since September 1863 up to this date, 1T bales,
against 49,, 1903 bales for the same period IN 1867,
being an excess this season over last season OF
137, 734 bales.
The exports for the week ending tonight reach
total OF 80 III bales, Of which 94S5 were to Great
Britain and TO- $3.50 bales to the Continent, while the
stocks at all the ports made up this evening are
now l54,271 bales. Below we give the exports and
stocks for the week and also for the corresponding
week OF last season. telegraphed to US by our own
correspondents at the various ports Tonight

From the foregoing statement it will be seen that,
compared with the corresponding week OF last sea-
son. there is in the exports this week OF
1s947 bales, while the STOCKS tonight are bales
more than they were ut this time year ago.
The same journal thus speaks Of the dry goods
trade Of the city during the week.
The dry. goods market continues 70 present the
same quiet appearance as reported for the past two
weeks, but this period OF comparative mac
tiviy, having been foreseen by the trade, has had
no material effect in reducing the range OF values,
and great change be expected until the Presi.
Dental contest Is decided. In the course of next
week q revival OF activity is confidently expected
the stock In Dealers hands Is not large and the pre-
sent seasOnable weather must have caused mate
rial distribution OF staple fabrics; should this antici
patton not be realized we may see o somewhat
irregular market for the remainder OF the season,
ss, under the disturbed financial situation, there may
be pressure realize ut still lower prices There
ls nothing in the state OF business at the present
moment. however to impair conference.-the con-
servative feeling that has prevailed causing mcr-
chants 10 carry light stock as possible, precludin2
any violent spasms in the trade. IT, therefore, prices
should yield point, 1t viii be from the desire not TO
carry over large stocks OF goods, aud the present
stocks VIII be readily absorbed by the home trade
without export demand.

hearing the testimony of some ten OF

the case by stating that the assault was
clearly proven, but that Brady should
follow up Sweeney some eight or ten

he made any demonstration, he was
obliged to fine Sweeney $40 and cost.
