but as to how the extent covered could
/ be arrived at, and in what manner it
should be paid. In the first the value
was RsceItalned through the table of ex-
( pectsucy; in the second Ii was decided
that the contract with the agent was net
divisib'e, and that, dedscting costs Of
collection, forfeitures, Losses etc, be was
entitled to the amount of renewals guar
anteed by the table of expectation.
1t is an interesting and important de-
cisiOn to both age nts and companies, and
establishes a precedent upon equitable
and approved principles.
There has been some complaint OF the
mixture of flour and corn meal which
has found its way South from the mills of
the Northwest and sold as flour. In ref
ereDce to this swindle the following has
just passed the Boston Corn Exchange,
unanimously:
WHEREAS, 1t lie known that the prsc-
tice of mixing corn with wheat and
grinding the same into -four at the West,
and sending it to Eastern markets, has
of late become quite general, causing
great irregularity in quotations from day
to day, and tends directly to damage the
reputation of American flour abroad,
and if continued to be received and sold
under eur Corn Exchange standard ofin-
spection must seriously damage our trade
and the public confidence in our inspec-
ton, it is hereby
ResOtUed, That the inspectors Of flour
shall not knowingly brand with their in
speetiOn stamps any -four containing any
mixture OF other grain than wheat, under
penalty to make good any damage or
loss that may thereby occur to the buyer
on account of said adulteration and in
spection.
Cotton was buoyant in Liverpool at
the opening to-day Uplands lid, Or
leans lid. AT noon prices were better
and market more active; Uplsnds 1lsd,
Orleans 1Isd. 1t closed firmer, with
sales Of 10000 bales; Uplands liz to
II3d, Orleans lls to 115d. Sales for the
week, $4,000; for export, 1900; to
spectators, 1900; stock, 10000, of
which 364 600 is American stock float,
56l 600, of which 1000 is American.
In New York at the opening the de-
mand was fair and prices higher; Low
Middlings cole; Middlings 31e; Orleans
3I9c; Good MiddIings S2!c. At noon
the market was active at Sic for Mid
dIings, closing with fair demand and
prices firm. Sales 1000 bales. Our mar
ket presents the same features which
characterize it always on a rising mar
ket. Holders ask New York rates full
up, or within 1c of them, and are not
anxious 10 sell even then. Buyers are
too scarce, however, aud tables too seat
tering to create anything like feeling
Of competition. We quote the market
quiet but firm, with holders asking soc
for Middlings.

We have no sales of wheat to report
since yesterday, but several lots are
looked for tonight. We would advise
our dealers to send in what they have to
spare as soon as possible, or at least part
Of it, as the tendency in the up country
markets is decidedly dOwnwards, and
prices will rule lower than at present for
some weeks to come. The st. Louis mar
ket will, We think, range at sbont 81 to
, % during the next few months. We
quote at 50 in this market for good mer-
charitable.
