TRADE.

After several days ofInclement weather
the sun shone out pleasantly today and
gave promise Of q dry spell. It is very
much needed at this juncture as cotton
picking has been greatly retarded since
the change occurred. Our business
thoroughfsres presented quite a lively
appearance, and goods Of all descriptions
were moving about rapidly. Possibly
there is no better sign Of busy times
than to see the drsymen hard at work.
This is the fact at present. The atten-
dance at the Fair was better to-day and
more interest was displayed. There Is
but little change in prices since yester-
day. Clear sides ere firm at IsIaIsJc I;
Mess Pork $50 5O@Ss per barrel. Old
Corn is very scarce and new is not plen-
tiful. We quote it at 709T5c in lots.

We would call the attention Of u
readers to an article OF Cotton, which
will be found On another page.
The Commissary OF Subsistence at st.
Louis, On Friday, purchased nearly bali
q million pounds Of bacsn for shipment
to The plains. A circular says;
This demand Ein continue TO quite q large
amount The Indian difficulties have concan-
trated and VIII concentrate avery large body OF
troops and employees In our Western wllds dur
ing this season, 10 say the least. and the 81
Louis market win be called upon TO supply
them with most Of their provisions. This ere
Rtes an unusual demand in this market. not

COTTON.

Cotton was quiet in Liverpool at the
opening to-day, with sales of 10000
bales-Uplands l03d, Orleans lid. We
received but the one dispatch.
In New York the market opened dull
and nominal. At noon was quiet and
weak, and at the close was weak, but
demand fair-Uplands 25c. Sales 1900
bales.
Several large Gales occurred here to-
day, but at prices still lower than on
yesterday. Buyers seem afraid to oper-
ate in the face OF large receipts at all
the ports, and think that prices must be
lower. Holders have conceded literally
and can see no reason Why, 10 this
market and New York, prices should
give way, daily, while in Liverpool there
has been no change for several days.
Very many Of the orders held here are
limited at such a low figure that no effort
has been made to Gil. 1t will be seen
from the following that quotations are
very irregular, the necessity OF the seller
governing the price in most instances,
while all are disposed to sell SO bales

OFFICE OF THE DAILY APPEAL.(
MEzPHns. October y. 1855.
Gold opened to-dsy in New York al
1851 and closed at 1855, Oar dealers
keep closer to New York quotations in
Of the active counter de-
msnd. We quote at 1349lS5 buying I;
selling at 1S5S1S6c.
City Bonds were excited to-day with
more buyers than at any time since
their issue. Nearly all holders were sp.
preached during the day in q way or
another, and bids were made ranging
from 81 to 523c. We learned of q sale Of
SIC, 600 at 52c, and a bid of 523c on any
amount up to $50, 600. This bid was re-
fused. As none becomes essier out
City Bonds will be sought after IS good
paying investments. AS it is many who
in former times locked their money up
in gold, are now purchasers Of bonds
which pay at present prices nearly II per
cent. per snnum As every foot of real
estate in this city stands pledged for
their redemption, We know Of no better
security, and under that the present up
ward movement has been delayed SO
long and can only account for it by the
dearth of currency which hiss prevailed.
Late in the day 5Sc was offered for a lot,
and refused.
Our banks report an active Exchange
market, both in the offering and demand.
Rates are firm, being ! discount buying
on New York, and all points East, ex-
cept Fall River, which is taken st 5 die
count, selling at par, with an occasional
exception at about discount.
In railroad stocks or bonds there is
almost nothing doing. Holders are gene
rally very firm, and show no disposition
to operate.
City Scrip, like city bonds, look up
wards, and have not yet reached tie
point at which they will probably falter.
1t is likely that taxpayers win be IN
able to get all tkey want by q 1st
proximo, as we do not know Of any
large Gums on the market. That it viii
20 up to 90c we have no doubt. Il is
said that several holders of Scrip are
about to convert into bonds and that
largely interested parties are buying for
that purpose. Be this a it may, u
local finances are wearing a cheerful
aspect, and the day is not far distant
when our city will be able to pay her
current expenses In currency without
hypothecatiDg bonds as has recently been
done. nc was offered freely to-day Oh
any Gums, while sales were made 10
dealers st 7sc. Taxpayers buying at 50
@S5c, but the msjority of brokers are not
selling.
County Warrants are firm, with no
offerings; buying at 6O962ci selling at
63965e.
Police Scrip is firm, and unchanged.
Wall street has been in great excite
ment during the past week, says the
Commercial Bulletin, which has been
one of intense speculative interest, with
prices both Of bonds and stocks pressing
up, sometimes several points In q single
day. The stocks Of some OF the leading
Western roads have reached points never
touched before. There have been few who
dared to sell short for lower prices yet,
but the usual reaction will come with
the usual results OF immense profits to
the professionals, immense commissions
TO the brokers, and immense losses to the
outsiders.

7,ar.. .tock If cotton at a time when II was
tsanch, tha nrice would be much higher,
and S;,hheld their goods from tho market
far the came reason. The course Of events
has heen so opposite to what was anticipa-
ted as to cause great embarrassment, and
hence the prostration Of this important
branch of industry. fs
It is believed, also, that manufacturing
operations can be prosecuted here OF less
expense In other respects than at the
North. Our water power, to which there
is scarcely any limit, is more economical
than steam; and the most desirable sites
may be purchased at cheap rate. And
II is hoped the day may yet come when oil
the water privileges on both the Apo
mattox aud the James will be turned to
profitable account.
In regard to the reported appointment
of tobacco inspectors, nothing definite mas
TRANSFERRED. It is understood that the Go
vernon referred the names to General Scho-
field, and that General Schoaeld placed the
matter In the hands of General Stoneman'
the commandant of this sub-district. There
the case rests for the present. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY stated that General Stoneman says
he will not do anything to preJu-
dice the commercial interests of the
CITY, and it is therefore believed he
will not confirm tho nominees. A part
of the Radical programme was not only to
put new Inspector in each warehouse, but
to require the other inspectors to take the
test oath. AS all of them are disfranchised,
such course would have produced much
confusion. But it can hardly come to that {;
nor is it likely that such an attempt could
succeed. If the worst comes to the worst,
the owners of the warehouses can close
them for thirty days, and then REOPEN them
IS simply repositories of tobacco.

PRACTICAL JOKE ON A Boston LADY
A very extensive practical joke was per-
petrated yesterday on Mrs. Harrison Gray
Otis, lady well known to the world for
her numerous acts of benevolence and
charity. Some wag, it seems, had sent a
large number of bogus invitations to men,
bers Of the haut tom, asking their attend
ance at reception to be given at her resi-
dence, No. Al Mount Vernon street, yes
terday afternoon. Notwithstanding the
severe snow storm, a very large number of
persons responded to this invitation, and
at one time the street in front of her dwell
ing was completely blocked up with their
carriages. But these were not the only
people hoaxed. Innumerable orders were
sent to artisans of all kinds--to plumbers,
painters, carpenters, gas-6tters, etc.-to

CAUGHT A TARTAR.-Theh angers-on who
constitute the audiences of our courts Of
justice are frequently amused by the i'm
pudent slsng-wit of prisoners brought up
for sentence, and these .blackguards are
therefore prone to indulge in such express
sions. One of them, however, got the
worst of the fun the other day in Hartford.
The Judge sentenced him first to thirty
days. Imprisonment for contempt of court ;
whereupon the prisoner remarking that
the Judge was "bully boy" got
sixty days; and further observing, sarcas-
tically, that he'd rather have ninety, OBJ
tanned that increase instantly. This made
him angry, and he attempted to attack the
Judge, who thereupon sent him to Jail for
six months. That fellow will not be likely
to try his humor upon $" the court" in
future, should he again incur the sentence
Of the law.
