Tbe above barely shows the extreme variations
for the year referred to-, but the movement
throughout was Of an irregular and unsatlsfaetory
character from the opening to the close. opera
tons up to the present date this year disclose less
violent alterations In rates, but the market has
been, nevertheless, considerably exercised from
the opening Of the season to the present date.
With an extinction of the internal revenue tax OF
2sc y d, which took place September LIST. and
wild estimates of the maturing crop which,
though forwarded totheir principals In Europe by
fever seen q cotton bloom or cotton neld) there
was q general indispostion at the opening OF the
season to purchase, especially for the transat-
lantic markets, except at exceedingly reduced hg-
ures. A better kno Wedge of the condition OF the
growing crop has since obtained, however,
and as most cotton planters have am
ply supplied themselves this year with
cereals and other neccessaries OF LIE,
thereby becoming enabled to dispense with that
old curse, advance for food and raiment, the ext
pepcies to sell cotton, which Is now looked upon
al the surplus of their crops are not Of charac-
Ter to prompt justify heavy sacrifices in prices.
Rates will fuctuate, however, In accordance with
the variations in exchange. and at times under
other influences. but that the ridiculous proceed
inps of last year shall be again enacted on this
side of the Atlantic we have no apprehension
although the present cable may be wholly subsi
died in favor Of some prominent operators and
the French cable be never made q success. As az
evidence of the more uniform movement 10 the

Newman, coored, charged with participating
in the above mentioned THEFT
Hugh Strider, for breaking into and robbing
the agricultural store of Capt. Herbert Bryant,

Ice IN THE CUTTERS those of the water
renters in the city, who love their neighbors as
themselves, would pay some little attention to
their hydrants, and not let them run unneces.
sariy long, the cutters would not now be tuIl OF
ice; nor would people advanced in years stand
50 much chance of being rendered lame for the
rest of their lives, by slipping and falling while
crossing the steets. 1t would seem to one who
never has to use hydrant that it would be
very little trouble to turn the water off when
the bucket was full, but perhaps to one versed
in domestic economy the difficulty is greater
than at first sight appears.
