C1TY YERANCES-lMPORTANTTO ~ lAA-IAfEhss-
The recent change in the Mayoralty caused
slight depression in city stock, but the rigor
ous policy pursued by the present incumbent,
and his evident intention to better the muni-
cipal finances, created o healthy reaction, and
city securities are now daily appreciating.
Mayor Cogswell is determined to keep the
wheels of the city government in motion, and
he knows that the only n notiye power is green
backs. Taxes are due the city, and they must
be paid, or the defaulters will suffer. The last
tax bill made no provision for further interest
accruing IN back debts, but arranged that the
taxes are to be paid in Ti-annual instalments.
The first of these falls due this month, and if
the taxpayers respond promptly, about $780,
600 will be received. A large portion of this
sum will doubtless bo paid in city bills, but
sufficient quantity Of greenbacks will be Sc
cured to keep the municipal machine in run
ming order. City bills are now almost as scarce
as the mythical hens teeth, and it is conf
dently expected that the entire circulation will
be called in during the present month. The
various taxes that will be paid in March will
amount in the aggregate to considerable
sum; but the terms are Low as fixed as the
laws of the Medes and Persians-cash up, or
property sold by the sheriff. The latter func-
tionary has received strict orders to levy on all
defaulters, and if the money is not forthcom-
ing this week, large sale will be announced
in Mondays NEWS. All who dislike such news
paper notoriety, should commence the study
Of finance Immediately, and try to raise the
wind.

QUE COTTON Market Cotton yesterday was
quiet and prices somewhat lower. 1t must not
be forgotten that Charleston is in advance
of the Liverpool prices. Cotton bought
at Is cents here must bring 1Oid. in Liy-
.erpool to clear waste, commissions on the
other side, freight and general expenses. Cotton
bought at 26 cents must realize about lid. to
bring the purchaser out without loss.
The fact Of quotations here being higher
than corresponding quotations in Liverpool is
accounted for by the belief that prices are still
advancing, this belief being based upon gene
raj information as to the Southern crop pros
poets which has not yet been received in Eng
land but which is current on this side.
