FRIEND BoswORTH The sales
Of cotton to-day have been 2,750
bales, at 241@255c. for ordinary; 264
40263c. for good ordinary: 27c. for
low middIing; 2Sc. for niddling;
market closing firm at these rates.
The inquiry has been fair but factors
have refused to meet the demand lib
orally, unless at advanced rates. The
Liverpool market has been quiet to-
day. Sales, 10000 bales. Prices,
125d. to l21d. for middIing uplandS,
and i23d. to 124d. fer Orleans.
Ali accounts show that the present

Will be short OF last season. therefore

to held still, and they will be able to
get full price for all the present

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS.--OWr
utter abominatiou is typographical
errors. We hate, we lOalhr, we de
teState them; and Yet they viii creep
into or paper sometimes. In all
printing offices there are few short
paragraphs set mp at the very lrst
moment, of which no "proofS are
taken-they are merely read in the
"stick." In this way, a few of some
importance occurred in our last issur.
The types said, "call and. get your

80 cents.' 1t should have been 80,
which is as cheap as melted sand.
In calling attention 10 the notice of

the types made us say the State
Medical Society would meet in
Jackson on the 30th inst. 1t should
have been goth. We hope our

Galen, will take Cue notice and
govern themselves accordingly p" a
few other errors occurred, but they
were of no consequence.

A CoRREcT1oN.-In our endeavor

A CORRECTIONAL our endeavor
last week to give perfectly true
aud correct statement of the losses
sustained By our citizens by the late
fire, it seems we got into a lAuddle.
We have the satisfaction of know
ing, however, that ours was no hap
hazard statement, or guess work,
but was founded on information fnrn-
ished as, through the foreman of this
Office, by the parties themselves.
The loss OF Mosby & Richards was
put down at between. So G0 and
SO, 900" We took the liberty, for
the sake of brevity, TO State it at
So, 500. e
The loss OF G. L. Gross was stated
at 80, 800. -
We stated that the insurance com.
panies had refused to pay these loss
es because they were not by actual
burning. Our friend, Mr.. w. A.
Steele, thinks this statement does
the company of which he is Agent
the Enterprise Fine and Marine In-
surance Company of Cincinnati
great injustice, and has furnished US
with the following statement. as a
correction, which we take pleasure in
publishing:
Mosby & Richards-lOss and damage
by removal-appraisem made
by j. j. Gilman and II. ii Hoft
man, $1,52j 90
Q. l.. Gross--loss and damage by re-
moval--appraiSement made by
Isaac Van Ronile and j. Il. Sher
rard, $3.50 Sc
Goods destroyed and totally
damaged, (this amount
added by the agent,) GO Al
Total $3.50 90
We learn that the above amounts
have been paid, and. parties salts
fed. a.
We remarked in our article,
by way off note, that If parties were
insured, the best way to do would be
to bolt and bar. and "let her rip"
This was, of course, gratuitous on
our part; and we alone are RESPONSE
bic for it. 1t was based upon the
fact that we have been in New Or
leans frequently when a fire was rag
ing in the business part Of the city,
and never yet saw a store opened, or
"a bolt of cloth carried ont. On in
quiring, once, why this wasSo, the au-
swer was that the merchants were in
sured and would not allow mything to
he removed for fear of litigation with
the insurance companies. Ii this is
COOL policy in New Orleans, we can
not see why it IS not sound policy
here. But, of course, it all depends
u pom the terms OF the policy Of inSur
ance. Ii the policy says the insured
party must use all proper diligence
to save his property, why, that is
the contract, and must be complied
with.
We sincerely hope we shall never
have to record another fire in Can
ton; and as to the last fire, We hope
We are done with it forever. Peace
/ to its ashes!
