reasons which account for this
state of affairs. In the first place,
the planters have been busy
picking during the very favor
able weather which prevailed until
recently. OF late, however. there have
been storms and rains which have proba-
bly, extended throughout the cotton grow
ing district, and such periods are chosen
to clean out and ship the cotton which
has been accumulated in the gin-houses.
We may, therefore, expect an increase in
the receipts, consequent on this cause.
Another reason which has hitherto in
fuenced the planters to hold back their
cotton is the hope Of speedy ter1nina-
ton of the European war, and rise in
the price Of the staple. But this cause
must soon cease to operate. The crops
must be sent forward to meet outstanding
obligations, and to enable the planters to
prepare for the next seasons operations.
To wait longer for an event upon which
no reasonable calculation can be based
would be the height of folly; and, accord
ing to present appearances, there IS more
likelihood of continuance of the
war far into the winter months than OF a
peace sufficiently speedy to benefit the
planters. Hence, by persisting in hold
ing back their cotton, they not only IN
fict serious injnry on the commercial
classes-which must, in turn, react on
themselves, when they come to ask ac-
commodations and advances-but they
run the risk of lower prices even than
those now ruling. It is to be hoped that
this view of the case will be accepted by
the planters sooner, rather than later, and
that we may reasonably anticipate relief
from the pressure under which the COM
munity is now suffering u
Among the topics Of conversation on
Carondelet street, yesterday, was a con-
templated fusion of two banlzs-the leu
tonia and the Lafayette. The terms OF
the combination have not been made
public; but it is known that the new in
stitution will, be organized under the
national banking law.
In mentioning, yesterday, the affairs of
the Union Bank, we spoke Of the meeting
Of Monday night as meeting of direc-
tors, when we meant to say that it was a
meeting of shareholders. We under
stand that the number of shares necessary
to give efficacy to the proposed pro-
gramme has been nearly made up, and it
is expected to be completed within a very
few days.
Nothing remarkable characterized the
market yesterday. Slaughterhouse seemed
to be little stronger; 100 shares were
sold in the morning at SIT ~. After that
time a higher price was demanded, and
some small lots changed hands at ST 25
and SIT so.
The following were the offerings and
bids at the Board last night:

Notwithstanding the Internal Revenue
Bureau, in answer to many inquiries, has
published all over the country the fact that
the act Of Congress of July IA, 1870, did not
repeal the tax on gas, still letters are pour
ing into that Office daily asking whether the
tax referred to WAS not repealed. The com
missioner states again that the ninety
fourth section of the act Of June 80, 1864,
relating to gas is not repealed in the late
law of Congress nor in any other enactment
of that body. The tax on gas is not tax
ON sales. but a tax on manufactures.

THE COOLIE APPETITE.

At the Tuesday night session of the
Common Council was submitted petition
from Lee-Fouk-Wing, in relation to the
superfuous dogs of our city.
The plea of political economy is the
special point that Wing makes against the
destruction by ordinance of the poor
brutes, but he does not forbear to mention
the ''river of compassionate tears in my
eyes" We are inclined to think that
Wings mouth waters more than his eyes,
and that his motive is not wholly foreign
to fricasseed puppy and roast mastiff
Wing proposes not only to relieve the city
of the inhuman labor of Draining the
poor canine waits, but to pay fifteen cents
in Chinese silver for each and every one
on delivery. We mean by the city, for it
is scarcely possible to estimate the rapid
growth of such Industrious breeds. The
dogs will then be transported in one sense,
at least, across the river to the plantation
Of the 'sGreat Mandarin Cakes Ames,"
but whether their final end will be one
over which they may joyfully wag their
tail, does not appear. We suspect, how
ever, that their choral bark will be heard
but for few short hours, and that yelled
in fragrant mists of steam, and pillowed
upon snowy rice, they will be speedily
welcomed to bowels of Celestial compass
sion. To import Coolies as channels to
work off all the loose hydrophobia va
grant about our highways, strikes US as
AN advanced point in political economy, to
which none but Chinese civilization
might attain, and We shall venture to in
corporate the idea in our next party plat
form. Its propriety might be regarded as
a bone of contention-only by the dog
himself As Christian community, we
have too long dealt in guile with him
our intolerance has belied our pretensions
to civil liberty. We have hurled the petu-
liant boot jack-given expression to the
vindictive swear, and dropped the insidi-
GUS sausage TO be able to forego these
sins in the future by renting the inno-
cent cause.-The forlorn ''purp"-to the
warm receptacle Of Coolies stomach,
will promote q new era Of municipal vir-
tue, with the additional advantage of
fifteen Chinese cents per dog. The
Coolies gain in scents by the purchase
will scarcely prove our loss.
Administrator West moved to refer the
proposition, as to matter hitherto known
only to the East, to his Honor the Mayor,
thus delicately rendering compliment to
one of those wise men, who invariably
come from the East. Nothing was
offered in the petition for the occasional
collar that might be found on the vagrant
animal, but the Mayor seemed to exhibit
a little at. Mr.. Vests proposition. In
fact, he showed warmth, which, con-
sidering the bleak weather, must have
kept him quite comfortable. Mr.. Vests
motion, however, was only pleasant
little joke, and no doubt the Mayor really
SO appreciates it. The petition is prob
ably faithfully translated in the main-its
terms are certainly broken-China, and
quite as ornate as any other.
