COMMERCIAL.

THURSDAY EVENING. November d, 1870
CorroN-The sales to-day summed up $50
bales, at prices generally in favor of factors,
but requiring no change in quotations,
which we repeat, as follows: Ordinary
l2k l3ksc: good ordinary l4ss q l4aac:
low middling Is a15Ac; middling 151a a
1885, strict middling 15A a l5zsc, and good
middiing l61s @l6Ac. Yesterdays business
was 1850 bales, including 4l0 sold after the
close.
In giving the above.it is proper to add
that there was but little low middling to be
had at l5c, and that strict low middling and
middling sold in some cases lsc above the
outside quotations given. Strict good ordi-
nary to low middling sold at l47s and l5c.
Although we were deprived by the New
York telegraph operators of our usual tele-
gram from Liverpool, which, we presume.
they could have sent us just az well as the
political news, yet the demand was fair
throughout the day, and the indications
were that the sales would have been to an
increased extent had the supply been more
copiOus.

THE BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE.

Persons who have been at Rome will
remember that the charge for a south
side room is nearly double that for one
of northern exposure. This is the re-
suit of practical fact impressed npOn
the minds of the people from the OBJ
servation of centuries, that sunshine is
healthful; and yet very few New Y ork-
ers seem to have arrived to that height
of intelligence. Read over the adver-
tisements any day for furnished rooms,
and the indispensable requisite, next to
"a high-stoep, brown stone, west side,
is that il shall be n front room it may
front pig-pen or plank-yard, a stable
or a steameFy, all the same, only if it is
a ssfront room" to overlook the street
as if we would die if we couldn't see
something; as il there was nothing to
do but to sit at the window, aud gaze at
tine passers-by by the hour.
A New York merchant noticed that
all his book-keepers became consump-
tive in a few years. and died. One day
it occurred to him it might be the result
of their occupying q room where the
sunshine never entered, in consequence
OF high walls; next day he gave his
clerk . sunshiny room, and never had q
consumptiye book-keepcr afterward.
Another New York merchant placed
his son on beautiful improved FARM in
Illinois. The best upper room of the
house overlooked the prairie Three
years later that son returned to New
York an invalid-the cough. the hectic.
the deathl On close inquiry, he stated
to the physician that be ALWAYS found
his clothing damp and mouIdy. "Did
the sun ever shine in your room 2" aNo
sir; it was on the north side of the
house.
