The market closed weak yesterday,
with sales of 5000 bales. To-day, owing
to the nnfavorable and depressing news
from New York and the foreign market,
there is a light demand only, and that at
reduced prices. Sellers are rather anx-
ious to realize, but unwilling to make
the concessions demanded by some of
the buyers; they would, however, accept

A Look AHEAD. The Washington CORE
spondent of the New York Herald, under the
date of the 28th, writes as follows
The republican Senators and members who
have remained here over the recess have
had ample time to discuss the prospects of
the party for the next Presidential election in
connection with recent events. There is no
Disgusting the fact that the majority of them
are Respondent, and especially the ex-
experienced politicians who are in the habit
of looking ahead. They concede that the
South, with the exception, perhaps, of South
Carolina. is hopelessly democratic, and that
whoever may be the democratic candidate in
1872 will get the full Southern vote, with the
above exception. To overcome this it will
be necessary for the republicans to carry all
the great States of the North including
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The first
and the last are doubtful, and the leaders OF
the Republican party are of the opinion that
even with Grant as candidate nothing can
save them but the blunders of the democracy.
Should the democrats put forward candidates
with good record and decent platform
there seems to be little doubt of their sue
success.

A LONG TRIP. The schooner Elizabeth, OF
Rockland arrived at this port yesterday afternoon
in twentv-one days from New York. She is loaded
with corn, on which we understand the insurance
has been collected, the vessel having been given up
for lost The wind blew continually off shore, and
the Elizabeth encountered six different gales, and
was blown off as many times. One time she drifted
back as far as Cape Cod, after having made Segun.
The sufferings of the crew were terrible. The YES
sci is much shattered by its prolonged conflict with
old Neptune but the cargo is in toerable condition.
The safe arrival of the Elizabeth is all the more
gratifying, because a vessel with which she came
in collision, reported her lost. In the time she
