WEDNESDAY EVENING. January g. 1872.
There Is still a very stringent feeling in
money, though the market is hardly as
tight as yesterday. AT bank the applica-
tons Tor discounts were numerous, but on
the street the offerings of Al paper were
smaller, borrowers appearing unwilling to
put out more OF their paper than possible,
until after the fourth. The pressure for
money on the fourth, it is said, will hardly
be SO great as anticipated, many borrow
ers having so arranged that their notes will
fall due on the eighth and ninth. We
quote as approxlmatlng figures 4 a y e
cent = month for Al notes with unques
tionable collaterals, and = for good, and 4
for Al with undoubted collaterals, and III
for good but not Al.
Gold opened at 1895 a 1895 against
l09l4 at New York;, and closed at I09 q
l09l4 against 1922. The sales included
$500 at l09; $4,000 at l09l8; $4,000 at
100 3-l6; $4,000, $4,000 and $1,000 at
l09A; $1,000, $1,000, $4,000, $4,000 $4,000 and
$4,000 at l098s; $40, 900 at l09L4 a l09l2, and
$1,000 at l09+s.
We note a sale of $1,000 in American silver
half dollars at 1882. We quote los q 1882
for these. and -. Q2l4 T. cent premium in
gold for Mexican dollars.
The movement in foreign exchange was
still larger. but the market showed more
irregularity, closing at a decline OF barely y
+ cent. The sales of sterling embraced
tl3i.000, of which $4,000 and $500 bill of
lading at ll712; tlj00. $4,000, t7500, $4,000
and 5000 at ll758: $4,000 clear at III p a
ll15s: $500 clear, and s3J00, $1,000 and
$1,000 clear at il134; f37 900 Al bill Of
lading and clear at ll7;i. a liz 81 $4,000 at
ll73. a H. -; $1,000 Al clear at III Is;
elO.000 Al bill of ladng and clear at
ll7a4 Ills; elo,000 Al bill of ladins and
clear, and $4,000 private bankers at llS,
and 5000 private bankers at lisa llS.s.
In francs IL, 900 commercial sold at 4.92l2,
and ~, 00O at 1919. We now quote sterling
at Jl7l2 4 HIS for good to Al bill OF ladlEg
and clear, and - 1888 for bank.
Domestic exchange was rather heavy in
the morning bat closed a shade better.
The banks drew on New York at 5 t cent
discount for remittance, and the sales IN
cluded $4,000 private bankers New York
sight and $4,000 and $4,000 bank and
private bankers at u discount; $1,000
and $4,000 bank and private bankers
$4,000 private ban kers and S20,060 bank
at $. $4,000 and 900 and $4,000 com
mercial 50, 900 bank and private bankers
and $4,000 bank at b.
The sales of stocks included l@6 shares
Louisiana Levee at So, 20 Crescent City
SlaughterhOuse at SlS. and 10 Orleans Rail
road at 500, with dividend
$1,000 city ten t. cent bonds sold at 80.
$1,000 city appropriation certificates 6bl2,
and $1,000 State warrants at %
We omitted to mention last evening that
the Southern Bank had declared a dividend
of five per cent from the profits OF the past
SIX months, payable on the eighteenth in
slant. We notice that Mr. George Jonas
has been rc-eit ctcd president of the Canal

What are Dreams 2

Deeply buried beneath its Opaque and slug |
gish veil of flesh the soul carries on its multta-
rious operations without cessation. Dreaming
is when, by some cause, a part of the veil is
lifted, or a mOmentary perfOratiOn made in the
mask, so that a glimpse OF the interior actlvl-
ties shines through and fastens clcw on the
outer world for waking recollection to seize.
Hazlitt eloquently asserts this theory in his
Round Table" 1t is now the popular the
ory propounded by most writer's on the subject
But it is a hypothesis more recondite than Is
warranted by the facts. No proof has yet been
advanced reaching to so remote conclusion.
That bodies throw off ghosts, which assail the
soul and produce perceptions, is puerlle
though interesting device Of the early cropping
of speculation That guardian angels and
tempting devils mould our sleeping fantasies is
figment of superstition. That the mind never
rests from it's abors is a metaphysical concelt
unsustained by adequate authority We are
therefore to reject these three theories of dream
ing, and seek some simpler statement, more in
conSOnance with nature and reason. Though
| there is ample evidence to demonstrate that we
| frequently dream without retaining any remem-
brance of the dream, it by no means follows
that we never sleep without dreaming And,
! indeed, on all physiological grounds the prOba-
bilities seem irresistible that in healthy and
perfect sleep the mind is without the slightest
| touch or GUNNER or dream. n series OF
images or perceptions may be caused in us by
outward influences producing sensations, by III
ward operations summOning up ideas, or by the
two, conjoined, constituting more complex
mental action. When awake we spontaneously
discriminate between these two with distinct
ness, and have power in degree to order them
at our will. But when we are asleep we know
no difference between external influences and
internal operations. Then our experience is
entirely at the mercy Of fortuitous causes and
the law of association. In our sleep one faculty
or sense may act alone; but in our waking state
they act, as it were, simultaneously, correcting
or confirming each other. In dreaming, the
mind for the most part furnishes its own mate
rial; in wakefuness, Nature conformity furnishes
it. There the action is recollection and ar
rangement; here it is perception and assmila
ton. When the sleep is complete we do no
dream at all. When the senses are closed, bu
the mind partially wakes, we dream, but retaiI
no memory of it. When our sleep is so super
} fetal or disturbed that it is accompanied b!
sensations, however fragmentary or vague
traces of these sensations left on the brain sug
gest the associated dream to us when we awake
) or perhaps long afterwards Such is the mos
rational account as it has been developed o
late by several authors.
Smyrna times., 1872-09-11

NARROW STREETS. English journals,
criticising American cities say that New York
ought to have narrower streets, with higher
houses, as protection against the excessive
heat of the sun. The Washington Star, con
sdering these remarks as slur upon that city
of magnificent distances, asserts that Wash
ington, with the thermometer up among the
uineties, has very few cases of sunStroke, and
as reason for this exemption gives the fact
that the wide streets are open to every breeze
that blows Boston. with its narrow streets it
