there are special reasons for this, our crop
viii come short Of the prevailing estimates.
Second Although the India crop up to last
week has promised well, yet the amount
afloat for Europe to-day from that quarter
is only 100000 bales, against 262, 735 bales
for the same date last year, while the week
ly arrivals at Bombay continue only about
six or seven thousand bales, against about
twenty-five thousand bales during the same
period of 1871. Besides last Friday our
Bombay telegram reported severe storm
in that quarter, from which great damage
was feared, and to-day the accounts contin-
ne unfavorable. E sfk4

it these new uncertainties the present small
stock at Liverpool is rapidly melting away.
To-day Liverpool reports but 365, 900 bales
stock, with 21S,000 bales afoat, against
45S,0O0 bales stock, and 100000 bales aflost
same date last year. The worlds marzets
for goods are also improving; Eastern
stocks, which were heavy, are being worked
off, and the general prospect Of spinners
has become more satisfactory than was re-
ported short time since.
BOMBAY SHIPAENTs.-AccoI ding TO our
cable dispatch received to-day, there have
been 1000 bales shipped from Bombay to
Great Britain the past week and - bales
to the continent, while the receipts at Bonn
bay, during the same time have been 1000
bales. Compared with last year there Is no
change this year in the weeks ship

movement since Jan. 1 now shows a de>
crease in shipments of POI, 900 bales over
the corresponding period of 1871.

An Ancient Bible.

J. W. Bouton, of New York, importer Of
rare and choice books, has, we take It, OBJ
tanned possession of the most unique and
valuable Bible extant in the English Ian
gusge. It is comprised 10 sixty volumes,
imperial folio; occupies seventeen feet of
shelErOom, and is enriched by thirty thous-
and plates, original drawings In oil, water
cOlors, and pencil. 1t is based on the au-
thorized version and tie Apocryphs, with
the notes Of DR.. Kite. This is in three
volumes, and the work, as completed, is
rather series of Bibles than one book.
Apportioned through the sixty volumes
are the greater portion of "Tbe Great
Byhle" of Cranmer. Black letter,
1858. This edition was ordered to
be burnt by Queen Mary, and is of great
rarity. The Bishops Bible" " folio Black
letter, printed by Richard Jugge, 1868.
The Nuremberg Bible of 1916, with curious
old woodeuts, said 10 be the first illustrated
Bible published; Luther's version; the
"Breeches," Basket, and innumerable other
Bibles of early date. The original draw
ings are for the most part by Italian paint
ers, though some are modern. Misssl
paintings from the fourteenth century;
etchings after Rembrandt Raphael, Paul
Potter, CaRot, and others: early woodcuts,
after Durer, Hans Hol0ein, Crsnach, to-
gether with line engravings, and numerous
other artistic illustrations, make up this
magnificent series Of volumes, valued at
Ten thousand dollars. From the earliest
modern history, the Bible has been a
fevorite for the establishment of the artist,
and the present work presents the finest
specimens of the skill of centuries.

NORTH CAROLINA EMIGRANTs-A
SORRY SIGHT.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
DAYTON, Dec. 15.-At noon Saturday an
old covered wagon, drawn by two thinly
Clad men, followed by three women, equal
ly poorly clad and weary, entered our city,
and their story is really sad, and runs about
this way: Their names are Martin; they
have been living In Randolph county, North
Carolina, for many years, and owing to the
rebellion lost all their property, since which
time they have had poor, miserable liv-
ing, 'and determined to leave for Indiana,
where they have relations. They left Ran
dolph county on Oct. 2, with one horse
wagon, scantiy filed with bedding and
household goods, in fact all their earthly
goods. One week ago Tonight their horse
died OF the epizootic, since which time the
men have actually pulled their wagon,
while the women pushed, and upon arriv
ing here were literally overcome with hun
ger and cold and over-exertion. They had
not eaten bite from o'clock last evening
until 2 O'Clock this afternoon, when they
were kindly cared for by Richard Lane,
Esq, Oyerseer of the Poor, who, after pro-
viding them with good dinner, sent them
TO the City Infrmary, where they will re-
main until Monday morning, or until they
gain strength enough to complete their
journey. Mr., Lane also secured for them
another horse, which, it is hoped, will last
them, az least until they arrive at their jonr-
ney's end, which is fifteen miles north of
Indianapolis. The sad sight attracted con-
siderable attention, and passing citizens
contributed Literally in aid of the sufferers.

tatlon TO promiser, and demand upon
the endofser. We are clearly of the Opn-
lou, says the United States Economist and
Dry Goods Reporter, that the extension Of
ne sort In question cannot safely be made,
Tor the simple common-sense reason that
the endorser of time note assumes the
responsibility for specified time. By the
extension of the promiser's time of pay
ment, a new contract is made, with which
the endorser has legally nothing to do,
unless II is made with his consent. Legal
minds have lately had this question under
AMUSEMENT, and have arrived by another
path at the point reached by us.
There are many little points regarding
the management Of collection business
which are constantly coming under discus
sion IN banking and business circles. We
note here as bearing upon this subject:
l. Ii drawee Of draft presented for ac-
eeptance retains it without response for
more than the "a hours allowed by law,
the law deems that he has accepted the
draft and holds him responsible according
ly.
2. In the presentation of paper for ac-
ceptance, the drawee cannot demand that
anything more than description Of paper
be left with him, though as q matter of
courtesy and convenience the original pa
per is generally left where the drawees are
known to be prompt in making returns.
