The main obstacle in the way of an active
market consists in the factors. who are act
ing on the suppositon of great rise in cot
ton. and who, consequently, will not yield
to the coaxing of buyers. That they will
hold fast there is little doubt-hold as long
as they can, unless, like the youth who held
on to the top of the Natural Bridge in Viz
ginia, either gravitation or buttery fingers
force let-go. The unwillingness of buyers
to purchase, coupled with the feeling OF fac
tors, has made the cotton wagon q stand
stlll-the wheels up to the ruts, and the
driver refusing to whip up the horses. The
foil owing, it is believed. are the ruling rates
that close the week of inactivity:

JEwELRY RECovERED.-In the early part
of February burglars entered the dwelling
of Mr. Shute, corner of Milan and Pitt
streets stealing lot of jewelry. Metro
politau detectives suspected Charles A.
williams, but they could not tasten the
crime on him to their satisfaction, though
they did not sleep. During the month
letter came from New York, from respon-
sible person there. who furnished the I'M
portant information that a book had passed
through that postotiice from New Orleans,
but as there was something suspicious
about it. competent person tore OF the
wrapper, when he was well rewarded tor
his curiosity. A portion of the leaves had
been scooped out, the vacancy being filled
with fine jewelry, with note indicating
that Williams had forwarded the package
to one of his friends in New York. The
baubles were described, which correspondent
with Mr. Shutes description, and the case
began to find shape. Captain Malone did
not sleep until he found Williams, who is
now under arrest, and the circumstances
combined will assist in sending accused to
the Penitentiary. The book and the singu-
lar reading matter have arrived and are
now in Superintendent Badgers possession.
Times are growing lively for professional
thieves.

man of many parts, ready with an answer
for all who question him. Free dodgers
have civen him and his assistant, Turnkey
Lynch, considerable annoyance during the
past season. Some of the tribe-able- bodied
men-call night after night, to sleep in
cold cell, occasionally filling every available
bunk. Friday night there was a rush OF
free dodgers, and when the place was full
regular customer arrived, rather late. Mr..
Whlpple informed him that the ordinary
rooms were all occupied, and, therefore, he
would be compelled to give him the judges
room, politely showing him into the large,
bare hallway, telling HIM to choose his bed
the unswept floor. Bidding him formal
good night, the clerk returned to his desk,
but instantly stepped back, and, with mock
solemnity, requested the ledger to ring in
case he desired anything during the night.
