ON CARONDELET STREET.

Sales of cotton show nearly the same
amounts and similar prices, though their
irregularity simply shows wavering in
their application, as if undecided whether
| to go up or down. Cotton as a business is
| not democratic, as the trading is always
| done within the same circle Outsiders
| take their money and invest in stocks, or
bonds, or real estate, but outsiders have no
cotton proclivities. The contrariety of in
terests are fought, but between individuals
within the same fold; in fact, they might
almost be called the cotton family, and
they all do their negotiations within short
distance of each other. In a business way
they are classed as brothers or cousins,
and no money is paid or no news arrives
for cotton that ever passes from the house
hold in the cotton family. There is a
patriarch at the head, of course, who is
watched by the smaller fry, and whenever
he buys they buy. The word is soon passed
around when patriarch buys or when pa
triarch won't sell, and in either case the
smaller fry buy or hold. We have heard a
name mentioned that the whole family are
interested in. AS he is modest gentle
man it is not proposed to bring him into no
toriety, but such is his Judgment, it is be-
lieved, he could swamp all the factors by a
little loose buying, as they look upon him
as their guide, counselor and friend
Domestic exchange is even tempered, the
demand level, and with no undulations.
Leyee stock is in quotation at s. %.
This is fall. No preferred stock is on the
street.
Pneumatic, far as heard from, like Sir
John Franklin, is dead, all that remains OF
it being few parts Of its skeleton. The
reconstruction of the company did not give
it new lease of life.
Ammonia is offered at $2l; SIS bid, but
no sales.
Money is plenty, and is escaping in all

Blind Tom.

This wonderful pianist will begin series
of concerts at Odd Fellows Hall, mex Mon
day evening. The Savannah Republican
says ofhim:
Tom played before full house last eve
ming. He is a curiosity that seldom fails to
attract wherever he goes; one OF those crea-
lures of unfortunate genius that every one
must see and study. He sang last evening ,t:ni
one Of his plantation melodies, called "That
Welcome Hay" that seemed to tickle the
knights of the third tier exceedingly.
His wonderful feat of playing FISHERS
Hornpipe" with his right hand, yankee
Doodle" with his left, and singing Tramp,
Tramp, Tramp, all at the same tlme . was va
loudly applauded, as it well deserved TO ID, De,
for we know of no other living person who
can do it but Tom.
Toms system Of phonetic spelling was
ludicrous in the extreme. His reDderings
of classical music were good as night before
last. Altogether, Tom Is such prodigy as
one rarely encounters twice in life time,
and all who have not seen him should ell
brace the opportunity at once.

placed many great men in singularly
awkward and even suspicious situations.
The latest instance is a short chapter in
the history of John Taylor. He'was on the
steamboat Thirteenth Era, and while think
ing OF nothing in particular nor something
in general, gently slid one OF his cunning
hands into the pocket Of coat hanging
on the wall, and the coat did not belong to
him passenger, full of interference,
made bold to question Taylors right to
