NEW YORK, February ls.-The receipts
from all ports for the week are g, 9G6 bales,
against 1896 last week, 92,6SS the pre-
vious week, and l20,Sl3 three weeks since.
The total receipts since September are
2,O91, l96 bales against 2, 653 ,339 for the cor
responding period of the previous year.
The exports for the expired portion Of the
year are 1921 74 bales, against $40, 1888 for
the same time last year. The stock at all
ports is 500, 939, against 7O9, 033for the same
date last year.
The stocks at interior towns are SS.057
bales. against l23,S97 bales last year. The
stock in Liverpool is 535, 900 bales, against
100000 last year. The American cotton
af1oat for Great Britain is 203, 600 bales,
against 295, 900 last year. The Indian cot
ton afoat for Europe is 100000 bales,
against l43, 49j last year
Cotton declined early in the week, and
the market was dull, but later the decline
was recovered and business became more
active. The sales for the week reached
100000 bales, of which 9t,5O0 were TOR tu-
ture delivery and $500 ON the spot and to
arrive. OF the spot cotton, exporters took
about 1926 bales, spinners $3.50, and specu-
lators 375.
Hog products have been firm for lots on
the street. but heavy for future delivery
Beef products have been more active, while
dairy products have been dull. In tobacco,
the business has fallen OFT, but extreme
prices are still asked by holders. Whisky
and hay have declined Hop and tallow
have been active at full prices. Wool has
been in active demand and higher quota
tons have been made for some descriptions
Naval stores have been, firm with further
advance in spirits. Oil and petroleum have
been firm, with more business in the latter
Otherwise, domestic products have been
generally quiet and without any important
features.
The domestic markets have been free
from excitement, and in some of the lead
ing staples tirmer feeling has prevailed,
although business generally has been on a
moderate scale. There has been less dis
cussion in regard to the Alabama question,
and the result of this is reelected in more
settled feeling in the different markets.
At the Produce Exchange the breadstutfs
market has improved slightly for flour and
wheat, but the coarse grains have been
heavy, and prices are lower. Exporters
purchased little more freely of flour and
wheat. At times there was some specula-
tive feeling. The general disposition OF
holders to reduce stocks before the opening

ST. CHARLES STREET,
New Orleans, February 10, 1872
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:
Will you have the kindness to inform US
why his honor, Benny Flanders, our Mayor
and the first of the kind, still persists in
keeping the north and south gates to La
fayette square locked, thereby compelling
visitors to go all the way around to Camp
street in order to enter the square. Is ii
for the reason that he is afraid our dresses
may come in contact with and soil the
scantling which adorns the inclOsure, OF
that we would pluck an occasional flower
as we entered the square from either the
north or south gates, which are yet kept
locked with an old pair of rusty handouts
We now inform his honor, Benny, dis
tinctly, that if those old rusty handouts are
not removed from those gates at once, a
committee of ladies will 60 to Lafayette
square and break Benny's handouts of
from the gates with their parasols, and if he
attempts to interpose We will put the hand
cuffs to more proper use.

Theodore Thomas Grand Concert.

Theodore Thomas and his grand orchestra
made their bow before New Orleans au-
dience last evening to one of the largest and
most fashionable audiences that has ever
gathered in odd Fellows Hall.
The concert was opened with the overture
from "Tannhauser." The piece was ad-
mirably executed. The was an allegretto,
eighth symphony. composed by Beet
hoven. This was followed by a
concerto symphonique No. 4, op. I02,
on the piano, Miss Marie krebs executing
this difficult piece with grace and ease. She
has the facility of making all the difficulties
vanish with her fairy fingers. But the
GROWING piece of the evening was the per-
Torrance of the wedding March," from
"Midsummer Nights Dream" by that grand
old author, Mendelssohn. Thispiece requires
careful study and practice, and it is well
known to our music-loving public as one of
the most beautiful and substituting pieces
that Mendelssohn ever composed.
In part second, Rossinis William Tell
was rendered in an able manner, but the
most exquisite performance Of the evening
was the serenade "Tarantelle di Bravura,'
the music commencing in an almost in
audible whisper, which is increased to a
murmur, and for nearly five minutes tie
listener is enraptured, and as it is waited
into dreamland, lost to all consciousness, one
ina gines himself suddenly transported into
bower of fairies, SO enchanted and enrap-
tured is he; but the music slowly increased,
the senses are awakened only to be again
thrown into the ecstacy Of joy by the grand
finale. The audience, for moment after
the completion of the selection, seemed
spell-bound; not motion, not whisper;
but all at once there was such an outburst
of enthusiasm that was not only confined to
the clapping of hands, but through the
agency Of their mouths they attested their
appreciation in long and continued shouts
and the performance was repeated.
