Tho Cotfnn Increment.

The Nelg York Financial Chronicle has
returns from the Southern ports, showing
the receipts exports, etc, of cotton for the
week ending Dec. u. 1t appears that the
total receipts for the seven days have reach
ed 1890 bales against l70,0S4 bales last
week, 1913, $40 bales the previous week, and
1886 bales three weeks since making the
total receipts since the first Of September,
1873, 1923, 1S9 bales against !, 40l ,232 bales
for the same period of 1872, showing a
decrease since Sept. ], 1873, Of 7S,043
bales. The exports for the week ending
same date reach total of 7T,l55 bales, of
which 3S,3O7 bales were to Great Britain,
1881 bales to France, and 1887 bales to
the rest of the continent, while the stocks as
made up are now 525, 4G1 bales. Com
pared with the corresponding week of last
season, there is an increase in the exports
this week of 1870 bales, while the stocks
are j0,S3G bales more than they were at this
time year ago. We make the following
extract from the Chronicle at hand:
EGYPTIAN COTTON CROP.-With refer
ence to the Egyptian cotton crop, Messrs.
Quentell. Blech X Co., of Alexandria. I'M
der date of Nov. -. state that ''there is now
every indication that the balance Of the
crop will prove inferior TO last years.
Present arrivals must not be taken as a
proof that the crop is much larger than the
last one. We believe extraordinary pres
sure has been brought to bear upon the
fellahS to force chem to sell their cotton in
order to provide the government with the
ground tax, a second call having been made
within a week on some of the wealthiest
villages, which, we believe, is unprece-
dended in any previous year"
BOMBAY misunderstanding TO our
cable dispatch received to-day, there have
been 5000 bales shipped from Bombay to
Great Britain the past week and 5000 bales
70 the continent, while the receipts at Bonn
bay during the same time have been 10000
bales. Compared with last year there is an
increase Of 5000 bales this year in the
weeks shipments from Bombay to Europe
and that the total movement since Jan. |

AnntIirr DefnIcnfinri.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1G.-The report Of the
| deficit in the accounts of David i. Gage
| cx-City Treasurer, was fully confirmed to-
! day upon full examination of the same
! by City Treasurer O'Hara. who took pos
session of the Office to-day. The exact
amount of this deficit is $50. 703.23 This
is exclusive Of over Sl30,GGO deposited in
suspended banks. This afternoon Cages
hOndsmen had conference with
the Finance Committee Of the
Common Council, but no action was
taken further than to decide ethat
any proposition which bondsmen may have
to submit to shall first be presented 10 the
corporations council before the committee
take any action on it. The bond Of the
eX-treaSurer.is for one million dollars, and
is signed by seven or eight reputed wealthy
citizens, and mortgages on personal prop
erty, all of which he proposes to turu over
to the city, is thought to exceed five hum
dred thousand dollars in value, 50 that the
city will not probably be a loser by the de
falcation.
