REDUCTION IN Dry GooDs.-A reporter
who has just visited leading houses in the
retail dry goods and fancy goods trade, re-
ports that, at the retail establishment OF 4.
T. Stewart & Co., Broadway and Zenith street,
the monetary stringency has little tendency
to diminish the throng Of shoppers in the
various departments. Mr. Stewart, with his
usual shrewdness, seems to have anticipated
the general reduction which must come, and
has marked down tie prices Of stock on
hard, as we'll as upon that laid in since the
commencement of the crisis. It was thought
it would be sometime before the market
would become settled again. Mr. Stewart
while in Europe, (now returned in excellent
health, we are glad to say,) bought large
quantities Of goods at Low rates for cash. aud
these are arriving in weekly installrnents,
and are offered at rates suited to the times.
Silks, which sold few months ago at 81 80,
are now put upon the market at IS cents.
and were opened to day The house foresaw
the depression, and pat their stoels in a con-
dition to suit the times. All goods are offer
ed at rates far less than when the financial
trouble began.-N z. Express.
1t was matter Of general regret that the
rep, esentatives of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad, were not able, or at least did not
meet their November interest amounting to
s450ooo. Mr.. Huntington offered to raise
800 600, but there was no corresponding
disposition with others. We have our the
CRY about this, but as it is not we'll fortified
by facts, at present, we forbear any remarks.
The bale of cotton which was donated by
Col. Greed Taylor, Of Arkansas, for the ben
eff Of the Memphis orphans, and sold in

shipped to St. Louis and sold there
Tor ninety dollars. Il was then forwarded to
Cincinnati, and yesterday was sold on
Change, and purchased by members of the
Chamber Of Commerce for $1,000. It will
now be shipped to some other city, to be
again sold for the same purpose.

down the Bowery at pretty rapid rate OF speed,
when, in passing Houston street, about 5:25 p NJ,
one Of the windows was suddenly smashed ana a
piece OF the heavy plate glass was imDedded in the

proved that the plate glass had been penetrated by
ball. no larger than pea, evidently shot from an

TO have been fired at Mr. Lttell, for no one but he
sat opposite the particular window which was
struck. The ball could not be found, In spite OF o
long search. The excitement in the car was, OF
course, intense Mr.. Lttel said that he knew OF ne
reason that would prompt any one to fire as him in
this manner. The car continued on Its way, and
no arrests were made. On the sidewalk the passer
