The market for the past week has been
quiet but firm, with steady advance of
l@4c for bright cottons. Buyers en-
deavored to force lower rates, but hold
ers were firm in their views and main
tanned their prices. Since Wednesday
the market has presented firm feeling,
with prices stiff and tending upward,
though buyers contended that the Ex-
change quotations were too high. The
demand was mainly for bright cottons.
Low grades were neglected. The bulk
of the crop has been forwarded to mar
ket, and in consequence the receipts are
rapidly falling off. The market this
morning was firm, with holders buoyant
and asking higher prices. The gloomy
and wet weather tended to defer opera
lions. Offerings were fair, with good
inquiries. The New York market was
reported firm and active, with an adj
vance from the opening of &c for spot
cottons; middling, l63c. Futures were
stronger. Liverpool was quoted active
and frner; uplands sI@84d. New
Orleans was reported active and firm;
middling, l63c. The favorable advices
and advance in Liverpool and New York
stimulated the market here, and prices
advanced from s91c, with holders of
bright cottons firm and not anxious to
sell, predicting a still further advance.
Buyers we're active but not inclined to
meet the advance except in some cases
where concessions had to be made in
order to effect sales. We learned of the
sales of several lists of low middling at
l510l5lc, middling at l5}@l5Bc and
one list of ordinary at ll9c. The mar
ket at the closing of our report was firm,

on the part of bankers to grant favors
to regular customers at iG9l2 2 cent.

Boston and Eastern points, &c off; on

remain quiet, with better feeling and a
light demand for Memphis 6s, with one
or two transactions at 43c. County and
State warrants are in more request, with
a few transactions of county warrants at
former prices. Mississippi securities
continue dull and neglected. There are
a few inquiries for Arkansas securities,
which are looking up. There was moth

quite carly in the morning, and in
the lightest costume Imaginable, sought
room adjacent to his bedroom, from
the open window Of which he fondly
imagined he could entice the breeze.
For such purpose he was leaning out
of the window, in position the most
comfortable and easy, when male do
nestle of the establishment CHANGED to
enter the apartment, aud, mistaking
the Cardinal for a fe]low-servant, glee-
fully wet both hishands, and, stealth
lily approaching "His Eminence," gave
the latter so tremendous slap, on a
part that shall be nameless, that this
illustrious and most amiable son Of the
Church at once jumped to his feet, as
sidously rubbing the part, when he
encountered before him on his knees,
the domestic aforesaid, tremblingly ex-
claiming, ''P2easc, your Emi',ence, I
