WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.

New YORK, Dec 26.-The market for cotton on
the SPOT has assumed much 6rmer tone during
the week, and prices show an improvement Of no.
This advance was established early in the week,
and apparently was based on the decrease in re-
ceipts and the freer export movement. Many
large receivers have withdrawn their stock from
the market. This, however, is only true Of better
grades, which are really scarce, and worth more
money, comparatively.
The medium and lower qualities do not show
ANY great strength, and improved prices now
current are regarded - full figures.
The export movement, though slightly in OK
cess of last week, 10 not sufficient in extent to
attract any great attention, AZ purchases appa.
Fently were merely of odd lots which were wanted
Ito fill freight engagements.
As to the spinning interest, these dealings were
gene rally limited to such lots as could be used o.
|6nce. 30 from general indications it does not
appear that the improvement will be very well
supported unless foreign advices are more favor
able than at present. For future delivery, the
kurn has again been in favor Of the sellers, but
the firmness in prices mainly due TO the pur-
|chasers Of the short interest to cover.
In fact the entire upward movement appears
ito be speculative one, ~ there were several
large sales for latter months, including lower
range Of prices. The closing dealings were very
light. The total sales Of the week were 201, 81
bales, of which 9237 we're on the spot, and the
balance for future delivery.

The New Orleans Returning Board has just
concluded it's iaborR, some seven weeks after the
ELECTION The official results were announced
yesterday. They give the Republicans major
ftv of one in the lower House OF the State Legis1

these returns are honest or fraudulent.
The Republicans in Louisiana, Of course, main
tain one thing, and the Democrats another. I'll
is pretty CO, tain, however, that the publication
Eof the returns would be signal for civil war if
'the city of New Orleans were not in the keeping

ICommittee of Investigation. now on its way TO
New Orleans, may suggest some measure Of re-
lief for that State. The Republican administra-

Republicans care to be responsible for. 1t would
be far better to restric. the powers of the Re-
turning Board, and repeal the infamous lave
which now disgrace the statute books Of Lou

Republican party, than to perpetuate Republican
rule by unworthy means.

HAVANA NEWS.

HAVANA, Dec. 26.-The Diayfo says Seniors Al
DANA and Aguilsra have purchased two steamers,
|dition to Cuba Gen. Jordan is to return to the.
island, accompanied by Aguilera, and the former
will assume chief command of the insurgents.
THE Didrio further states that ALBANIA and his
companions intend to re-establish the Cuban
Junta in New York, with the object Of regain
ing the influence and power formerly held by
that body and creating situation in Cuba similar
To that existing in 1869, by the commission of all
POSSIBLE depredations by the insurgents. It says
captain General Concha knows much more OF
the plans Of the insurgents than what it now pub
lshss. II gives publicity to theFcregoing because
Concha dislikes mysteries Concha is resolved,
as on former occasions, to combat the enemies OF
Spain everywhere.
Aletter to the Diario reports that strong efforts
are being made in Washington to obtain the re-
cognition Of the Oubans as belligerents. The
better couples the names of ALBANIA and Collector
Casey with these efforts and says the object is to
Throw ON the market the Cuban bonds hsldin

LETTER FROM GOV. McENERY.

New YORK, Fec. 26.-Gov McEnery in . dis.
patch dated the 25th to the Herald says: The
wrong just perpetrated by the Returning Board
against the people Of Louisiana, and which vitality
threatens the safety and integrity Of republican
institutions in the United States, is more crown
bng infamy than the action of the Lynch Return.
ing Board surpasses even the midnight order Of
|Durell, and would not be submitted to by any
free people.
Resistance to the National authority, repre-
scented here by large portion Of the army and q
naval fleet sustaining an usurpation and sitting
the voice of the people, has never been meditated.
