Hon. a. ii. STEPHENS remarked to friend
during the late session of Congress. thai
Speaker Blaine was more prompt, efficient
and energetic in the dispatch of business,
and possessed more thorough knowledge
of the complicated rules of the House than
any one he had ever seen in the chair" As
Mr. Stephens has been familiar with all the
Speakers since James x. Polk. and per.
sonally served under Winthrop, Cobb and
Banks, this compliment to Speaker Blaine
il one worth having.

Under more encouraging kilograms from Liver
pool and New York the market opened with a fair
inquiry, but the movement being checked by light
supplies of the kind wanted, the sales during the
morning were confined to few small lots at
steader prices, after which the tone improved
and the entire business summed up the amount
noted above. Ordinary sold at &c, good ordinary
at Axe, good style do at Hk, good ordinary to
strict at l4a4c strict good ordinary at IA &c and
low mddng at l5,4c. We retain our figures of
1885, al5,4c for low middpg, but it would be diff
cult to fud any snder the outside figures and the
limited supply is mostly held higher.
The amount Oh snipb0ard NOT cleared, going on
board and engaged for shipment was set down at
the opening TINS morning at 1000 bales embrac.
ing $500 bales for LIVERPOOL and $500 for the North
which, when deducted from the stock on hand by
our running statement yesterday evening. leaves
