gress providing for new election in Louisi

the superintendent of suitable persons to be ap-
pointed by the President. These persons are to
select two others from each political party State
Registrars, to make a new registration of the

emit parties, with two clerks; the Supervisors are

tion in each election precinct from the different

The movement in the grain markets has
been very light during the week under review
in fact it is seldom that we are called on to
note such inactivity and lifelessness in grain
circles. This was more especially the case
during the first half of the week, although at
No time was there anything like an active
movement in any of the markets. The general
tendency of the trade, seemed to favor the
bears and the tendency Of values was IN
variably to lower range. The receipts, al
though only fair, were in daily excess Of the
shipments, and the consequence is steady
and rapid increase in the stock in
store; this being especially the case
with wheat and corn. The adVices
received from Liverpool and New York were
not of an encouraging tenor, quoting dull,
weak markets and declining prices The local
speculative element seemed to have lost their
interest in the trade, while outside orders
were more or less restricted. Toward the
close of the week there was a considerable
improvement, and the general outlook was
more favorable to sellers and holders. The
lower prices attracted more orders to the
market, while "shorts" were covering more
freely at the profit offered by the decline.
The result was q reaction and the recovery Of
a portion of the decline. The receipts during
the closing days of the week were lighter.
Flour remains very dull. The principal inter-
est of the week conferred in wheat, the other
grain markets ruling comparatively quiet
Rye and barley were dull. The following table
shows the current quotations at the opening
and at the close:

FINANCE AND TRADE.

Weekly Review of the Chicago Market.
FINANCE.
AS had been anticipated, the first week of
the new year witnessed an increased demand
for money, consequent upon the resumption
of some branches of business which had been
at stand-still during the holidays, and a
frmer, more satisfactory feeling pervaded
the market. There was no advance in rates
of interest, however, 8 to 10 being the cur
rent interest figures. Bonds were quiet: U. S.

Common sense, and the want of it, is
very conspicuous in mems every day ac-
tions; in the selection of newspaper or
magazine, or the purchasing of any article
of wearing apparel, or ordinarily merchan-
die for instance, man generally uses a
certain amount of judgement, in other
words, sense: but when it comes
to medicinal nostrums, where are we
now." While our readers are pondering
