General Exchange
Quotations. Quotations

With nothing in the dispatches to have any
marked influence, the market opened mani
mate, with a moderate inquiry, but to great
extent from buyers who came forward with
rather lower oilers than factors were willing
to accept.
Under these circumstances the business
during the morning was confined to 1000
bales mostly at previous rates, after which,
although the 206 p, NJ New York dispatch
reported advance Of !, in spot and l-lGGt
1882 in futures, the only effect appeared to be
to confirm the conf dence of factors. If any
thing, concessions were more Frequently OBJ
tanned than yesterday, but the bulk Of the
business was at steady rates The majority
of factors are still holding above the ruling
rates, but others are willing to meet the de-
mand, at least for a part OF their stocks, but
not to make any concessions. Unde sirable
and mixed lists at the same time being neg
lected occasionally sall at easier rates. The
demand appeared to run mostly the
medium grades, there being less inquiry for
the better qualities
The amount on shipboard no. cleared,
going on board, and engaged for shipment was
set down at the opening this morning at ST.
500 bales, embracing -. eco for Liverpool, 49,
Oa0 for Havre, 1900 t,r Spain, 1000 for the
Mediterranean, 5000 for the North Sea
and 1000 bales for the North, which,
when deducted from the stock on hand
by our running statement on last even
ing, leaves Isl, 200 bales to represent the
quantity at the landing and in presses unsoli

The Arkansas Message

Special to Cincinnati Commercial, (Rep.)
Is still the subject of much comment.
Governor Brooks, who is here, is jubi-
liant, and affirms that as soon as Congress
adjourns, the President will install him
in the Office of Governor, by the aid of
the military. The best friends of the
President are nonplused, and evidently
downcast. There are many who think
they see in the circumstances, a purpose
on the part of the President to provoke
the people of Arkansas to an open con-
fict with United States troops, if pos
sible, and then declaring that new re-
bellion has been inaugurated, place the
entire South under the control of the
military, and then force such war. All
for the double purpose of saving the Re-
publican party and securing himself a
third term.

THE Senate Privilege Tax bin came up
and produced 8 lively scene in which
Messrs. Cessor, Peyton, French and others
took part. Mr.. French said that this branch
of the Legislature had become IN object of
ridicule and deservedly SO. The bill was
considered by paragraphs and great many
amendments were offered reducing the
amounts, principally by Mr.. CessoF, who
led the opposition TO the bill. Pending the
consideration OF the bill the House adj
journed.

From the Holly Springs Reporter

The County Grange of this county,
adopted the following resolution at their
meeting in this city, on Feb. 4th, 1875.
Resolved, That as Changers we depre-
cate the general use of the cotton auger
and will use all laudable efforts in our
power to prevent this indiscriminate
practice of boring cotton bales, believing
as we do, that great injustice is done the
farming community by the practice.

The Executive Misuse of the Con-
Gingemt Fund.
From the independent South

From the independent Soulful
The Executive Contingent Fund was
entrusted to the Governor to meet the
incidental needs of the public service, and
the use of any portion Of it for. his own
private benefit is gross mis-appropria-
ton. The law provides a Mansion, fur
nished as the legislature may direct, and
gives the Governor fixed salary of Sc
900, but contemplates no further compen-
sation of that .offcial, hence the ex
penditures spoken of in the article
from THE CLARION are even more shame
fully reprehensible than appears upon
their face.
