A Complaint From New ORLEANS.
Under the head of Commercial and Finan-
al, the New Orleans Times, in late review
h cotton types, stated that much discussion
|hd been ELECTED during the week in relation
pthe types sent out by the Committee on
1aaiacation of the New York Cotton Ex-
|dspge, with the certificates of the chairman
The effect that they were duplicates of the
RATIONAL American standard.
Yesterday afternoon q Bulletin reporter
Iulsd upon the classification Committee and
Idhsr prominent members of the Cotton Ex-
|,hmge in regard to the subject matter con-
|ained in the paper mentioned, when they ex-
ImBsed surprise at the grievance, if any such
Sally existed, being preferred in such man
her. All the gentlemen with whom the re-
|pmter conversed remarked concerning the
allegations, that, made as they were in the
|jhape of a newspaper article and addressed to
|to one in particular, they could not consist
utly reply. They further said that if the
lew Orleans Cotton Exchange had any COM
paint to make it was obligatory upon them,
| h their rules and regulations, to make it to
he officers of the New York Cotton Ex-
hange, when the latter would give the mat
er due consideration.-M 7. Bulletin, 23d

Mercantile Fai ures.
From the third quarterly statement Of
mercantile agency, we learn that the mercan-
lille failures tor the first quarter of tho pres
lent year gave a total of $43, 176, 953; the Sec
|ond quarter, of $33, 667, 3l3; and the third,
lisa, 1928 237, the excess of the last quarter
being chiefly caused by the increase from
sc, OOO, 900 to Sic, 600, 900 in New York city,
where 4 of the oil failures amounted to
Sc, OOO, 900. In Ohio, Indiana and Michigan,
in Connecticut and Maryland, the last quarter
of the year has also developed heavier fail
ures; while in Georgia, South Carolina Ken
tucky and some other Southern States, the
September quarter has been more promising.
. It appears by the statement of the above
1gency that the failures in the United States
for the three quarters have been es follows:
1875. Number. Amount.
January, February and March,. 1882 t43,176 600
April, May and June. ,561 81, 667, 600
July August and September -. 1,77l 5432s. 600
Total for nine months. 1900. 1894 1881 III, 600
Owing to the fact that this is the first year
in which quarterly returns of failures have
been compiled, it is impossible to institute
an accurate comparison with similar periods
included in the above figures. But with the
total failures of previous entire years before
us, divided by three-fourths, comparative
result is reached which will be sufficient for
all practical purposes.

Referring to the above statistics the agency
1t is apparent from the foregoing figures
and other indications, that the disease with
which the commercial community has been
Affected is one of slow development; but it by
40 means follows that, because the symptoms
are now becoming more marked than former
", the recovery Of the patient is any the more
remote. On the contrary, there are many in
turning health and vigor. Chief among the
hopeful signs of the times is the disposition
