scrutiny OF its details and a comparison
with the National Exchange document At
New York the effect of the bureaus publ.
cation seems to have been confined to fl
tures, which were quoted at the close 1-32c
lower for October delivery, Ao for Novem-
Der, $3.50 for December, January and Feb
ruary, Ac for March and April, 1870 Ac
for May and June, $3.50 for July, and bc
for August. The November report of the
bureau will be of much greater Importance,
as 1t will not only give the condition, but
all other elements calculated to affect the
yield.
The demand during the morning appeared
to be confined to a few parties, and only a
limited business was repOsted, but later in
the day the movement exhibited more &C.
tivity, and as factors evinced q disposition
to meet the demand freely the advantage
became more on the side of the BUYERS,
prices being accepted which would have
been refused Yesterday in some cases show
ing falling off fully Bc. Later in the day
offers were accepted which had been refused
during the morning, and the market closed
quiet at our quotations, which show pretty
general reduction of lso in the inside fig

Fruit Growers Association.

The third annual fair of the Fruit Growers
Association Of the Gulf States commences
next Wednesday at St. Patrick's Hall. A
deep interest has been taken in the exhibi,
ton. which will be rewarded by the perfec-
ton OF the arrangements. There s certain
to DO the most complete display OF fruits,
flowers. preserves. vegetables and wines
ever witnessed in New Orleans, and from
the greatest number Of exhibitors Of all
portions OF the country. Many obstacles
have been overcome. In the beginning the
managers had little money. hardly any sup
port and were forced to combat, not only
indifference but unreasoning opposition. In
addition to these obstacles bad fruit crops
almost rendered their efforts abo,tive. This
has changed: there are plenty Of funds. the
managers have had experience, the fruit
growers have become enthusiastic and the
crop is excellent.
The premium list is mes: liberal one
and the competition great. The express
and railroad companies have aided the asso-
citation by reducing the rates, and the No
bile line Will bring to and carry away from
New Orleans exhibitors at half fare. Music
will ealiven the exhibition and banquet
each evenin. and contributions from the
gardens of the city adorn the
hall. In every respect q success is assured.

New YORK, July lo.-Panama advices OF
the second say public attention has been
directed to the late earthquake at Cucuta
of which no additional information has
been received. The people and federal Off
cials were moving to aid the sufferers A
national commission was appointed to do
what was possible, and both houses Of Con
gress had voted money for the purpose. A
national aid committee has also been Sc
lected to apply all the funds received.
Considering the state of lawlessness that
was developing itself At the scene of the
earthquake disasters by people pillaging
the ruins OF towns and cities, instead Of
aiding and protecting the untortunates, as
we'll as the disturbed political state of the
republic in general. President Perez has
issued a decree to increase the national

A letter from Salazar, May 2s, to the Bar
ranquilla Shipping Li*, in relation to the
earthquakes, says: "From several sources
we hear that the Venezuelan side has suf-
fered, if possible, more severely than the
Colombian, and while it is possible that
these statements may yet be exaggerated,
nevertheless in its mildest aspect can not be
less than an awful catastrophe"

are not perhaps of such primitive mod
esty and attractive manners as were those
OF otaheite in 1888. but they are repre-
sented as OF kindly nature. Il is not.
therefore. unreasonable to suppose that
the crew and passengers Of the ship
florinda, driven by stress Of weather
upon some OF these innumerable islands,
may have landed from wreck. Sepa-
rated for months and years from all pros
pecs OF accomplishing their voyage to
California, and affected by sim liar inHu-
ences with those attributed to the nlu-
tineers Of the Bounty. these men
would have gradually come to ac-
cept their enforced position az a
destiny from which they could not es-
cape. This result assumed. it may even
be reasonable to suppose that tho most
Of these men would have no disposition
to hear from the land they hadleft. There
might become a repugnance to revive
connections apparently broken off by
fate. Regarding these possible motives
the adventurous character of the men as
indicated by the nature Of their voyage
the :nnumerable islands with which the
Pacific in that quarter is studded. as the
sky with stars. it would seem very prob
able that no vessel would have touched on
the particular island upon which the pas
senge-s had landed. and that the men who
left home to seek their fortunes in
new country should have accepted the
situation and established an American
colony on some island 0: the Pacific
ocean
