The above statement shows consid-
cradle increase I'm deposits, and an in
crease also in loans, currency and specie.
The market opened with fair de-
mand for discounts at the banks and q
moderate inquiry for money on the
street at easy rates. There was fair
movement in gold and foreign exchange
at q slight decline, while New York sight
was In good supply at previous rates.
No sales in stocks were reported. No
transactions OF interest TRANSFERRED In
city bonds. We understand that the
city authorities construe the order is
sued by Judge Woods In the Maenhaut
case as applying only to the case OF the
half paid coupons and prohibiting the
diversion of the interest fund to another
purpose. The friends Of the plaintiffs
believe that the purpose OF the order Is
misapprehended on account OF some
clerical error or other mistake.
Payment OF the coupons OF the first
mortgage bonds OF the New Orleans,
Jackson and Great Northern Railroad
Company, due on the LIST inst, has been
deferred by the company, for the rea-
sons mentioned below, until the 10th or
18th inst, when IL is expected that pay
ment will be commenced and continued
warrant, 1t being expected that the
whole will be liquidated by the end of
the month"; The Treasurer states that
all the previous coupons having been
paid, the company was obliged to APP
propriate the earnings for November
TO the liquidation Of back pay rolls,
hence this short delay.
We have omitted to notice that on
Friday, the 3lst ult., the Peoples Bank
OF New Orleans declared semi-annual
dividend OF 3 per cent payable on and
after Jancary 10th.

The election for directors OF the Car
rollton Railroad to-day excited unusual
interest and unusually large number of
shares were represented, either by the
holders personally or. by proxies, and
resulted In the success OF the opposition
ticket. as follows:

We heard OF no additional sales on
SATURDAY., but late Oh Friday 1900 bales
were taken by two brokers, swelling the
sales of that day to $500 bales, and Of
last week to $500 bales. To-day the
market opened with a pretty fair in
duiry, and $500 bales changed hands
during the morning, mostly at previous
rates, after which tho movement exhib-
tied only moderate degree OF anima-
ton, and the additional business report
cd did not exceed 1000 bales, making u
total for the day as noted above Of $500
The offerings of the better qualities
were light, and these descriptions ruled
at steady prices, factors in many. cases
being still more stringent in their pre-
tension for them than they were last
week, but the general run OF the offer
ings showed continued or perhaps in
creased irregularity, with tendency to
easier rates, and occasional sales at u
fraction less than our inside figures.

in the fruit, which he turned swiftly around
with his right hand, while holding the

tub. and the boys and girls, or old and
young together, sat in 2 circle, quarterlng

whole crop goes to the English market,
whereit brings the highest price. 1t is said
