OF this grade, nevertheless, sold at 125sc and we
heard frequent complaints OF the scarcity Of
such descriptions. or Of the high rates at which
they were held. This wae partly owing to factors
being inspired with more confidence by the en-
couraging tenor OF the dispatches, Liverpool
being reported steady, with sales of $4,000 bales,

The Exchange reports: "Sales 10, 50 bales.
Market steady" The sales are computed from 3
P. M. yesterday to P. M. to-day.
We notice posted on the bulletin board Of the
Exchange letter from Mr.. W. c. Black, Presi-
dent OF the Exchange, to the Postmaster Gen
eral which he calls the attention OF that officer
to the Inconvenience suffered ny the merchants
Of New Orleans from the mails to the interior
and to the Northern and Eastern cities beng
closed at P. NJ. which does not allow them
time to notify their correspondents by post OF the
current business Of the day. He consequently
memorialzes the head OF the department to
make such arrangements, if practicable, as will
allow the mail to the points indicated above to
be closed not earlier than 6 z. III.
In support of his application the President re-
fers to the fact that the values handed by our
of the year amount to sl0O,OO0,O0O, and consti-
tute large portion of the foreign exports OF
the country. We hope that tn perfectly proper
application will receive the immediate attention
it merits, and rel suit in such arrangement in the
railway postal service as will reduce the time
hence to New York to 70 hours or less, and there
by enable our postmaster to keep the mail open
until the time specified.
There can be no doubt that owing to the con-
iiicting interests Of railroads, the mails from
New Orleans to New York are carried over a
longer distance than is necessary, and that 1t Is
practicable to reduce the time from seventy-tWo
hours to seventy or perhaps slxty-elsht; Moniie
and other Southern cities are concerned IN this
matter, as well as New Orleans.
