IEFF DAVIS IN COURT.

HE SUES THE HEIRS OF HIS DEAD BROTHER.
Some time since, says the New York Sun,
Jefferson Davis brought suit in the Court of
Charcery in Vicksburg, Miss, against the
heirs and legatees of his brother, Joseph E..
Davis, for the recovery of $4,000, purchase
money of the Brierfield plantation, situated
in Warren county, Miss. The suit has just
been decided against the complainant. 1t
seems that Joseph L. Davis, some fifty
years since, procured from the United
States government two tracts OF land

MONEY AND BUSINESS.


MONDAY EVENING, Jan, Il.
The issI ie of the Weekly Sentinel on Monday
morning admits of a consideration Oflast week s
business to the close of Saturday. The week was
more eI act uragiDg than any preceding one for
month on the Board of Trade. Among whole
sale m .rchants IT was necessarily rather quiet,
except I'm groceries and farm produce. In the
city collections were pretty hard to make Re-
tail callers In family supplies found good deal
of db aculy in raising money on the piles bills
sent out. Yet the tendency is towards l4ttle re
lief. 1t will not be long before money will begin
TO ow back to the banks somewhat A good
aut hozfty on the subject of the general condi-
ito n and trade of the country makes this hope
fuL remark: That the active surplus or capital
employed in the mercantile trade of the country
has been shown TO be In larger proportion to the
extent of business done, and to the amount of
existing liabilities than at any time in
our previous his DRY, and is I'm excess Of that of
any other country in the world having apropor-
tionate extent of internal trade That this is the
case is made obvious by the absence OF anything
like gensral disaster among the traders in numer-
Gus branches Notwithstanding they have suf-
preston and intertise OF the period II is true
that the failures of the year are n numerous, i'm
ibev T have Ss'T been confined to- no distinctive
trades; they bear very small proportion TO the
number in each branch OF business; and above
all, in many eases some circumstances are
noticeable, involving departure from legitimate
business pri @ ciples, which would result, sooner
or later in ruin, sven in the best of times. Fail
ures resulting from individual indlscretionsin
business, ana fraudulent attempts to make
money by compromising when legitimate Dusi-
ness il dull, should not be regarded as indica-
ito sofa want of capital N trade generally, nor
lack of ability to stand the pressure OF the times,
long continued and severe though the strain
may be.

THE CORN MOVEMENT.
years as follows:

THE CORN MONEMENIs
The marked feature of the past week which
heads the list in business events was the move
ment in corn. With prices which ruled very
steady until Saturday, when there was an ad-
mItted decline OF onehalf cent, the trade at this
point wore an encouraging aspect, especially as
the receipts ksfe were considerably higher in
proportion than at Chicago, on some days act
ually exceedirg the receipts there. Should the
country roads not thaw out, this move
ment viii keep on unehecked for
line of commerce. and the following paragraph
from the Baltimore Trade Review explains
something of the activity here, though much Of
our corn goes to Philadelphia. The Review
says: The frft week in tie year opened quite
trade does not move with any d, gree of free
dom, with the single exception OF corn, there
being good demand for the cereal for foreign
shipment, anu considerable sales have been
made for that purpose. The large fleet of YES
sells which have recently arrived, have lowered
rates of freight to figure which have induced
shippers to send their orders in promptly with
the hope of securing full advantage which may
be gained through this means. Large auanti-
ties of erain are on the way for this mort for
foreign export and at present Baltimore heads
the list as the largest receiver and exporter of
corn In the country.
FLOUR AND WHEAT
have continued the same at our last review
very duh and quiet. But for the last two or three
DAYS wheat has shown some degree of frmness
and considerable excitement in speculative cir
cles. At the last moment, on Saturday, wheat in
Chicago made a sudden start and marked 81 o.
for March delivery. There has been almost
none at all offered here, except by sample Tor
lots, outside the state. There is really some de-
mand at low prices.
THE PROVISION TRADE
has befn in a very hopeful way for most of the
week. On Friday there was a weakening under
the general reports of fair hog crop, but on no
day have the prices receded, though buyers
stood OF in a state of expectancy. But Saturday
closed up with a firm and strong feeling in the
provision market, and buoyant feeling on the
part of holders, at least a very bold face how
ever DESTROYS they may have been to Sell at
market figures.

REVIEW OF THE HOME MARKET.
MONDAY EVENING, January

MONDAY EVENING, January IL.
The soft and damp weather of yesterday and
to-day is really an injury to trade. Country
roads are almost impossible, which checks corn
hauling, and interferes with the business OF the
season. Business on the Board Of Trade was fair,
for Monday very good.
The movement Of corn at this point is very
heavy, exceeding that Of Chicago. Receipts are
running up to nearly 100000 bushels daily, and
the elevators are doing good business. Since
Saturday evening over ll7,000 bushels were re-
seived here by rail and the prospect is for an in
creasing volume this week. The priceiwas to-
day little weaker than on Saturday, Ale being
the outside for free on board corn.
Wheat was strong in Chicago and &c higher
than the close Saturday night.
Provisions were reported quiet to day, but the
fact is the sales reported and unreported amount
to heavy trade. over 200 tons were shipped
within the last twenty-four hours, a million
and half pounds.
Nothing new in the channels of mercantile
trade.
The following are some of the sales noted TO-

8The hogs now being received are re-
ported of good quality, and so large that buyers
ofIight meats find it difncult to fill orders. The
foreign exports show liberal increase OF meats
and pork while lard shows a decrease OF equal to
s,S2S tierces OF $40 pounds each, and prices In
Liverpool show higher than last year for meats,
and 9s less for lard.
Opinions as to the future are as varied as the
weather. All agree that hogs are conside ABLY
heavier this year than last, and that the num-
Der packed this season will be largely short of
last. while the pounds may make up large
para Of the deficiency in numbers. Orders from
consuming districts are ample to take all the
stuff offered at current prices. Spectators
operate with caution, and fear to take hold
freely until further developments show the way
clearer.
EGGS AND POULTRY.
The past week was about the only one of the
winter suitable for the purposes of dealers In
dressed poultry, and they improved 1t with un-
wonted eagerness A good deal was hanC ed
and doubtless with some advantage. Eggs have
not stopped rolling in at any time, and the de-
mand has at no time been upfo the average at
this season. So Eastern dealers assert. Buyers
here have taken ali that came, and determined
to trust to luck for safe delivery. But the close
of the week shook their nerve considerably, and
1t may be that the price will suffer another
crowding down this week.
Other lines OF business nave offered no occa-
sion for remark. Times are hard and paying
situations are in great demand, yet few seem to
be suffering, the mildEess of the weather being
a great relief to the poor.

Tweed has been apprehended IL
Spain. Tie Dons have accomplished
what all the police force of New York
never did ami never could and never
wanted to do. Appropos Of Tweed's
arrest, we have the following commu-
nication to the San Francisco Bulletin.
That paper Fad ventured to comment
upon the Connecticut Fat Mems Pic
Mic and to speak Of fatties in general
as Atrocities in the FLESH" Hence
the following reply:
Editor Bulletin: A SIZE ial meeting
Of the Fat Mems Society of San Fran
cisco, was held last evening to consider
the editorial article in tho Evening
Bulletin, entitled, Atrocities in the
Flesh" The fl. men of this coast
have silently submitted since lS49, or
the spring Of 80, TO a vast deal of I'M
friendly comment, but the last accusa-
ton that representatives of our Order
were never engaged in q conspiracy,
is too much TO bear. We could wear
of some OF our sUpert1uous flesh if the
writer of the atrocious article would
reveal his identity. When we reflect
upon the grand and dazzling conspi-
racy organized, executed and man
agea in every detail bv that generous
Prince of Adipose, VIM. ii. Tweed,
we cannot imagine how any editor
could have the hardihood to inquire.
''Who ever knew OF fat man at the
bottom Of any conspiracy" We feel
like asking, Who ever knew OF a first
class conspiracy without fat man at
he bottom of il? Yours, in the Flesh,

Saratoga is terssly described in the
Herald, thuswise. as follows. namely !:
"In the whole history of political con
ventions in this State none ever fell so
low as the recent Democratic Conven-
ton at Saratoga. The nomination of
Horatio Seymour against his will
brought the proceedings into contempt
as soon as it WAS known that he per
sisted i'll refusing the nomination.
Universal disgust naturally followed
the announcement in the Herald yes
terday morning Of Mr.. Seymour's real
position" And in another place the
sa,ro paper says: "Any nomination
tho Convention could have made
would have given the democratic
party . stronger candidate for Gov
ernor than it is possible to obtain now
after Mr.. SeymOur's final REFUSAL"
