of ono who has lived for no object but
to be considered an elegant carpet
knight, an accomplished beau, and an
ornament to n society salon. The temp

fashionable frivolity, and to take no
thought except for the pleasures of the
moment. But the drifting frequently
lands one on the desert of nowhere,
with nothing for n rudder to guide one

The market opened with a fair in
quiry, and the sales during the morn
ing reached $500 bales, after which the
movement became more active, result
ing In additional transactions to Che
extent Of 10, 400 bales, making u total, as
noted above, OF $4,000. Clear white cot
tons are becoming scarce and com
manded rather sitter prices. The me-
dunn grades were steady at previous
rates. The lower grades were IN
much better demand, but continued
cottQns maintaining their posi-
ton much better than dusty,
which sold In many cases at less than
our inside figures. The receipts of this
description are increasing and cannot
be worked off, unless at liberal conoes-
sions; one list with an unusual proper
ton OF sand sold at &c, which, consider
ing the weight of the latter, was u full

bear in mind, and not be disappointed
il their dusty crops bring less than

steamboat, and whether In transit on
through bills OF lading or for sale IN
this market, by which system the inter-
ests OF tho owners of the cotton are pro-
tected, even though the owner himself
may reside at distance: and
Whereas, for the efficient working 81

lures are required, OF which all passing

| 1T. and to cover which the Exchange
| has agreed to an assessment OF one
cent per bale on all cotton shipped,
which assessment has been agreed to as
binding on all members OF the Ex-
change. It is
RESOLVED. That the same assessment
is chargeable on all cotton passing
through on through bills of lading, and
constitutes fair and equitable charge
against the cotton, payable by the
agents through whom II Is shipped. and
by them chargeable TO the owner OF tho
cotton for whose benefit the expense Is
incurred. and
RcsOlred. That by the rules Of the FIX
change all cotton sold by members be-
ing sold subject to the rules OF the Elk
change. parties not members alto also

leans.
He therefore suggests that clause
should be inserted in the bill Of lading
making the captain deliver at the port
of destination the full number Of hoops
six to the bale. Another notice is
posted to the effect that In oil cases Of
deliveries from the presses on Sunday.
the factors be required to pay the extra
expense for supervision and gathering
the loose cotton also, that the Score
tary send notice to tho presses pro
bibiting the removal OF side pieces from
or the agents.
The chief leveo inspector. Mr.. Holm
Fischer. reports that u great loss is oc-
casioned by the disappearance OF hoops;
He writes. It'll the cotton Is slowed
on board ship. on an average 70 hoops
TO every 100 bales are destroyed and in
variably carried off. At this rate. u
cargo OF 5000 bales will at least lose GOO
hoops. equal to about 1900 pounds (cot-
ton.l A house shipping during the seal
son 10000 bales, will suffer a loss of
about $1,000 pounds. A million OF bales
shipped from this city during the season,
will consequently show loss from
those causes of about 100000 ibs. ] take
the liberty % expressing the opinion
that the loss Of ties as above stated can
be obviated by inserting in the bill of
lading clause binding the captains to
deliver at port Of destination the cargo
