Ferry on account of his brothers sickness, and th
vacancies in Ohio, South Carolina, and Louisiana,
the Senate will stand Tomorrow, "a Republicans,

The absence of one more Republican Senator would
give Judge Davis the casting vote OF any political
question. The Republican Senators already begin
to realize how slim their majority is and how much
more difficult il will be than ut any previous time
since the war to pass any strictly party measures.
The Democratic majority in the House, even If 1T is
retained will be more uncertain With two parties
so evenly balanced in both branches of Congress no
very radical partisan legislation will be likely to DO
passed by either house during the next two years.

The (y0ffee Troubles,
[Cincinnati ENQUIRER, 10th ms

Cincinnati Enquirer. Goth inst
Developments yesterday showed that the de-
termined action Of the coffee dealers of this city
and the West generally in resist no the demands
of the New York jobbers were meeting with
their reward In general weakening Of the New
York dealers kilograms were received from
New York by the brokers here ordering them to
submit all offers, no matter what they are"
This is considered by the dealers here q sure
indication of weakening on the part of New
York dealers. The buyers here have for the
past month or more been purchasing q large
proportion of their coffees I'm New Or cans and
Mobile, and this fact has recently fully come to
the knowledge of the New Workers, and un-
doubtedly caused their act ion of yesterday.
The dealers here have. however. found that
they can purchase more advantageously in
Mobile. and New Orleans than in New York.
from the fact that they have a less number OF
profits to pay The sales in the Southern cities
brokers' to the dealers here, while In New Yo k
all coffees are first bought from the impo, ters
by jobbers, and indeed are some times handled
by q second aud third jobber before they reach
the buyer in the West. All these jobbers Of
course make their profits, amt as a result it is
practically impossible 70 buy New York coffees
as cheaply as those shipped direct from Rio to
the gulf coast and sold direct from the importer
to the dealer here. This fact is causing the tide
of trade to turn rapidly to the South, and with
half the business now going the O.. only two
months after the rupture with New York. and
with the results named. 1t may safely be esti-
mated that nearly the entire business will be
transferred thither during the coming season.

ton are inaugurated by New York.

OFFICE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT.
Saturday Evening. Dec. %. 1877.


GENERAL REMARKS-The markets to-day
have been exceedingly dull, owing principally
to the fact that the old year of 1877 Is very
nearly at an end. and that the banks. in accord
ance with their ancient custom drawn in their
call loans by the 1st of January. when they
make up their annual statements.
The produce markets are particularly lifeless.
There is large supply of flour on hand, and a
small local trade. with no demand for export at
this time. and prices remain as they have been
for days past.
There is only moderate request for pork. as
Is the case with provisions generally.
Moasses continue to come in freely. the re-
ceipts yesterday footing up 1858 bbs. sales 1116

New York spots we're unchanged, but futures
declined l to Q points. Here the feeling was
weak, and in the low grades quotations were
difficult to be obtained or maintained The

their position, however. and on them yester-
days prices continued to rule. while the low
grades have lost sc.
