The Trouble in New Mexico.

In such dull times as these it is natural that
we should regard with some satisfaction any
thing that promises to better our commercial
and financial condition, even the prospect of a.
war with a neighboring country, more espe-
cially If that country be so inferior in men and
resources that we can easily and expeditiously
overwhelm her. and thereby obtain a large
accession of territory. Should such a war occur
with our sister republic" of Mexico, New
Orleans would. from her geographical position
necessarily become the grand depot of supplies
for the United States army. and would reap
great benefits therefrom. From this cause
there are many here who are eager for such
fray. and would. no doubt. like Jobs war-horse
snuff the battle from afar. and conflne their hu-
mane and disinterested efforts to feeding and
eauipping the poor devils who had to do the
fighting. But we think if those who indulge in
these hopes of war with Mexico are founded
upon the fighting which has recently taken
place IN New Mexico. they are doomed to dis
appointment.
We are informed by friend, an old merchant
OF this city, who has spent much of his time on
the upper Rio Grande, that very large propor-
ton of the population on the east side of the
river is composed of Mexicans These peonle
have received, by an inherited custom. the right
to get their salt free of charge from Salt Lake
This lake was somtime ago purchased by
company of which man called Judge Howard
was the agent. and he peremptorily prohibited
the inhabitants from making free use of the
salt Of the lake-hence the conflict. The leader
of the Mexican party was killed. and Judge
Howard. calling to his aid a small company of
Texas Rangers, was captured and killed. Ac-
cording to the latest and seemingly the most
reliable accounts. no parties from the other
= nyi ftair otaI i,t A-LA
We cannot see that there is any cause of quarrel
growing out this enseate which can lead to
war between the two countries. Nevertheless
the violent feeling of antagonism existing be-
tween the Mexicans and Texans on the lower
Bio Grande may yet eventuate in conflict be-
tween the two peoples, and the trade prospects
Of New Orleans be benefited thereby.

fail to give any encouraging indication Of the
general condition of trade. New York gained

Wednesday Evening. Dec. 10. 1877.

GENERAL REMARKS-The markets yester-
day were generally dull. The unfavorable re-
ports from Liverpool and New York. and the
recent heavy receipts at this port. had depress-
ing effect upon the cotton market. Notwth-
standing these there was q fair business DONE
and $50 bales were sold at prices showing de-
cline of 1sc on Middlng and the lower grades
the better grades ru | lg steady and firm at yes
terday's prices.
The receipts OF sugar footed up 1898 hhds,
with sales of 1859 hhds. We are glad to an
nounce that the market was very strong and
that large business was done, prices being
steady. These results were brought about by
the unfavorable reports of the condition of the
cane, caused by the recent warm weather.
The receipts of molasses reached 7i42 bbls !;
sales 3s72 bbls. There was a good demand with
an active Market prices frmer In the better
grades.
The supply of flour is large and with small
demand-only 1900 bbls we're sold.
In pork there was better feeling though the
demand continues limited, and confined to
trade sales at st3 per bbl.
In the dry salt meat trade there seems to be
an improvement. Notwithstanding the recent
soft weather. The demand is fair and the mar
ket closed steady ut 4ac for loose bulk shoul-
ders and Sc for packed. The receipts were
quite large l5 car loads coming In by one road
COTTON-Liverpool came in lower Havre off
franc on cotton a1oat; spots down Lie at New
York and futures off 500 points. Such were
the depressing influences under which the mar
ket opened to-day. But still greater factor
in depressing the market was the heavy present
and prospective receipts. Nevertheless. consid-
ering the circumstances. a fair business was
transacted. Holders offered freely and grant
ing the concessions asked by the buyers. were
enabled to move the staple TO the extent Of $500
bales at prices showing q drop in the market

days prizes
