GENERAL REMARKS - To-day has been
warm clustering day the wind blowing strong
from Sle southeast with occasional showers Of
rain.
o Owing to the day being set apart to be devoted
to the ecommemoration of the death Of Pope Plus
TX there was general turnout Of our citizens
and but little business was transacted.
Notwithstanding the continued favorable
news from foreign markets. Cotton here, for
the above mentioned causes. evidenced but
little activity. and only $50 bales were sold.
The Sugar market did not display much ac-
tivity. and prices for our sacharine product
were hardly so steady ss they were yesterday,
but there is not sufficient change to Justify US
In lowering our quotations.
There was but little inquiry after moasses,
and the market Is weak
In Pork. trade In this market to- day has been
dull and somewhat easier and outside OF job
bing orders, the transactions in this line have
been insigniffcant-and, this. iIo the face Of
more favorable advices in the Western pro-
vision markets.
There was an exceedingly small movement
in Flour. the demand being limited, and prices
easy and favorable to buyers, holders manifest
ing Willingness to dispose Of their property
at current prices.
lueFe ~ II kOoH uelndAu ltE JpIH, hhh FIltSS
are steady.
OF Corn Meal there is not an adeauatesupply
on the market. and In consequence prices for
this commodity are ruling firm.
COTTON-The tone OF the market is easier.
but so slightly that 1t does not Justify any
change in quotations.
To-day was observed In almost all branches
of business as a holiday, consequently the
movement In Cotton was small, and the trans
actions confined to $3.50 bales.

EBEN EzER PULLMAN of Illinois is lead
ing Nationalist. Some years ago Mr.. Pull
man bought much land in New Carthage.
A great speculation set in, and he sold many
lots for cash. and took mortgages on others.
Elated by his fortune he continued TO buy,
and was not wise enough TO get out of the
speculation in time. The crash came, the
price OF land fell, the value of mortgages
shrunk, and he found himself caught with
many lots on his hands. He Is now lead
ing and enthusiastic Greenbacker. That is.
he wants to get rid of his land and initiate
the value of his mortgages. He is working
for a paper imitation and rise in real estate.
That means higher rents and dearer farms
for others, and cheaper money for him to paw
his debts with. That is how he befriends
the laborer and the farmer. Mr.. Pullman
can find not few kindred spirits in Maine.

WEBER Of Louisiana has evidently been
put in charge Of Tilden's bar'l of money and
is doling out bribes to Louisiana witnesses.
OF course the great Democratic party does
not offer any such paltry sums for testimony
as those mentioned in the evidence before
the New Orleans committee. 1t corrupts
with royal hand. The probabilities are
that Weber retains the major portion of the
bribes as compensation for his own services.
A man, even Weber, certainly cannot be ex-
pected to besmear himself for nothing.

THE announcement that Gen. Stewart L.
Woodford, of New York, will address the
Republican State Convention to be holden in
this city next week, will be received with
pleasure by all who have ever been so fortu-
nate as to listen to this eloquent orator and
accomplished gentleman. Gen. Woodford is
one of the ablest political speakers in the
country, and his patriotic services in both
military aud civil life give additional weight
to his words.

If this sort of weather holds, Edison will
be called in. The American people have
learned to look to him for help in all their
troubles. Indeed those of advanced opin-
ions are seriously thinking of substituting
him for the old conception of deity. Before
doing that, however, it would be well to sub.
jecs him to the final test. Let him be put to
the task of extracting the truth from Lou
isiana witness. II he can do that all doubts
of his omnipotence will disappear.

"A return TO specie payments at the earli-
est possible period compatible with due re-
gard to all interests concerned, should ever
be kept in view. Fluctuations i'm the yaIue
OF currency are always injurious, and to
reduce these fluctuations to the lowest pos-
sible point will always be n leading pur-

THE Paris correspondent Of the New York
Times says it is rank heresy to hint even at
the possibility of war in Europe in the face
of the success of the Berlin Congress, but
there are still unbelievers in the long dura-
tion of peace, who persist in seeing danger
GUS symptoms for not very distant future.
and no one can deny that the acquisition of
the port, town and plateau of Adjerored by
Germany is an act of serious gravity. Ger
many has no interests in Morocco, and Adje-
rored is only separated from the French pos
sessions in Africa by little river, the KRIS,
which it commands by position easily forth

PEOPLE are wondering what Beaconsfield's
new title will be. Why not follow the FASH
ion set by the French empire of taking the
title from the place of victory, and call him
Duke of Berlina Or how will it do to steal
the title the House of Savoy now holds, and
style him King of Cyprus and Jerusalem?
By the way, what grand advertisement for
Disraeli's novels the Berlin treaty is. OF
course he still holds the copyright.
