Some instructive details are copied by Ber-
4 lin newspaper from the price-list of q large

J ate rates. The finest. most durable. and highly

kilogramme. Green coloring matter, also of
fine. quality, durable and highly concentrated,
for Moselle wines, can be bought for marks
the half -kilogramne. Sugar coloring matter
OF q high yellow tint, and very fine quality, is
sold at prices which will vary with the market
price, Herbs for inparting to wines Muscate,
Riesling. Traminer. Bordeaux. Ruster, Tokay
OF Moselle bouquet. all warranted to be strong
smelling, superflne. and lasting. are offered
sat marks the alf-kilogramme. The. finest
french bouquet spirit is sold at marks the
litre Cognac oil. or oil of grapes, Is appar-
emily much more costly article. from 100 to
500 marks being charged for the half-kilo-
Eramme, according to the quality, $50 marks
even being asked for a half kilogramme OF
superfine and highly rectiied oil. Wine gly-
cerfne is much cheaper substance, costing

h2stom Of his list the manufacturer adds:
The good quality, of the articles ! sell IL well
known; This last assertion the German
paper is willing to admit to be true; but It
adds the wish with which most readers will
agree, that the gentleman In question was
compelled to drink nothing but wines i'm
proved By the admixture of his articles OF
good quality"

COMMERCIAL.
OFFICE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT.

Saturday Evening. JAN 2s. 1873
GENERAL REMARKS-In the Flour trade
there is an extremely dull business, the de-
mand being strictly for the local trade Holders
of this article are expecting an improvement in
prices, and are not manifesting any great ca
gerness to sell at present rates.
There Ia an ample stock Of Sugar, and the
market is provokingly quiet Receipts to-day
AT hhds. Sales-27s hhds.
The demand for Molasses Is active and the
market steady. Receipts-t472 bbls. Sales
1927 bbls.
For Corn there was fairly active demand
and 1000 sacks of white was sold at ACC per
bushel
In Pork there is an active demand, as has
been the case throughout the week, and liberal
sales Of Mess Pork have to be noted. The sup
ply is small. and the market can be quoted as
ruling quiet and strong at $40 per Dbl. in the
wholesale trade. and s12 rs in the jobbing trade.
As regards the Cotton market, we think there
is no one who can give an intelligent and COM
prehensive opinion. or can. with the present
lights before him. forecast the future as to the
price of Cotton. To-day. Notwithstanding the
reported improvement In the leading markets
Of the world. there was perceptibly weaker
feeling here at the close, though the market
closed steady. The sales amounted to only AGO
bales
COTTON-Varying from the prevailing rou-
tine Of the past week, the kilograms this morn
ing. reported an improvement in the condition
with renewed confidence. and caused them to
laise their demands. The encouragement thus
granted was not OF long duration. however,
and factors soon realized the impossibility Of
forcing an advance, and. although the market
closed steady; there was a perceptibly weaker
feeling prevalent toward the close. The sales
were only 440O bales.
The official quotations Of the Cotton Exchange
were as follows:
