GENERAL REMARKs-To-d day has been al
clear, delightful day. Business generally, con-
tinuesS disagreenbly quiet and inert.
a The favorable reports from ABROAD and New
York had perceptibly encouraging effect upon
the minds OF our cotton men. and the market
in the 1ileecy staple acquired considerable stead
mess, closing firm at yesterdays quotations.
The sales made quite respectable showing.
reaching 5000 bales.
In Flour there Is very little activity. but hold
ers Of that article exhibit an inclihption to en-
terrain slightly more stringent views. With
them hope springs eternal In the human
breast" and they arc disp posed to believe that
they will soon be blessed with a larger demand
and higher prices. For their sakes we hope
they will not be disappointed.
The supply of Mess Pork In first handUs
small and sales from those sources are few and
far between. Notwithstanding the demand for
the local and Immediate shipment Is fair. and
dealers and iobbers report good sales.
In other ARTICLES of Provisions the market Is
exceedingly quiet. and there Is no feature con-
nected with the same that we deem worthy OF
special mention.
COTTON-Liverpool market to-day was re-
ported fair demand at previous prices; HaVre
"nrm, demand moderate, and New YORK quiet
on spots and steady on futures. a,
Under these favorable reports our own Market
became very steady, and closed hrm at yester-
days quotations, with sales amounting to 5000
bales. showing the demand to be good ut cur

The North German and Lloyd line Of steam
ships. which ply between this port and Han

being commodious. safe and fast vessels. OF
these qualities we can speak from experience.
and we testify to the fact that the steamers OF
this line are comm anded by a most efficient
and courteous corps Of officers. Their agents
in this city. Messrs. Stockmeyer y Co., notify
us that the first cabin fares on their vessels

THE salt Monopoly.

q We have, from ting to time. had much to say
concerning the duty on salt and have urged
the reduction or absolute n9moval OF this duty.
considering that commodity to be essentially
an article of necessity. The imposition OF this
duty was for the benefit Of tho selt manutac-
turers of New York and Western virginia.
Hundreds Of ships come here every season
from European ports in ballast; whereas II
there was no duty on salt. they would bring into
our port full eargoes Of that most useful and
valuable article of commercS. There is q bill
before the National House of Representatives
which places salt on thS free list, and great ef-
forts are being made by the New York manu-
facturers to prevent this from being consym-
mated. and we are glad to learn that there is the
strongest probability Of these rapacious
monopollsts being thwarted and disappointed.
As pertinent to this subject we copy tho follow
ing sensible remarks from an article In the st.
Louis Times of the twynty- nrst instant:
Theo,at manufacturers of syracuse and Sag
inaw are crying out for increased projection.
while the Wood tariff now before Congress
places salt on the Fec ,iet. Tho present duty Is
equal to duty OF 100 per cent ON the value Oh
The salt ut the wells.
Enormous fortunes have been accumulated
In tho manufacture Of salt. and very large sums
are believed 20 hnyya been used from TIM, 70
time in lobbying at Washington to keep on the
high tAr1H. .
or all the articles that enter into. common con
sumption. there is none which deserves to be
considered 50 absolute. q necessary Of life ns
salt, and none SO essential to the every day life
of the poor man. 1t is the very last article thai
should be made the subject Of monopoly. and il
il somewhat surprising that our Western people
have stood It so long.
| Whatever excuse there may be for high pro
tective duties on articles OF manufacture re-
lauiring the outlay OF large capital and the en-
ployment or large numbers Of skilled opera
| lives, there can be mono for such an article as
requiring only the simplest and cheapest kline
| Of labor to 1T it for the market.
In fact. In some parts of the country. salt Il
dug out of the ground ut O less cost than coal
and It's production Is very near MS general as
that Of coal To expect the people any longer
to submit to this monstrous tax Is too much: II
must be swept away.
