General Trade.

Aside from the meats, which are
unsettled and advancing, the markets
are generally quiet and without Auc-
tuation of Importance. The cargo Of
1850 sacks of corn brought by the
Ruth from Madrid last week, and a
few carloads of hay, together with an
occasional little consignment of minor
Importance, is all that we have re.
ceived to replenish our depleted stocks
for more than three weeks. The pros,
pect Of fresh arrivals and in liberal
quantities is keeping prices in check.

MEMPHIS, January %, 1879. +
There is but little promise of an in
creased demand for mercantile loans
therefore our money market continues
quiet and easy. Commercial paper
offers in scant quantities, and discount
rates are easy at "a 1 per cent. Strictly
choice short date paper is occasionally
shaded on these figures. Exchange
offers literally. The prevailing
rates for New York sight and
New England demand bills are So Is
per $1,000; sight bills on New England
are ! discount checks on New York
are sold by the banks at par. New
Orleans rates are par selling and /
discount buying.
1t is reported by the secretary of
the national treasury that $150,000,000
worth Of the new 4 per cent. bonds
will find their way into the hands of
the people under the new bill allow
ing 3 per cent. certificates of $40 or
upwards to be converted in sums of
800 into 4 per cent. bonds. This
postal savings bank bill has passed
the lower house, and will doubtless
become a law without trouble, as
there seems to be very little opposi-
tion.
The interest rates Of the Bank Of
England were reduced last week from
5 to 4 per cent. The former rate had
ruled for several months, and the re-
duetiOn is a forecast of an easier as
we'll as a healthier monetary position.

The brusque inquisitivenoss Of the

weeks ago when a gentleman-say Mr..
Grifin-was travelling by rail from
Bombay to Calcutta. His fellow
passenger was a fat and sleek Parsee,
who opened a conversation with, dust
from England, sir !" Mr. Griffin re-
piled that such wa the case. "Yes,
why not2' said the descendant OF
Jansed. Hope you had a pleasant
passage" Mr.. Griffin assured him
that he had; on which he was pre-
sented with an orange and the obser-
walton, Yes, why not? Just so.
God is great l hope your mother is
well2' Mr.. Grifin's mother was we'll
and he said so, when his ~irrepressible
companion proceeded, Have you a
Wife," Yes" "Of course. Why
not? God is great And she is well n
"Yes." And happy 2" " Yes
And virtuous p Mr.. Griffin came
to the conclusion that the Parsees
were queer people.

Anthony Trollope, writing of novel
reading, says that a good novel should
be both realistic and sensational in
the highest degree. "Ifa novel fails
in either" he adds, there is a failure
in art. Let those readers who fancy
they do not like sensational scenes
think of some of those passages from
our great novelists which have
charmed them most - Of Rebecca
in the castle with Ivanhoe of the
mad lady tearing the veil of the ex-
pectant bride in Jane Eyre; of Lady
CastlewoOd as, in her Indignation, she
explains to the Duke of Hamilton
Harry Esmond's right to be present at
the marriage of his Grace with Bea-
trix. = \ x Truth let there be-
truth of description, truth of charac-
ter, human truth as to men and
women. If there be such truth | do
not know that a novel can be too SEN
satiOnal.

Sacramento (Cal) Record The ex-
pulsion Of the Chinese is not demand
ed on the ground that they represent
cheap labor; if such a plea was adj
vanced it might be turned to the pre-
judice of other nationalities than the
Chinese. They are regarded by the
thoughtful as Objectionable because
they represent a substitution of un-
changeably foreign and hopelessly un-
assimilative material for that which
is malleable and assimilative. They
do not come here with any view Of
permanent residence or naturalization.
They bring their own peculiar and UNI
congenial civilization with them, and
wherever they go they set up a small
section of the Chinese empire. There
is, therefore, no parallel between this
kind of cheap labor and other kinds.
We can not look forward to the prob
ability that some day all these Chin
csc will be American citizens, will
speak English, will have adopted
American habits and institutions.
Chinese colonies never merge, as all
experience proves.
