THE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, JULY o. 1879

immigrants, were landed ut American ports.
It ~ estimated that the number landed from
1889 TO 1920 was about 100000. In the latter
year the statistics Of immigration were first
officially prepared. They show that from
1920 to 1873 the whole number OF aliens arrfv-
ing III the United States was 8, $3.50, 793. Adding
the 100000 who had arrived before 1920, we
have d total Of almost 100000 inning rants
In less than ninety years.
Evidence OF the nationality OF all these
immigrants Is not available, but IL Is very
certain that the proportion Of English was
com paratively small. Statistics kept at New
York, when the arrivals from May 5, 1Sd7,
to March 81, 1879, numbered 5,732, 1873, show
that the percentage OF English was only 1924
OF the whole number landed III the time
stated 2, 1882 came from Germany; 2,O20s-
001, from ireland, and 74221 from England.
England contributed less than hree-quarters
of d million to over five millions sent by
other countries. Surprising the proportion to
have been about the same from the begin
ming, 1,25O,0OO OF the 9.88O,793 immigrants
landed from 1889 to 1878, came from England.
There were some 2,000.00G OF English and
their descendants in the United States d hum
dred years ago. About 1,25O,OOO English, or
possibly few thousand more, have been
added since. The other nationalities added
since 1889 number 8G30793 The offspring Of
these is certainly much greater than that OF
the original English eolonists and the Eng
lish immigrants added In ninety years land
yet men talk and write of the American peo-
pie OF to-day as Anglo-Saxon.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
TRADE ITEMS, ETC.

The cotton market yesterday opened under
somewhat unfayorable adyices from Liver
pool, where spots were quoted easy, with but
| little disposition on the part OF buyers to OPP
crate. This weakened the tone Of the market
here, and holders showing some anxiety to
! sell, the market broke down hc on all grades
from Low Ordinary to Middling, but closed
steady DIT the decline, with sales amounting
! to 800 bales.
During the week thus far there has been q
satisfactory amount Of trading In sugar,
prices yesterday ruling firm with q moderate
demand. Molasses Is quiet and steady, but
the demand IS confined to the retail trade.
Il At the grain landing the only new and IN
teresting feature was the further decline OF
/ re on oats, making the total drop on that
at dele for the week thus far cents. Corn
was only moderately active.
The position OF the flour trade from day TO
day becomes more and more interesting The
TIGHT g,,pply here. and the upward tendency In
wheat al the West, cause receivers to offer
Ecautiously, and we note general dlsposl. ...
Ito hold old wheat products OF cnolce quaney
tfor better prices. Business was light yester-
#day. the sales amounting to only $50 barrels.
Provisions continue steady to strong on
&c1t meats, bacon and sugar-cured hams.
Mess pork Is tn very ample supply, and the
feeling Ii rather heavy on that account;
nevertheless, there appears to be g, fair dis
[tribution In the order trade. Dry salt
shoulders are scarce and are held at an adj
vance Of 1sc. Clear and clear rib bacon are
also scarce and In demand at higher prices.
Hams have been sold at an advance OF u on

The New York Commercial and Financial
Chronicle, Of the fifth instant, has an inter
estjng article on American leaf tobacco, and
the prospects of the trade. Since the
great speculative movement of 1915 in leaf
tobacco, attended by an almost unprecedented
rise In values, the trade has been dull, accom-
panied by steady decline In prices, which
has at length brought them down to very low
figures. At present great diversity OF opinion
seems to exist as to the immediate future Of
the market, q revival Of speculative activity
and an important advance In prices being
looked for in many quarters. The Chronicle
notices at length the influences which are
likely to affect prices. We extract the follow
ing:
The total exports Of leaf tobacco from the
Atlantic and Gulfpo rts last year were 241 100
hhds, and the consumption $4,000 hhds, maxi
ing q total Of BOG, 900 hhds
With regard to the supply, present and
prospective, the outlook Is not favorable The
crop for 1878 was estimated on the first OF
january at 250,00o hhds, against $4,000 hhds
In 1877, but later estimates put the crop at
Of January In al American markets were
100000 hhds which make the prospective
supply for 1879 from 321,0o0 to 351 900 hhds,
against 100000 hhds for 1878, deficit Of from
bS,UUU 20 JS, UuU llQS. Beside LllS Inc planting
season OF 1879 has not been favorable. The
work should have been completed by the
twentieth Of May, whereas 1t was delayed Till
about the first week In June, and the tenn pera-
tllre. since, planting was finished has been
much too low; consequently, deficient crop
for the current year is generally expected.
This Is an additional element Of strength to
prices. The stocks OF hhds in the principal
markets OF the United States were permitted
TO accumulate, In anticipation Of the reduction
in the home duty. This was finally accom-
plished, to take effect on the first of May.
The stock Of 101, 900 hhds last January was
against 77,OO0 hhds on the first Of January.
1878; and yet the visible supply Iii the mar
kets Of the world was on the first Of january,
1879, only 449, 600 hhds, against 491 200 on the
first OF January 1878, q decrease of Al 600 hhds
in the face Of a crop in the United States fully
100000 hhds short and q planting serson that
threatens repetition Of the deficiency for an
other year.
But, on the other hand, there is good reason
to apprehend q falling off In the demand The
!" hard times have materially reduced the
consumption Of tobacco throughout Europe.

have been very low Is undoubtedly true, and |
the slight advance that has been obtained In |
the past month is due mainly to natural |
reaction. There Is, however, some speculative |
feeling based on the statistical position and |
the unfavOrable crop prospects. The interior |
markets are higher than this. Some further |
advance may therefore be expected; but O re-
currence OF the experience OF 1874-5 is neither |
to be anticipated nor desired. So reckless |
speculation works injury, and only injury, to |
oil legitimate interests.

THE CATHOLIC FAIR AND FESTIVAL.

NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS
CLEARED FOR THE REBUILDING OF LoRET.
TO ACADEMY.
That we were not guilty of cxagge:ation
in our accounts of the Catholic fair yes
terday, is supported by the result as aScer
tanned by those in charge The figures
published in our yesterdays issue were
incomplete although correct. OF the
amount of the total receipts we were not
informed, but they must have been un-
usually large as the NET PROCEEDS were
$4,000. This is beyond question the
largest sum ever realized from an enter
prise Of this character given in Cairo, and
conclusively proves that the undertaking
met with the highest popular favor, The
proceeds from the attendance alone at
ten cents apiece, amounted to between
$50 and S00-about nine hundred persons
having attended and paid Hundreds were
admitted without paying. SO that it is safe
10 say that near TO two thousand people
threw aside dull care and for one or two
nights of the week, resigned themselves to
innocent healthiul pleasure while at the
same time lending both time and money in
support Of Il good cause and noble exertion.
If, in the future, the ladies of the Catholic
church should institute a similar or any
other undertaking, they can safely depend
upon hearty support from the commu-
nifty, for the energy displayed, and the sue
cess attending this effort, has gained gen
cra confidence and is a sufficient guarantee
to the people that they will not he disop-

To divert his attention, however, they called

picked his (Ledgers) pockets of fifteen

tbc lcwd women and the coarse language
of the male rutfians was simply shocking.
The former, both black and white, min
