serenity of the smiling Countenances OF the
enrapiured bulls was altogether lovely TO
behold, but a change came over them before
the shades OF evening closed, and they did
not feel, apparently, a title better when
they took their last cocktail before retiring
than they did the day before. Aud the
bears had nothing to rejoice over for When
the last reports came in, like the Arabs,
they silently stole away. There is little
change to note in the close from that of last
evening, but there is seemingly better
feeling on the part of buyers.
The sales in this city, us recorded on the
Brokers Exchange, reached 1900 bushels
OF wheat and 100 bales of cotton.

THERE were few bales of cotton received
IN this city to-day, but not by wagon. They
came in over the Dallas Il Wichita. A gem
tleman of this city, who has Just taken a
| trip over the country to ascertain facts in re-
gard to the amount of cotton yet on planta-
tons, reports that there is great deal more
than has been estimated by those who pre-
tend to be well informed ON the subject.
lie speaks of a thousand bales near the
city that no one on the exchange seemed to
know We're in existence. Should the roads
dry up in the next ten days the amount of
cotton that will be brought to this market
Will astonish great many of our dealers.
The tone of the markets everywhere repre-
sents healthy condition of the staple, and
the late advance seems to be justified by
light receipts The shipments abroad have
been very liberal, while the stock at the
ports is being gradually reduced. This
morning we advance our quotations in re-
spouse to the rise in other localities. Prices,
