NEW ORLEANS.
Market Quiet and Steady-MOney in
Good UemRnu.

New ORLEANS, January 20..There is a
good demand for money. There has been a
quiet and steady market al week 10 cotton;
spot trade buyers have not shown spirit, nor,
on the other hand, have holders been dis
posed to press sales or make concessions;
prices close the same as last Friday, with
the exception of the higher grades, which
advanced &c. Sales for the week, 10000
bales. The falling off in receipts at delivery
ports has been even more marked than last
week, while the quantity reaching the in
terror towns is likewise small. The tendency
is now decidedly toward inside figures of tue
crop estimates. For futures the week was
quiet one until yesterday and to-day, when
under the influences of unfavorable advices
from Liverpool and New York the market
sold off 10 points, but under more favorable
advices and good buying, the market at the
close recovered 10 points of the decline
closing at points under last Fridays
prices; sales for the week, 100000 bales;
since the Inauguration of the future business
at the Cotton Exchange 100000 bales
have been sold; the increase in sales this
year over last amount to 9,490,000 bales.
Sugar and molasses have ruled very firm, the
supplies being absorbed from day to day at
full rates; the continued warm weather has
started cane to growing all over the sugar
districts.

erately active. Coal dropped SOC per ton,
and further decline Is likely. On Change
there has been fair activity in wheat. which
has advanced some &c since Monday and
closed strong to-day, with a good deal of
interest manifested. Corn was very steady
and prices were very reluctant to advance
as the receipts began to grow heavier:
the rise was not worthy OF mention
although the closing was firm
Oats were rather weak, showing a marked
falling off as to cash prices. Provisions show
a steady advance in price, which eliminated
to-day with something approaching scare
on the part of the shorts who fear the
hand OF prominent and shrewd specuIator.
The fact that France seems likely to be
again a buyer of American provisions,
was a raising lever. Sales of March
option were made during the week as fol-
ows: Wheat, 81 284C91 293; corn, l614@
625c; oats, 424G143Ic; pork, S17 25@1S;
lard, ll.159l1 Acc. The receipts for the
five days were 2,542,0 900 bushels; shipments.
l, S35, 900 bushels. This is a steady piling
up Of grain IL the elevators. The receipts
were nearly double those for the same time
last year. The advance in freights is likely
to be bear argument, at least to the extent
OF stopping shipments. as the present ship
ping margin is very small.

firm with an increased consumptive demand;
the market at present is strong.

Business Somewhat Beifer-Finaness in

CHICAGO, January 20.-The more wintry
weather which prevailed few days this

many merchants and tradesmen find time
hanging heavily on their hands, and except
for the natural increase of business there

chief cause, but incidentally the recent fail

a depressing effect and there has been evil

All people who have the grace to regard
the demands OF duty superior to the sus-
gestions of personal interest, and the claims
of their country as more imperative than the
indulgence of their own love of the power
that lies in patronage, will join in the
national desire for the introduction of a
thorough reform of the civil service of the
nation. The object of the desired reform Is
the substitution OF public officials selected
on the grounds OF personal qualification and
character-with the necessary acquired COM
potency and knowledge-for the employment
of the servile dependents or the useful hang
ers-on of influential individuals, whose au-
daciiy claims rights which neither law nor
constitution either originate or sanction.
That a sound and national system of admis-
sion to employment in the civil Offices
of the republic must take the place
of the unsatisfactory and mischieyous
custom that has long prevailed, is
the settled determination OF the American
people. Precisely what shall be the details
of the forthcoming system is not yet deter
mined, but tentative efforts are now making
together with observation of the results of
experience among other governments, will
doubtless lead to the establishment of an
efficient and satisfactory civil-service reform.
The report OF the commissioner of internal
revenue, G. B. Raum, for the year ending
June 80, 1881, contains some suggestions on
this subject that afford, at least, material for
aiding to decide how the end desired may be
accomplished. That officer says the object
of the proposed reform is the employment of
persons who are honest, capable aud diligen,
we'll Endorsed as to character, and success

attainments; these 10 prove themselves, on
trial, competent to transact the bust
ness committed to them promptly, ac-
ceptably, and in a thorough business
like manner. Our system OF government
being elective, the commissioner judges

Wilbor's Compound of Pure C0d-Liver
Oil and Lime.

The advantage of this compound over the
plain oil is that the nauseating taste of the
oil is entirely removed, and the whole rem
dered palatable. The offensive taste OF the
oil has long acted as great objection TO its
use; but in this form the trouble is obviated.
A host of certificates might be given here to
testify TO the excellence and success Of Will

that it ia regularly prescribed BY the medical
faculty is sufficient. For sale by A. Il. VIII

In an opinion rendered recently the Su-
preme Court of the United States decides
that registered bonds and stocks OF one State
may be constitutionally taxed in another.
Whether State bonds are taxed or are ex-
pressly exempt from taxation at home, the
fact in either case, the court holds, does not
prevent them from being taxed elsewhere,
for the reason that no State can exempt
property from taxation out of its own juris-
diction.

The New York Herald has been exposing
the abuses practiced in the management by
receivers of the twenty-five savings banks
which failed in New York after the panic oil
1878. The aggregate cost of these twenty
two receiverships, it says, "has been, in
round numbers, 81 100000, or one-fourth OF
the whole amount paid to the depositors of
the institutions. 1t is safely estimated that
three-fourths of the 81 100000 was expended
unnecessarily. And the greed of these saw
ings bank receivers has been quite moderate
as compared with that of many other re-
ceivers."
