FINANCE AND COMMERCE

This mornings report shows cotton
off one-eigthth. The market opened
little weak on yesterday, but grew
firmer as the day advanced, and more
than ordinary interest was manifested
among local buyers, Receipts for the
day were 4l0 bales, while the total re-
ceipts for the season foot up3,2l7 bales.
Quotations on wheat are without
change, though the market is little
weak and receipts lighter. Total re-
ceipts to date, $4,000.
The wholesale grocery trade con-
tinues good. Coffee and
sugar continue very firm,
though there are no changes in quota
tons. Meat and lard are just little
weak.
ITEMS OF INTEREST.
The latest information respecting
the growing growing crop of tobacco
contains that which warrants serious
differences regarding the reported and
probable damage. In many sections
OF North Carolina the wind has driven
| down the plant, making the outlook
worse than ever. A day or two OF
rain and light temperature, 1t is be-
| leved, would prove of great benefit IN
| repairing tne damage dole. III souti
west Virginia frost has appeared
slightly, though SO far no serious dam
age is noted. From Kentucky the in
telligence received is not SO favorable
the cool nights and frost having
nipped the plant TO a considerable ex
tent. The supply of suitable wrapper
for plug goods is scarce, with indiea
tions OF greater scarcity and enhances
values. At present some grades nav
appreciated as much rs 100 per cent
with an upward tendency, as the &c
mand seems urgent.
BrCdstrccps: There were l36 fai
ures in the United States reported I
Brdtlstreets during the past week,
less than the preceding week, 3 les
than the corresponding week OF lSS2
and AS more than the same week
. 1881. Compared with the previou
week the Middle States had Is, an II
crease of 4; New England States %,
decrease OF 5; Southern States Is, a %
crease of /; Western States 5l, an il
, crease of 6; Pacific states and, teri
a tories IS, decrease OF l0i Canada an
the provinces IA, a decrease of 3.

Colby Uuniversitv.


The cabinet of Colby University has lately
received through the generosity OF Psymaster
J. Q. Barton, class OF 81, now of the United
States navy, an interesting and valuable col
lection Of relics from Egypt, Carthage, Syria,
Pompeii, and other places OF ancient note.
The collection from Egypt and Carthage COM
prises tablet Of hieroglyphics taken from the
recently discarded tombs of the Pharaohs,
portion OF the capital of pillar in the temple
OF the sun at Baalbec, with some minor relics
from the Sphinx and pyramids. The other
objects Of greater interest are pieces from the
temple Of Diana at Ephesus, from the hospital
OF the knights OF st. John at Jerusalem, from
the Parthenon and houses Of Pompeii. The
ancient Roman lamps and glass tear bottle re-
Gently unearthed at Mytelene are curious and
rare, but the mclt valuable of all are the fossil
fishes from Mount Lebanon. Tho relics were
all collected by Mr.. Barton and are therefore
free from the doubt which hovers over many
alleged specimens Of ancient ruins.
Barton Auce, Edmunds, Foss, Cochrane,
Snow, Berry, Mank and Fish have been Sc
lected - repre-snt the Sophomore class at
their prize declamations Of the 18Th inst.
The base ball nine are to have new suits:
They will be dark gray trimmed with dark
blue. The nire for the coming season will be
composed OF the following men: Catcher, Doe;
-pitcher, Barton, II. c.; LIST base, Tilton; Cd
bare, Wright; bsrs, Boyd; short stop, Mer-
rilli left field, NOVEL;; centre field, Putnam,
III. l.. right field, Emersoni substitutes, Knox
and Whittier
The junior class have voted to do away with
the pleasing and time-honorsd custom CT
planting the ivy, and in place OF "Ivy Day" to
have Presentation Day" giving 10 the college
