NEW York, Sept. 15.-Brddstreet's, in its
review of the week, says: The telegraph
reports to Brddstreet's continue TO an
nounce the more favoring features which
have been conspicuous of late. Cotton is
moving rapidly to market, and wheat is
doing likewise. Interior merchants are
feeling encouraged to buy, and have taken
more literally than anticipated since the
recent short wheat crop talks. Iron is
stronger at the East, but no advance has
been established. There has been re-
action of SIC in petroleum. Wheat is e'lc
lower on more favorable crop prospects at
home and abroad, and corn is &c lower.
Collections have improved at some points,
notably South.

1T is suggested that American women
who ride should no longer follow the
English fashion of sitting On the left
side of the horse. There the custom
of turning to the left on the road
places the lady away from the wheels
of any vehicle she may meet. But
here common sense dictates that the
woman sit on the right. They have
good precedent. The Princess of
Wales. for special reasons. always
does, and the Empress of Austria sits
either way.
