NOTES.
--Wilbraham, Mass., is afflicted with an in
cendiary five years old. He fired his father's
house, and then a church, "to' see the blaze."
-It is said that a large number of Western
men, principally from Wisconsin, will seek
homes in Florida this fall. The sale of pub
lic lands twill attract numerous settlers, and
the immigration business will be brisk.
-The Italian government is displaying
much energy in excavating for antique statu
ary in every part of the kingdom where a
probabillty exists of finding any. Reports of
researches and of discoveries are sent every
month to the Director-General of the Italian
Museums.
-A jury at San Jose, Cal., has brought in a
verdict of $27,000 in a suit for breach of
promise of marriage against Gen. Henry M.
Naglee, formerly of Philadelphia. The
amount sued for was $30,000. The verdict
caused considerable surprise, and the case
will be appealed.
-Arizona merchants order most of their
merchandise from the East sent through the
mails, the freight being only eight cents a
pound, but the Postofleoo Department has
concluded to draw the line at "smoked fish,"
which has lately been shipped in the mails in
various stages of decomposition.
-A member of the New Hampshire House
of Representatives Is anxious to render the
death menace impressive. He has intro
ducoed this week an act in relation to the exe
cution of Joseph La Page, provding that it
shall be in a place accessible to the public, so
that all persons who wish 'to be present may
have the privilege.
--It is now officially announced that in
Siberia there were but nineteen Hungarian
prisoners, all students or workmen, including
two military captives, viz: an old captain
and a man named Kook, who had taken part
in Garibaldi's expedition, and who afterwards
became chief of the Bashl-Bazouks. The
whole of the foreign political prisoners were
sent back to their respective countries soihe
years ago. Petopi is not in Siberia.
-Among the queer things of commerce is
the fact that beef, copper, and so many other
commodities which are sent from the United
States to England, sell for lower prices in
England than they do here. The facts in re
gard to copper are peoouliar. The exportation
now amounts to 16,000,000 pounds annually,
and the product sells in London from 2% to
5 cents per pound cheaper than here. If this
can be done there is no need of maintaining
the duty of five cents per pound on copper.
for this industry is evidently able to take care
of itself. To maintain the duty is to abuse
protection.

The market opened with a stronger, but not
general demand, and up to 1 p. m. 1700 bales had
changed hands, constituting the bulk of the day's
business, after which the transactions were cdn
fined to 850 bales, making a total, as stated
above, of 2050 bales. Nothing transpired to indi
cate any quotable variation in pr.ces. Some
brokers reported that they could readily buy at
our inside figures: others that they were com
pelled to pay the outside.
As a general thing factors adhered to their
previous pretensions, but occasionally, when un
der instructions to sell or to close out lots, they
were willing to make some concessions. The
stock is so greatly reduced and getting to be so
much concentrated in a few hands that we hear
of very little pressing on the market.
The dispatches reported Liverpool quiet at pre
vious rates, with sales of 8000 bales and arrivals
firmer, buyers offering yesterday's closing rates;
Manchester quiet and unchanged, and Havre
flat, with no change in quotations. No report
was received from New York, where they are
still "honoring the Fourth," and will not reopen
the Exchange until Monday. From every other
cotton exchange.reports were received as usual.
The sales of the past three days sum up 2400
bales (none on Wednesday, national holiday, 350
yesterday, including 35 and 50 not reported until
to-day, and 2050 to-day), against 3400 last week
and 4050 the week before.
Week's receipts 2041 bales, embracing 955
from other delivery ports (of which 502 from Mo
bile, and 453 from Texas) and 1086 proper against
899 proper last week and 3020 last year. Total
proper since August 81. 1,186,294 bales, against
1,405,824 last year-decrease 219,530.
The exports comprise 7499 bales, embracing
2556 to Liverpool, 1250 to Malaga, 530 to Vera
Cruz and 8163 to New York to which we have
added 220 by the river.
The Exchange telegrams make the receipts at
all the ports from 12 m. yesterday to 12 m. to
day 1317 bales, against 1379 last week and 1157
last year and since Friday 7073 bales, against 6270
last week and 8278 last year. Total since August
81, 3,921,128 bales, against 4,069,490 up to Thurs

Exports (Friday to Thursday inclusive) to Great
Britan 5167 bales, against 11,389 last week and
1835 last year, and to the Continent 1532 bales,

year; to France 450,659, against 434,2C8 last year,

The week's receipts at the chief interior towns

6038 last week and 3047 last year; and the stocks
17,603bales, againsa 20,630 last week and 33,652

Compared with last year, this shows a de

the stocks, and an increase of 304 in the
shipments.
The Exchange makes the amount on shipboard
not cleared (before to-day's exports) 18,996 bales,
