OFFICE NEW ORLEANS DEMOCRAT. I (
Monday Evening. Nov. 19, 1877. J
GENERAL REMARKS-The early part of yes- F
terday was cloudy and murky, followed by quite F
a heavy rain, which put an effectual stop upon y
business. It was truly a "blue Monday."
The cotton market was somewhat animated 8
and a fair business done, the demand being n
what in these times would be denominated a
good, being stimulated by favorable advices
from Liverpool and New York. Sales reached d
5850 bales.
The receipts of sugar were comparatively 8
good; at the opening of the market the de
mand was fair, prices being well sustained, o
specially for choice lots, but owing to bad t
weather the business in this article was sus
pended.
In western produce the condition of the mar- 2
ket has experienced but little change since last (
week; there was considerable demand for dry t
salt meats, which are very scarce. r
There was no real change in flour, but there
was perceplible a slightly steadier and better \
feeling in the market. Corn meal, under the I
influence of prospective receipts and better
supplies, was weak, and eAaerience a slight
decline.
COTTON-Although the day was unfavorable
for business on account of the rain the cotton
market footed up a fair business. The demand
was good, and although the offerings did not 1
fully meet the views of buyers, the sales reached
5850 bales. Advces from other markets were
favorable, Liverpool ruling steady and un
changed, and New York 1-le higher on spots
and 1@9 points higher on futures. The market
ruled firm throughout and closed steady at Sa
turday's quotations.
The official quotations of the Cotton Exchange
were as follows:

Yesterday was a bad day on the landing and
there was a heavy rain fall after two o'clock.
NotwithstandinT the rain the La Belle was
making strenuous efforts to get discharged and
oif again for Red River last night. The Gov.
Allen arrived late in the day with a big trip, and
had to land at the head of nt. Louis street, there
not being room above. Like the La Belie. she
was working hard to get out again.
Neither the Trenton or Era No. l0 had arrived a
when we left the landing; they were both looked p
for hourly, and will doubtless be found at the
landing this morning. .
The Tom I'arker arrived yesterday, reports
having passed the Era taking on a lot of cattle =
seventy miles above the mouth of Beuf river.
Part of the Lee's cargo was 109 bales cotton,
94 bbls cotton seed oil, 1 of alcohol and 152 of
flour from the OGenieoe.

While the La Belle was coaling at Baton Rouge
one of the roustabouts applied an insulting
epithet to Capt. Wood. for which he received a
blow. Simultaneously with this Capt. Wood was f
struck violently in the face with. it is supposed, t
a lump of coal. in the hands of one of the others.
The blow caused him considerable pain, and he
had to keen his room yesterday in consequence.
Capt. Billy Boardman went along this trip to re
lieve Capt. Woods until he is himself again.

pany a prosperous season with her.
The A. J. Baker with four barges, arrived
yesterday from St. Louis. The Baker brought
a large cargo, as will be seen by her manifest in
another column.
The good work goes gloriously on. Big trips
were in order yesterday; the receipts of sugar,
molasses, cotton, cotton seed and rice, aggro
gating 510 hogsheads. 3080 barrels, 10,493 bales,
19,ss5 sacks and 1258 sacks, and the landing, as
a matter of course. was lively.
The Dawn and La Belle brought 4191 sacks
seed, which is an unusual amount, for during
the whole of November last year only 1500 sacks
were received from Bed River.
Tom Davidson the former well known clctk
of the Bonnie Lee, R. T. Bryarly and other
boats, came down on the La Belle and will re
turn on the Bart Able. Tom is merchandising
near Alexandria, and looks as if the change
agreed with him first rate.
The Frank Pargoud, for the bends to Green
ville, leaves Thursday as usual.

to-day with a big trip, equal to 7630 bales cotton.
