The Value of !Mexico.
The popular mind of the country seems to
.have come to the conclusion that a war with
--exie is not onlylinevitable, but desirable. The
Deople of this country. notwithstanding the
immense extent and boundless resources of its
ritory. have an "itching palm" whrew.ih to
arhold of the vast and undeveloped riches of the
-untry of the Montezumas, and appropriate
them to their use and advantage. Ther are
someold fogies, occupying high positlions in
the national legislature, who are weak enough
stop to count the coat of a war with our "si'
tsr republic," but their calculations are disre
gerded, while their vices are drowned by the
elamor of those who think that our national in
and "manifest destiny' demand that the
-nited States should absorb the most valuable
at if not the whole of Mexlceo.
Putting aside all other considerations, there
be no doubt that the acquisition of that
ountry. or even the northern portion of it.
wounld add greatly to our agricultural, mineral
pd olitloal importance. Apropos, we give the
lowing from the report of Mr. E. C. Ctabell,
iormerly a member of COngreas from Florida,
has traveled in Mexico. and given a good
of attention to its minina interests:
At one time there was more than three thous
mines in operation in Chihuahua. yielding
immense revenue. The country was infested
hc.tie Indians. and those mines only could
wor.ed .hich were in the immediate vicinity
sallements. Consequently there are. doubt
athousand more mines in the district un
e and undisoovered. somes of these
- though worked without machin-ry, tand
tow primitive Mexican rprocess, have
stfabulouo wealth. rhe mines of
e alone have pstd a revenuetothe

Ing and exhaustive document, but t let eks one
element of value--It was maide about four years
too late. Its Interest now is purely historiial
and lspeculative, as showing how a great bank
Inl corporation was wrec.ed, and as sluggest
Ing how it mlght have been saved. But If the
exanmination on whlich the report Is basell had
boon made at the time when it. ought to hlave
HenI1 madl--if it had been made upon tbh terms
and l cirtlmstanies ocntmpltlated by the law -
the faillre would have boeen avoidmed tho loss
would have fallen on those who wouldi have hld
only their own actions to bear the iblame of. anid
the ballklng bu.siness would have been sparred a
shock which is too serious notto excilo alarm.

and If the laws which ar II' tlaetid for th1 pro

Fririday Evenitng, Dec. 21. 1877.
GENEItAL IEMARIIKS--''ler contlnues to
be 'onsiderable staEelinness in the market for
good 'oiltmn but lower grades are irregular and
weak. The sales yesterday footed up 1o00 bales
on a slight de.linte from yesterday's prices-say
During the wfek there has boon quite a good
demand; good cottons have hold up pretty well.
but. the lower grades have been weak. The de
cline In prlies of the various grades is given in
our regular report. The receipts for the week
have been very large. viz: 73.392 bales, which is
:17.222 bales above those for the correspond
ing week last year, leaving a deflcit of only
12.564 bales in the receipts at this port as com
Dared with those for the same Dpriod last year.
The effect of the soft weather we have had
throughout this State during the past week,
with its injurious efferts uplon the sugar cane.
is observable in the character of the recelpts of
sugar and molasses. The shipments of sugar
are falling off. while those of molasses are grow
ing into large proportions. Yesterday 110oo hhds
of sugar were received and 9(02'9 hbls of molasses.
an unusually large receipt of the last named
commodity. The stock of molasses in the sugar
sheds is 7852 bbis, against 15,296 same time last
year.
FLOOR-The trade of the past week has been
weak and prices have ruled favorably to buyers
-decline since last Friday of about 25c ? bbl.
Supply large and demand light, and the market
closes as it began-easy to buy and hard to sell.
MESS PORK-Dull and nominal at $12 75 ?
bbl: supply small.
COTTON-The dispatches received at the Cot
ton Exhbange reported Liverpool flat. with very
limited sales, and New York quiet on spots ant
futures slightly higher. Here the market was
quiet with a fair demand. Good cottons con
tinued to show some steadiness, but the feeling
was not strong. and low grades were irregular
and w"ak. The sales amounted to 81oo bales,
transactions being made at a decline on yester
day's prices.
Throughout the week, closing to-day, there
has been a good demand, although prices have
een irregular, and the tone of the market for
the most part weak on the grades below Meo
dium, while the higher grades, owing to their
scarcity, have shown some steadiness. In a
comparison of prices, this and last week, we
note the following changes: Middling, Good
Middling and Middling Fair are tic lower; Low
Middling %Ic lower, and the poorer grades Ke
lower.
The receipts of the week have been very large.
aggregating 73,392 bales or 10,657 more than last
week and 37 .28 more than for the same week
last year. This leaves a deficit in the receipt.
since the first of September, compared with last
year.o of nly 12,t bal-s.
