THE tXCITEMEXT IX THE PRIST
51 A UK ET.
New York Bulletin, May 22.
Yesterday there was a feverish and
excited feeling in the trade, caused by
the unsettled and demoralized condi
tion of prints in jfTbbers' hands, which
restricted tbe demand for other cotton
productions. There appears to be &
lack of confidence all round for the
moment, and both jobbers andretailers
are proceeding with tbe utmost caution
in their purchases, and are only buying
such goods as are actually required for
"stocking up" purposes.
Prints are nominally unchanged in
agents' hands, and the best makes of
light fancies and shirtings are held at
9 and 8c respectively, at which prices,
however, sales are comparatively light.
The example of H. B. Claflin & Co.,
was followed to-day by Kayne, Spring,
Dale & Co., who offered a line of fancy
prints under the Wabash ticket at the
low figuic of 6i cents. This drive at
tracted a good many buyers, but some
disappointment was expressed because -more
styles were not offered as waa ex
pected from the announcement made.
TTaited States Economist and Dry Golds Ite
parter, May SS.
Prints have been the objective point,
and the market has been in one con
tinual tremor throughout the week, as
to each succeeding move. To some
extent Messrs. H. B. Claflin & Co.
have been doing a missionary business,
although in the first instance their
action was taken simply on account of
the irregular prices the jobbers of the
Western markets had made, though
following each saoaessive move of H.
B. C. & Co.
There is no doubt that prices bave
been of a most irregular character
with the jobbers, ranging frbtn 6Jc. to
9c. for Standard Fancies, although if
the goods for which the low prices
have been made are carefully examined,
they will be found to be anything but
what are called desirable styles. In
faot it is impossible to get choice work
at anything less than regular prices,
which are Sc. for shirting styles, and
Sic. and 9c. for fancies, while some
buyers will not touch the job priced
goods under any circumstances.
TliEOBACCO TRADE.
Its Present hlrou Position and the
Prospect of Prices Au ucoura?
Iij;r Ilxlilbit fur Producers.
New Yerk Tribune, May 22.
Ti.e past year has been a most eventful
one m the trade. Severe drouth last spring
burnt up all tbe plants, and tbe dry weather
continued so long as to prevent any possi
bility of rep'.antiug. About the 1st oi June
a large speculative demand began, peisous
in the planting disincts having concluded
there could not possibly be more th.ui one
third of an average crop. At that time
''lugs' were held at fiom 41 to 5i cents,
from which price they advanced rapidly,
under speculative manipulation and con
tinued complaints Horn tbe West, to 9 and
10i
cents. Medium itat advanced, irom
and G cents, until it readied
and 14 cents, while good
fine leaf and choice selections
oh
124
and
advanced from 8 aud 121 cents to 10 and 2o
cents. This almost unprecedented rue in
prices had two effects it checked consump
tion and drove exporters from "the market,
leaving tbe speculators (nearly all from the
West) either the alternative of selling out
to one another, or of putting up satisfactory
margins with their t actors for the twrnoee
of locking upobacco aud compelling a rise
m value, importers and contractors were
thus naturally arrayed against holders, both
sides wailing to take advantage of ;iuy
weakness. Tlte result was a very
quiet lieriod during the winter, without
any material change in prices. This contin
ued until recently, when reports of frost
through the tebacco belt, and serious injury
to plants, had a stimulating effect, under
which some choice lots were sold to ex
porters, who were in great need of sup
plies. A scarcity of plants this season will
be much more serious titan ever before, as
it has been almost impossible to procure
seed in sufficient quantities to snppiy tlte
demand, in fact, tltere has been so much
difficulty in this reipect, tliat a leading
commission house, anticipating tlte neces
sity, during the winter, obtained as much
fine seed as possible, aud forwarded it to
tbe editors of Western papers, to be distrib
uted among the planteis. Tlie stock of to
bacco now lield in New York is more than
double tbe quantity on hand at a corre
sponding period for several years, but there
are large orders to be filled by contractors,
which have been extended from time to
time, and which will consume a large por
tion of tbe desirable grades. The priuc'ial
portion of stock now ltere is of an undesir
able and nondescript character, and there
can be little doubt tliat really good grades
in sound condition would bring even better
prices than were obtained last tall.

Ax incident in a new play is quoted as
very French in its moralhv. A gentleman
is in lore with an actress. He calls on the
manager cf the theatre; lie pleads his love
for an introduction. The lady's name is
Marietta. "But," says the manager, "I saw
you with a lady in your box last night a
charming woman, my friend, a lovely
woman, to whom you paid much attention."
"That was my wife," tesponded the lover
indignantly. "Do jou think I would be

NEGRO MIGRATION.
A ZSertbern Republican Orson ou the
Recent Xasbvlllo Convention.
Chicago Tribune, May 22.
A convention of colored people is in
session at .Nashville. Jit was called and
has met to consider a foolish project
the mass emigration or the negro pop
illation of Tennessee to some other
State. The delegates are beset by the
agents of different railroads and inun.
dated with placards and circulars tcsti
fying to the wondrous excellence of
the Boil of half-a-dozen localities, and
tke.passionate longing of the whites of
each of these sections to rcceivo their
colored brethren, lend them money,
give them food, and elect them to
office. A large number of the dele
gates are firmly impressed with the be
lief that they can get free, transporta
tion to any city in Missouri or Kansas,
and will be presented, upon their ar
rival at their destination, with 40 acres
of land, a mule, and a year s rations
This singular delusion can be traced to
no one person. The neeroes them
elves do not seem to know where they
got the idea, but they refuse to be ar
cued out of it.
No friend of the American negro can
favor any such wholesale movement as
the Tennessee blacks propose. It is
true that the rich bottom lands of the
Mississippi can only be cultivated by
the colored race, and have therefore
been a fit field for immigration hither
to; but they aro probably now amply
stocked with labor. Streams of ne
eroes have been flowinc into them for
two years. We are informed that one
third of the wholepopulation of-Hunts-
vi lie, Ala., has emigrated west since
1873. The same story is told of other
towns in Alabama and lieorgia.
The very best thing for the netroes
to do is to stay where they are. If they
concentrate into two or three States
and make them African Republics, they
will simply deprive themselves of the
advantages of the wealth, enterprise
and culture of the white Southerners,
and will lay the foundation for a variety
of political evils, dangerous to the sta
bility of our institutions, which need
not be enumerated here. Moreover,
they should remember the wise saying
of "Poor Kiciiard" that "Three re
moves are as bad as a fire." One often
consumes the scanty savings of months
of labor. The idea of moving from
Tennessee to Kansas. or Missouri is es
pecially foolish. Kansas is stricken by
the grasshopper plague, and u notori
ous for political corruption. Missouri
is much more deeply sunk in Bourbon-
ism than Tennessee is. In the latter
State, there is very little trouble be
tween whites and blacks. If the latter
persevere, do honest work, and stay
where thev are instead of chasing a
will-o'-the-wisp around the country,
they will ere long obtain every needed
right and privilege, not under the harsh
- V ii. , , p
directions oi ine law, out irom an en
lightened public opinion.
POLITICAL, PURITANISM! IS OHIO.
Cincinnati Commercial.
If the Republican party is to be run
and regulated according to the New
England village notions, there ii an
end of its power in the State and in
fluence in the nation. There is no ob
jection, of which we bave information,
to the repentance of sins by any citi
zen, provided he repents his own sins.
It is necessary, however, to place some
restrictions upon the capacity which
our fellow-citizens have to get them
selves into trouble about the sins of
their neighbors. This is a pretty large
country, and there is room in Ohio for
several popular movements without
alarming friction. The pretension of
the Democracy that the degree of social
freedom demanded by the people at
large is dependent upon the success of
their political organization, should be
made as absurd in the popular appre
hension as it is when we weigh the
realities. If there is to be a candidate
ran for Governor of Ohio on the plat
form that we shall have no fires in our
houses on the Sabbath day, and drink
no malt liquors outside our own doors,
let us understand it.
THE SPRING FASHIONS IX PARIS.
As to tlte spring fashions, they are now
like the trees, in full bloom. Tlte latest
and best-worn combination of colors at
present is sahl to be black and white. A
superb evening toilet, for instance, which
was lately made by tbe celebrated Lafer
riere, was composed of black velvet with
au overdress and drapery of dead white
surah. Large parasols of black silk bor
dered with a single band of Valenciennes
insertion and a ruffle of wide Valenciennes
lace are very fashionable. In bonnets, tlte
wild profusion of flowers, which were the
rage at the beginning of the season, have
been replaced in some instances by a
single supero feather, enrving en
tiiely lound the outside of tlte
hat, the inside of the brim of
which is filled in with a rouleau either of
velvet or of surah, to match the thus oi the
feather. These bonnets are of course very
costly, such long plumes being extremely
expensive. In "flowers the blended field
flowers continue to be much in vogue, but
the highest fashion lias decreed that roses
are not to be worn cn bonnets anv longer.
They are worn nevertheless, tbe dictates of
La Mode to the contrary notwitlistanding.
Overskirts in full toilet are replaced by
draperied scarfs crossing tlte front of the
dress. The combination of plaids with
plain materials in suit continues to be very
eflective, and will be still more popular
when the suits in wash material for sum
mer wear are brought out. Oxford linens
in combinations of stripes and solid colors
will be much worn this summer, and so,
also, will be embroidered cambrics. White
needtework upon dark blue and ecru is tlie
favorite style in this las-.
TnE following are said to be infallible
signs of married couples. If you see a lady
drop her glove, and a gentleman by tlie side
of her kindly telling her to pick it up, you
need not hesitate in forming your opinion;
or if you meet a couple in the field, tlie
gentlemau twenty yards in advance of the
lady, wlio, perhaps, is getting over a stile
with difficulty or plucking her way through
a muddy patch; or. if you see a lady whose
beauty and accomplishments attract tlte at
tention of every gentleman in the room but
one, you can bave no difficulty in deter
mining their relationship to each other
tlte one is her husband.

FINAXC1AT.
Business was verv dull with tlie banks
yesterday and we could hear of no change
in ra es. ine demand lor loans is but
limited and the reeular customers of the
various banks bave no difficulty in obtain
ing all reasonable loans at tbe rale of ten
percent, per annum. Brokers' rates are
higlter.
Exchange on Xew York is scarce and in
demand. "The banks buv at rar and sell at
2 por thousand premium.
Gold is firm aud a shade hiaUer. closing
in New York at 116. For tbe small lots
ottered here dealers pay 114, while they
hold at 11G. Silver is taken at 100 for
haives and quarters.
Ierne6see bonds are quoted 111 ew lork
at 50. This is for those of the fuuded and
registered series carrying interest from last
January.
Our local securities are very quiet and
dull. Comptroller's warrants are bought
at SSCflO and ate sold at 92. The new
treasury notes aie bought and sold the some
as the ordinary warrant.
J. he new issue Bank of Tennessee notes
arc very quiet, as no one cues to buy.
I bey may be quoted at 30c, nominally.
ror quotations ol our other stocks and
bonds we refer to those given by the Nash

COTTOIT.
The market continues dull and un
changed. Holders are willing to part with
their stocks at quotations, but they find no
demand at these rates. Most of the cotton
on baud is of inferior grades, and these
especially are now neglected. There is,
however, a good deal of blddine under
quotations, and it is possible this may
strengtlten the market so tliat tlte accumu
lation will pass off more freely. We quote:
