The above gives a wider range to Inferior and

Y* c. and modifies Low Middling to Good Midolmg

rates. At the same time occasional sales were
mane at 12c for average lists of Middling and
12/^c for a htgh style of the same grade, the one

above our outside quotstions.
The demand was good, but the movement was
checked during the morning by brokers asking
concessions, which factors were unwilling to
grant ; after which it became more active, rtsult
mg in the liberal sales noted above. The assort
ment of the offerings was not very satisfactory,
and m several cases brokers were unable to find
the winds wanted, unless in lists which factors
refused to break.

dull at previous rates, with sales of 8C00 bales,

We have no new features to notice in the
Money market, which continues dull and easy.
Under the advance at New York, Gold advanced
%c and Foreign Exchange exhibited a propor
tionate improvement, sterling ruling % '> lc
higher, equal to about 1-10^2-10 $ cent. The
movement in Gold was moderate, but Foreign
Exchange was active. The offerings of New
York eight being liberal, commercial was weaker,
but witüout any quotable decline. Securities
were less active, but a fair business was reported
at the Stock Exchange, where single transac
tions of unusual magnitude were consummated,
aud comprised an unusual proportion of its
entire report, fetocks were without any marked
change. City Bonds showed a marked falling
off attributed to the inaction of the Senate iu
the House Premium Bond bill. Under limited
offerings and some inquiry, State Consols were a
little higher than yesteiday.
We learn that the Administrator of Finance
will receive offers to sell to the city twelve Wharf
Improvement Bonds until the 21st at 12 M.
In reference to the decision iu the State Supreme
Court, in the case of the State vs. Clinton et
al., frank Morey intervenor and appellant, we
notice that Justice Wyly, in a separate opinion,
conours with respect to the particular bonds of
the $1,000,090 loan, held by Morey, but intimates
that the decision extends to none other.
We continue to quote exceptional paper at
_@8$ cent per annum discouut, Aldo at9@10,
and second grade nomiual. Fiftt class mort
gages rule at y cent per annum, whiie second
grade continues entirely nominal.
Gold opened at 112%@U8%, against 113% at
New York, and after a moderate business, closed
at 113}'8@U3%. (%c higher than yesterday),
az&inst 113% in that market. The sales summed
up $22,000, embracing $1000 at 112%, *1000 at
1X2%, *2,00 and $7000 at 113%, and *1000, *5000

No sales of stiver were reported. American
half dollars were still quoted at 105@106, and

Cincinnati C mmeroial, 13th :
" The House Committee on Commerce, on Fri
day, agreed to report Mr. Sayler's Steamboat bill.
This bill is similar in scope to the measure which
Senator Conkling defeated two years ago.
" Briefly stated, its more important provisions
are that steamboat owners shall be liable only to
tho amount of double their stock; that no
patent appliances shall be imposed upon steam
Doat owners without their consent; that tue pre
sent system of fog and night alarm and low-water
eignah shall be replaced by a simpler and better
one. In short, all the inconvenient, oppressive
and extortionate features of the present law are
repealed, and a system in accord with the practi
cal needs and experience of river men substituted
in its place.
" The bill is somewhat shorter and much sim
pler than the one prepared two years ago, and
will doubtless become a law, as Mr. Conklirg will
be likely to abate his opposition to it in view of
his aspirations."

named alter one or the other of the officers of

his platform.

New Orleans, Dec. 30,1875.
Mr. Ed. L. Hall—Sir: I have examined the sample
of Crystal Polishing Powder left with me by you,
with the following result:
I find it to contain no acids or alkalies, on which
account it will be en'irely free from corrosive action
when applied to paint or metallic surfaces. It con
tains no poisonous substances, by which any acci
dent or injury could happen while using it The par
ticles of the Powder are all angular and not rounded,
as in most kind« of sands aud in many other polish
ing agents. The particles are extr mely small and
hard, which, with their angular shape, give it espe
cial value as a rapid and fine polisher.
