Dlscnsstne the Bond Issue Resolu. lions in the Senate The Hawaiian ! Matter Up in the Honse Mr. Catchings Uses Unparlia ; mentary Lianenajee to Mr. Boutelle His j Words Taken ! . " - .' . : Bown. . : " v SENATE. '" " . "Washington, Feb. 2. In the Senate to-day Senator Quay gave notice of an amendment which he proposed to offer to the House Tariff bill. " ; It consists of several sections, one permitting silver bullion to: he deposited , and coined for the benefit of owners and the -other for the purchase of 145,000-ounces of fine gold every month and the issue of treasury notes in payment therefor; and a third repeals .all rets authorizing' the issuing ofbo'nds, . , , The resolution"of inquiry offered yes terday by Senator Peff er, requiring the names of firms making offers for bonds and of those to which bonds are issued, etc. , was laid before the Senate, and Senator Sherman moved jto strike out the words: "Requiring names to be given," saying that the publication would be contrary to precedent and might be very injurious to the public credit. Some discussion followed upon the resolution itself and upon Senator Sher man s motion. Senator Sherman withdrew bis amend ment, while repeating his conviction that the resolution was establishing a very bad example; and the resolution was agreed to. The resolution of mquiry offered yes terday by Senator Allen on the same sub ject was also agreed to. The resolution heretofore offered by Senator Stewart, denying the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury to issue bonds was laid before the Senate and Senator Vilas offered aa amendment, to add to the amendment of Senator Quay, which declares that the money de rived from the bonds cannot be lawfully applied to any other purpose than the redemption ot greenbacks, the words "except in accordancewith such acts of appropriation by Congress as may require the use of the same." senator Vilas proceeded to discuss the question which was, he said, divided into two parts the right of the Secretary to issue the bonds; and second, the -use to which the money might be applied. During the progress of Senator Vilas' speech, the Tariff bill was brought over from the House and at 4:15 o'clock was laid before the Senate, and, on motion of Senator Voorhees, was referred to the Committee on Finance. An order was made to print 2,000 copies in document form, with index, for'the use of the Sen ate. "" Senator Hoar spoke briefly in reply to Senator Vilas, and then an agreement was made that the resolution should go oyer untiL Wednesday next, when it will come up in the morning hour. By unanimous consent, the Federal Election Repeal bill was given the right of way for Monday, and will be taken up immediately after the routine morning business. The Senate, at 5 o'clock wept into executive session, and at 5:15 o'clock ad journed until Monday next. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. In the House to-day, immediately after the reading of the journal, Mr. Catch ings. from the Committee on Rules, re ported a special order for the consider ation of the report from the Committee on Foreign Affairs relative to Hawaiian affairs. This provided that every day for three days the House should consider this question, and at 4 o'clock on the last day the previous question should be ordered and a vote taken on the resolu tion and pending amendments. Mr. Boutelle made a point of order against the special order just brought in. He asserted that his question of high privileges should take precedence over a special order. - 1 The Speaker, in the course of his de- isiou, said that the special order had een arrived at by the House and not by the Committee on Rules. He, therefore, held to his former ruling, and was of the opinion that. when the resolution of the . , . ... i - i .f oreign anairs committee iihu ueen ue cided, the privileged resolution of the gentleman from Maine might then be taken up and disposed of . A motion for the previous question was put and agreed to, and the Speaker recog; nizd Mr. Reed to speak to the question. Mr. Reed yielded a few minutes to Mr. Boutelle, who said he desired to call at tention of the chair to the fact hat if seven eighths of the members of the House desired to consider his privileged resolution it could not be done except by voting down the previous question or voting down the special order He as serted the gentleman from Mississippi (Catchings) had been constituted, sole guardian of the privileges and rights of the House. "Except the gentleman from Maine," interrupted Mr. Catchings. ... Mr. Reed said the difficulty could have very easily been settled by raising the question of consideration against any other matter broughtup. The committee seemed to have arrived at its conclusions by the same process of reasoning which women were said to employ. They were said to arrive at conclusions without going through the intermediate 6teps of logic. Republican laughter. Mr. Catchings was recognized and spoke in favor of the special order of the Committee on Rules. In referring to Mr. Reed, he said he was too great a man to descend to the language used by his colleagues. " Democratic applause The special osder had not been submitted for the very obvious reasons to the gen tleman from Maine who had been in dulging in fantastic and bedlamite gyra tions on this floor. Mr. Boutelle demanded that the gen tleman's words should be taken down and the gentleman be called to order, and he also demanded that the gentle- n take his seat. This Mr. nAtchinsrs did. amidst tne laughter of the House, and the excite ment continued while the House waited for the official reporter to transcribe his notes and hand the copy to the clerk. The Speaker then called the House to order and in breathless interest the members listened to the reading of -the objection able words.! v 1 Mr. Catchings' was permitted to re sume his remarks. He had not uttered a complete sentence before Mr. Boutelle, under the mistaken imDression that Mr. Catchings was again indulging in per sonalities, interrupted him. The Speaker assured him that nothing oojectionable had been uttered, for the reason that the gentleman had spoken only about a dozen words, and Mr. Catchings again proceeded. Again he was interrupted, this time with more reason, for he said that he (Catchings). in common with many other gentlemen on the floor of the House, had regarded the rrsntlpman from Maine as afflicted with a species of harmless mania for making an exhibition of himself. Laughter on Democratic side. . . J Mr. Boutelle demanded that those words be taken down, and he desired the Speaker to call the gentleman to order. and that he should rule upon the words of Mr. Catchings. ' -1 j There was another interval while the House was waiting for the words to be transcribed from the reporter's . notes, during which the members crowded into tile space in front of the Speaker's desk. When order was restored the words were read and the Speaker, after weighing the sentence carefully, -said he hardly thought the language parliamentary. Mr. Catchings was called upon to ex plain, which he did and then finished his ' speech upon the report of the Committee on Rules., - --- -J.v. - A vote was then taken on the resolu tion and if was unanimously agreed to i and Mr. McCreary. chairman of the For- i eign Affairs committee, was recognized and spoke in favor of the resolutions. Mr. Hitt then spoke in fayor of his substitute for the committee's resolution, but did not complete his remarks. The resolution reported from the For eign Affairs committee reads as fol lows: -. -"- - ;: ' -. Resolved, That it is the sense of the House that the, action, of -the United States Minister, in employing United States naval forces and illegally aiding in overthrowing the constitutional Gov ernment' of 4 the. 'Hawaiian, Islands in January, 18S3, and in setting up-in its place a provisional Government not re publican in form and in opposition to the will of a majority of people, was contrary to the traditions of our republic and the spirit of our Constitution and should be and is condemned. Resolved, That we heartily approve the principle announced by the Presi dent of the United States, tha interfer ence with the domestic affairs of an. in dependent nation is contrary to the spirit of American institutions. , And it is fur ther the bense of this House that the an nexation ,of the Hawaiian Islands to our country, or the assumption of a protec torate over them by our Government is uncalled for and inexpedient; that the people of that country shall have absolute freedom and independence in pursuing their own line of policy, and that foreign .intervention in the political affairs of the islands will not be regarded with in difference by the Government of the United States. Mr. Hitt offered the following substi tute for the above resolution: Resolved, That it is the sense of this House that the demand caused by the President of the United States by his imperative instructions to be made on the 19th of December last, upon the President and officers of the Hawaiian Government, that it promptly relinquish all authority, and his proposed erection of a monarchy in its 6tead was an un warranted intervention in the affairs of a friendly and recognized Government, contrary to the law of nations, the policy and traditions of this republic 'and the spirit of the Constitution. Resolved, That the provisional Gov ernment of Hawaii having been duly recognized, the highest international in terest requires that it shall pursue its own line of policy, and foreign interven tion in the political affairs of these islands would be regarded as an act un friendly to the Government of the United States. Just before the debate on the Hawaiian resolution began a message was received from the President transmitting a letter from the Secretary of State, accompany ing some communications from Minister Villi8 at Hawaii. J.he letter or transmittal and tne ac companying correspondence was read. when Mr. Boutelle inquired whether there was not a letter from President Bole, because he had heard that such a letter had been received in the city. The Speaker was non-committal, and simply said that the clerk had read all that were sent. : Mr. Morse, Republican, of Massachu setts, offered a resolution extending to Mr. Richardson, Demecrat, of Tennessee, the thanks of the House for the efficient and impartial manner in which he had presided over the Committee of the Whole during the discussion on the Tariff bill. The resolution was uuani mously agreed to, amid the applause of both sides of the House, The House at 5 o'clock adjourned until to-morrow at noon. A STREET DUELS W. B. Meetze Shot by a Dispensary Witness on the Streetsof Columbia. ' Columbia, S. C, Feb. 2. Davis Miller shot W. B. Meetze this afternoon in front of Trial Justice Stack's office, and the wound may prove fatal. Miller was a wit ness in a trial of R. L. Seal, charged with violating the Dispensary law and gave some evidence against the accused. It is alleged that there is a regular con spiracy in Columbia to intimidate wit nesses and prevent their testifying in be half of the State in prosecutions under the Dispensary law. f Meetze is a notorious character and has a reputation as a "bad man." He tackled Miller after the trial about his evidence and they had angry words. Trial Justice Stack attempted to keep the men apart. Meetze kept curbing Miller aud telling him to draw his pistol. Meetze backed away from Stack. Miller wrenched himself loose and drew a pair of pistols. Meetze drew his pistol. There is doubt as to who fired first. Me?tze fired one ball through Miller's coat under tbe arm; and another ball tore open the coat sleeye. Miller placed a ball in Meetze's groin. Five shots were fired.three by Miller. A crowd gathered around and threats were mails against Miller, who had stopped shooting as soon as his an tagonist fell. Charles Hendrix, an ex bar tender drew . a piatol which was wrenched from him by Sergeant More-h-ad. who arrested Miller and disarmed him. Viien the crowd drew around Miller, Morehead drew his' pistol and awarned the crowd that he would shoot the first man who interfered with his prisoner. The crowd fell back and - Mil ler was taken to iail. Meetze may live The encounter took place within a few feet of the spot where several years' ago Meetze killed J yn Clark.

A Meet in k of tbe Kxecnttve Commit tee or the National Association of ' Democratic Clubs Called Pre testing Against Importing ; Cigar MakersTbeHih ,f Point Postmaster Confirmed. j Washington, Feb. 2. William L. Wilson, chairman of the Way s and Means committee, who is also chairman of the executive committee of ; the National As sociation of Democratic Clubs, has called a meeting of the latter committee to be held at the Ebbitt house, Washing ton, on February 8th. Mr. Wilson states that the meeting will be "a very import ant one" and insists that ' every member shall be present.,. The call' was not given to the press, but - was 6ent out "irom club headquarter to each member. The movement has become known and given rise to considerable speculation as to the object. On the 8th of February the Tariff bill will be in the Senate and it is said the administration and the leadeis in the House feel the necessity for wider organization and more systematic popu lar discussion. The Democratic club organization of. 18U2 is intact, and the managers say has been improved by a great deal of quiet work in the interval. Mr. J ulian b. Carr, of Durham, is the mem ber of this committee from North Caro lina. A protest from the international cigar makers' unicn of Chicago, 111 : against the importation of Cuban cigar makers at Key West, Fla., has been received at the treasury Department. The protest states that there are thousands of Amer ican cigar makers out of employment," and they demand a strict enforcement of the alien contract labor law. Super intendent Stump replied to the protest- ants that he would, as he has always done, enforce the law in all its phases. The orders directing the top-heavy gun-boats Machias and Castine to pro ceed to Norfolk for alterations have been revoked and orders have been issued directing that the vessels be repaired at the New York navy yard. The change is due to a vigorous request from Rear Admiral Gherardi, the; commandant of the New York yard, backed by members of the New York delegation in Congress. In ordering that the repairs be made at the Norfolk yard, Secretary Herbert was influenced by the fact that the climate of Norfolk is suitable for work at this time. But Admiral Gherardi and the New York Congressmen reported that the New York yard -was fully qualified to do the work; that Norfolk had plenty of business, and that if the gunboats were not repaired at New York a large number of workmen would be f urloughed. The appeal was effective and resulted in the change from Norfolk to New York. The Ma chias, is lying at the New York yard, and the Castine will be brought therefrom Portsmouth, N. H., at an early daj. Secretary Herbert received a cable message from Rear Admiral Benham at Rio to-day which he declines to make public. He stated that it had no general public interest. It is, accordingly, un derstood that the dispatch involved a question of international policy, which was the one reservation which Secretary Htrbert Jmade in ; his promise to give out all future dispatches. The Senate to-day confirmed the nomination of Rowan C. Charles, post master at High Point, N. C. The retirement of Admiral Benham in April next by operation of law and the transfer of Admiral Stanton to Admiral Benham's place will leave the North At lantic or home station without a com mander-in-chief and it" is understood that Commodore Richard W. Meade, who will become a rear admiral within a year, nas Deen selected for the position. 1 he enort to repeal the tax on btate bank circulation was beaten in the Com mittee on Banking to-day by a vote of 8 to 9. The vote was taken on the bill of Representative Cox, of Tennessee, which relieves State banks from any tax on their circulation, but does not extend the relief to circulation issued by pri vate individuals or corporations. The result is regarded as cutting off the possibility of favorable State bank legis lation in the , present Congress. After taking the adverse vote, motions were carried to reconsider and then to lay on the table, which permanently disposes of the bill. A Letter Prom Minister Willis. Washington, Feb, 2. The President sent to Congress to day a letter received from Minister Willis in reference to the reply of President Dole to Mr. Willis' request for specifications as to what Mr. Cleveland termed Mr. Dole's "most ex traordinary" document. In forwarding the letter to the President, Secretary Gresham says that dispatches 25, 26 and 27. received from Minister Willis, are not enclosed. They relate solely to routine legation matters and the Minister's ac counts. The letter of Minister Willis to Mr. Gresham is as follows: "Legation of the U. S., ) Honolulu, HI., Jan. 12, 1894. f Hon. W. Q.

'The emphasis above 13 mine.

Thirty-five Applicants for License from the Supreme Court Block - ade Whiskey Seized Illness of Col. Benehan Cameron Slandering His Own fc People. - Messenger Bureau, Raleigh, Feb. 2. f . The Supreme court this morning be gan the examination of applicants for license as attorneys. There are thirty three from North Carolina and two from other States. Of those from this State seventeen are from the Universiry. All the justices are on the bench. Ai the applicants passed the exami nations. Three of them are colored. It is intimated that in future the examina tions will be written and not oral. The names of the applicants will not be given to the press until to-morrow. TheRepublican-Populist coalition must be a sort of understood thing, as it is quite feely said here by persons of both parties that ex:Congressman John Nichols of this city will be the nominee for State treasurer. Deputy collector Mebane to-day made report of the seizure of 284 gallons of whiskey near Buchanan, owned by J. A. Norwood, because the casks were refilled and the stamps reused. The clerical force in the. office of the collector of revenue is now complete and is as follows: Chief clerk, T. B. Womack; list e'erk, W. H. Walker; stamp clerk, E. B. Roberts; cashier, F. G. Simmons; bonded whiskey accounts, R. H. Jones and N. A. Brown; records of taxes paid. H. n Granger; bonded brandy accounts, James G. Steed.

I GoL Benehan Cameron, who for some weeks was sick at his home here, has gone to Baltimore for special treatment. He is suffering from a complication of diseases. The report of State Geologist Holmes is very . satisfactory to the geological board. A great deal of excellent and thorough work was done in 1893. In the last issue of the well known re ligious paper, the Independent, is a ''symposium" on lynchings. A corre spondent who states himself to be a resident of this State has some queer and very hard things to say about mis cegenation, which he alleges is the true cause of the crimes which cause the lynchings. The article will no doubt be condemned, as it deserves to be. The business of the State Alliance bus iness agency continue to fall off. There are 200 convicts in this State un der 20 years of age. The movement for a reformatory for this class has by no means died out. Your correspondent is assured to-day that the alleged Christian preacher, P. W. McDonald, has been driven" out of this State by the exposures made of his past life. A Prize Fight in Richmond. Richmond, Va., Feb. 2. Two New Ybrk pugilists, giving their names as Edwjird Murphy and John Monihan, managed to evade the police here early this morning and engage in a mill which resulted in a victory for the former. The purse was small and the battle short, lasting but two rounds. The first round developed no slugging, but the second was a fight from the" start.Murphy landed hard on his antagonist's ear and ham mered Lin on the n ck, driving him to the noor. MouiUan could not rise, be cause as fast as he would attempt to do so Murphy would knock him down. The affair wound up in a real "scrap" between the men, in which no regard was paid to seconds or referee, and the spectators separated them. All parties were arrested. Murphy went to jail, lie was also arrested on a charge of highway robbery committed here last March. Frank Wongo, the Indian pugilist, was Murphy's second,"while a Norfolk sport performed the same ofnee for Monihan.

The negotiations for arbitration of the differences between the Government and the insurgents have been continued during the past week Admiral Di Gama's written, proposition has been submitted to Benham, commander of the United States fleet. Tha! Government's nrnrwii. tions were completed yesterday and were placed in the hands of Gen. Carvalho last night to be delivered to Rear Admiral Benham tosday. G. M. Rollins has been Admiral Da Gama's ao-onr. in o - tae negotiations. He says that his chief is anxious for a peaceful settlement. The Government is willing to 'make a com promise, despite all warlike report. The trouble over discharging the cargoes of Ameacan vessels interrupted the nego tiations, but did not stop them perma nently. The spectacle of the American fleet ready for action yesterday was inatrnili cent. All Americans in the city are re joicing over Rear Admiral Benham's decisive action in behalf of the United btates commerce. The British Minister cabled 2,000 words concerning the inci dent to the London Foreign Office. Per sons sympathizing with the insurgents are bitter toward the American rvm- mander. Tney 6ay that he acted solely in the interest of President Peixotto, and otherwise misrepresented his course. Admiral da Gama's position in the har bor grows worse daily. Three desperate night attacks on Ormacaco have failed, while the Government has mounted sev eral new seven-inch guns at that point. Rear Admiral Benham said vesterdav that Admiral Da Gana will not be able to leave the harbor even, unless he acts soon, but he can surrender and obtain asylum with us at any time. admiral Da Gania said vesterdav that Admiral Mello, with the insurgents' cruiser Republica and three transports of troops, was approaching Santos, with an army, that was marching on the city. The naval and military forces ought to reach bantos to-day. he said, and pro ceed at once to the attack. The insur gent commander expects that Santos will surrender at once. Only the insur gents believe the reports of the coming attack on Santos. . The young officers of the insurgent fleet in. the harbor are impatient for ac tion. They urged Admiral Da Gama fiercely yesterday to ght the United States fleet and they may persuade him at any time to bombard Rio de Janeiro. The foreign fleets might not prevent the bombardment in case two days' notice should be given, for Rio, with its forts on the hills and its cannon on the beach, is not an open city. The Government fleet was reported off the harbor last nignt, and the captain of tne America came ashore to get orders. 1 he America may go south before at tacking the insurgents' fleet. Many new caes of yellow fever are re ported here. The deaths number more than thirty daliy. The health' of all aboard the United States warships is periect. j London, Feb. 2. The commanders of the various warships at Rio Janeiro have received from Admiral Da Gama the following circular letter: . "At the beginning of the revolution, Rio Janeiro was defeneded by only six field pieces and was at the mercy of the squadron in the harbor. The chiefs of the foreign naval fleets in a collective and unanimous note declared that they would oppose with force a bombardment of the city, unless it was provoked from the land. President Peixotto therefore withdrew his field pieces. This was a mere stategem. The building of fort works in the' city, - with heavy and numerous guns, was imme diately commenced first secretly and then completed openly. All the hills around the city were fortified. Monas teries were conyerted into fortresses and trenches were dug in the streets. The Government soon opened fire on the squadron. Are not you to blame for the change? Should not you force President Peixotto to keep his compact? The squad ron's task is more arduous and danger ous, but we will not falter. Our compact will be kept to the last, but I reserve the right to reply to the city batteries when I desire without giving notice. The blame of the result will be on you." Admiral Benham; commanding the American squadron, replied that he would not interfere with military opera tions, but would protect American ves sels. ' Temporarily Embarrassed. . JtNew York, Feb. 2. The old and well-known House of Wm. Eggert & Co., wholesale dealers in tobacco in Cincinnati arid at 25 Pearl and 20 ciiff streets, this city, has become temporarily embarrassed, and has been forced to ask a general extension from the creditors. The firm proposes to pay in full on notes at 9, 15, 18, 21. 24 and 27 months, which it is thought, will be generally accepted. It is said to-day that most of the credi tors had already agreed to the propo sition of settlement. Tbe embarrass ment of the firm is attributed to a va riety of causes the general depression I in business, carrying a big stock of to ! bacco, inability to make sales or to rc- alizexra collateral, poor collections and ! losses by the failure of others. Fiirsimmons' Demands Exhorbitant, New York, Feb. 2. CoL, John Hop kins, representing Dan Creedoa, and i v, Fitzsimnion3 met this afternoon for the purpose of completing arrangements for the proposed Creedon-Fitzsimmons fisht. CoL Hopkins reported that the new club at Jacksonville had offered a $10,000 purse, with $1,000 for each man as training expenses. Fitzsimmons said he would not fight for less than a $15,000 purse. He also wanted the club to put UD 45.000 to reimburse the men incase it failed to bring off the fight, and further t insisted that each mau should put up $2,500 to guarantee his appearance at the j ringside. CoL Hopkins said those terms I were exorbitant and refused to agree to Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report ; FJJRS Powder ' COMMERCIAL NEWS. Stocks and Bonds in New York The ! Grain and Provision Markets of Chicago. New York, Feb. 2.-On the passage of the Wilson Tariff bill an effort was made to break American Sugar. It was partially successful at the opening, when the price was momentarily depressed fto 76. The decline brought in supporting orders, however, and the price steadily mounted to 79. Distilling and Cattle Feeding, according to the wiseacres of the exchange, should have been a sale on account of the legislation just passed upon by Congress, but in this case, as in Sugar, their predictions were not fulfilled The stock ranged between 27 j and 27 throughout the day, but it is to be said in this case that there was considerable ''washing." Chicago Gas was in demand throughout and advanced li per cent. Western Union was also prominent Ini point of activity and lost per pent, for the day. The old story about inside selling and losses to follow pn account of the expiration of the tele phone patents were revived. The bears pn the stock also laid stress on the pro posed increase in the capital stock of the Bell Telephone company. Delaware and Hudson made a further gain to 138 and Manhattan rose li toJ23j. In the case jot the former there was some gossip about an increase in the dividend rate to follow the retirement of its high interest paying bonds. The directors usuallv set- file the dividend rate for the vear in jMarch. So far as the general market is jconcerned. it can be said that the sub- fscriptions for the new Government loan Idid not come up to the expectations of jthe bulls, and, therefore, they were not disposed to inter into new engagements. Still the market held firm duiina- the Iday and when the Industrials had their little spurt m th last hour a general though slight advance took place. Sugar just preyious to the close, settled back to t and Western Union sold at itslowest point. This resulted in a reaction of i to per cent, in other stocks. The market left off about firm, except for Western Union and Louisville and Nashville. New changes for the day show gains of i to H percent. outside of Western Union, Louisjlle and Nashville and General Electric, which are down 4 to percent. The total sales were 119.000 shares of which 28.000 were American Sugar, 19,000 Whiskey, 14,000 Western Union and 8,000 Chicago Gas, while 32, 000 were unlisted. Railway and miscel laneous bonds were strong. Chicago, Feb. 2. Wheat was very weak during the greater portion of the session, although there ' were no sensa tional declines accompanying the feeling. There was some very showy selling by prominent operators identified with the short side, as well as quite a considerable unloading of long wheat. Within the last hour a hardening of prices took place from no apparent cause, beyond an evident desire on the pirt of early sellers to buy back their wheat. May opened i to f c lower, closing a. 'fraction under yesterday. -'- Corn was weak on account of the con tinued free arrivals. A reaction oc curred shortly before the close, which was due to the recovery in wheat. The market opened at about yesterday's close, sold down c, rallied ic and after some c langing, prices closed at exactly where t ley were yesterday at the same time. Oats were in sympathy with corn. Ke ceipts were 114 cars. The market closed with a gan of cover yesterday for May. irovisicns were weak in tribute to a depressed feeling and decline in prices for live hogs. Perhaps some of the easy feeling was imbibed from grain, but busi ness was so very light that selling from any cause whatever forced a decline. Stocks of provisions were a little less of pork and ribs, and a little more of lard than expected. May pork closed 15c lower, May lard 10j lower and May ribs 2c lower. " The Sun's Cotton Report. New York, Feb. 2. The Sun's cotton review says: Cotton" declined v to 11 points, rallied slightly and then reacted and then closed at 8 to 10 point s lower and steady. Sales were 165,700 bales. Liverpool declined 1 to 1 points, closing barely jf-teady. Spot sales were -8,000 bales at unchanged prices, closing dull. In Manchester the exchange despatch reported yarns hard to sell and cloths dull. New Orleans declined 6 to 8 points. Spot cotton here was l-16c off. Sales were 139 bales for spinning. Southern markets were generally qnit and unchanged. New Orleans, Wilming ton and Baltimore was l-16c lower. Mobile was easy and Memphis easier, but biith unchanged. New Orleans sold 3,500 bales and Memphis 2,400. New Or leans receipts to-morrow are estimated at 5,Q0fr to 5,500 bales, against 10,175 he same dav last week, and 6,285 last year.
