The foreign exchange market was rm at the com- mencement of the week, and some of the leading drawers advanced their rate for sterling at sixty days to 109%, but after the remittances om account of the November interest on fire-twenties held abroad were made the demand for bills diminiahed, and the tendency of rates was downward. On Friday some of whe leading drawers asked 109% for thelr long sight bills, but second hand they were quoted at 109%, and at the close the market was dull at the subjoined rates:—Bankers’ bills on England, at sixty days, 109 m 10034; at three days, 10934 a 109%; commercial bills, 108 a 1083; ‘ills on Paris, at sixty dayay 6.1744 8 5.16%; at three days, 5.15 a 5.14%. At the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday last a resolution was adopted appointing @ committee to draw uy memorial to Congress for a repeal of tho presept tax of three cents per pound on cotton, which, in view of the low price ef the staple and the increased product of other cotatries, will, doubtless, command the attention it Qeserros. In 1966 Great Britain and Ireland con- sumed 1 548,000 bales of American cotton and 2,600,000 bales of cotton grown in indiaand othercountries, which shows that the former has now to compete closely with the latter, although im estimating quantity some al- Jowance must be made for the fact that Indian bales are smaller and lighter than American bales, To the in- creased supply trom india we may attribute the extreme decline which bas taken place in cotton, of the market for which we have, for the time being at least, lost con- trol, The present tax, ander such circumstances, be- comes more than ordinarily oppressive. and the public revenue is suf ciently large to enabie the government to fepesi it without inconvenience, although it yielded about $17,600,000 last year and is estimated te produce nearly double this sum during the present year. ‘The, eutjoived stavement shows the highest prices at ‘whi the leading stocks sold at the first regular board on tach of the following >atardays: Od. 19, o Mal. au Company... ..- Clevelond & Pitsburg. 82) 81g S235 : Cleveland & Toledo... 104 108 q 104 1023, & Rock Island 96 Wig KG Chl, & Northwestern. 45), 4735 48 47 Chie &Northwostern pf Oy 6555 ry Col & Ca.

Two Jerseyites in the Ri rty-three Rounds Between Charley Pfice d Jim Watson—A General Fight Upen the Deci- sion of the Referee. The quiet Sabbath morninig was again disturbed by another disgraceful encounter between two pugiliuts who met to settle their little grievances and to contest tor a purse of $500. Both parties hail from Jersey City. Their “ mill’? was fought on the soil of their native State. One is employed in and about the Long Dock. Watson is about twenty-pine years of age, weil built, with @ coarse, heavy appearance, apd 1 a coal heaver. Price ts about thirty-two years of age and works for the Jersey Railroad Company. Both were to fight at one handred and fifty-four pounds weight, but Watson had about three pounds the better of his opposent. Most of the money staked was put up by their friends and considerable interest was taken in the maticr, while no little amount of money changed hands, It is said that the match was made some time ago and that the principals were promised protection from the proper authorities in case they voted aod used their in- fluence for certain candidates in the late election. It seems that the latter promise was faithfully {uifilled, as none of the authorities put im an a] rance during the fight. Both principals and their ds met at alow groggery on tue Jeraey tate, about two o'clock yesterday morning, and, after imbibing pretty for av hour or more, they started in conveyances for the ground se- lected. ‘The night was anything but pleasant; a heavy rain etorm hay: set im made it vory disagreeabie; in fact, it was exceedivgiy cbily, aud many stayed away on that account. Taking the Hackensack road they soon reached the top of the hill and proceeded up the turn- pike about two miles to what is known as ** Shady Hol- jow,”’ a very romantic littie spot and exceedingly well adapted for the purpose. Here a ring was pitched, and goon the seconds, with their bottle holders, together with their necessary implements, met in their respective corners.
