THE DAILY NEWS. Moo alight and Darkness. Lights upon tho water dancing. Eyes beneath the moonlight glancing, Words spoken low; Filled my heart with tender fancying. Long, long ago. Clouds above a dark sea binding. Sighs with sad sea breezes bleudlug. Words wild with woe; All my heart with fears were rending Long, long ago. Tears that brought with them estranging, Hopes and fancies all deranging, Hearts altered so; Love, like hie, forever changing, Since long ago. (iominerrial. Exports.

NEW ORLEANS, February li-COTTON-The sales to-day were confined to 2700 bales, at a decline ot *a*c We now quote : Ordinary at 16*al7*c; Good Ord nary at 17Xal8*o; Low Middling at 19a 19*c; Middling at 19*u20c; and Strict Middling 020*0. Prices were unusually irregular and unsettled, and buyers differeu *aj?c in their opir iona of the mar? ket, some quoting at less, and others at more than the above figures, which, however, we regard as ap? proximating as nearly as possible to the facts. In comparing them with Tue-dny's prices, it will be seen that while Middliug is the Barn o as then quoted, Low Middling and the Ordinary grades show a net falling off of hie. Compared with last Friday's rates, they show a net advance of l*al*c. The demand was checked by the discouraging ten? or of the Li vcrpool accounts, and tho decline in gold and foreign .exchan^-.-, end continued limited throughout the'day. Hence tho comparatively small business noted above.
