T THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, MARCH 29, 1874 - SUMNER. Stili More About the Great Senator. Current Esfima’(eé of Him-=~Anecdotes and Analyses. His House and Its Contents. From Our Oun Correspondent. - ‘WASHINGTOS, March 17, 1874, A fow more worda peraonal to the decenced Senator of Massachusetts will conclude what I have had to say. HIS AIDS TO GREATNESS. . Mr. Sumner had those extrancous things to put him 1n the way of career and fame : respects able parentsge and s good cducation; nl?w~ preceptor, in Justice Story, of nn!:iunn] affinity, whose patronage was & path to higher places; eome foreign travel under good introductions; and, finally, 2 remarksbly loyal and supporting Commonwealth, of which it might be said, Scrip- toraily: “It gave the angels ckarge coneern- ing him, and in their hands they bore him up.” Put the above sids to greatness are not un- common. Who bas ilicm not, or has not had them? Who has not some friend whose faver leads upward and farther cn? How many young men go from college to Europe with a letter of credit, snd wasto years znd the money and pa- tience of their parents? The two things essen- tial to the deceased wan of state were Charles Sumper and Massachusetts. Ho bad the rov- crent, methodical, earncst, and mn.n-imbqed nature of the Commonwealth, her steady habits and love of wiso society, dovotion to books and oxpanding principles, and decp belief that eho wasfounded piously,and that beroxample wasnec- cssary to the world. Her grave Governors, thoughuful orators, brave organization, and public spirit, were like something immemorial 2nd hoer with age to him, old and substantial 25 English or Jewish history, which, by their onbroken course, seemed founded in _zha very conception of God, and watched by His Provi- dence. The Unitarian theology he espoused destroyed nono of these impressions, but put the poesy of humavity upon them, and,in & senso, Clristianized Plymouth Rock: ihe grimness of elder Massachusetts relaxed ; the witch-fires, and Quaker whippings, and ecclesi- sstical assizes lay back in shadow ; apd fair Harvard produced ber more joyons Sumners to Jook always upon the haman race in tho light of 2 eantiment. HI5 FRESFNESS. ‘He was always a little verdant apd coantryfied. He believed what people told bim at fhe time, likoa child. Hocame to Washington st Juetico Story's suggestion, and is still remember- od bythose who faw him first as the moat pereimmon-like of green things, with 5 high collar aud long legs, casily quizzed, plain in questioning, not novel in suggestions, and, with muck knowing, unworldly still. Hosawa slave pear Baltimoro, which he was told was eucl, ith wonder, indignation, and inquisitivcness, The Supreme Corrt was tho very forum of Binai to him, and, threo weoks beforo ho died, he told me about drinking the Judicinl Madoira with John Marsball. He went to England, and attended Victoria's coronation,and Junched with George Peabody, whom he de- scribed a5 exceedingly penarions. I was struck with bis account of himself hiring a court-drees, sccuring » room pozr the Abhoy of Westminster toslipit on, and, at 4 o'clock of the morning, presenting Limself at tho transept, the first of all, to be admitted. **I had seat No—,” he said, “in Poots’ Corner, near the gravo of b and, a8 Lo emd “ Pocts’ Cormier,” st the sgo of 63, you would think ho bad begun & ghost-story and was a child. He said the Peers’ daughters all around him were munching ssudwiches and snacks, a8 they do on the most holy occasions,— if the Final Assize of man is long, it will be in- terrupled by an Englishmau's voice saying, “Givo us summat to eat!"—and that thoy offered this young, strange, bungry Yankeo something; but lis bashfulness equaled his curiosity, and till 4 o’clock p. m. he had nothing in his stomach. IS ORTHODOXY. Tho days of Mr. Sumner in Europo were spent finding out_places snd men of great example, Ho sccepted the spproved opivion of time and the judgment of others, and never was a good oniginal critic. I rementber thot Mr. Trombull once complained of Sumner for saying tnat ho Inow Vinnie Ream's statue of Lincoln was abominable, and yet had never taken the pains to go to see it. Siill this was his way. Hoac- ecpted the reasonable verdict of suthority, and bis ceuvictious were general, though e was not E«md to pick anything to picces. The nation 8 & epaxsity of broad, synthetic minds, and s lus of smart, aualytic men. Ve laugh at the didectic mau nowadays; and pretty, lud-fingered Bulwer, in one of his nov- ¢ls, encers at the_apinionated ohnson, forget- ful that few of that big critic’s judgments are not still cminons as Leyden-jars to the lites Kittle-folks. Outof the propensity to analsze everytbing in naturo and society comes the scandalousnces of tho sgo; -and tho very parity of the virgur's check is eafisfactorily proved to be compoeed of 80 much nicotine as to show tho complezion and habits of the man who kissed fer. 1 never beard Charles Sumner tell a loose, impeaching story. e is the author of no per- sonal charges that I know of. Ho took the rec- ord of President Grant's message and tho list of fis sppointmente, and put together—not took cpart—a character, He constructed his oppo- zient, insiead of picking him to picces. Herein lies the vigor of portraiture: thet it makesin- stwad of unmakes. I think that to this synthotic fores is to be escribed muck of Mr. Sumner's achicvement. He made 1en of both the master end tho slave. £ JUS LIBERALITT, His disposition was totallyavereo to criticising mankind on the theory of general depravity. I pever beard him ecy 8o, but 1 believe that Lo 100k a rather broad-gauge view of the follies and peccadilloes of human pature, and of .tho smisapplication of instrumentalitics. I do aot Znow that I am putting this as I feelit, cod I *m quite suro thava good many people who pever saw thoman atall, but worshiped him efar off, will call metoaccount. This is tho privilege of the ass, who would ratherhave his thistle ns he conceives it, instcad of the way Na~ tare put it up. - 1 mezn to s2y that Mr. Sumner was no ecourge of justice, no Phasisee in the temple, and that %o “did not mare his mind a tribunal to jndze the quick and tho dead, but, keeping himeelt clean, held others accountable only as they croseed the current of his fricndship” or his po- Titical miseion. ol Judge Tanoy was repellant o Lim ns tho bold and_personified junspradence of Slavery, and e did not care how pure or hancst bo was, but charged on bim oy Scul smoto the priests of thio Amalekites. The more abueed but harmless Telic of Caleb Cushing, be renewed affilintion b ‘He would not trouble his mind with a maes of Smputation; for, if he had believed it, what right had it o enter into his house and sbide itere.

Howould neithar Do bored nor prayed with. Ho kept the majesty of himsslf sovereign; gavo bhis confidence to whom he pleased; worked for his friends, not like a dog, but like a lion; deomanded what ho 1hought, they were quatified for and entitled to ; and, 28 to the rost of the patronage, bo treated it like thio gock on the dung-hill, scattering it to the political Lons and pullets. v HIS ORDINARY LIFE. He was imperious without being selfish. A selfish 1man wants 21l he can got, aud cares for nobody elee. An imperious man, iike this, de- rasude what heis entitled to, ané demands it for = friend as for limself. 3r. Sumper had no anizerly quelities. He dislited to dine alone. ‘He would take his cane and viait a sick man up a back street, and pour in oil and wine like the ‘most sumptuous Samaritan. He hiad no passion for humor, but o ready laugh, s high-comedy portreying - s character, 20 as to say o fierce, but give the faintest ehado’cf . caricature ; and .ho often told stories satirical ‘upou himeelf. HIS EGOTIEX, £o much spoken of, was not the egotism of per- sonal appearance, nor of cratory. It was tho egotista of confidense,—tho fixed belicf that his positions and his wiy vere right ; that what he tad finished was as admirable a8 that which he s gowng 10 do ; aud he beld_ his career in rev- erent reminiscence, bis speeches as milestones in s great human performance, and his oppo- nents, while they held. their ground, to be lodged by the sublimest artillery. Destroy this nature, and you destroy tho man. Withont 1t, what Would Fe be lamanting to-day ? HIS INDISCBETION. i The death of Mr. Sumner was probably hast- ened by his sedentary babits, and etvong gusts of feoling and passion, which sot his Leart fly- ing, and almost invariably laid him up for days. He would bave been more of n man be fod that large body with more tmethod, exercised it ‘mote actively, and slopt_upon an emptier stom- ach. His habits wers English in an American climato and with an American temperament. It must be accounted to the abuse of Naturo's en- dowments by such men that they walk the ground iz mighty girth aad stature, and do not Eliow how to uee their arme or legy. Here was @ fine physical being, who lived in treet-cors, in & chair. 8t the end of a table, and iu bed, ulmost altogether. He never gratified his_backbono with 3 spurt on a colt. Ho did not ride into the wind for rose-color and eppetite. Around his beart the fats collected; the muscles clinched like psrasite-vines around an unwatched tree, and b diod in a strong man's agony. Speaker Blaine was one of the witnesses of the death-bed scenc. 3 ‘“He suffercd intonsely,” said Blaino; ‘‘his breath was fetched up like the painful drawing of well-buckets, His faco contracted sk tho point where the eyes in agony scek blindly for each other across the bridge of the nose, prying through the portoge of the head. as Shakspears says; and an ‘Oh?’ came now and thean from his unconscious seuses.” HIS DEPENDENTS. Mr. Blaine tells the following curious tale about Mr. Sumner: T usked Liim one day what he expected of tho colored raco, that he wag Living £o much time to. i (\Well,? be &nid, ‘they will bo & dependent and awiable peasentry, requiring, all the safe- guards of the national protection.’ © thought,” continued Blaine, **that he ex- pressed it well. Neither Mr. Sumner, nor sny- body, know the speed at which tho raco would advauce. Why, there are four or five negroesin Congress whom nobody can attack with tomerity, There aro Lynch, Rangier, Rapier, Elliott; and every year or 80 weo discovor a more capable negro than we bad. Gath.” said Biaine, “overy ublic man has his uses. We went chead with Reconstraction further thun we ever ospocted, and avticipated years of little difficulties by the political quarrel we had with Androw Jobnsen. Opposition extorted sggression, and Sumber, Stevens, and those Radical innovators took ad- vantage of Johnson's resistance to mske thair ‘measures those of a consolidated party.” T asked Mr. Blaine if he thought the work of Sumnuer would not now be suspended for yesrs, a8 to the remnant of rights sud privileges reé- quired by the African citizens. ‘Ohno!" he snswered, *I think not. There's Rockwood Hoar, a very substantial man, and probably good Tor many years of public life, ¥ho holde thesamo ideas, The thing 1s started, and it will go, with ‘more or less speed, like sverything inevitable in our country.” MrBlaine added tuat, in the last ten years, New England had produced threo men of the first rank in the ‘Sanate s Collamer, Fossenden, and Sumnper. Ho said Collamer had some quali- ties posscased by neither of tho others, and alludod with somo humor and_dcprecation to Sumaer's reference to Senator Fooi, of Vermont, a8 “the walking gentleman of the Senate.” AB A OME-TOURIST. 2 The propensitiex of Alr. Sumuer for travel led him to many parts of the country and taught him much. “Mr._Titian J. Cofley, into Secretary of Legation to Russia, -told me that, after the Brooks assantt, Mr. Sumuer was ordered to Cape May, aud then to the top of the Pennsylvania ‘Alleghenies, where he stopped in the neighbor- hood of somebody of local greatness, who forth- with wrote to Coffey : “ Come over ! The gods are Lere " Mr. Coffey took him over to Lorotto, where Prince Gallitzin had_resided,~—that Catholic Russisn,” of note chiefly in tho annals of the Church, bocsuse ha was a convert and a Princs. Buch an experience must have had its infinence. Pennsyivanis hes produced nearly all its preat characters from ~ transplantation - Gallatin Bayard, McKean, Audubon, Matthew (not Henry) Carey, ' Fravklin, Girard, Stevens. Whot was wholly original was not fine, nnless James Buchanan was. Because the State lways lacked & homogenous purpose and chare acter. Faction and Gossip have ruled it for over, with their inevitably-attendant corrup- Eoms. Let this provoke reply. So much tho otter. Br. Sumaner's visit to Chicago was ombarrassed by the only * interview ” a newspaper-man ever ‘held with him which hofelt wounded about, and, 1 beliove, repelled as partly falee in report, and Wholly false in understanding and design.” He liked pewspaper-men; as who does not until outraged ? Men of good nature and tho desire of affécting opinion, often disinterestedly, like to como ¢closs to ths professional communicators of remark audnews. Thbis shold stimulato re- sponsive faithin & guild of natural afability ; but how many men in the press sre carried asay with the consciousness of power, and, instead of softening with time and and acliieverent, likea statesman’s life, thoy roge sgainst the prison- bars, and howl if, uslike Sampson, they caanot b;enk the braces of tho temple. Thare wasan eiement of power in Sumuer in bis trestment of the pross. Little chaps wero afraid of him and did nov como pear, but talked, afar off, abont his coldness and susterify; whilo other men walked up, and met euch confidenco that they dared not violate it. Ho was fiken woman: sympathetic, but not to,bo fondled. You could goto him like Cassio to, Desdemona, &nd beg bis nfluence to be reinstated; but, it you indulged to oxcess in his camp, you could not Lelp sayiug, Liko the same Cassio to Othella: “1 would rather sue to be despised than to de- ceive 80 good & commander, with ¢o_slight, so drunken, and 8o indiscreet an officer.” The dey after Mr. Sumner was deposed {rom his Committes toinstata that genuino Penosgl- vanian, Simon Cameron, I wrote o few lines like a eonngt, end published them. We never spoke about it, though I know that he was touched by the report of anothor. That was tho only benetit 1 was over able to be to him; for I believed that ho was in the state of mind t0 require sympathy more than anythiug in the world: Old lion, do they think to stop thy roar - By from thy eago of whelps withdrawing thee? 2More boldly Slavery sougat it once before, But from the blood-pool of thine agouy ‘And broken rod, a cross we did decrce, And washed th¢ world white in the precious gors, 10 i thy stead Dazabbas they do Bl War's ennuch, Peace’s miser—and command He win respect for us on ees and Jand, Whose life is wrinkled up in meavest thrift ! Go forth, thou thunderer, ke John, and cry o deserts and to multitudes : * Prepare ! 3lake straight the path! the templo purify ! And to this servile Senate say Beware, . SUMNNER'S RESIDENCE. The Sunday after the funeral, I went to Mr. Sumuer’s louse, with Mr. Theodore Davis, tho . artist of Harper’s Weckly ; aud, while bo was sketching with fidelty, Mr. Balcl, the executor, Pcrmittnd me to exawine whatever I wished. Tho profligncy of objects discoarnged me from stempting to make an inventory of them. Thera were portraits of the following persons. that I Temember: Nspolcon Bounparte, & sketch 1n colors from life: Jerome Bonapatto as King of Westphalia; thres different portraits of %d- muud Burke hung adjacentto Mr, Sumner’s own portrait in protile, probably to call attention to o very decided ressmblauce, particularly in tho 1“’“7’ Tetrousso ncse, the fufl. long upper Lip, and fong chin ; & hand-slietch of Gon. Wash- ingtou from life, marked *rare;" Louis XIV., & large and fine engraving, made in his_time ; the Count de Vergennes,who secaroed the Freuch slliance for America ; Wilberforce, the philan- thropist, with his suiograph, snd Bishop Wilber- force; = large engraving of Coeliorn, bearing a remarkablo resemblouce to Bill Tweed; a pre- sentation-portrait from Sumner, Dean of Canter- bury; ditto from the Earl of Aberdeen, Marquis of Lanedowne, Gladstone, Stanbope, Lord Alae csulay, John Bright, Richard Cobden, sod an in- credible number of ‘other state-folks; presenta~ tion-portrait from Joseph Mazzini; ancient por- traits of Mereator, Vespucei, and. Columbus; Marshall's and Littietieid's portraits of Lincoln | Georgo Resd and Henry Winter Dais. i Many of the larger poriraits are distributed with reference to scenos orbuildings akin to the subject. For instauce, tho Whits Honso accor-. antes Mr, Lincoln; aod beneath it is an unfin- 1ehied painting, by Benjamin West, of the Ameri- can Commissioners to sign tae Treaty of Inde. pendence. The portraitof Lafayetto sccom- panicsa view of tho Luxemburg, and a large engraving of tho French Assembly meeting ot private piace when drivon away from their nsual resort. Other treatics in the collection are thab of estphelia, which closed tho religions wars of thoe soveatesnth century; the Treaty st Vionoa, after the downfall of Napoleon; the Treaty of Paris, in 1856; the meeting ol sovereigns at Brussels after the Battle of Waterloo ; and Trumbull's * Signing of the Declaration of Independence.” It is evident that all these things have been collected with re- 1stion to Mr. Sumner’s occupation aud career as one of the school of humanitarian statesmen, and a student of our foreign aflairs. LOOKS. Zard There are several desks, besides that historic on6 where® Brooks took Mr. SUmUAT UDBWATE ; and in one Mr. Balch hadcollected the most vaiu- able vohimes, such as Banyan's Bible ; the origioal draught of Bruce's Addresa ; 'ope’s own copy of & book of minor poems; Montes- quien, - with the author's autograph; a manuseript, with notes in the handwniting of Congreve; & hymn-book, er something of the % trait. On the mautles are largo brouzee of kind; which belcmgéd to Drummond, of Hathorn ; 8 book snnotated by Erasmus ; a volume ascri to Tasso; and some of tho oldest books in the langnage, going back to the fifteenth century. Thero 18 & volumo of Thomas Aquinas whicl belonged to ono of the Popes. Bunssn's Bible cost £31 125, and 1n it i»_pasted & portrait of bis time. It is bound withi brass corners, and also with brass rivets and faco-plates, 5o that is & curiosily apart from its associotion. Amongst the old engravings is one of Delfthaven the year the Pilgrims sailed from it; and & notablo pho- tograpl represents the landing of the American Pifims. by a Spavish artist. T, Sumner's booka of reforanco aro fesy,—not sbove balf-a-dozez. Mis Hazlett's hook of poetry gave him most of his quotations. His owa works, publisbed by subscription, limited in quaotity, and with his sutograph, contain a motto from Whitlier. As to M. SUMNER'S LEARNING I asked the THou. 8. 8. Cox if 1t was genuine: Perfectly 80,” e said, “*as I have often had occasion to know by sending over to him from the House of Ropresentatives when I wanted to Do put on tho track of o quotation. In & fow minntes he would send mo back a memorandum ; and, whether it was Greek, or Latin, or French, he was equally woll informed.” Mr. Cox, I may say, was & pupil of Dr. Wayland, at Brown Uni- versity, when Mr. Sumner cams there to Jocture, in 1846. Atter spending an-hovr in tho study, where, alaal! tho large prescuce of the host shall be seen no more forever, I went into THE BEDOOX whero he breathed his last. This, also, is an clegant room, with windows on two sides, and phin walnut furniture. Tho bed was stripped of its coverlets, and the, blue mattress alone re- mained. On the wall was a large figurs, in tone aud drawing like a Guido, representing an Aununciation, or something of that kind. Near this is an origiial picture of the Spanish or Neapolitan &chool, ropresenting the birth of Christy—a very tiny Christ indeed, —to whom various various shepherds .are bringing in live sheep aud lambs, bandles of in and barley, and other fruits and offerings. This picture might be by Spagnoletto or Oara~ vaggio, Mr. Balch was not informed ns to the ictures, and a dealer wes_expected in on Mon- gny to classify them. Boside the bed i3’ another original painting, of the Augol of the Resurrec- tion. In the samo room is & queer and very old cnyass, reprosenting sevoral ships with high keels lying off o fortified town. Two of Tarner’s proof-engravings—the Templo of Jupiter and toe Old Tomeraire—are in this bed-room. Outside tho window is the old house which Mrs, Madison long inhabfted: an just beyond it, the Club-House, where Sowart wwas stabbed, and Key carried to oxpirc; the end of tho view is the Treasury facado and the un- finished Washington monument. The Sumper ‘maosion will prabobly pass into the hands of sirangers, and, like every other house in Wash- ington, receive a long series of notebilitics, dying in their turn-to fill the pages of futura guida-books. At the eud of the hall, behind the atudy, is the guest's bed-ckamber. Under the study & THE LIDRARY, which differs from tho room abova in lkav- ing an_ extension under the yuesi'a bed-chamber aforesaid; which extension is tho diningroom when requisite, but a part of the salon in general. Thess two rooms are of tha most elegant character, n: abound in objects of art and virta, Os thoman- tlos are tho richeat vases, with paintiogs by mas- ters, and most tasteful china, articlesin A and’ Sevres ware, and rostorutions of eng shields. Between the doors is ~fr. Sumner bust by Crawiord, taken many yoars age. ‘Cho Venus do Milo, balf-size, stands upou a table. Several casels contain original paintings, gruer- ally of interior scenes, A large engraving of President Grant remains over Lincoln’s por- the Medician tombs, the Boy with the Thorn, the Farncso Heroules, and various fine autiguen. The Psyche—which goes, I beliove, to Frof. Longfellow—is life-size, but disagreeable to look at, a8 the skull is sawed off equare, 2nd the bust chiipped down where the matitations formorly were. Somo of the pictures are quite voluptu- vas, and tho TFrench school is well represented. In one corner i8 a collection of pertraits of great oartists, and Michael Angelo appears twice.

Aftor- wards, falling stars appeared at a moment when 1 lenet expected them, alwaye from the internal to the external angle of the eyo; which forced me instinctively to tarmn-my. head. Simulta- neously I was eeized with a trembling of the skin and a feeling of wn- spenkanlo Lorror. In the place of darknese, or during the night, my room appearcd illuminated os by a flash'of lightuing. At lust, eeeing that nothing would arrest this mysterious agent, I had recourse to the datura stramonium, or thorn-npple of Pern, A Cath- olic missionary had informed me of its wonder- ful eflicacy, fifteen years ago. I took a strong dose of it, four or five leaves, and commenced 1o write, 2lthough with some difficulty. Halfan hour after, the remedy bad not taken effect, when suddenly a snonf: electric convulsion, like firoworks, or rather like a puff of steam, ran throngh all my limbs, from bead to foof, pro- ducing, in the ontire surfaca of the ekin, & gen- eral tremblivg, snd sensation of heat, accom~ panied by a disposition to Iy, and an indefinable foeling of terror. It sacmed to me I had fire- works in my eyes. 1 robounded as if impelled by a spring. 1t scomed to me I woa engaged in a'deadly combat between tho vital and morbid principles, the latter of which endeavored to im- moeo itself tyrannically, like adominating power, against which all the nctive forces reacted with a superhuman energy. At the same momont, I becamo delirions, and lost all consriousness.” ‘The patient retains in the delirium the domi- nont ides of restraining Limself, and of endeav- oring to repossess his faculties. Nevertholess, in this state, the convulsions became moro fro quent. They are always accompanied with the Eame sentiment of fear, and the nocessily of re- action and flight. 'Ihe mascular force is pro- digiously increaned ; he is withont_fatigue ; the weifihc of the body is no impediment to the limbs; it scems only necessary to make the at- tempt, to skin over tha earth, as iu certain dreams, The contraction of the muscles of the legs causes a sudden fall, when he becomes per- fectly rigid. o realizes ho hag fallen, when ho is restored to congcionenees by the ehock of the fall, and he arises quickly. The nervous oxcito- ment is such that be is very ncarly inseneible to pain. The figures of the most familiar persous appear furious, threateniog, and provoking ; and, contrary to the general sentimont of terror which ane feels internally from concussions, one is intrepid and ready to brave all exterior dau- gers. Tho paroxysms commencod st balf-past 2 io the eftarnoon.” At 10 o‘clock in-tho evening the remedy began to take effect, and the next day only a grest prostration was felt. - The in- valid attribated all the phenomena of the deliri- 1m to the gas produced in the organic tissues by the infiuence of the sirus.

Re- <eipts and shipments were fair for the season. There was a zood degre of activity in the de- mand for dry gxmdsl both to supply local and in- terior wants, and all signs of weakness ars grad- ually disappearing from the market. Prices of standard shectings, shirtings, and, in fact, noar- ly all cotton textiles, aro waterially lower than at this time last year, the differcnco in bleached and brown cottons amounting, [in many instances, to 2@2}¢e per yard, whilo_tho average reduction is about 14 per cont. Prices are now eolow as to leevo little or no margin of profit for the manafzctarers, and the probabilitics are that, a8 the season advances, the market for all standard cotton_productions will bo sub~ jected to an advance. In the grocery market o Tendonable active movement was witneszed ot well susiained prices. Most of the leading arti- cles were quoted stronger at tho East, and a somewhat firmer tone pervaded tho market here in consoquence. The fact that trade now exkib~ its steady improvement also tends %o strengthen tho views of jobbers. Sugars are tending up- ward. Siraps, molasscs, rice, soap, and most other lines wera held firmly. Teas ate meeting with an scuve and increasing demand, and thera are ‘unmistakablo indica- tioms of an sdvaoco, Butter was wore active and_steadier. . The reccipts wero moderate, and with xhipg:rs and local buyers both operating freely, stocks weroheld withmore confidence. Cheese remains firm, a8 previously quoted. Trade is as active as in past scason® at o like period, while stocks are much smaller than the averapo, which induces tho belief among holders that higher pricos must prevail before prime nerw chicess can bo_scat forwerd. In the canncd-goods market business was quoted quiet, with prices only faixly firm, excopt for tomatoes, which are_teuding higher. Dried fruits were distributed to a liberal aggragate at firmly main- tained prices. Fish continne fairly active and steady. No changes were visible in. the coal, pig-iron, bagging, and paint markets. Leatber was moving o littlo more frecly at steady rates. Oils were withont quotablo chango, but tho pro- valent fecling was firmer ; notably o for carbon, lard, Jinaced, and turpentine. There wasno perceptible: change in tne lum- her markef. A fair business was frausscted at the yards at the current prices. Shingles are in active shipping _demand, and steady. The local demand tor building materials continucs very fair, and _quotations are, as a rule, adhered to. T3 supply of common Chicago brick, which bas been light all tho spring as compared with the stocks & year sgo, is mow very much reduced, and, as & consequence, prices aro sirong aod ad- vancing. The metal atd general bardwaro mar- kets do not present auy materially now features. The order trade i8 reported fair and increasing, and prices are well maivtained, Hops are ex- tremely dull and weak, not ooly in the local merkot but at the East and abroad. The high price of bartley, temperance question, aud hard times are as: ed a8 the reasons why con- sumers are not purchasing moro liberally. Wool was steady under a lxghb supply and demand. The local demand for Dhay was only fair, and the receipts wero a trifte larger, but previous prices wero obtained. Broom corn remains quict. The offerings of bides were moderate, an undor a good inquiry from local tanners an dealers, prices wers fully sustained. Tho de- mand at preseut is not_particularly urgent, but equal to the supply. Salt was_qulet and un- changed. Secds were more activo at_sbott tho same range of prices. Flax wasin liberal sup- ply and dull, buyers and sellers being apart_in their views. Potatoes continue to sell readily on arrival when choice, but common lots were slow. Poultry and eggs were steady. Leko freights were inactive, with no change in the relative attitudes of shippers and carrers. ‘The advices from the Straits are still unfavora- ble, indicating that the ice is more solia than evel Highwines were in good demand aad frm at TFridny's quotntions, there being bugyers all through the session at 93c. Sales were reported of 250 brls at 93¢ per gallon, and 50 brls at 93i¢c. Provisions were active and irregular. The matkot opened strong, but witl 8 Jess nrgont jo- quiry, and fell off soon after_12 o'clock, under a decided pressure tosell. Mess pork advanced 10c per brl and receded to opening figures. Lard advanced Tic per 100 ibs, and foll hack 13}¢c by the close. ~ Aleats were quiot, but quoted firm, and the sales reported show a’ slight advance. Thiere wos no particular chupgo in the market for live hogs, sudthe aftor weakness in product scemed ml be due to the fact that the upward jmarch of the gold premium was stopped. Thers “were not wanting hints, however, that the move- ment was_largely the result of little scientific manipualation, as the offerings of pork wore all taken upatthe decline, byone party who ia pooularly supposed to bé ewinging a long lino efit. We note that two or three large lots of meats bave recently been sold by parties who bonght intending tosbip, but changed their minds owing to dullucss i Earope.

Liverpool was quoted with an upward tendency, but New York was easier, and the_gold premium was quoted off, which reduced the currency value for export. Add to thus the fact that most of the April trades had been previously settled up, leaving not much business that was abso- lutely needed to be done, and for that buyers were disposed to hold off for a day or two. Holders did not offer much_early, bat latar they wero freer ecllers, aund the -market woakened in consequence. At the decline spec- nlative buying was rather more active, chiefly on Iceal acconnt.
