12 THE CHICAGO DATLY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, JUNE 14, 1874 YQUNG CHICAGO. Startling Stories About Early Days.in This Ci Reminiscences of an Old Inhabitant. The Jacksonville (Fla.) Union has been pub- lishing & senes of communications on Indian life in the Northwest, written by T. 8. Ecls, one of the early settlers in Northern Illinois. T_lm following extracts from his letters have special reference to primitive Chicago : MARE BEAUBIEN. u When the Sec and Fox War was over, Chicago was & mud village, and people rodo to church in ox-carts, and often got stuck in the mud in the principal streets. Nota carrisge or buggy was in tbe place. Col. Beaubien got the flrfit. car- ringe there, and the citizens turned out in pro- cexrion and paraded the streets. At that time I boarded with Mark Beaubion, who kept a log tavern, where the Exchange Hotel now stands. His cotire stock of blankets wero in constant use, for the traveler would not think of asking for n bed, as that was a luxary not expected. He must pay 50 cents in advance for a blanket, and it is scid that when be got to sleop some one would take bis ‘blanket and Mark would rent it again. So that one blanket would Le rented many times during the night. Mark was ambitious, too, and as there was only one brick store in Chi- cago and no brick house, he built a one-story brick house adjoining his hotel. Oue day &5 we marched out from dinuer, we were stopped by Mark sod hisgon. ** Gentlemen, I want to show Jou komething grand ; follow me.” Marciing us eround, we halted in front of tho one-story. Slark waved his hat and commanded aitention. Poineing to the house and to a brasa plate onthe door, be #aid, * Gentlemens look dar, what dat way 3 ba! read him Mark " (to bis son). The son read, * dlark Beaubien.’ Read him sgain, Mark. Hal Sacre! What tho people in York sayto that, ha? Mark Beaubien ove great man, Le build the first brick house in Chicago, put his name ou the door. He kecp tuvern like h—l, and play the fiddle like the dov—." THE FIRST PIANO. B} Chicago began to improve and another arrival causcd 8 great sousation, As I was riding through the villago one Sunday (affer witness- ing o number of the first citizens of tho place ‘with bottles of champagne in their hands, nding into the churches amotg the audienceand drink- ing the healtl of the j reacher, and then station- ing themselves at the door to shoot pigeons and preirie hens) my attention was attructed toa party of Indians who had surrounded the house of Sherifl Sherman, whosedaughter had received 2 piano from Buflaio, and whicn she was playing for her own amusement. Tho Judizns listened with wonder and astonishment to such sweet, heavenly music. which must be the voice of the Groat Spiit. As I approached, the Iudians motioned me to diemount, exclaiming, Kago-ka- ze con, o tuck sha, ke snaw manito, wetomo. keep silent.) go. \The Great Sparit is speaking, HARPER. Among my first acquaintances at Chicago was & Toung man named Harper, who was the Eon of wezlthy parents in England. He frequently bhd remittances from there snd would go out in the morning dressed in fine clothes, with plenty of movey, ard by the next ass bis money and fina clotiés were gone, and Le would be clothed in rags, for hie ineatiable love forsirong drink was such that Lie would make any sacrifice to get it. When money and clothes were gone Counsellor Spring and myself took caro of and mado every etfort to reform him, but it scemed impossible. Frequently he would be arrested and the Justice would try to commit bim for vagrancy, but Har- per would be too sharp for bim. At one time the magistrate felt sure he had him; there he was, & poor, miserabls. drunken vagabond, without homé or triends, and penmless. « Harper, youare a vamant, and I shall order you to be'sold.”_ “ Well, Squire, you sey Lama Tagrant ; now, Squire, what is a vagrant ? One without visible means of surport, 1sit ? Look “ere, Squire, what do ou call this? (pullinga loaf of bread from under s filtby clothes). Is not this is o visible means of support 2" ar- per's arguments prevailed, and the Justice (Browa) was obliged to discharge him, nnd Har- yer walked out of court as proud as if he had been o millionsire. A short timo edter, Harper was agan arrested, and having no bread or visi- ble means of support, was ordered to be sold at ‘pudlic 2uction a8 a vagrant. (No 3ails or poor- Tionses then.) Iarper was marched to the stens of the Tremont House, then kent by Starr Foote, avd while Black George, the auctioneer. was drumming through the villsge, announcing that Harper, a whito man and a vagiant, was to be sold at public auction, Harper, in rags, and filthy iu the extreme, was maiching up and down in front of the hotel, wondering, doubtless, who Would buy sich a Sithy wretch 28 be. George returned with his drum, Harper mounted the steps of the Tremont, ready to be sold. The auctioneer announced the terms of the eale. “ A white man to be gold to the highest bidder 28 s vagiant! Who bide? Onecest! Goon, gentlomen; bid again! Two conts!-—three!— ten cents !—thank you! Live etock is advancing! Twelve-and-a-balf ] Do I hear any more? Go- ing!—going!—tlurd and last time!—gone!1” George, the black drummer, buye him for a shil- ling, and, with the tane of the ** Rogne’s March,” he marched him off to his home, where, by in- dustry ond pereeverance in the science of boot- cleaning, be could work out the shilling, and once more be a free man. CHICAGO FUN. Harper was gold 28 & vagrant on the_steps of the Aremoant House, and at the same time there was being enacted within the bar-room of the hotel what the Chicagoans called fun. Threse of the best men of Chicago had bought the con- tents of the bar for 31,200, and, closing the door, tley had o general smash-up. Decanters and botiles, filled with all kinds of liquors, were thrown out of the windo, on the floor, against tho wall ; faucets were turned, the room was flooded with assorted liquors, and cigars of vari~ ous brands were scattered profusely on every eide, while the three men, crazed with cham pesne, danced, whooped, and howled, among the rosen glass and floods of liquor, Yaukes cu- riosity prompted me to look at them through the cruck of the door, when crash came s cham- peue bottle, missing my heag by a bairs readth. After quitting the bar they called in the landlord, paid bim &1,200, shook "hands with tim, and. after assuring Lim that they had sam- pled his liquors snd cigars and that they would give him another call (which they did woon after), they went up-stai’s and gambled away & fow thousand, and in the *‘wee ema’ hour ™ of night went home wondering why they had euch an ** infernal headache.” Chicago ran riot then. If a merchant or a_professional man wanted to go on & bust, ne had but to visit the different stores or offices, and every man must Join the crowd, and then for a grand blow-out. ‘At the colebration of the passage of the Illinois Canal pill 1do not think there were ten sober men in Chicago. The champague and liquors drank that dar and night would send & wealthy men into bankraptes. A NOVEL VERDICT. The Circuit Court was held in a one-story frame store next to the Tromont House, At the firet sekeion of this court, su Irishman was be. ing tried for murder. His wife wus my washer- woman, and the night previous to my going to the Iudian_country I went for my clothes ; Jim- my, the Iishman, was deating his wife, and, fenring that I might got a stray blow from hus shillelab, I did mot venture in, but went into the country without my clothes. When I returned, I went to the court- room; Jimmy had killed his swifs end was then being tried. As I entered, John Wright, foreman of the jury, was rendering his ~ordict, which was, *We the jury are far, yory far, from considering the prisoner innocent, but, sccording to the testimony, we are bound to oequiv bim.” The Judge discharged Jimv, aud, by the advice of his lawyer, he made immediate tracks for the wilderness, beading for the Cala- mivk. My testimony, if I had been tberein time to bave given it, would have convicted him, and Jimmy would have swung from ‘‘a eour apple tree.” o ” SPECULATION. Now, Chicago began to grow rapidly. Specu- Iation ran wild; property changed hands often, and fortunes were made in a day. Government had made laree sales of public Jands; pre-empt- ors bad claimed quarter-sections, eighties and forties sll through the country; a daily- line of stages started around the head of Ln{s Alichi- gau to Miclugan City and Niles; log hotels woro built among the sand bills, the Lorse stables ad- joined the dining-rooms ; stages came in crowd- ©od ; bosts of strangers arrived daily on horse. back and on foot; all wanted to speculate in tonn Jots. The excitement was_contagioas and I wos drawn into the vortex. [ bought o lot for 2175 aud sold it for £500 - bought it back for £1,000 and sold it for $1L50. ‘The same lot to-day is warth £100,000. I bougit and sold ten acres of land adjoining Clybourn's Addition, up - the North Branch, traded it away for ten lots in Jovis, Grand River, Mich. The ten acres are -mow worth millions. I bought ten lots in Og- -den’s Addition at an aversge of $150 each. 1 thouaht I was ruined, and gave Garrett, the auctioneer $20 to take them off my hands. They are worth to-dny and would sell for 810,000 each. I gold the plat of fivo zcres where the State Prison at Joliet now stands for $230. b WABASH-AVENUE ]!OIESE-RAH;WAY. Argument of Carol Gajytes Ecfore the Council Commistee. Mr, Chairman and Gentlemen of the Commitiee : We assume that, in yourreport to the Common Council on the petition for an ordinance author- izing the construction and operation of & horse- railway on Wabash avenue, you will desire to do substantial justice to the public at largo, and to the property-bolders on the line of tho proposed railway. The fact that you grant us this hear- ing indicates that you desire to inquire into and subserve the interosts of all concerned. Now, YHO ARE CONCERNED IN THIS MATTER ? To give due coneideration to the interests of all, it is necessary to define those interests, and weigh their relative magnitude, ¥or. surely, if a grent interost require, and a emall interest oppose, this railway, you will, as just men, give heed to the larger intorest. Without going into distinctions too fine, wo may say thero are three goneral classes of rights in and upon that portion of Wabash aveaue on which it proposes to lay this railway: First—There is the naked right which all citi- zens and all strangers coming into the city have in common—the right of passing aloog this highway. ; Second—There is the bare right of all persons who oun lands eouth or north of this portion of the avenue, to pass over this thoroughfare to their possessions beyond. Third—There sre the various rights of all persons who bold property fronting upon this portion of the svenus, which will be affected by the railway. Now, while tho three classes of rights al] exist, they aro not all co-existent with interests of equal importance. While no man will deny the right of any citizen or stranger to pass up or down this street, whether or not ho owns a foot of land on the faco of the earth, no man will eny that o stranger or non-landholder has the same interests involved as the person wno bas land or buitdings fronting upon that stroet. Of tho threa classes of rights, the man who holds tho second has greater interests in this thoronghfare than the man who holdssimply the first. in o stiil greater degree, the mun who holds the third clacs of rights hies iuterests EXCEEDING THOSE - associated with the first and second clagses; for e, the property-holder on this part of the ave- nue, bas all the rights portaining to the first and second classes, and the sdditional rights pecu- liar to tho third class. 5 Now, gentlemen of the Committeo, if stran- er were to come here from the bappy City of §t. iouis, you would nov deny him the right aud pleasure of promenading the middle line of Wa- bash avenue, But, it the same stranger were to come here before you, and Temonstrate aguinst the laying of a car-track on that middle line, claiming that he had theight to promenadothere, would you giye much cousideration to lug remon- strance ? So the man who owns land in Calumet has the right of driving siong this roadway toward bis suburban scres. But, 1f suflicient roadway is kept open for his passage, what weight shall be given to his remonstrance on the ground that there should bé kept open for him nine times 28 much roadway as Lo needs for safe tranwit? As it is proposed to run cars on Wabash avenuc only 80 far south as Twenty-second streot, the man who lholds property on this avenue south of Twenty-sccond stroct has rights on that part morth of Twenty-second street only of the second class. So that the avenue from Lake to Twenty-second street is kept open enough for ordinary travel by his method, the property-holder south of Twenty- second etreet has no ground for complamnt, aud hohns no rights on which to base & remonstrance against the use of o portion of tho rosdway for other methods of travel. His carriage, his 8ad- dle, his boots, perhiaps, aro his means of transit. The honse-car is the means of A FAR GREATER NUMBER. Have not the thousands living south of Twen- ty-second street, who can svend only 10 cents & duy for conveyance to and from théir places of business, as much right to have their popular coach run upon the highway, as the man who can spend €10 per day on his turnout has to speed his thorouglbreds and flaunt his carriage-crest? On nhat rule of public equity can tho carriage-rider claim the exclusive easement over tlus route, and deny the car-rider traneit over the same? The property-holder on Wabash south of Twenty-second has no mote to do with the use that shall be made of that ave- nue north of Twenty-second, than has the prop- erty-bolder on Cottage Grove or South Chicago avenue. He is beyond tho iuterests to be af- fected by the proposed railway. By far the larger portion of the remonstrants live and kave Eropeny south of Twenty-rocond strect. In- eed, very fow on the line to be affected protested i by ‘the railway lbave against it. This remonstrance was instigated, and is pressed, by a few property-holders on State and other streets west; and they, failng to got signatures among the prop- eny»holdexg oniint gfn of Waba¢h on which it is propoeed to run cars, were compelled to go, sod did go, to the dwellers on Wabash south of Twenty-sccond etreet. This entire opposition eprang from, and is urged on by, a few men on State and other strects who are_apprehensive that cars introduced on Wabash will make 1t also & prosperous street. WHAT INPERTINENCE for one strect to assume to dictate the manage- ment of s neighboring street | How littleworthy of prosperity 18 he who would throw obstaclesin the way of his weighbor! The success which declares that no others shall succced i8 unbecoming, &nd deserves tho condemnation of all fair citizens. Wo have no quarrel with State street, or any other, if they mind their own business. Siaie street has business enough, and nothing can take it away from her. All wo ask of ber 18 kindly neighborhood, and a fair and honorabloe competition. Perhaps ** competition ™ will, eze loog, be found not tbe word. AMutuel aggrandizement is moro likely to be found the future relgtion of these two avenuesof trade. State street, in.opposing what tends to the com- mercial activity of Wabash avenue, is thereby retarding ber own future growth. Greater busi- ness on Wabash will pot detract from State, but the two will gain thereby together. Let us now consider the third class of rights, tho rights of the property-holders on Wabash avenue, north of Twenty-second streot. Here is a broad avenue, 100 feet wide and 2 miles long, nesrly the entire frontage of which desires o horse-railway, They who oppose this project bass their efforts at arzument largels on the fact thiat this is a brond avenue, the widest through strect in the city. They expatinte on the future magnificence of this thoroughfare—il they can only KELP DUSINESS AWAY FEOM IT; and they lament the awful sacrifice of gran- deur, and beauty, and roominess for fast buggy-wheels that will follow the granting of tho petition before you. They cry, Whata pity to cut up with car-tracks the only Erondway of Chicago! They come to this avenue, and, bebolding it, excinim: * Ho, every one that driveth, bere'is room for tho brilliant equipnge, the ponderous dray, the dashing buggs, the rac- ing omnibus, the swooping express-wagoa, and the knobby tandem dog-cart. Come aud drive aver this broad, smooth roadway, and yon ehall not be crowded or retarded b{ the popnlous aud sedato_strect-car. We wiil keep forever tue magnificent distances of this glorious avenne,— the pride of the city and the admiration of strangers.” Did it ever oceur to theso remonstrants, who are mostly ontside parties whose pecuniary in- terests aro foreign to this portion of Wabash avenue, to look back s little aud seo how this avenue » CAME TO DE IERE ? Did they ever reficet on the question, Who dedi- cated thig broad sirip of land? who made this roadway? who buiit these wide sidowatks ?—in a word, who placed this avenue there ns it is, a thing for the public to admire, and use, and en- joy? Bomebody gave, and somebody maintaing at constant expenee, this thorough- fare. Did they ever = consider tho pri- mary object to whieh it was devoted? When the properts-holders on that street gave 8o much of their land, and expended o much of their money, was it’ simply to provide an outlet from the centre of tho city, throngh ‘which somebody else could get out to his lands farther south ? s tlis portion of the road thero existing gnmnnly for the use of people going beropd it? When a man subdivides and plats a tract of land, and therein dedicates certain streets, does be lay out those streets mamly for the purpose of enabling peoble to go throngh bis land to buy lots of Bomebody else beyond ? No, my dear sirs, the primarr parpoto and use of any street is to enable the public toap- proach the lots and the buildings fronting on that street. Tnese other uses which wo have been considering, this throngh travel, sre all aecondar{[ in their importance and in their nights. The property-holders upon this 2 miles of Wabash avenue, by reason of tho facts that they granted the land, tuat thoy paved tho road, tnat they laid the walks, and that they are at that thoroughfare constant expense to maint: in & passable condition, are, MORE THAN ALL TIE WORLD DESIDES, entitled to say what uses shail bo made of that stroct. Besides baving all the common rights here which the public have, they bave peculiar and primary rights,—Tights that should be con- trolling 1n° determining the queuhog, What vehicles shall be nliowed to passalong this road ? If the men who have built buildings, and bave provided a road principully for the public to reach their baildings, conclude that more people will comae to their doors by street-cars, Who or what portion of tho public outside has the right to say thoy shall not have tbis means also of bringing people o their own road to their places of business or abode ? While we call this avenue our road, we know very well that tho publio has perpetusl easement over it, and that the city has, and esercises, municipsl authority in its manage- ment. Bat, for all this, neitber the city nor the public bas the right to thwart tho primary pur- pose for which this street wae dedicated and is maintained. Neitner has the city the right to roverse the purposes of this street, and mako those uscs Bec- ondary which were originally primery. The city is pound to DO JUMTICE BY ALL ITS CITIZENB. Tt cannot iguore the relative nghts of citizens in different localitics. It should wisely doter- mive what are the rights of ‘this or that body of citizens, and grant them every facility for their exercise. This is all we ask of the Common Council. We do not come here, outlomen of the Committee, nsking favors. (ou know very well that youcannot grant favors to any citizen. Favoritism is beyoud your pre- rogatives. If what we seok in our petition were a favor from tho aity, we could ot properly ask it; the Council couid not properly grant it, We ask what is right, what is our duo; and we ask nothing mora. The Couucil has tho municipal regulation of tree-travel. And we come and most respectful- Iy request the Council to adopt such regulations as will give force and effect to the rights which we, as tho citizens m o cortain locality, should bo allowed to exercige. o submit to the wis- dom of the Coancil, in all deference, tho quee- tion whether we hate not rizhts here paramount to :ha rights of all others, and whether thoy do no ENTITLE T8 TO TIOS RATLWAT. We kmow very well, gentlomen, that you will not, for o moment, assume that this which we nsk is a favor which you may grant or withhold according to your good pleasure. You do not decide such questions as this on good will, how- ever pleasant, 4 thing that may be, and bowso- ever much we may prize it. You decido on the justice of our claims. On no other principle can o member of the Common Council exercise his powers in this matter. Do not understand us as preuumiuf; to instruct you in your auties. We are simply striving to show on what basis we muke our petition. \We come not bere as beg- gars. We come as citizens asking only that the Couneil will extend to us the proper method of exercising what we deem, and claim, to be our existing nghts,—the right to bring peoplo to cur doors by additional conveyances of & popular kind, We trust, gentlemen, tlat you. in the rightful exercivte of your powers, will zot withihold from us shat we Lopo ~ou will conclude justico to tho interests of all Concerned roquires you to grant. ‘We have discussed this question, thus far, on tho assumption that the 2 miles of the avenue north of Twenty-sccond street desires the rail- way, and that al! the aveoue south of Twenty- second, and the general public, deprecate it. Wo maintain tbat, if the ontire puglic outside of this proposed line were to protest against this rnilway, still their rights and interests ars secondary to ours, and should weigh less in the decision of this question. But the assump- tion that the publicobject to this enterprise 1S A FALSE ONE, On the contrary, more thau nine-tenths of the entiro populat:on of the South Divielon desires, and most urgently needs, this additionsl facility of passing daily between' theic homes and places of buanocss, as we .shall hereaftor show un- to your Honpors, if we are grauted the oppor- tunity. " FINANCIAL. SutunpAY EVENING, Jane 13, The domand for money, and the terms on which it can be ob:ained, were unchanged to- day. At tho banks, the rate of discount is 8@10 por cent; there are banks exceptionally situsted that have been lending on short time, aud the best of securities at 7 per cent, and would nego- tiato call loans at 6 per cont. On the street the rato is 8@18 per cent, according to circum- stances. Real estate loans are 9@10 per cent. On "Change, money i used in carrying provis- ions at the rate of 5 per cent. Now York Exchange was firm to-day, at 25¢ premium for £1,000, between banks. Foreign exchange is quoted by Skow-Potersen, Isberg & Co. 8s follows: London, 4S314@491; Paris, 515@5103¢ ; Hamburg, 96@953{ ; Detlin, 0 3¢; Delgium, 515@51034; Hollaod, 41@ 2@ & 413¢; Sweden, 28; Norway, 111%; Denmark, 56: Finlaod (Russin), 203 Cable transfers were: ~London, 49214 ; Paris, 50714, Very little currency is poing to the country, and tho receipts far oxceed the shipments. The clearings for the week ending Juno 13, 1874, were $21,290,097.03; the figures for the corresponding week, last year, were $22,861,~ 695.75. 'The balances were 81,956,960.21, correspond- ing to $2,010,309.20 last year. SPECULATION. A marked featare in the business of the city and of the Northwest is the almosc entire ab- eence of epecnlation in all departments of trade. An occastonal ripple comes from the Board of Trade, but it can scarcely be felt amid the stoady movement of legitimato and subscantial produc- tion and traflic, Mnanufacturers have been overproducing, and houoce with them business is bealthy, though not suspended. Merchants and dealers in all standard articles report a fair trade, with nothing like the excitement which always merks a specnlative ers. The dealings in real estate are mainiy with reference to improvo- ment or a getting rid of incmmbrances. The panic of last September scems to hate banished speculation from every branch of business. A leading bunker informed us to-day that a year ago one-fourth of the checks pussing through the Clearing-Honse wero given for epeculativo transactions. These no longer exist, but the settlements at the Clearing- House are now about equal to what they were a year ago. Heace he infers that the legitimate businees of the city has increased about one- fourth above what it was in June, 1873. We pre- sumo the experience of our other leading bankers and business men corresponds with that of tho gentleman whose judgment we quoted. With the abundance of mouey here lna else- where, this absonce of speculation is worthy of special notice and commendation. » LOCAL ETOCKS.

The wholesale lumber market was quiot to- day. Tho receipts were very smail, and ooly two or three cargoes were on sale. The yard trade was about up to the average, the move- mont being principally to the interior. Prices were unchanged, ruling steady for good lumber, and at $1120@12.00 for common, Metuls and nails were in continued good demand for the sea~ £on, the latter very firm at $8.75 rates. Brick, lime, and other bLuilding materials were w chanped. There wassome inquiry for the better grades of timotby hay, and, owing to light offer- ings, prnces for prime and No. 1 advaoced. These grades wero wanted to fill ontside orders. The demand for prairie is chiefly local, and the supply ample. Seeds were quict. Timothy and clover are firm ; millot and Hungarian easy. Hops and broom-corn met _ with a light demand, 0ld potatoes were slow and easy, while tbe fow new_offered sold readily. Green fruits were steady, except cherries and strawberries, which, being 1n larger supply and slow, were offered at lower prices. The poultry market was active, especially for chickens, and recent prices were rendily obtained. Highwines wero quiet, but steady, at tho re- cent dechime, and generally quoted , though New York was easier, at 4Jc. Sales were limited 10 100 brls at 9134c per gallon. Lake freights were rather more active, and & shade easier, at 4c for wheat, 33@337c for corn, and 3¢ for oats, all by sail to Buffalo. To Os- wego, corn was taken at 7c; and wheat to Kin, ton at 73{c. Thero were moro vessols offering. A total of 15 charters was reported, which will carry out 40,000 bu wheat, 290,000 bu corn, and 80,000 bu ozts. 2 Provisions wore weak.

There is & great deal of dissatisfaction among members of the Board of Trade on_the subject of marging in corn. Itis alleged that the gen- tleman who is running the corn deal for himself or others keeps his personal account at one bank, upon which he checks for grain delivered to him, and keeps his marginal ac- count with another bank, an officer_of which is popularly supposed to be deeply interested in the success of the combination which now con- trols the corn market. The question is asked whether it is far %o require members to put up hard money, when they are not sure that cash is put up on the other side. It is also queried what would be tho result incase the marging 8o deposited #hould considerably exceed the $100,000 of se- curity for payment, and the margins not be paid. Also whether or not the Board of Trade would be liable in such & case, as the bonds are signea to the Board as a_corporation aud not any of its mombers. It may be that there is no occasion for distrust ; but the present plan of transacting the margin business undoubtedly preseats the opportunity for operations of n charactor which the wide-awake members of the Board are juet beginniog to realize as- possible. Tho present indications are_that the Board will change the rule for Cepokiting margins 80 o8 to provide that, when either parcy 8o desires it, tho money shall be placed in the bacds of the Treas- urer of the Boaid of Trade, to be kept as a spe- cial deposit until called for. _ The loading produce markets were even more irregular to-day, and weak; wheat being the chief exception, and that was dull. A good deal of the tradiug seemed to be rather of a wid character, being done with & less settled motive than usual. Uncertainty of opinion with 1egard to the fature of values was quite gencial. Tha sbipping mavement was larger than auticipated by thoso who watched the courso of the markct. Dry-goods were being freely distributed to the inferior and local retail trade at firm prices. While the demand is still cluefly to meet con- sumptive wants, there is a _growing inclination among buyers to order in advanco of immediate requiroments, the berdening tendency of prices tonding to promote a speculative feeling. Groceries Were in better request than on yesterday, or the day before, but the general imarket was lacking in activity. The price- changes were confined to an 3{e Gecline in vhite sugars. Coffecs are vory firm just at prosent, and seem likely to advance. Teas also are held at very full prices. Soaps, starch, candles, and most other lines ruled steady and fim. Tha dried fruit trace was quoted quiet and firm. Fish were in bector re- quest at unchanged Dprices. No new features were noted in tho lcxthor, bagging, pig iron, coal, wood, and paiot markets. Oils raled quiot at sbout yestorday's quotations. Lard oil has 81 upward tondenoy in conseqnonce of tho one hanced coss of the Iaw material.

The receipts exbibit n falling off in consequenco of the light demand of the past two or three weeks. Dran was in lght supply, and steady.

Liverpool was quoted easier, aud our receipts were somewhat larger than auticipated, while New York was heavy nn- der the pressuro of large receipts, though the exports from that point alone, for the week ending with Thureday evening, wero 1,566,500 bu. There was very little dwsposition to buy, except that the shippers willingly took for export all tho Miunesota wheat offered. The unsettled condition of tho market here and at other points tended to prevent shippers from operating, and speculative buyers scemed to bave alrendy secured about all they wanted to carry ot present. It is understood that country operators izenerally are long on wheat, believicg that anything uncer £1.25 is the result of a mere temporary depression. The short interest filled in but_slowly, ss 1f they thought it was for their interest to wait a little longer. Sell- er July opened ut $1.1833, declined to &1.181;, advanced to @118, fell back | to #1718, and closed at 81.18%. Scller August sold st $1.138{@1.13}{.

Total, 143,200 bu. Corn was excited aund weak, with great irregu- larity, boing 2?:2,5/0 lower than on Friday o oplions for delivery after this month, and fully lclower on_ cashlots. Liverpool was quoted stronger, and our receipts were largely exceeded by thio shipments, whilo the combination was buying up all the cash corn offered, being un- derstood to be paying demurrage on veesels now in the river waiting to taks out cargoes con- tra $3d for. DBut ail this could mot »1op the downward movement, thouzh lessening the extent of it, Very large sales were made on country account yesterday afteruoon, and offer- im ;3 from the same parties to-day were much in excess of the requirements of buyers. As most of these sales were made by parties who intend to deliver the corn when the option matures, the probability is that tLo reccipts of next month at this point will be very much larger than has been calculated on, unlessprices should break to a point wnero the ecllers will profer to buy in at a heavy profit, and hold their grain for auother advance. The freedom of these offer- ings caused July to sell as much as 134c below tho price of cash lots at ove timo to-day, and mads the August preminms disappear yesterday. Whethor or not the combination wil succeed, in spite of this unexpected increaso in the volume of ~ the grain they wil bs obliged to_tako esro of, is & mooted question.

Grass cattle and common, rough stock gen- orally, havo not shared in_the activity characterizing the marlket for the better qualitics, but they command- ed ashado higher prices than were obtainabls last week. The demand for good to choico grades hag been urgent, and, iberal a3 were the offerings, scllers succeeded in working up pricos 15@25¢ per 100 s, or 10 $5.65@6.70 for fat eteers of from 1,100 t0 1,550 lLs avorago. Thers is now a steady increase in the sup- piy of Texas aud thin native cattle, and a correspond- ing falling off in the receipta of fat corn-fed stock, and while, for the lfter, the prospects are favorable for at least 'a maintenance of prosent rates, the fendency in the former is unmistakably downward.
