Speeist cmw"w',\a{-w Yoz, Juno 17, 1874, The extremohot weather of ihe past week has rarned everskody to beware of rabid doge, and Thursday morcing at 7 o'clock the new DOG-POUND, in Thirty-seventh street, between Tenth and Eleventh avenues, was formally opened, and those persons living in that vicinity who did not Jknow of this new depository for the disposal of dogs began to look with astonishment at tie crowd of men and boys, in ragsand bare of foot, in wagons and in carts, who-thronged that bith- erto quict neighborhood, bearing curs of every kivd and degree to the Pound, to obtain the of- fered roward of 50 cents for each dog found un- muzzled in thestrects. Althongh I should little relish being bitten by & mad dog, yet I thiok tho law, in regard to the dogs, a8 it ia now enforced, a very cruel and unjust oue ; and the pupers, one and sll, are cryivg out sgainst it, and ner- vous maiden lndics are scking, in tremulous tones, Where is Dir.Bergh ? Aud why does he not put ap end to this pitiful stesling and drowning of dogs?" Certain it is that tho gaming of our strects aro getting 8 premium from the city for dishonesty, for 1t amounts to this only. Certain roughs oo Tenth svenue have trained alargs muzzled dog to run down aud tire out any smaller dog, even if he is muzzled, that cen be seen on the! street. Then three or four ragaed archine, lying in wait, scize the capturcd dog. One slips off his muzzle and runs into some area to hide, and the others take the liltle dog and rush off to the Pound, lesving the poor vicim to be emothered there, and getting the promised 50 cents. It is no uncom- mon occurrence for & gangof these boys, who act in concert, to~capture, or, in other words, stenl, four or five muzzled dogs per day : sotbat there is really no safety, evenif your dog be muzzled and in your own back-vard. When these unfortunate dogs have been 1m- prigoned forty-eight howrs without any clauwant sppeering for them, they are put into s large Lank, fifty of them nf & time, oud carbolic-seid gus is let in vpon them.

Althongh her little dog had a muzzle oo, and was guietly eat- ing hin breakfastin the back ares, whilo the lagy and her husband were eabing theirs, yet myiterionsly he had disappeared in an mstant ; aud, a5 tho kcamsress had saxdehie had 2 glimpse of & shock head and ragged habiliments mount~ ing the area iron gate to the back of the prem- ises, the suspicion became confirmed that the strect-Arab bad stolen dog, muzzle, and all, aud was already, no doubt, in the possession of hia Bi-cent fee. And we were in the right of it, for there, tethered to o short chain fixed to a staple in the floor, was ber lost ** Jip,"—*" the dog baby held in herarms even when dying,” said tho poor mother, with a tear in her eve,and a smile of debght, as © Jip,” too frighiened to batk, throst his lit:lered tongue aflectionately into her hand and licked her facein joy.

Thero were over 300 dogs brought in that first opening dny, ond the .five. sturdy policemen at the gates had all they could do, in the way of scoldings, pushings, and almost Agghting, to keep back the impetuous throng of reguod bumsnity that struggled and carsed at tho gate for admission and the 50 cents re- ward. One by one the rabble were sdmitted, left their captured dog or dogs, reccived their foo, wd departed. . WHAT A CONTRAST setween the “ great nnwashed " and somo of the a0bler brutes they dragged to the pen of siaugi- ter! -Men nud boys lost to all eenso of decency, iirty, rough, and profano ; and doga of all kinds, slasscs, and conditions, from the lady's pam- pered pel poadle to the mangy, starving cur that t ecemed a blessing to put out of his sbject nisery. Lhere wero dogs whoso intelligent faces served to throw out in still stronger contrast tho brutal animal countenauces of their captorg; dogs whose sleek, silky bides, sod full, rouzd, 1lmost speriing eyes, were in vivid contrast to ibe unkempt, dirty, bloated features of .he de- rraded specimens of humanity who held them; {ogs tremiling, paralyzed with fear ; and bratal, Gerce, red-cyed dogs, who looked etill more fero- tious by their very desperation. And still crowds of the scum of humavity besicged the gatcs aud orought these captured wrotches, good and bad ; and siill crowds of people poured i at the en- Vanco in search of stolen houseliold pots. Whien you enter the inctosure whero the dogs wre contined, the sound iy almost deafeniug, and sl Lurks aud yells take all tones or_expression, Irom the rupturons joy of the little dog at being recognized, Lo the low growling, born of despair, aud the sad eloquence of desperate sppeal. It - seemed a8 if these poor imprisoned creatures [ully unoerstood why they were thus confined, and what was to e their final disposal ; and, in tho quick bark of igpominy, and the sad plead- ing of the eyes, you can read 2n ALXOS: ©UNAN INTELLIGENCE. . There was water aud food within reach of those Do needed iz, though but vory few of the ani- mals, chaived Aud uncomfortablo as thoy were, would either drink or eat. When any dog was cimmed by bis or her owner, what & perfect Pan- Gemoninm of yells and barks assailed your ears. And with what delight the lost dog was freed from_ his cbain, and proudly and exultantly marched, with head erect, beride his owner, out of his dungeon ! It would move the most stony beart to see theso dogs, and how resdily they scem to understand Lheir fato; and 1 sm sure some more bumane way might be dovised, even If there was auy énecessity for encouraging these gamins to steal protected property for the thio sake of the 50-cent roward. Our goodly Gotham has just been seriously agitated over the SUDDEN AND NTSTELIOUS DIUGGING of 3 certain wealthy retired Swedich sen-Captain, by name Andersen, who claims that he had in & Lelt on his person 260,000 worth_of wucut din- monds; and that in broad dayught, seeling out 3 dismond-broker on Broadwar, he was accosted by o young man, calling imself tho broker's clerk, who told Lim the broker was uot in, and to call aain 2t 2p. m. At 2p. m. Capt. Ander- sen, again leaving his botel, was accosted by the same young man avd 2 femalo (whom eaid young oroger's clerk introduced as his wife), and who odered .to accompany him_ to the diamond- vroker's office. Ardersen, who speaks hroken Englivh, and claims to be 8 stranger in the aity, the testifies that, after leading himan _endless walk, and baviug & fewdrinks of lager, thoy sud- denly arplied chioroform to bis face, and b lost toasciouxness only Lo find himself, on awakemng, i an ucderground_cellar of some unknown ienement-house. From bhere ho escaped, stunned and balf-ancouscious, and was found cecling in the streets, early in the morning, by the police. who took him in charge for ken- oess, when, on couveying him to the sta- fion, his {frte situaton and story came out, a8 stated by himeelf: Ao left a yousy bride, from 5 L espectallo German family, at tha « Hotel (Sweeney's). who was, of course, nearly frantic “over, his _three days’ disappearance, and the knowledge that bo Lad the diamonds'with him for sale. The police never belioved in this story ; it seemod too improbable that euch drug ug and robbery could take place in broad day- ieht, even in the worst strcets of New Ycrk. Loy did believe, however, that Capt. Andersen bad been DOBBED IN SOME '‘ PANEL-HOUSE,” and, uwilling to tell the truth to bis young wife's friends, bad invented that story of the s broker's clork” and the subsequent chloro- form-robbery. All the city was oxcited over the matter, It ‘was the common topic of conyersa- tion in the cars, stages, and on tho ferry-boats. Plethoric gentlomen of nervous prochivities -clutched watch, chain, and pocket-book in frantic fear, and young lawyers and ‘Wall-street ‘clorks kept steady eyes on the obe “golitmre™ stud that adorned ehirt-front or finger. Nearly every ove believed the honest, unsophisticated Swedieh Captain's story, avd cried out about the negligence and incompetency of our detectivo police force, and their willing- nces to pronounce the siory **unnatural” wolely because it would oxpose their (the police's) utter carelessnoss. Bat, while the people and papers thus clamored, 8 few quiet detectives were inquiring into tho antecedents of this Swedish Sea-captain, aged 50 years—his bride being scarcely 19—and THEY HAVE ASCERTAINE! First, that Andereen never was o Captain, or even at ses, except when coming to this country 88_a Bteernge emigrant; secondly, that he is a dser by trade, and has worked at his trado in Brooklyn; thirdly, that bis nameis not Andreen; Tourthly that he bas ropresented himself as & Baron somebody. and married the young lady by false representations: and, lastly, shat he never lost, or even had, auy diamonds, cut or ancut. So ‘s wonderful sonsation has exploded, and people that havo diamonds breathe casier, and our detective police force is not considered such & very ineflicient police sftor all.

BeoLax, e e MISS WILLARD IN THE REPUBLICAN CON- VENTION. To the Editor of The Chicaao Tribune * Biz: Are you ot wrong in charging the Re- ‘publican Convention with ungallantry inrefusing to nominate Miss Willard for the office of State Superintondent of Public Instruction? Itap- pears tomo that youare. When women enter the political arena, they have norightto ask more than an equal chance with men; and. so far from the Coovention denying this to Miss Willard, they evidently sccorded to her sex the compliment of 124 votes on the first ballot. No man, with her ‘antecedents,’ could havo had the 24, minus the hundred; for did not that Con- veution seek to turn back the German vote, and 18 not Miss Willard prominent in the Temper- snce-Crusade, which is the straw that has broken the long-suffering German back, avd the tracos which bound the sons of the Fatheiland to the Republican party ? Perbaps 1o one was, or is, more conscious than the members of thot Convention of Miss Willard's eminent titness for the place to which her friends wished to eloct her; but she is a teruperance leader and lecturer of the ultra radical stamp ; is 2 teetotaler, and advocates tho St. Pral . principlo, that we should ecat no meat k0 long as the world stands, if, by 80 doing, we cause our brother to offend. The Cguventiqn could not have nonunated her without throwing down the gauatlet to tue liq- uor-interest. Thero ae people, no doubt, who see no immediate connection betiween public in- struction and temperance, but they are .ot in- formed. The question has entered the public schools, and that class of citizens who feel nggrieved by the temperance movement are de- termined to demand approval of the liquor-traf- fic in sll candidaies for oitice, as essential to their support. As temperance people peck to lcaven the minds of pupils iv the public schools with their principles, so anti-temperance people beek to impress oo the rising generation their own 1deas of eivil liberty, and are likel to con- trol the teachings in our public schools. For instance, I Lave in my possession a echool-exer- ciee of & pupil 1 the Brown School, which proves that temperauco people ara ot to bave au un- disputed field m these 1nstitutions. 1n this case the teacher furnished the pupil with niue ques- tions to which nuswers were to be written. The ninth reads thus : *Tell in as many ways a8 you can how alcoholic driuks are injunous.” " In anewer, the scholar wrote: ** Alcobolic drinks are injurious, phyically, mentally, and morally. It injures the physical organs of man by causing inflammation in the stomuch, so that thut organ canaot perform its duty. 3entally, because it soon muddles the brain, and that, by beiug ze- peated, renders it useless. “Morally, because 1t makes brutes of men, who, wheng much intoxicated, commit mwider and'a great mauy other crimes.” This was submitted o the teacher for correc- tion, and returned with a black mark drawn through “ morally ” in the first paragraph, wiile the gecond was marked out altogether; which leads one to infer that, accordy to last ac- ccuuts, alcoholic drinks aro not considered mor- slly injurious by auchority of the Brown School, aod that & stufement to that offect is more in violation of gchool-rules than a gingular pro- poun for a plural noun. Nosw, if Miss Willard were Superiutendent, tho morality of the com- position would have been approved aud the grammar condemned. So I assume that Miss Willard's defeat was on_a question of principle, not of sox. JANE GREY SWISSHELM. SO, 4 THE GHOUL OF MONTPARNASSE. Some years ago, there was a terrible uproar in the cemeteries of Pans. Armed guards patrolled them every night, endeavoriug, in vain, to dis- cover a mysterious being, always unseen, but whose passage left marks as fearful as theywero extraordinary. The sauctity of the grave bad been violated, ang the bodies of the dead, strangoly torn sud distigured, Lad been dragged some distauce and left lying in tho walls. Fucts etill moro hideous and which will not bear xecital, filled with hor- ror the keepers of the Cimotiers du Sud, on the morniugs of tho 15th of Néverber, and 12th of December.

A Eull Acconnt of the Manzoni Requi= em--IHlow It Was Composed, From the New York Evening Post. Theo fact that Siz. Muzio, on lus return to this city in the full, will bring with him the score of Verdi's new mass, intending to produce it in this cicy with all the resources of the new Strakosch opera company, will justify our devoting some gpuce to an account of the work. Verdi is a vory great admiror of the genins of Alsuzoni, and wus a warm personal friend of the dead poet and povelist. The last time they met, Manzoni grasped bis hand tightly, saying. ** Let me press your band, for I fear we_shall never see each other again.” The words were pro- phetic. A few months later, Manzoni died. On the day after the funeral, Verdi—says the Figaro, from which we gather most of these facts—vurote to the municipality of Milan, ao- nouncing his intention of composing & roguiem mass for the first anniversary of the poet's death. From that time Le devoted his best energies to tho fulfillment of this promise. Ia the month of June, 1873, Verdi went to Paris with bis wife (formerly Jille. Strapoli, the croator of the puiucipal role in his opera of “Nubuco”). He took rooms attho Hotel de Bade, whero ho rewained iucognito for three moutls. ‘The day after his arrival, s pianoforts was couveyed to his apartment, and he was promptly acwork. He wentout walkivg overy morning from 7 to 10 o'clock, and, while stroling along, mentally conceived the pian of his forthcoming composition, and sketelied out its principal fea- tures. His afternoons ho devoted to reading, his tastes leading pim to the study of the best phascs of French literature. In the evening, whilo Jr. do Locle and Mr. Ercudier, the only friends admitted to the privacy of his Parisian_home, chatted with his wife, Verdi, pensivo aud silent, seated himself at the piano. 1le would run overa prelude. and then murmur solfo toce eome melody, without paving the slightest attention to his compan- ions, who, on their part, wers careful not to dis- turb him. It was during these quict even- ings thut Verdi composed the most salient points of the mass. After remainivg an hour and a half at the plano, be would step out for another stroll in the Doulevards, returning to retire at 10 o'clock. When he went back to Italy, the greater part of the requem was com- posed. He prepated the orchesiration at Genon, and the completo work was ternunated in the month of April last. There was uot much time left to rehoarse the mass, aud prepere it for the enuiveisary of tha Qeath of Manzoni. The task was at once begun, Notod artists from all parts of Italy solicited the honor of taking part in the performance. They came to Milan at their own expence, and placed their talents at the disposition of the great maestro. Tho orchestra was quickly formed, comprising 110 musicinns, all of first rauk, and including the musical directors of the chief theatres of ltaly. Five thourand musi- cians—many coming fiom us far as Sicly—had sought the privilege of assisting at tuis musical solemnity.” The ranks of the chorus were recruited from among the best-known singers, the chorus of the La Scala opern serv- ing as the foundation. Four of the most cele- brated artists of Iialv—Madame Teresa Stolz, Madame Maria Weldman, Signor Capponi, and Siguor emi—were engaged as the solois:a. With such interpreters the rebearsals pro- ceeded rapidly. On the 21sc of May the last full reliearen! took place, under the pesoual. direc tion of tho composer. No outsiders were ad- matted to this rehearsal on any pretext what- over; but reveral composers managed to dis- cover the pessword, and g0 slipped in among the ranks of the chorus. On the day of the performance, the Church of St. Mark at Milan was the centro of public inter- est. The facade of the edifico was very simply decorated with black drapery, relieved by laurel wreaths, Above the door floated a black ban- ner, Lesring in lottors of gold the inscription : ‘To THE MIMORY OF MANZONI. 23d May, 1874, The Cathedral of Milan would not have held all who wished to hear the requiem, but St. Mark’s Church was selected for the ceremony because its acoustic properties are superior to those of the Duomo. DBesides this, the clergy of the Cathodral were navwilling to pernut women to sing in the choruges. Tho chief of the parieh of St.” Mark bad uo such ncmglc, and, by special authorization of the Archbishop, he yielded up to Verdi the free use of the church for the day. The interior of the eacred edifico was bat slightly draped with black crape and green wreaths. Before the chancel stood a bier cov- ered with a black pall, decked with roses and lau- rels, the whole surrounded by lighted candles. The eingors wero placed in the choir to the right of tho aitar, the orchestra to the loft. In the middie wero four seats for the soloists, and a music-desk for tha conductor. These arrange- ments were all personally-directed by Verdi, The clock strack 11. Verdi took his place at the conductor's desk, and the mass began. Tho work cousisted of seven different morceauz. Thero is vo prelude. , The chorus is heard at the soventh bar, and begins the requiem by several broken phrases, which, anys & listener, ** impart to the mind of theaulitor a sort of religious ter- ror, and prepare him for the sombrs drams which is to follow.” These broken phrases led toa Kyrieof grand sonorily and power of ox- pression. The second morcear, the Dies Ira, is of itselt a drama in & drama, for it is composed of nine episodes: Firse, Dies Irce, chorus s Tuba mirum chorus id iber scriptus, chorus and fugue; Qui sum miser, trio for soprano, mezzo-soprano, and tenor; Ker tremendw, quartet and chorus} Re- cordare, duo for eoprano and MeZZo-80PrAnO; Ingemaseo, eolo for teoor: Confulatus, golo for basso; Lacrymosa, quartet and chorus. This musical picture of the Last Judgment is tho masterpicce of the mass, It is arranged with great slull_and sustained by magnificent orohestration. In the Tuba mirum four groups of trumpets placed at the four angles of the body of chorus siogers respond to cach other successively, and then tho full orchestra and chorus burst ont into a formidabie tutli, pro- ducing an astonishing effect. The bass solo is a superb conception. Tac third morceau, Domine Jesu, sn:offertory for soprano, mezzo-soprano, tanor, and basso, is natusally of o moro placid cuaracter. It is one of the most finished and perfoct featares of the wholo work. The prelude, which slightly sug- gests that of Rossini’s Stabat Mater, the grand unison for stringed instruments, the prayer for soprano accompanled by the highest notes of the, violins, the admirable phrase of the Hostias first’| presented by the tenor and taken up successively by the otber voices—all suem to be the perfection of musical writing. In tho Sanctus—tbe fourth morceau—Verdi offers & fague for double chorus, in which he shows & thorough mastery of counterpoint. The fast throe morceauz, an Agnus Dei for ROprano, mezzo-goprano, and chorus ; Luz afer- na, trio for mezzo-soprano, tenor, and bnss; sud Libera me, solo for soprano and ‘fague chorus, are worthy of what precedes thom, 1he orches- tration in the Zuz @lerna is specially noticeable. Such, bastily sketched, are the details of this mogniticent work, which will take its placo among the grandest musical conceptions of our ago. Ouly In one or two places doas it recall thie ordiuary formulas, the familiar troits, or the manperisms, of Verdl. It is fres from those exapgerauons, * from thoee brusque con- tragts, and from tnat carelessness of stvie which often mar his compositions; the inspiration is elevated, tho style well sustained, the orchestration firm and powerful, and the disposition of the voices always remarkable. The new tendencies of musical art, and the more modern exigencies, are_skillfully harmon- ized with tne traditions of the Italian school. There will probably be discussions as to whether the character of tho music 18 suficiently reli- gious. Indeed. it is claited that the requiem is but a drama,—a eacred drams, it is true,—but o drama in which pathos is canied up to the maxi- mum of intensity. The executiun of the mass waa superb., The fair soloists will prolably visit the principal cities of Europe to sing this music. They be- gin in Paris av—of 2ll plftes—the Opera Com- ique. Iu tuis country the stupendous work will Le produced under tne direction of one of Yerdt's Iavorita pupile—tho scsomplshed Signor uzio. From the same parer (editarial). In another column we give & full account of the Manz nitaqulem( to which the grest com- oser of ** Rigoietto” and ““Aida” has devoted i loisuro for tho past voar. Iiis his first as- tompt on anv elaborate scale at music for the church, though hia various operas—notably “Lombardi” ‘and the ‘" Forzs del Destino"— give evidence of his ability in this branch _of his art. Yet, a perucal of various Italian and French criticisms of the Manzoni mass forces one to the balief that certain portions of it are of rather t00 secular a coaracter to suit s sovere tasto. Indeed, ono admirer of Verdi in L' Eco dllalia, sdmits that a certain passage suggests the ballet rather than the Church; but then the majesty and dignily or tho groater part of the work are generally conceded, whilo tho scienufic skill shown in the construction of the_tugues will astonish thoso 7o have denied to Verdi a practical mastery of this branch of musical knowledgo. . At La Scala, Jlan, where the mass was given in public subsequently to its church perform- ance, it was great success. Verdi was brought upon tho stage and crowned with a massive suver crown relioved with golden ornauments and decked with a ribbon beariu tho Star of Italy worked dismonds. As ho left tho theatre tho crowds in tho streefs received Lim with snouts of what scemed deliriogs spplause, ana endoavored to detach the horses and draw his carrisze through the streets. Vord: was much affected by these evidences of regard. Ho bas left Milan for Paris to superintend tho production of the mnas there.

The New Yors Journal of Commerce savs, with reference to the ease of money in that market: *3loney is very plenty. Jnny seem surprised that it is g0 sbundant, and we have been at some Little pains to ascortain the sources of supply. As usual at this season, the surplus of the whole conntry is poured into New York eod other money-centros, but this year the flow bas been unusualiy steady and abundant. Sin- gular a8 it may geem, we find the largest fountain at the South. Lax: fall and wintor, whon there waa the greatest scarcity at the seaboard, we found thata e amount was locked up at the South. Not in banks, or it would bave been atilized, but in the pockets or chimney-corners of the negroes. and in tho boxer and packs of the Jow peddlers aud others who pick up somo of the earlier disburse- ments. This money bas been coming out as the laborers are spending it, and the gatherers are bringing it hero. It1s ovident that the Souch is not quite as poor as supposed. In Southern channels whero large streams of capital formerly ran, and in places whore these formerly accu- mulated in that section, there has baen a mod- erate supply of money; but in narrower limits and more sad more private hoards the fuliness ban been pusticulsrly uoticed by all closo ob- servers, aud wo trace much of our present abund- ance to these comparatively-hidden springs.

The New York Herald snys: * Under the plea of funding thair indebtedness, there csn bo little doubt that some of the Southern States ara openly contamplatioz repudistion. Lousi- ana is proposing, under the authority of an act of the Legiulature, to repudiate 40 per cent of the smount of her acknoyledged debt by issuiog in exciango for outstanding bonds new forty- year bonds to the amount of 60 per cent of the Tace value of the existing isaues ; whilo South Carolina was but recently represented by a com- mittee in New York, who, on behalf of the Scate, proposed that tho Government shall ignore $6,000,000 of bonds, beceuso they were not issued, as provided by law, to take up other bonds; and ~‘that the re- maining 310,000,000 of .the debt shall bo converted into ne'v condolidated bonds at 50 cents on the doliar. As tho State is becom- Ing eadly disorganized and impoverished under corrupt political rule, it is not improbable that even these strange proposals may be scccepted by maoy bondholders, for the creditors of the Stato seem to think that the lers the Govern- ment undertakes to pay the better may be their chiances of getting something. Alabama appoears to bo making no special cffort to enforco ths collection of taxes to pay the January interest upon her debt. On the other hand there is con~ sidered to be littie doubt that Virginia will be able to pay ber Junuary interest on or befors the 1st of July. sud that, if ber new Tax bill_can be enforced, the provision for her futuro interest payments will be awple, kow-Petersen, Isberg & Co. roport the rates of foreign _exchange ns follows: Loudon, 4881{@401; Paris, 515@511%(: Hamburg. 0@ 9687 ; Berlin, 72@723¢; Belgium, 515}{@510){; Holand, 41@413¢: “Sweden, 23; Norway, 111} Donmark, 56; Finland (Lusiia), 203.

The leading produce-markets were very slow to-day, oxcept in spots, there being & general disinclination to trade, especially in the first hour of the session. Tho warm weather, augar- ing well for the crops, caused pooplo to look a listle further ahead thsn usual, and the question of current supply s compared with demand took the sccond place.’ The situstion was unfavorable to an active shbipping movement, which is seldom witnessed on Saturday, and the markets dragged. the ex- ception to the rule being only whoro there is fear of 8 cornor. The receipts of corn woro very largo, 28 for two or three days past, but on the incroase, promising to give us even more than the 8,000,000 bu which we roferred to this mora- g as tho probsble aggregate of the corn to comae in from thattime to the eud of the month. “I'ho dry goods market was not specially active in'any deparrment, while aside from s few of the leading staple articles tho movement was sluggish. The market maintains an excseding- Iy firm tone, however, and there is little donbt that within the next fortnight standard cotton productions will command sdvanced prices. Groceries were in moderate request at substan- tially the prices carrent yesterdsy, where they wers steadily held with perhaps the eoxcoption of = reined sugars, which azain show an advancing tendency. Coffees nre still gomewhat neglected, but the firm tone of the Eas‘orn and European markets gives holders contidence, and thero is little m Chmation to increano eales st tho sacrifice of prices. Teas are fairly sctivo and firm. The butter trade was again fuirly active, bui con- tinued heavy receipts sorve 1o keop tho market weals and uusettled. Cheese remnins_dull, with a downward tendency. Cauned goods aro active, and are selling irregularly and lower. No change wos apparent in the dried fruit mar- iet. Dulloess still prevails, and but for the meagro supply lower prices wonld no doubt obtam. Nothing new was noted in connection with the coal, wood, pig- iron, and leather markets, quiet provailing all around, witn prices rather in busers' favor. Paints and oils ruled very quiet, with no material Variation in prices. Carbon and lard were firm, while liusced and turpentine were weak. At the lumber yards a moderate business was transacted at unchanged prices. The whole- sale market was quiet, there being only a fow cargoes on sale. ~ Metals, iron and hardware were steady and in fair interior demand. The orders are usnally small but numerous, 8o that trade on the whole is_exceptionally good tor the summer season. Nails are firm at $3.75 rates net, and meec with a good demand. The iron market is _still weak, though trade in merchandise goods & is fair. Building materials, cooperagze and mnaval storcs ~ were quiet aud unchanged. Salt continues active and fair at 21.70@1.80 for fine, £1.70 for coarse, and $£3.60%1.60 for dairy with bage. Wool was in good request and firm under moderate offerings. Hidss were steady aud salable to local tanners and dealers at full recent prices. No new featurcs were reported in hops, hay, secds, or broom corn. Potatoes were in moderate request at easier prices. Smail green froits were in liberal supply, especially strawberrics, and slow and lower, while orangea and Jemons were in demand, the latter ruling steady at $12.00@12.50 per box. Pouliry met | buyin: New York was reported easier; but our market is vory closely gold, and the offsrings aro small, Lako freights were rather more active than on Fridar, and unchanged on Buffalo rates, which ware 3){c on corn, and 3}¢c on wheat. Lower lako rates were oasier, corn being taken to Oswe- ro at 63fc. Wheat through to New York was quoted at 17c. A total of thirieen, charters was reparted. which will take out 70,000 bu wheat, 275,000 bu corn, aud 15,000 bu oats. Provisions were quiet, but firmer. Mess pork advanced 10c per brl, and lard 10@15¢ per 100 Ibs, while meats wero a shade firmer at previous quotations. There was a moderate domand at former prices, which holdsrs were not willing to accept. Hence littlo was done. The receipts of Thogs were less, and the aoimal was quoted firmer, while New York anowed a stronger tone on pro— duct,and our weak holders had proviouslysold oat.
