Nzw YORK, Sept. 18.~In a former fetter I men- tioned the materials most probable to be worn duriog the coming falland winter. Now it is pos- sibie to speak with authority concerning them. The latest importations show us the majority of tiue wool. suitings m white. Tue handsomest, by fax, of all these is knownasthe Angora cloth. It i8 of finest wool, and is unsurpassed for the elegance with which it drapes. It comesin vhize, generally with the faintest ecru tint. cloth is intended to be made into entire lumes brightened and relieved by garnitures of some bright color. Exquisitely delicate laces and insertions of the finest wool are imported 8s trimmings for these dresses. A very elegant toilette of this description has bands of bright cardinal ribbon placed wuder the insertion, -while bows of the same oraament every avail- sble point. A pretty variety of camel’s hair comes fn _light y8 and browns, but & dress made solely of one of these colors offers so much gameness that they are gener- ally used in combination with dark silk. very handsome camel’s hair comes in rich chocolate- brown, and is e@woven, with the fuze gathered closely on the top, that an appearance of great beauty and strength is given. This material, 27 fnches wide, sells for only 20 cents per yard, but is eminenily desirable in combination. In mo- hair are shown some shaded stripes which are asually made up with the plain material. Cos- tumesof the latter, in tints of brown, stonc- color, and warm drab, are very effective when combined with dark-brown, purple, or navy- blue. For elegant costumes fine cashmere will take precedence of &ilk, which will be employed aliost solely as itures for and in combina- tion with the former. For this purpose, later inthe season, merchants will oifer,in all the new shades, very excellent qualities of silkk fur $1 per yard. ) 1'will now describe a few HANDSOME TOILETTES, containing some of the novelties of the season. A hanasome dress of tine mousc-gray casi- mere has the skirt very long and straight. Around the bottom is a pleated fluunce eight inches deep surmounted by s scant guthered ruflie. Above this are two very full puils, the upper one headud by aquilling of dark gray sk. The polonaise provided with this dress is cut in front in a long-rounded point. The back is & long straizht breadth so arranged as to but- tou over thesiles. Tbe edge of tue polonaise is cruameated by a full puff of cashmere, with 3 silk quilling on cach side. Below this is a heavy netted fringe of woolen balls and silk tasscis. The sleeves, close coat-s) are rounded at ihe Lottom, and open hali-way to the elbow; they are trimmed to match the polonaise. This garment, which opens in the front, hasa puff running up each side, and between these are ploced the Jong bows of gros grain, which fasten the polonaise to within a foot of the edge. Another baudsome toitette is 8 combina- tion of pale fawn-colored cashmere and rich chocolate brown silk. The skirt of cashmere has & decp-gathered flounce, very scant, snd edged with a ine koife-pleating of the silk. Above this flounce is a bias band ol silk, beavily corded on each side, sud surmount- ing this is a band of the cashmere cut in points zud bound with silk. The extreme end of these points falls over the silk band, The heading of al ia an upright pleating of silk an inch wide. The tunic, which reaches just to the top of the ekirt trimming, is cut in poiuts and corded; it Las an odging of very fine knife-pleating, and in eacls poiut §s°a little ornament of fine sik cord. ‘Tue Laek is claborately looped, the drapery be- jup kuld in place by massive cords and tassels of botl: suades used iu the dress. The basque is exceedingly tight and emnooth, and is quite long, litting over the bips without a crease. The neck is tut square {n iront, and edged with a koife- pizating of silk which Etands up, and at the back Turms a s0rt of collar. The front of the basque is losed by concesled buttous, while a delicate silk cord of dsrk brown simulatesa laving. The T more dressy effect is produced by inserting some colored muterial underthe open-wm;umm‘;nsnd;. TIE S. - PARIS. TAPESTRY. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Panis, Sept. -Among the most interesting exhibitions i Paris at present is that of rare tapestry in the Palace des Champs Elysecs. It is the most valuable collection ever displayed, and there we behiold the magnificent coloring and elegant designs of Le Brun and other great artists, which are marvels at the present time. The most costly are the hangings taken from and duty, when he ought to have been firm and true to them; for that, as the Bible eaith, he was condemued: ** For because thou hast heark- cned to the voice of the woman,” ete. Though there might Le produced much more testimony equal to the abuve, yet I believe thisis for the present enough to demolish what has been said on the other side. Y But to show that the O1d and New Testaments exactly coincide, and that Paul’s doctrine_com- ing from the Lord is as old as the world, I will add a few samples from the Old Testament. In the first chapter of Genesis we read that man was created, and he only, in the image of God. Inthe second chapter, eighteenth verse, we read ‘‘that it was not good for man to be alone,” showing that the woman could not bein existence at that time if Adam was alone. With the palaces of Louls XIV., whose delicacy of execution is due to the talents of the greatest masters in the art of painting. There are speci~ mens ef Oriental tapestries of an extremely re- mote era, which are grotesque and fautastic, from which the elegant Greeks took their ideas of Centaurs and other ornaments for their archi- tecture. There are also subsequent produc- tions of the refined taste of Atitens, although all areinferiortothe Globcliortapestry ofalaterday. There is a world of art in this display, and the effect of color could be studied to advantage by many who have left the realms of beautiful conception, aud invented terms to mislead the ignorant, which true artists would deride. The ctates af fashion, although apparently concise, are extremely vague, snd admit of as many changes as sunset clouds can offer, but are far less poetical in their origin. X THE NEW COLORS, “tete de megre,” “‘morne verte,” ‘“blande- jaunissaut,” merely signify that a broad license is ermitted in the chioice of colors tor the fall, ung chamelon color would be cgually explicit. These terms, however,garc unknown in our flower manufactories, which display a grandeur never egualed before, where the pale and gor- geous hues of fiowers and autumn lcaves of every shade all mingle in the harmony of nature. Dark purple rose-buds and the magnificent yellow ros¢ of Dijon. contraet charmingly, and Vary the monotuny which has so long been pro- duced by s profusion of red. A FEW BIRDS OF PARADISE have becn imported from the Molucca Islands, with throats of golden green and crowns of brownish yellow, but 25 they are truly almost worth their weight in gold, otuer species from Japan and Persia will be in great demaud. The ue which has been put on their plumuge, as wellas that of the ostrich, bas brought into fashion almost every other variety of featlers, which are profusely used. Many of these have a stylisih appearance, when gracefully arranged, on the favorite sombre-hued capotes and tur- bans, but caution must be used in their arrange- ment on the high-crowned mnpeau-fmmr?," or an outre effect will be produced. 1t is true this is now synonomous with unique, and is ad- mired by some on that account. CLOAKS . will be wornof circular form, although long sacques will probably predominate. The former admit of being lined” with fur and have the ad- ‘vautage of warmth, but not of economy, as their whole beauty depends on the trimming, which maust be of sable, Many of the sack sbape arc now in preparation for foreign orders, aud onc, for a Russian lady, is of heavy black armure silk, lined with white quilted faille and trimmed with chinchilla, Our modistes have been un- asuslly busy in preparing toilettes for the present, on account of numerous fetes and balls given in honor of celebrated visitors. THE GREAT BALL at the Casino Dicuville given to the Prince_of of Wiles was traly an elegant affair. His Royal Highness eloquently expressed his admira- tion of tue manarcment which produced such happy results. Paris was gorgeous with flowers last week, in honor of the mewory of St. Louis, and the environs never presented a more at- tractive appearance in floral decorations and il- luminatio In the the midst of some of these tlowers a 'Ql was geeu to fail a3 if exhausted.

To the Editor of The Triture. CHICAGO, Sept. 15.—In the Sunday edition of Sept. 3 are two articles, intended as answers to an editorial in the Sunday issuc before, under the head of * Woman in Polities.”” In these ar- ticles the claim of superiority of the female over sleeves are trimmed to match, and laced the en- tire length down the onter seam. AN ELEGANT DINNER OR EVENING TOILETTE has the skirt of bright currant-red silk poplin, trimmed with a gathered flounce surmounted by 8 pleated one sewed on with 2 Leading of its own. The overskirt is of white Angora cluth, vory tint, and is long and rounded i front. It js edzed with fingerdeep fine woolen lace. Above this are two rows of insertion separated by a ruching of eilk poplin, fringed out on both sides. Under each row is plaved a band of the currant-colored puplin. The sleeves are of the" latter, ornamented by lace and jusertion. In every possible place are bows of double-faced us-gTain, ivory-white and currant-red, and the ?:n;e shirred pocket is lined and trimmed with 4t. “Thisfs = very handsome dress, and though at first thought itis suggestive of consider- able expente, it is really. procurable with the male sex is set up, in opposition to your re- marks, and on grounds probably satisfactory to themselves, but perhaps mot so much so to others. As this is averyimportant subject, which concerns_everybody, and ii which ‘every one should be allowed to have avoice to express an opinion, I beg to be allowed a small space in your paper to show the sandy foundation upon which our fuir fricnds have built their assump- tion, and that, if tkeir hopes of success do not rest upon better grounds than those advanced, it seems strange that they can induige in any hope at all, but if they really do rest upon better, then Ttis ET;:IU strange thatthey use such feeble arguments. As a preliminary to ny argument in_ favor of male superiority, I would beg to say that it is not a vainglorious desire for the possession of a fanded or actual superiority of the male sex little.

Indeed, this season, fashion sceius to have made many little concessions to ceunumy, and the exercise of good taste and in- dustry a3 bome may be made prductive of end- Jess churming additions to the toilette. A pretty taucy exists for having embroidered lace oruaments snitable for each costume. A little pretiy lace_will do wonders, if skillfully man- spulated. Heavy foss is used to over-work the most prominest design in the lace, and the culor used is the one woich prevails in the toi- lette witn which itis to be worn. Handsome Jaces, fiue thread and real guipure, are sold at suel: incredibly low rates that it is in the power of aimust every lady to.add these essential dec- orations to her wardrobe. Beautiful barbes of real thread-lace may be purchased for the mod- erate sum of $3, and they range in price, according to quality, from this to 515, Hand- some shunlder-apes of real lace are to be for from $10 to $30, and they bid fair to be rouch worn. Some of them are pointed in the back and narrow on the shouiders, but wost of them are in the usnal pelerine shapes. over the female that actiates me In this ques- tion, but a fervent desire only to see truth, and therefore right, trinmph and be _established in every cause, and on whatever side it may be, because in truth alone is contained strength,— the elemenut of satisfaction and happiness,— while in error always is contained weakness— the element of disappointment and misery, If I could see truth to be on the female side, I should rejcice a5 much asif it was on the male side, ard I would labor for its demands and its establishment just as ardently, inasmuch as I should know that my laborewould not be in vain, and that I should contribute to the hap- piness and weil-being of somebody. Both articles being so much alike that they almost appear to be written by one, 1 ghiall consider that an answer to one will suf- fice for both. The only arzument which scems 1o me worthy of attention, and which scems in- decd the only argument in the whole, is that of Adam and Eve. Both writers declare that Eve was the strongest, and therefore the serpent ad- dresscd itself to her as the real fortress, acutely arguing that if once the fortress is taken, the ison will soon succumb. The argument used to fortify this novel opinion,—for it is As the season progresses, such improvements are mide in 5 CHILDREN’S GARMENTS br combining comfort and style that every wiagther wonders how she could have used, much 1ess approved, the complications of dress ouce onsidered net for children. Now, to be 1ashionable, the clothes of the little ones cannot be tov simple. Dress skirts are made closer Lhan ever, and with but slight trimmings.

That usefol and pretty garment, the gabrielle, has given place to the polunaise 18 something fresher. Mothers of economical turn will hail its advent with nothing else,—is very weak, indeed. To sup- port such & novel ides, one would supgose that some weighty and conclusive arguments would be used, but such is not the case. The weakness of the arguments used becomes the more apparent when viewed by the tight of the facts, as they are stated in Scripture, which emphatically and plainly contradicts this asser- tion. And when we further consider that these facts should be known to every average student of the Bible, and to every lover ~of truth, our fair {friends evidently lay themselves open to the suspicion cither of aculpable neglect in regard to informa- tion at Land, orof a dishonest suppression of every fact which might tend to the defeat of a cherishied cause. But I will now proceed to the facts themselves. Paul the Apostle of our Lord Jesus Christ saith in I Cor., Xiv., 87: *‘If any man think himself 10 be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowl- edge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.” And what delight, for it and the pretty ‘combination cos- tumes will be the means of utilizing many of last year's merinos, alpacas, etc. A nre‘t_%fi, *serviceable skirt ol cashmere or alpaca scrve os a foundation for any number of changes by huving several polonaises. For making this Gesirable garment, 1 counsel every oneto pro- cure the “Domestit ”” paper fashion, 1,088, price 25 vents. Itis an :xeeudlngl{uprcny shape and quite dressy, though simple the extreme in ite construciion. by prevalent is the fancy for wearing white to-the fall that the most fashionable gar- ment for a calld or young miss is a_walking- woat of white pique or cashmere. If of tie former, they are elsborately trimmed with lamburg dgmf andinsertions; if of cashmere, gr) tbe gamiture generally velver or silk and rhd » 85d creaw, and ivorv-white samei'e-lair switings make up 1nto el t Lictle wacyues and coats, when trimmed with purple, Gark-green, or npavy-blue velvet. A favonte garment for small children is the little pleated * dress, almost tight-fitting in front, and " in the vack presenting a pleatcd skirt and jacket,— an admirable model susceptible of much adurn- ment. Very handso:ue ones are made of heavy white pique, trimmed around the bottom with three-inch wide Hamburg edging. Above this . are large dismonds, inserted in the material, and of very beautiful workmanship. Oune pret- ty dress trinuned in this way is buttoned diag- onally zeross the front, and hus an ornamental pocket at the side. (By-the-wary, these side- ckete sre os escentizl on the dresses of the itlle Tolks as ou thuse of the larger ones.) The back 6! the skirt is laid in large side-pleats, and the Little jacket is trimmed 1o match the front of the skirt. The edging alone is continued around on the back of the skirt. Bometimes a #ringe.. L. does the Lord command, or say by Paul, in re- gard to the question under consideration? I. Cor., xi., 3: “But I would have you know that the heart of every man is Christ, and the heart of every woman is the man.” cre, then, we sce plainly, that if Christ, as the head of man, is higher hau the man, so the man, as the head of tlie woman, must be higher than the woman. Again in the seventh verse: ‘“He (the man)is the image and glury of God: but the woman is the glory of man.’ Here again we sce that the ~ inferor position 15 assigned tu the woman, inwsmuchas the glory of Godis higher than that of man. Paul gives for this the following reasons, in the cightli verse : “For the man s not of the woran, Lut the woman of man.” Paul evidently means that the man was created by God aud for Gud. aud in the image of Gud, but the woman was created of man and i for man, and fn the image of man, for he saith in the next clsuse, * Neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man.” Again in 1 Tim., 11-12: * Bat I suffer over the man.” This would be downright iu- Jjustice and injury to the man, if woman was the supcrior in iotellect, Paul’s reason for this command is contained in the next verse, where he gaith: “For Adam was first formed and then Eve, and Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the trans- geession.” Here we have not only tbe plain reputation, of what had been advanced on the other side, but also the statement that Eve was the one who had the weaker intellect, be- cause she was deceived by specions argutent and false appearance, while Adam was not, s0 that the sin of transgression belonged to the woman alone, while to Adam belonged the sin of weakuess, a:ting contrary to his conviction not a woman to teach nor to nsurp authority. this Paul’s statement exactly agrees. Inthe 20th verse we again read, ““that for Adam there Was not fouud a helpmeet.” This agrees per- fectly with the former showing in both cases, that as yet no woman had been made, bat that the man was alone. The mention in the first chapter of male and fewale in concection with the singular, man, the same as in the fifth chap- ter where theman, called male and female, is called Adam, has reference to a dcep and mys- terious, yet beautiful truth, which though inti- mately connected with this subject, is yet too extended and intricate to enter upon here. We find ut the end of the second chapter the record of the especial creation of the woman from man, confirming in every particular the statement made by the Apostle Paul, that man was first formed, and afterwards the woman. It is also generally believed that the command of the subjection of the woman to nan had ref- ercnce only to the time before the temptation of Eve by the serpent, but that the preaching of the Gospel, or being within the church, can- celed the command, and made the woman the equal of man. Thia is entirely contradicted by the facts. The command of Paul, in the name of the Lord Jesus Clrist, it will be remembered, was to believers in the Lord only,—to those who were in the Church, and who, therefore, were believers. His command would not have been worth_the paper it was written upon if it had been directed to those. without, because he had 1o authority over them, for they did not believe in, nor acknowledge, the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hé was not their Lord. The command of God in the third chapter of Gen- esis, addressed to the woman, was after the preaching of the Gospel, and in consequence of her lmviufi usurped the reins of government before and during the traosgression, showing plainly that she, the represcntative of the moral and sensitive part in man, had taken upon herself the rule swhich God had delegated to man at bis creation, and which he had criminally allowed ber to usurp. This is evident, both from the bold and independent plunge into evil by Eve, and from his very tame submission, contrary to his convictions. ~Adam at this ‘stage evidently deserved to be ruled over, probaoly having sold his patrimony for a sluggish peace. One more: When God, in the twenty-sixth verse of the first chapter, said: “Let us make man in ourimage, atter our likeness, and let him have dominion,” etc., or rule, he delegated that power to man” only, in the singular, and not to *“ men,” in the plural; besides the woman did not then cxist. Now, God must bave gone entircly from Bis word, or go from it in the futare, if He ever has or ever shall delegate this power to the woman, or even to make both equal participants, which to me does uot seem very probable. ' But I fear that I have already trespassed on four space, wherefore Ishall conclude with a ew words more, and leave more to some other time, if it should be waunted. It scems to me, from these few and necessarily imperiect and simple quotations, that it is not difticult to see on which side, probably, the victory will be. | But supposing that our fair antagouists, as a. sex, should succeed in their designs, contrary to usture, history, and revelation,—as sometimes ‘wrong does triumph over right for a time, aud for especial providential purposes,—can they hope for any real and lasting happiness and any solid advautages while they stand opposed to God's will, and are fighting against His especial command! To believe so would argue that God does not regard our best interests when He does command us anything, and that submission and faithful ovedience will not prove our best wis- dom in the end. H. St WOMAN AS A POLITIC AL PURIFIER. 7o the Editor of The Tridune. A leading article in THB SuNDAY TRIBUSE of Sept. 3 strikes the very core of the woman question. The new departure in method of treatment is most welcome. There has been too much vehement declamation on one side, too much sneering raillery on the other. Itis best to discuss these things calmly and kindly, and this Tue TRIBUNE bas done. I would like to add a few thoughts, and throw my feather’s ‘weight upon the same side of the scale. Ispeak as a woman, and upou the side where women usually keep silent. It is the other side that -does most ot the talking. Our restless sisters agitate, while we mostly keep quict; lence it goes out that all woman- kind are sighing and struggling after political power and political houors. But this is by no means true. There are many, very many, cultivated and intelligent women who deserve the epithet *‘strongz-minded” in 1ts truest sense, and who yet have no desire for gulizim] warfare. They are wmi"F to leave the lood, and sweat, and slaughter of the fight to the men folks, and the laurcls of victory as well. In the meantime, they are neither ig- norant nor indifferent as to the affairs of the nation. They are better posted than many who make more noise; and how far their infiuence over husbands, brotbers, lovers, and iriends may operate in restrainiug the tide of corrup- tion, no_one koows. Silent causes work un- seen, and po man measures their cffects; yet they exist, all the same. Once put these cul- tivated, womanly women in the field, and their silent, persuasive, softening influence is gone. We shall sce them transtormed into combatants heated with passionate conflict, giving and tak- ing blows, quenching conscience, and pulling wires, with the rest. As TEE TRIBUNE has suid, “ 1t would be only human nature in politics.” ‘We women have our share of innate depravi- ty,—our tendency to evil,—and more than our share of susceptibility; why should we desire to rush into new temptations? I mean no im- putation against my sex when I say that, in- stead of 2 general purification, new ele- ments of ~corruption would be in- troduced into politics, new plans of Dbribery, & new and more secret system of wire- pulling, whileall the uld would remain. While 1 apprehend all this, I am not prepared to agree with Tae TRIBUNE that woman's moral sense is weaker, or less discriminating than that of man. Some yomen are morally weak, some are strong. The average woman and the aver- age man stand, I think, on about the same plan But, if wowun cah rush into politics and escape corruption, she must be not only equal to man in moral strength, she must go beyond him, for it is certain that he seldom comes off un- scathed, . - An incorruptible politician is a rara avis, whom his companions are ready to fall upon and devour. It is neither convenient nor agrec- able, when a cabal of men are leagued for plun- der, to find one of their colleagues to e over- pure; it makes it dangerous for them. So, un- less be can be in some way seduced, he is apt to find, after a bard struggle, that political do- capitation is the surest reward of integrity. Ten to one be yields to the pressure in order to save his head. Would a woman in the same strait do better? A few would, many more would not. Iam compelled to believe—antl I still mean no detraction—that the prevailing cumxgtion would bear more heavily upon woman than upon man. If she is nut morally weaker, she Is, moraily as well as physically, more delicate. The finer and fairer 4 thivg is, the more readily is it soiled and smirched. Alas for ber fair white robes of purity, when they shall go trailing through the mire of political sloughs? There is still another powerful consideration which should cause us to hesitate, even werce every gate thrown open. Everysensitive woman shrinks {rom contact with the breath of slander. She strives to shun every appearance .of evil, lest Ler good beevil-spoken of. Now, suppose awoman to be up for office, and taking the brunt of & campaizn fight. She has party an- tagonists,~cruel, ruthless enemies, who are sure to show no favor, and with whotn all is fair in politics. All she' has ever done, or nas pot dome, will be brought up and flouted in her face. All manner of evil will be said of her, and, if pot a word is true, she will be hurt and wounded all the same. Ac- cusations which graze a man’s reputation but lightly, and which he may suon outgrow, leave upon ber a lasting scar which long years cennot etface. . That woman, shoula she be permitted to run for office, must expect end endure suca treatment, is not only probable, but certain. Who is willing toincir{t? We whoare con- servative on this question are fuin to pray, ;Stqvc’us from these great and impending calat® ies! While I hope still to see the women of our land, cither with or against their will, kept out of the political arena, I would urge upon all true men tfier[flrgm the duties of 31.!10!1!. Our politics nced purifying, if anything under heaven needs it. Women caniot do it, but strong, Wise. earnest men can, if there are only cnough of them. Somebody must govern, if we are to havea Government. Who it shall be that governs is for the people to decide. Hence or as cancidates, Go ahead, and keep your hands vlean. Let struight, square deaiing in politics become the rule, rather than the persecuted ex- ception. Let it once get to be the fashion, and we shall be & happy country. ELLzx P. AvrzrroN.

Corn Is the Chief Exception—The Stook Materially Reduced. What Grain Warehouses Shall Be Deemed Regular. FINANCIAL. There was no special activity in the loan market, althongh the banks experienced the nsual Saturday increase of counter transactions. Diecount lines are slowly increasing with the develupment of fall trade, and there is a good prospect for the profita- ble employment of the funds that have been accu- mulating during the summer. Applications from the interior for rediscounts are numerous, as they are ordinarily at this time of the year. Asfar as can be judged from the financial articles of the Eastern pavers there is the same revival there as here in trade and finance. Business there is heiped by-the crowd of visitors to the Centennial, and the same tide will be felt here on its return. Bat there is a deeper spring than this in the recovery of business now manifestly begun. The period of three years of invalidism that generally followsa panic has at last closed, and **years of plenty” are now before us. Collections in the interior are re- ported as averaging fuir, despite the bad weather. The supply of mercantile and miscellaneous paper is somewhat larger than it has been, but there is not yet an active demand for loans. TRates of discount are 8@10 per cent to regular costomers. Rates to outside parties and on the street are 5 per cent and upwards for choice call and short-time loans. New York exchange was sold betweon banks at 50@60c per $1,000 discount. ‘The movement of currency to the country is lessening.

The reply is that the wheat is too high. ‘The Board of Trade Committee on Warehonses paid a visit Saturdsy to the Nutt Elevator, for the purpose of ascertaining the condition of the wheat there. They will probably report Monday. Other houses may also be visited. A petition to the Board of Directors of the Doard of Trade was circulated on 'Change Saturday, and received numerous signatures. The petition asks attention to the following points, suggested as necessary to the welfare of the grain trade: That no receipts for grain be recognized by the Board of Trade es regular, for delivery on con- tracts, unless— 1. They be issued by parties of well-reputed integrity, and of thoroughly-established financial credit. 2. That the elevators can be easily approachedby vesels of ordinary draft, and can load cars during rainy weather. 3, That all grain cleaned in this city be placed in special bins, and not recognized as regular. These requirements would seem to be all fair enough. Atthesame time there are arguments adduced against the proposal, which will probably be considered when the matter comes before the Board. Itisclaimed that the first two require- ments are aimed at a conple of houses which conld not be specified more closely by naming them. The trade has, however, the right to decide the limitations of responsibility and convenience un- der which it will accept paper purporting to represent grain, and it onght to take immediate ac- tion in reference to cleaned and doctored grain, which is a nuisance in the trade, and a vile sore upon it. Our wheat market has been depressed for months by the certainty that contracts would be filled aa nearly as possible with wheat which is not now considered regular; and no injustice would be done to anybody by requiring cleaned wheat to be sold on its own merits for what it is worth. THE MARKET3. The leading produce markets were rather slower than usual on Saturday, and most of them were tame and easier, —the leading cxceptions being corn and flour. The weather was fine, and generally regarded as more settled, which indicated larger receipts both of hogs and breadstaffs. This fact tended to depress prices, and to make buyers nold back for a farther decline. There was a fairly satisfactory movement in do- mestlc dry goods, and & firm and healthy market was again experienced. Within the past two or three days there has been 2 noticeable increase in the attendance of buyers, and our jobbers look for a briek trade during the ensuing week. Groce- ries also were in 1mproved demand, and prices of some of the leading lines—notably coffees, sirups, molasees, and teas—show a hardening tendency. In the dried-fruit marketlittle change was observa- ble. The supply of the 1875 crop is nearly ex- haunsted, and the new crop is not yet arriving in any considerable quantities. Fish were ordered ipments of provisions from this city for i periods neme ork. | Zard, | Hams.
