Mr. George arsiand, the Corresponding Secretary, wno bas just returned from Niagara Falls, stated this evening that the Committee on Statistics. popu- lay known as the “Twenty Million Commit- tee,” from the fuct that the gentlemen cumpos- ing itare worth that amount of money in the gate, ure busily engaged preparing a re- port on the lake commerce and the progress of the through. t P{SINESS BETWEEN THE WEST AND EUROPE. ‘They bare alreudy consulted between thirty and forty of the representative men of Buffalo, who will be preseut at the convention, as to the yeading of the report, which will in the main part embody their views.

THE USUAL SATURDAY QUIETNESS AT THE PRODUCE EXCHANGE. Special Duspatch to Tae Unicugy Tribune: New York, July %.—The markets here resumed their usual quiet appearance on Saturday, and the excitement and wide fiuctuanons of the past few days have sub- sided. The grain clique seem to be unde- cided and hesitating as totheir future opera- tions. The late boom dues not appear to have evabled them to unload either their * cash" or their “ long" options to the extent expected, and a reconstruction of their plans, or at least a reconsiderution thereof, is pussible. tis now tld positively by those ina position to known that, Armour was the unknown party ‘be- ied the “Cincinnati crowd.” and that he isstill “tong” of August wheat in Chicawo, and that he proposes to squeeze out the “shorts” in tat month befure it arrives.

THE CLIGUE IN OATS domped the price up 1% cents over the lowest Brice of yesterday this morning on the July op- fon, in’ whicn there is a short interest, and Wardwell looked a litde surprised at this sud- den turn.

CITIZEN. Bogus Cigars, ‘To the Editur of The Chicuyo Tribune, CHrcaGo, July 23.—1 am very glad tobear your paper bas taken action to stop this gross swindle in defrauding the people with these cigars. Less thun fifteen days ago, as 1 was walking along Madison strevt, 1 was attracted by one of these uuctioneer’s voices, and went in to see What was sellm, There was a lot of cigars on the counter. I asked nim how tney wero sold. He suid they were only sold by the lot. LE mude a bid on tne jot, and they were knocked down tome. These cixars were pucked tifty in a box, whieh would be at the rate of $10 per 1.0). A mio wus stunting next to me ana was buymg almost every lot that was put up. As 1 com menced bidding be told me that he would not overbid me und T should not overbid Bim, After letting me get this, unother lot wus but up, and they were bid bizh cnougn I thuugnt. He asked me if } would take bulf, My answer was yes, and that way we kept on buying uatil [ thougnt T bad enough cigars. By this time my deposit wus $22. Ftold them Y wisbed to taxe thuse cigars along now, and asked that they be wrapped up. They were not wrapved up, but 2 bill shoved under my nose. I forget what the exact dimount was, but remember it wus over 24W. If they would have given me those cigars by the fot my bill would have been about $27. They tried to press some more money out of ‘me,—that [must tuke ult these curs, as I had no business to bid on cigars when [ bad n0 Of course 1 was satistied to walk off with GW cigars.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Cricaco. July 23.—Every man, woman, and child in Chicago may justly claim a materiul in- terest in Micnigan aveuue boulevard. Created out of the General Fund, its authors have a moral right to restrain any perversion of their obvious purpose. It was not intended merely to construct a smooth aud uniform roadway, with continuous uniform foot-pavements, wiih inter~ yening grass-plots and shade-trees; it was not because Michigan avenue better admitted of the se things chat it was selected tor the boule- vard,—the chxracter of the existing buddings along that thoroughfare. and the prospective cotructer of its future structures, de- termined the choice. In the course of time, naturally, the buildings along Michigan ivan avenue boulevard will be replaced by novle structures, until at last its entire leagth takeu ag u whole would present one of the grandest, most impressive architectural displays of aa- ctent or modern days. With thisend in view the citizens of Chicago bave contributed to create Michigan avenue boulevard: but it is the thoughtless purpose to erect a buspital at one of ite prominent points.. A bospital is a com- mendabie tustitution, but it cannot fail to render at leastan entire block at either sido forever the site of interior buildings, wretched tenements. saloons, and stabies, thus marring what would otherwise be a continuous scene of beauty and mugniticence. - There isadeep and {neradicable prejudice against a res.dence in the neigbborbood of . bos- pitals. It may not be well founded, but it can- not beovercome. With this fact known, tho whole city should rise up in protest before the gboulish fangs of such au offensive institution fave been fastened with deadening eifect upun one of Our greatest and fairest works of art.
