Justin McCarthy’s Lecture on Chicago
and the Prairie Country.”
From Our Own Correspondent.
London, Nov. 14.
A meeting was held in this city last night
•of a singularly interesting character. A
word lirst on the occasion.
THE ANGLO-AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.
Previously to the agreement between the
Hritish and the American Governments for
the Alabama arbitration, we had in London
an organized body of gentlemen, in whose re
gard America is next to their own country,
and who, under the name of the Anglo-Amer
ican Associat ion, invited the aid of American
residents hero in the work of enlightening
the public opinion of the respective coun
tries on important matters of discussion.
TVe met in solemn conclave; we wrote es
says; we held animated controversies:
we opened correspondence with
American authorities, and at length wo re
solved to see if wc could not improve upon
tho government suggestions, whether Eng
lish or American, as to tho fishery and the
Alabama disputes. A committee was ap
pointed to draw up a scheme, and, as we
separated on the day the provision was
made, we felt we were doing a work which
jiootenry would admire, though contempora
ries wove indifferent. Alas for the varying of
human ambition I The long and arduous
labors of our representatives the painful
compromises as to phrases; the delicate study
of the national sensitiveness the fine avoid
ance of whatever could touch a wound,—all,
vin wc ‘f, e doomed to be of no avail.
hen the grand result was attained,
ana wc were convened to hear the scheme
which was to be offered to tho two conti
nents, and at which an envious world would
gaze, we suddenly heard that the adminis
tration had taken the questions into their
own hands, and that a preliminary under
standing between the principals had*been al
ready arrived at. We looked gloomily into
each otheris faccs. It was not for us. *then,
lo immortalize ourselves by bringing the two
peoples together and joining their hands. The
subject had not even been referred to us. by
courtesy. However, we acted our part with
dignity. Our words were words of congrat
ulation, whatever tho disappointment in our
hearts. We hoped for the best; wc shook
our heads; we were facetious in a certain
unpleasant way, and then wo broke up.
The association, after this, was invited to
•unite* Witxi the New Club. Most of its mem
*ors assented, and the amalgamated lodge,
under the name of the Savile Club, is now
located in a handsome house, situated in the
street which gives the club its name.
SYMPATHY or BRITISH AUTHORS WITH
Chicago,
Rut the Anglo-American Association lias
also a separate existence. I was not aware
of it until a day or two ago, when I received
the following circular:
Dear Sin: I Leg to inform you that, on Mon
•day evenlngnext, the 13th inst, Justin McCarthy,
Esq., will deliver a lecture in the above rooms
(Social Science Association), before the members
and friends of this society, on Chicago and the
Prairie Country.” Thomas Hughes, Esq.. M.P.,
-she President of tho association, will take tho
chair at s o’clock precisely. The attendance of
ladies is particularly invited. It is Loped that as
many of the members of the association as may
be in town will endeavor to be present on the oc
casion, and that they will bring with them any
friends who are interested in the subject. I re
main, dear sir, etc.
Apart from the topic, I would always go a
long ways to hear Mr. Justin McCarthy, ami
1 would put down many a favorite volume
:t'3 read one of his hooks. Mr. McCarthy
Tin ires the good qualities of the American
tmdofthe English journalist. Ho is pictur
esque in stvle; is not afraid of enthusiasm
(the bugbear of English writers); and has
made abundant use of his keen intellectual
powers during extensive tours of travel.
He is a capital lecturer, as many of your
jeaflers may know: ho writes a good
'novel; and his leading articles arc
among the best in thcLondon press. The at
tendance at last night’s discourse was num
erous, and what tho newspapers here call
bightv ctdect.” The lecture was anextem
•nortmeous kind of talk, descriptive of the
surfaces of things in the forest country and
In Chicago, and dwelling on the peculiar and
»d"antic‘ditiicultlcs which have had to be en
countered by American civilization: the
natural difficulties and dangers, and the or
ganic greatness of race, and for which no
counsel or precedent could be found m the
<conntrics of the Old World. We listened
—with glowing interest, ami warmly cheer
-eu .the mauv forcible and poetic passages,
rj vand the elevated sentimeit.l
night’s proeeedngs were inter
testing to Chicago readers fo.'thls cause. Mr.
Hughes, M. P.. who is President of
Hie association, iu an open!) g speech dcvel
oped a plan for making good to some extent
nt all events, the losses mstaiued by the
great free library of Chicajp. lie proposed
that English livingauthors.honld be invited
to contribute the books tbej had written, and
also that the members of tie association and
ethers should be asked to nake guts of clas
sical and other works. He has had a corre
spondence with several o! onr most distin
guished men. particularly'.vith Mr, Thomas
Carlvle, Mr. Disraeli, tho Duke of Argyll,
and Mr. W. E. Forster. Mi Carlyle wrote an
eminently characteristic Ltter, in which,
after stating various objecions, he wound
up by promising that ‘a copy of bis
books should not bv any mans bo wanting.”
.Mr. Disraeli’s letter was .omewhat ungra
cious. Ho made a pleasa;t remark to the
effect Hint, “.So far as English authors are
•concerned, Chicago has alrady a free library
which no conflagration an destroy;” aim
that “hefeared that the pople there would
smile at onr sending books which they can
Lave for nothing, withoit us.” Mr. For
ster, I thought, was not *oo genial. He
said he would give a copy of Dr. Arnold’s
works, although it wouldbe a considerable
addition to his previous donation of £-"vQ.
On the other hand, the -estof the replies
were eagerly in tho atiimativc. Mr. Tom
Taylor offered a complete of tho volumes
of Jhi with autograph of many of the
writers; and great publisllng firms, like Mr.
Murray, Messrs. Smith d Elder, and Mr.
Macmillan, expressed tb-.ir willingness to
.aid the movement. It was resolved that
the Anglo-American Association should take
up the matter; and yoi will soon hear, I
think, of valuable donatbns. Of course, you
.must expect the chaff with the wheat. As
the news gets abroad, tho class of
amateur authors will flock in with their
works. I should not bt surprised to see a
portentous collection >f “modern poetry”
placed at your disposal. Unappreciated .By
ions, whose works erjoy inglorious case
upon their authors’ ghelros. will express
their “consent” to d>wer the city of the
West with their immortal productions; and
the one-idea men, the crotchetty, the prose
lytizing, and the mad, will forward their
books for transmission. I won’t say that, if
these were all forwarded to Chicago, the
effect would be as bad as another tire: but,
if Ibev had all to be read, I don’t know
that the expression is extravagant. Mean
while, accept tbe wholi circumstances as af
fording another illustiatiou of the astonish
ing hold—almost romantic, indeed—which
Chicago has gained upon all orders of mind,
even upon English authora, who usually re
gard the parting with one of their books as
they would the loss of their life-blood.
A Woman’* Wail.
To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune:
Sir: I will begin by saying I am a woman, and
I feel like a fierce one this moraine; and, if yon
will allow my indignation an outlet in your pro
cions columns, I will proceed to state the reasons
for this outburst.
I have Just returned from my marketing, and,
with present fashions, I am almost ready to vow
not to stir outside the house again this winter. I
came in with wet, dra aided skirts, and. as a result
of wetsklrts, weiankles, soiledhose, and a general
state of filthiness: when, an hour before, every
thing was levelv,” but the skirts hung low; and
ail because there happened to be an inch of snow
on the ground.
If women want to show good sense, why don t
they show wisdom with it, and instead of allowing
tbeir skins iust to touch, or merely escape, the
Ground, whV not have them above the boot-tops,
or half-way'betwecnthe boot and kneel Would
tli'-re be anything immodest or unladylike in such
a costume! Certainly not. How women. In the
beginning, ever came to adopt such a useless, in
convenient. heathenish dress, I am at a loss to
explain. Is it graceful lis it becoming 1 If any
think f-o it is because custom and long usage
have made it so familiar that any radical change
si-crus impossible. __
I have even thought there was some providence
in the late terrible lire, that turned so many poor,
weak women into the street, to llee for their
lives —a providence that it came in the night, and
cave’ them no time to -KCtjth themselves clown
Cvith fklrtß. hustles. ponlers, ovcr-dresSM, fluted,

many who saved themselves bccause them limbs
siud bodies were free to battle with the surging,
tumultuous throng, would have sunk exhausted,

Articles without aumV.ec have appeared m our
<lailv ji;»per« denouncing women s inappropriate

edge that T am ono of Uie victims of this absurd
ity; and, being a sensitive, retir

courage to make myeelf so conspicuous as a re

And again; what a comfort it would be, once in

The Result of the Election—The New Stale
Officer* and legislature— Important
Work for (be Winter—Candidate* for
Eesislutive Offices—Relief of Fire Suf
ferers.
From Onr Special Correspondent.
Madison*, W'is., November iSTIi
Knowing that there must bo a great pres
sure of city matters on your columns since
the great fire which laid waste your city, I
have refrained from obtruding anythingfrom
this capital, whence, by tho way, too soon
and too quietlj* to receive formal mention
and thanks, tho day after tho lire a large
amonnt of excellent food, ready for the
mouths of hungry fire-sufferers, was sent,
accompanied by men who saw that it reached
those needing it without delay.
The official canvass of votes at tho last
election shows an average majority of a lit
tle oyer 10.000 for the Republican candidates
for State offices, with two-thirds of each
branch of the Legislature Republican; and
gives assurance that "Wisconsin a Hairs are to
be administered for two years more by Re
publicans. That General Washburn's ma
jority is less than that of some of his asso
ciates in tho ticket was due not to any pop
ularity of his opponent Judge Doolittle, nor
to any distrusts of ins Republicanism- or
doubt that he would make a good Governor;
hut because of the dissatisfaction of
some Republicans with the efforts made
m high quarters to secure his nomination,
instead of that of another candidate whom
they preferred; aud which was studiously
fomented by much groundless hue aud cry
about “office holders’ dictation.” A special
point was made against Mr. Pettitt, the
Republican candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, by temperance men, because ho fol
lowed what they considertho evil occupation
ofnmalster; but the few hundreds of votes
this cost were iu great part made up by
those who thought malt, and the resulting
lager, good, nothad. Major Baetz, the can
didate for Treasurer, popular everywhere,
secured a good many votes from his Demo
craticGenuau fellow-countrymen, aud so has
the largest majority of any one on the State
ticket. Nearly all tho candidates of both
parties received such home indorsement as
showed that they were most esteemed where
best known. No one doubts that the offi
cers elected will discharge their respective
duties in a manner highly satisfactory to the
people and creditable to tho State. General
Washburn, in particular, from his known in
dependence of character, and proved admin
istrative ability, it is confidently believed
will make one of tho Tory best Governors
Wisconsin has ever had. ‘He has rented the
elegant mansion of the late Congressman 15.
F. Hopkins, proposes to furnish it handsome
ly, aud his unmarried daughter will be
mistress of tho household, her mother
having for many years been an
inmate of an Eastern insane asylum,—an
affliction which, in the midst of his honors
and prosperity, leaves an aching void iu the
General's heart and a cloud in his otherwise
bright sky. The same hospitality will doubt
less characterize the Executive Mansion ns
during the administration of Governor Fair
child, to the popularity of which his most
lovely and estimable wife has largely con
tributed.
Tho Legislature is much more strongly Re
publican than was anticipated from an ap
portionment much less favorable politically
tbau might have been made, aud incorporat
ing iu the same districts, counties, and
towns unused to acting together, hav
ing little In common, and betwecu whom
jealousies were inevitable. A great many in
dependent candidates were run against
regular nominees, and, as the result, some
fifteen or twenty Assembly districts have
Representatives of different politics from the
the majority of the voters thereof. Gains of
Democratic districts counterbalance losses of
Republican ones, so that the relative propor
tion of parties in the Legislature will be
about the same as of tbe districts. Classify
ing independents according to their political
antecedents, the Senate has 23 Republicans,
10 Democrats; the Assembly, 00 Republicans,
40 Democrats. The fact that but four of the
sixteen Senators elected this fall and holding
over are Democrats, and that a majority of
the Senate and Assembly districts to elect
next fall are Republican, assures the election
in 1573 of a Republican United States Sena
for—Timothy 0. Howe, again, without op
position, according to present appearances,
unless he should bo coiled to some other posh
An unusual number of first-class men
have been elected, Milwaukee especially
having chosen the best and most intlnential
delegation for years. Forth© important work
of the winter, the best talent and judgment,
with sincere devotion to the public good, are
needed. An amendment to our State Consti
tution, ratified by two Legislatures, and now
by a very largo majority of the people, pro
hibits special legislation, and requires gen
eral laws to be provided for changing the
names of persons or constituting heirs at
law; laying out or altering ordinary high
ways; authorizing ferries across streams
wholly within the .State; authorizing the
sale ormortgageof property of minors; locat
ing or changing county-seats; assessing,
collecting, or extending the time for taxes
granting corporate powers or privileges ex
cept to cities: authoriziugthe apportionment
of any part of the school-fund: incorporating
any town or village, or amen ding the charter
thereof. Devising general laws to meet all
cases is a work of much difficulty, and, in
addition to other matters, will cause a pro- I
tracted meeting of the Legislature, and one j
of unusual importance, though the result of 1
the amendment will doubtless bo to shorten
sessions and diminish expense hereafter.
The famous Chippewa Dells Improvement 1
question, which caused so much excitement
last winter, will be again brought forward,
with the difficulty ot its satisfactory solu
tion increased by the necessity, as is claimed,
under the restrictive constitutional amend
ment, of providing for it by a general law
for such corporations as are proposed for this
purpose. What might be well enough as re
gards the improvement of one stream, might
be injudicious as to another.
The press of the State are already present
ing candidates for the Legislative of
fices. For the elective offices of
the Senate, J. IT. Waggoner, of
the Richland County JRepullivan,
Assistant Clerk last winter, has been most
prominently named for Chief Clerk; and W.
D. Hoard, of the Jefferson Comity Union, ion
Sergeant-at-Arms—both worthy aud well
qualified. For Speaker of the Assembly,
Daniel Hall, of Jefferson County; Geo. G.
.Swain, of Sauk; Dr. D. C. Ayres, of Brown
H. D. Barron, of Polk; Winfield Smith, of
Milwaukee, and Alexander Graham, of Rock,
have been named; and each has some special
claims find qualifications. Messrs. Barrou
and Smith, it is stated, prefer a place on the
floor and positions on committees. Mr.
Swain, a good member of tho two last Legis
latures, showed excellent qualifications for
a presiding officer, and quite anticipated an
election. Daniel Hall, of Watertown,
was, however, first brought out after
election, by the Milwaukee Scni'nul,
and, from the fact that he has been
the third time elected from a strongly-Demo
cratic district, his high rank among the mem
bers of the Legislatures, and his rare fitness
in all respects for Speaker, takes precedence
over all other candidates. There seems to bo
no question of tho re-election of tho Hon. E.
W. Young, for so many years tho perfectly
satisfactory Chief Clerk, and of S. S. Fifiola,
of tho Polk County Press, who last winter
was an entire success as Seargeant-at-Arms.
Besides ordinary business, tho Legislature
will be calledon to do something iu regard to
tho relief of Wisconsin liro-sufierers. Our
Governor promptly took tho responsibility
of such action as tbo emergency de
manded, without stickling about the lack
of legal provision for each an unparalleled
state of affairs, or incurring unnecessary ex
pense to secure formal authority for what
needed to be done to which all tho people
said Amen, and, by their Representatives,
will fully legalize his proceedings iu afford
ing relief. With tho liberal contributions
in’inouev and supplies, amounting to ball a
miirmi dollars at least, those who suffered
by the great fires which swept woods, farms,
hamlets, and villages, as in Chicago they did
the city, will he made comfortable for the
winter, and iu the spring the survivors will
be given means to start iu life anew.
A Contractor in Reply to the Bricklayers*
To the Editor of The Chicago Triimne
Sin; You will oblige byjiuserting a lines, in
answer to a communication of Messrs Courtney
and Moore, committee of bricklayers. They
must have been under peculiar influences whoa
they made such a sweeping charge against the
contractors of this city, i, for one, deny the
charge of making two and three dollars on oi
each'"man, outside of my percentage; and no
ui»« knows this better than J. B. Moore, tuo
writer of that communication, who is afraid or
giviug his full signature for fear of being discov
ered. lie was my foreman on South Water street,
and got express orders to take none but first
class workmen.
I know that there 1s a large number of incom
petent contractors, and property-owners who are
employing their own workmen,—tailors, shoe
makers. laborers, &c., in brick-laying, who can
not tell the aiffercnco between them and good
workmen.
l-et Mr. Moore qualify that assertion, and not
include all contractors in the same category, if
he wauls things put in the right light. Yours
truly, e, R. Howard.

Friday Evening, Dec. l.
Finances both local and general, remain quiet,
and the abundance of money, so unusual at this
season of the vear, continues unabated. Pork
packing operations here are heavy, and consti
tute the principal avenue for the employment of
bank funds at present. There is a heavy move
ment of both grain and hogs from the country to
this city, but, somehow, the market
ing of these seems to require Ices
currency in the country than usual,
and the banks are sending out very little.
Throughout tho West, exchange is against New
York, and bills on that city are sold in Cincinnati
and Bt. Louis at from 750 to $1.25 per 91.000 oil’.
In this market New York funds are sold be
tween banks at 60c per SI,OOO off. At the counter
bankers sell at par and buy at 1-10 discount.

The New Yo k Bulletin referring lo the depres
sion of Northwest stock la consequence of the de
claration of no dividend on tho common and on
ly 7 per cent on the preferred, which has hereto
fore paid 10, says:
Ono obstacle to a great decline is the large
amount of “puts” which have been sold tho hist
month. It is estimated that a single speculator
has “puts” outstanding on over 100,000 shares,
although, many of them, which were for thirty
days h&vo expired.
The enormous Increase of floating capital lu the
United States during the last eleven years is
shown by the Increase in the amount of stocks
held, which arc estimated for 18G0 and 1871 respec
tively, as follows:
Stale slocks
Bank stocks
Railroad stocks and bonds...
United States governments.
Total.
State stocks.
Bank stocks
Railroad stocks and bonds.
Manufacturing and miscellaneous.
United States governments
Total.
The above docs not represent the total amount
of American stocks, as a largo proportion of the
government, State, and railway bonds are held in
Europe. Of the stocks and bonds held in this
country, probably four-tlfths aro only for tempo
rary investment. Such stocks are less perma
nently beld here than in Europe, because the
average prollts of active capital are larger than
the average interest paid by the securities men
tioned. These latter, therefore, furnish a reservoir
for capital that is waiting for more active
employment. Government and State bonds aud
railway stocks are always salable. A pressure
lor ready money in this country, which would
cause any considerable decline in the average
prices of such investments, would send a large
proportion of them to Europe, and so release a
large amount of ready capital. The increased
amount of this class of temporary Investments,
therefore, shows the increasedabillcy to meet any
sudden demand for ready money, such as the de
mand to pay insurance losses by the tire in this
city.
The following statistics of the import trade at
New York (which is a fair index for that of tho
whole country) show that it is increasing with
wonderful rapidity, tho aggregate value of im

A Washington despatch- to the New ork Jour
val of Commerce, referring to the government
tax of 5 per cent, levied on the scrip dividend ®f
the New York Central Railroad, whlcli has been
the subject of so much diaeussion, says:
The tax as estimated by the Assessor amounted to
considerably over $1,000,000. Mr. I’leasoutou, as Com
uilssloner. sustained the action of the Assessor. The
Secretary of the Tre:isuiy, on petition of lUo railroad
company appealing to him, gave as his belief that the
rhslit to appeal to him existed in the case, but declined
to reverse thefCommissioner'a decision. Ho returned
the papers to Mr. Pleasonton with tho suggestion
that UlO tax should only be assessed for that portion
of the divided which represented undistributed
earnings accruing since the passage of the act impov-
Ing tax on incomes, profits, etc. Mr. Ileasontou was
soon thereafter suspended, and Mr. Douglass, the pres
ent Acting Commissioner, was appointed to perform
the duties of tho office. Mr. Douglass ordered the
company to make a return on tho basis Indicated bj
the Secretary. In two or three weeks the return is to
be presented, and the tax to be paid, instead of more
than $1,000,000. will amount to something over sIO-j.OW
and leas than SIIO,OOO.

Withdrawn during two days for city consump
tion 1,076bu wheat, 3,069 hu corn, 2,010. bu oats,
379 bu rye, GOT bu barley.
Tho following grain has been inspected into
up to 10 o’clock thismorning: 89cars wheat,
4£4 cars corn, 81 cars oats, 10 cars rye, 18 cars
barley. Total, 652 cars, or 271.000 bu.
There was more doing on’Change to-day, and
tho leading markets tended to a higher range of
prices, with more buyers. Tho receipts were
rather free, and tho reported shipments quite
light. Probably the last cargo of grain that will
go out by lake this season was loaded to-day, and
the prospects for extensive rail shipments are not
regarded ns very promising, while the receipts
will undoubtedly bo large this winter, Tho host
feature of the occasion is that wo commence
tho season with light stocks.
Hlghwines were quiet and firm at Wednesday’s
quotations. Sales were reported of 150 brls at 89e,
and 150 brls at 83 l-2c. Holders generally asked
Lake freights were very quiet. Only one sail
charter was effected—for corn to Buflalo at lie,
and one propeller for corn on through rate to
Portland.
Dressed hogs were in better demand for ship
ment, and 12 i-2e bettor, in sympathy with the
improvement in live hogs. A total of 133 head
was sold, mostly at $4.621-2 for good averages of
250a300 lbs. A few sold early at $4.55, and one or
two choice lots brought $4.75.
Provisions were higher, but weak, with fair ac
tivity. The receipts of hogs continuing less than
was anticipated, caused a decided advance this
morning in the price of tho live animal, and the
market lorprouuctsoponed out strong at an ad
vance of 25a37 l-2c on pork, and l-8c on lard, with
a decided firmer feeling in meats. But before
long the receivers of pork on December options
showed an anxiety to realize, and pressed tho
market so much that pork fell off 20a25c per brl,
and ruled weak. Lard weakened in sympathy,
and meals were quiet, being held higher, while
there were few buyers at tho advance; or even at
any price, except for hams. Tho market closed
somewhat firmer at the following range of quo

Wheat was irregular at about the same average
of prices as during the regular session of Wednes
day. The market opened nominally at the ad
THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1871
vance reached late Wednesday afternoon, on the
receipt of belligerent advices, but soon lost this
element of strength when the early telegram from
Liverpool quoted that market 2d per lOOlbslower.
The market fell off to' nothing about
noon, but recovered somewhat when Now York
was reported strong, though the demand
hero was a quiet one thenceforward. The busi
ness was all speculative, and influenced entirely
by these reports, which, being contradictory,
were variously accepted. It is generally the case
that New York is firmer on a lower Liverpool, as
some buyers for export from the seaboard are al
most sure to fill in lest their orders should be
withdrawn. The deliveries of wheat on seller
December were loir in amount, bnt had been so
generally provided for that there was no pressure
to sell. Tho market for seller the month opened
at $1.19 1-2, fell to sl.lß 1-2. and advanced to
$1.191-2 at the close. Seller the lost half of tiua
month sold at $1.19 3-8a1.20 3*4, and seller January
at $1.20 3-4a1.2l 3-4—all closing at the outside. The

Com was strong and moderately active, at an
average advance of lo por bu, which was duo to
a firmer market in New York, caused by the clos
ing of tho Erie Canal. The results bore were
large enough, and there was no shipping demand,
but speculative dealers bought freely, as they
were generally inclined to think that the fact of a
large crop has been discounted a little too heavily.
Com at 410 is very cheap, »s compared, with
wheat at 119 and oats at 313-4 c. Hence they fill
ed lu freely on shorts, and a good many purcha
ses were mado on investment. Tho market for

Tho Alta California says of the wheat harvest
in that section:
When the present harvest came to market it
was generally admitted that the production had
been very short, and that a very considerable re
duction in the exportable surplus would necessa
rily present itself. This once admitted, it was a
mutter of course that the idea should be exagger
ated, and some persons went so far us to predict
a short homo supply. Nevertheless, the leading
grain house, with its greatopportunitles for form
ing a judgment by means of its affiliation
throughout the State, expressed in its annual cir
cular. under date of Juno 30,1971, the conviction
that there would be a surplus of 100,000 tons for
export, say 2,225,000 sacks.
“Up to this time events have more than justiiled
the entire soundness of those view's. The ijuan-
Uty already exported, less Oregon receipts, is
712.893 socks, and the quantity now In tho State,
by actual inspection, is ascertained to be as fol
lows
In city and interior warehouses, tons 141,000
Required for consumption.tons 37,500
Required for distilling 10,000
Required for seed 10.000
Net tons for sale Sl.ooo
“This, with the 33,000 tons exported, fully meets
the Juno estimates, and leaves a very considera
ble quantity yet to find market. Witu an ordi
nary winter, a very large production is likely to
result, as planting in many sections, even tho
summer fallows of tho Ban Joaquin, has made
good progress.

CATTLE—As was anticipated, tho continued
meagre receipts have had thccttect to strengthen
the ma-ket lor all grades, though aside from good
shipping beeves, ■which are a strong l-Sc higher,
no quotable advance has as yet taken place.
There -was no particular urgency In the demand
from any source, but the wants of shippers some*
what exceed the supply of well matured beeves,
and the competition proved sufficiently active to
enable holders to work up prices to the extent
noted above. With a single exception therdwere
no K-ally choice beeves on sale, so that it la Im
possible to say just how much. such have appre
ciated in value,but that they would commanaade*
cided advance on the prices current at the close of
waau was generally conceded. Afanoy drove,
embracing CO iicaii. was iml?l>eula W
tersoc, for which a buyer was found atse.i-l
The drove averaged 1,425 lbs, and was taken by
Kelson Morris for the New York market. Butch
ers were doing little, so that light as was the sup
ply of the descriptions of stock usually
sought after by this class of buyers, the de
mand was fully met and sales
dragged at Wednesday's prices, or at 82.00a2.25
for inferior mixed lots, and at $2.50a3.75 for me
dium to choice cows,and common to falrlahstcers
and fat oxen. Stock steers wore inquired for to
a limited extent at $2.25a2.50 for common, rough,
light and thin lots, and at $2.73a3.25 for good to
prime droves of from 200 to 1,050 lbs average.
The market closed quiet and firm.

There were no outside buyers, and, as the supply
uroved largely In excess of the wants of the local
trade, sales were slow, and prices shaded off fally

unsalable at any price, while the best were not
■wanted at over $4.25a4.C0. A good many remained

The following circular has been issued by the
Treasury Department:
To Collectors of Customs, Inspectors of Steam
Vessels, and others:
Section 47, of the act of Congress of February
°B,IBTI, relating to steam vessels, provides that
each und every coal boat, produce boat, canal
boat, oyster boat, raft, or other water craft,
navigating any bay, harbor, or river, by hand
power, horse-power, sal), or by tho current of
the river, when running in a fog, or thick
weather, or shall be anchored or moored in or
neat the channel or fairway of any bay,
harbor, or river, and not in any port,
shall sound a fog-horn, or equivalent
signal, at intervals of not more than two minutes,
which shall mate a sound equal to a steam whis
tle. In order to avoid con uslon and risk, and
also to insure uniform sound of fog signals on all
water craft, other than steam vessels, that may
Uo distinguished from steam whistles, tho de
partment designates tho “Anderson” and Van
Trump fog-horns as the standard instruments
for use on all water craft, except steam vessels,
under the requirements of the section of the law
abovo quoted—those instruments having received
the approval of the Board of Supervising Inspec
tors or steam vessels, and also of this deport
ment.
—Captain Orr, Marino Inspector, returned to
Buffalo from Long Point on Saturday. He re
ports that the Evergreen City has not gone to
pieces, but that she Is considerably* hogged, port
arch broken away from her side, shear plank on
port side gone, and quite full of sand. Her upper
works are badly broken up. She lays creened
over at an angle of abont 90 9 A channal will
have to be dredged to her before she can be got
off. The attempt will probably not be made this
fall. He reports the schooner Sherman near the
Point in apparent good condition; at least she
scems-to hold together, and when they left she
had righted up; masts all standing.
—The arrival of quite a number of vessels at the
Flats on Monday, some of which grounded, was
attended with more serious disaster than has yet
been noted. The schooner Fayette Brown, a
large three-and-after, was fouled by the schooner
Portland, damaging tho taffrail of the former be
sides other injuries more serious. She arrived at
Detroit in tho evening, and it was the intention
of her Captain to tow through to his destination.
Eric. The Portland's damage was to her head
gear. Tho schooner Hoboken bysome means lost
herjibboom. Others suffered more or less injury,
but no particulars have been received. The fleet
thus delayed were released Monday afternoon,
jiaselng Detroit in the evening.
—Tho schooner Ele Grande, Captain Ed. Col
lins, of Buffalo, master and owner, laden with
lumber for Erie, went ashore near the east end of
the peninsula at that port, on Monday morning
last. The mishap was occasioned by mistaking a
light on the hill oast of the harbor for the harbor
light. The vessel is uninsured, and so hard
aground that it is feared she cannot be rescued.
The orew were safely landed.
—lt is stated that the Chief Engineer recom
mends on appropriation of SIOO,OOO for the improv
ing of Chicago harbor during the coming season,
and $75,000 for a harbor of refuge at the mouth of

mee Bay, at Toledo. No further appropriations
are asked for Sandusky, Cleveland, and Ashta-
Imla.
—Tbo steamer Huron, while off Lexington,Fri
day morning, broke her cylinder and other parts
of her engine, and while disabled was mu into
by tho schooner Eliza Turner, in tow of tho tug
Kate Moffatt, receiving some injury on her port
side. The headgear of the schooner was carried
away. Tho Huron was takcu into St. Clair River
by the steamer Marino City.
—Tho Light House Board gives notice that the
light-station on South Manitou Island, Lake Mich
igan, has been Improved by the erection of a tow
er of the third clas.s from which a fixed white
light of the third order will be in future exhib
ited. The Illuminating apparatus is a lens of the
third order. Tho height from lake level to tho
focal plane is 104 feet, which corresponds to a
range of visibility of 17 1-2 statute miles.
—lt appears there was some difficulty In getting
a steam pump, and tbo tag did not succeed in
getting off yesterday to tho relief of tho schooner
Essex, ashore above Barcelona. It was finally
decided that Captain Orr should go up to her last
evening and sec what assistance was required,
Tho cause of her going ashore is unknown here.
—Buffalo Express, Xor. 28.
—Three schooners are bound from’ Chicago
down tho Illinois River to New Orleans, where
they will engage in the oyster business. One
went down last Saturday nndcrfull salt Another
came down this far on Sunday, but, meeting
strong head winds, was forced to lay over for
more favorable breezes. Tho other is expected
down soon. They all had a. laborious time getting
past tho Henry dam.— Peoria Democrat.
—A tow of vessels from the West arrived at St-
Clair Fiats on Tuesday, and, while being trans
ferred through tho old channel, a portion of them
ran hard aground. The schooners Fayette Brown
and CityofTawas are mentioned among those
thus delayed. A largo tug was at hand, and will,
doubtless, soon liberate them.
—No further intelligence regarding the crew of
tho 111-fated Jessie Anderson lias been received,
and It is now believed that they have all per
ished. Captain Ryan was about 20 years of ago,
and an estimable man. Ho leaves a young wife,
but no children.

the entrance to Toledo, laden with lumber. A
considerable portion of her cargo is being light
ened to enable her to pass through the blockade.
The Cause and Cure of Con*
sumption.
The primary cause of Consumption is derangement
of the digestive organs. This derangement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation. -By assimilation
I moan that process by which th 3 nutriment of the
food Is converted into blood, and tlicncc into tho solids
of the body. Persons with digestions thus impaired
having the slightest predisposition to pulmonary dis.
case, or If they take cold, will be very liable to have
Consumption of the Lungs in some of its forms; and I
hold that It will be Impossible to to cure any case of
Consumption without first restoring a good digestion
and healthy assimilation. The very first
thing to be done is to cleanse the stomach and bowels
from all diseased mucus and slime which are clogging
these organs so that they cannot perform their fane
lions, and then rouse up and restore the liver to a
.healthy action. For this purpose, the surest and best
remedy is Schenck’s Mandrake Pills. These pills clean
the stomach and bowels of all dead and morbid slime
that Is causing disease and decay In the whole system
They will clear out tho liver of all diseased bile that
lias accumulated there, and ronso it up to a now and
healthy action, by which natural iiud healthy bile is
secreted.
The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cleansed by
thouseofSchonck’s Mandrake Pills; but there re.
mains In the stomach an excess of odd, tho organ is
torpid, and tho appetite poor. la the bowels, tho lac
teals are weak, and requiring strength and support.
It is In a condition like this that Scheuck’s Seaweed
Tonic proves to bo the most valuable remedy ever dis
covered. It Is alkaline, and Its use will neutralize all
excess of acid, making tho stomach sweet and fresh;
it will give permanent tone to this Important organ,
and create a good, hearty appetite*, and prepare the
svstem for the first process of a good digestion, ami
ultimately make good, healthy, living blood. Af
ter this preparatorv treatment. what remains to
cure most cases of consumption is tho free and per
severing use of Schcnck’s Pulmonic Syrup. The Pul
monic Syrup nourishes the system, purifies tho blood,
and Is readily absorbed into tho circulation, and
thence distributed to tho diseased lungs. There it
ripens all morbid matters, whether in tho form of
abscesses or tubercles, and then assists nature to ox
pel all tho diseased matter in the form of free ex
pectoration, when once it ripens. It is then, by the
great healing and purifying properties of Sehcuck's
Pulmonic Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities aro
healed up sound, and my patient is cured.
The essential thing to be done iu curing Consump
tion is to get up a good appetite and a good digestion.
bo that the body -will grow in fiesh and get strong. If
apcraonhaadiscaßedlungs.a cavity or abscess there,
the cavity cannot heal, the matter cannot ripen, so
long as the system is below par. what is necessary to
cure is a now order of things, a good appetite, a good
nutrition, the body to grow in flesh and get fat; then Na
ture is helped, the cavities will heal, the matter will
ripen and be thrown oft’in large quantities, and the
person regain health and strength. This is tho true
and only plan to euro Consiiraption.aml if a person Is
very bad, if tho lungs aro not entirely destroyed, or
even if one lung is entirely gone, if there is enough vi.
tality left in tho other to heal up. thero is hope.
I have seen many persons cured, with only one
sound lung, livoanu enjoy life to a good old ago. This
Is what Schenck's medicines will do to cure consump
tion. They will clean out tho stomach, sweeten and
strengthen it, get up a good digestion, and give nature
the assistance alio needs, to clear tho system of all
tho disease that is in the lungs, whatever tho form
may be.
if Is Important that, while using Schenck’s med
icines, care should be exercised not to take cold; keep
in-doors in cool and damp weather; avoid night air,
and take out door exorelsu only in a genial and warm
sunshine.
I -wish It distinctly understoodtli.it when I recom
mend a patient to be careful in regard to taking cold
•while using my medicines, l do so for a special reason.
A niftu who lies hut partially recovered from the effect s
of a had cold is far more liable to a relapse than one
who has been entirely cured, and it is precisely the
same in regard to consumption. 80 long as the lungs
are not perfectly healed, Just bo long is there Imminent
danger of a full return of the disease. Hence it is that
I so strenuously caution pulmonary patients against
exposing themselves to an atmoapQare that Is not
genial and pleasant. Confirmed consumptives’ lungs
are a mass of sores, which the least
change of atmosphere will inilame. The
grand secret of my success with my medicines con
sists in my ability to subdue inflammation instead of
provoking it. as many of the faculty do. An inflamed
mug cannot with safetyto the patient bo exposed to
the biting blasts of winter or the chilling winds of
spring or autumn. Itshouid.be carefully shielded
tram all irritating Influences. The utmost caution
should he observed in every particular, as without it
a cure under almost siny circumstances la an Impossl-
person should be kept on a wholesome and nu
tritious diet- and a'l the medicines continued until th e
body has restored to it the natural quantity of flesh
