Trial of Sirs. WbArtoo, under Charge of
Foiaoniag General W. Scott Ketchnm—
The Cnee for the Prosecution o« It was
Presented to the Grand Jury*
Baltimore (Pec. 3) Correspondence of the Kow York
Herald.
On the 10th day of July last Mrs. Ellon G.
Wharton; widow of Major H. W. Wharton,
late an officer of the United States Army, was
arrested in this city upon the charge of pois
oning General W. Scott Ketchnm, a retired
officer of the United States Army, and the
attempt to poison Eugene Van Ness, a cleric
in the wanting house of Alexander Brown
Sons, and her own confidential business
agent. Porsome days before the arrest was
made vague rumors were afloat throughout
the city connecting her name with tneso ter
rible crimes, but they were passed by as idle
gossip by nearly all save those who w er en
trusted with the dntv of executing the law.
Mra. Wharton occupiedaposition msociety
second to no lady in Baltimore. Her bouse
was the favorite resort of the elite of the
city, and her countenance and favor was
couxrted by the most refined circles of Balti
more society. She was a prominent member
of the Episcopal Church and a leading spirit
in the charitable associations of the city.
Her only .-■child, a beautiful girl, named Nel
lie, was conspicuous in matters pertain
ing to religious and social life, and her so
ciety, aswAdl as her mother’s, was of the in
telligent a>nd refined. Therefore it is not to
bo wondc-'red at that the community in
which lived and moved, a leading and
moving L*>irit, was startled when it was an
nounced she was accused of the crime of
murder.
When like arrest was made a majority,
perhaps, o'f the community held up their
hands in htf dy horror, and declared that her
arrest was- t“ 'the most outrageous proceeding”
that conldtfbc imagined, while many others
declared ripiat she had not only poisoned Gen
eral Ketch um, but full “half dozen others
of her fir.l*uds, including her husband and
Eon.”
Saturday, the 15th of July, the grand jury
of Baltimore city took up the case, and the
following: circumstantial evideuce, adduced
in relatio/fr to the death of General Ketchuin
and the pdoisoning of Mr. Van Ness, led to
her arjcsJt:
On /Saturday, Juno 24, General Ketchnm
i,/j 8 home xn Washington for the purpose
of ofcying a visit to tbo family of Mrs. Whar
.on, where he was an intimate friend, and
for the additional purpose of collecting a
aiote of $2,(100 which he held against her. as
she and her daughter had prepared to go Eu
rope the following week. Shortly after ar
riving at Mrs. Wharton’s he was taken very
ill and died on Wednesday, Juno 23. Dr. r.
C. Williams, who attended him, suspected
poison and immediately told Ins suspicions
ro the Marshal of Police, who directed the
detectives to keep a close watch upon Mrs.
Wharton, and, at his {suggestion. General
Ketchum’s remains were disinterred and ex
amined, and twenty grains of tartar emetic
found in his stomach. It was then ascertain
ed that he had taken food in Mrs. Wharton’s
house, and this formed the first link in the
chainof evidence against her. A clay ortwo
after the death of General Ketchnm Mrs.
Wharton went to Washington and demanded
of his sou, Charles A. Ketchnm, the payment
of $4,000, which she said she had given to his
father for safe-keening. He seemed sur
prised, and referred her to General Brice,
Paymaster General, who informed her when
she applied to him that the Ketchnm estate
owed her nothing. He also called her atten
tion to the fact that General Ketchum’s ac
count showed her in deht to him $2,000.
When be told her this she seemed much em
barrassed, and said that she paid that debt
gome time before. General Ketchum’s books
were referred to, but no account of the debt
Laving been settled was found, and her de
mandhrightenedthe suspicious that General
Ketchmn'had heen foully dealt with in her
Louse.
At first no one seemed to think that Mrs..
Wharton had committed the crime, not oven
General Kctchnm’s friends, but when it was
settled beyond preadventuro that he had
died from the administration of tartar
emetic, the inquiry went forth how it could
Lave been sriven him. If was ascertained
that Mrs. Wharton had purchased sixty
jwaius of that drag at a store near her resi
dence, about the time General Kctchum
came to her house. There was another cir
cumstance in relation to tbo purchase of
tartar emetic to which the authorities di
rected their attention. Several hours previ
ous to the arrival of General Ketchum Mr.
Eugene Van Ness, her confidential business
agent, called at her house, and while there
elie offered him a glass of heer, which
Le drank, and was at once taken vio
lently ill, and was for a week, even after
General Ketchum had died, sick in her
Louse, and the symptoms were remarkably
like those attending the illness of General
Ketchum. Mr. Van "Ness was attended at
Mrs. Wharton’s house by Dr. Chew and his
own wife and sister, ana the ladies seem to
Lave had their suspicions aroused by the
sameness of the symptoms of their relative
and General Kctchum, and when a milk
punch was prescribed by the physician Mrs.
Van Ness tasted it, and, finding it bitter,
poured out the milk, and a white sediment
was found in the bottom. She secreted the
glass and had the contents examined by a
chemist, and they were found to contain fif
teen grains of tartar emetic,
Vnmi tinK evidence the grand jurv found
the bill upon which sfie will bo arraigned
and tried on Monday next.
After she was arrested it was said that her
husband and son, each of whomhad a large
policy of insurance upon their lives, had died
suddenly and in a most mysterious manner,
and almost every one who had been intimate
at her house imagined that they had been
poisoned at some time or other by her, and so
asserted. The authorities acted upon these
rumors, had the "body of Major H. >V. Whar
ton, Jr., her son, exhumed and examined,
Lut no trace of poison was found.
When Mrs. Wharton was transferred from
her luxurious home and the associations of
friends, to the city jail, her daughter, of
whom I have spoken, accompanied her, pro
testing her mothers innocence, and refusing
to leave her side. She has remained with
Lct to this day, sharing her trials, and bear
ing up as best she could under the fearful
calamity thst has befallen their heretofore
untarnished household.
Hardly had The fact become known that
Mrs. Wliarton had been arrested upon the
charge of murder than a thousand rumors
.Were afioat in relation to her former life, and
ieuf-rs from people who either pretended or
rii<l her, were published, stating that
i "«ane when a child, and reciting a
lalor fancied pranks she used to
young girl.
the time Mrs. Wharton has been
Jniauy friends have declared her
and she has had their counte
nu-.,ce and support in an eminent degree,
singular feature of the accusation in
-case of Van Ness is, that he stoutly de
nics i *h a t Mrs. Wharton attempted to poison
fnm, C'juj scouts the idea that she is guilty,of
rtie cn r :ues charged against her.
_ Dn 'JhclOfh of October the cases against
ner w ere ca u et i j n the Criminal Court of this
and she was brought out for trial, when
tihe made oath that she could not get a fair
trial here and moved her case to Anne Arun
del Connty, the county seat of "which is at
Annapolis. Yesterday morning she was tak
en by Mr. Irving, warden of the Baltimore
cit j* jail, to that place for trial. She was ac
companied hy her daughter and Mr. Neilsou
Crawford and wife, her intimate personal
friends.
The party, upon arriving, at once took car-
Trinees and were driven directly to the jail,
•r. D ;it- re comfortable apartments had been pre
A jared for the prisoner and her daughter.
Mrs. Wharton’s health is quite good, but
her devoted daughter has guttered fearfully
from-the prisen confinement, and little trace
•of the beautiful girl she once was is now
left.
Eighty-nine witnesses have already heen
summoned and a largo number more will un
doubtedly be called. Sixty-three of the
eighty-nine have been subpoenaed for the de
fence, most of whom reside in Pennsylvania,
Airs. Wharton’s former home.
The fact that so many witnesses have been
summoned'from a distance has given color
to a rumofthat the defence will set up the
plea of insanity. The prisoner’s friends de
clare, however, that such is not the fact, and
seem to fully believe that she will bo ac
quitted upon the. merits of the case. The
prevailing opinion among those not inter
ested cither for or against the prisoner seems
to be that she is innocent.
The entire trial will be one of absorbing
interest, and the court may be occupied two
or three weeks in its consideration. Mrs
Wharton’s friends, among whom may be
numbered almost the entire aristocratic ele
ment of Baltimore city, are making extensive
arrangements to be present.
Baltimore, Doc. 4.
The trial of Sirs. Wharton, was commenced
to-dav in the Criminal Court of Anne Arundel
Countv, silting at Annapolis. The indict
Inent charging the murder of GeueralKetchum
contains four counts, alleging the adminis
Iration of tartar emetic, tincture of yellow
jassamiue. and an unknown poison, at differ
ent times between the 24th and 28th of J line
last, in lemonade and other beverages. The
Indictment charging an attempt to poison
Mr. Van Ness contains twelve counts, charg
ing the administration of the same poisons
1: at different times between the l»th and 28th
of June.
i Long before the assembling of the court
this morning the court room was densely
and the streets leading thereto
•‘were filled with spcctißors.
At 0:50 o’clock Mrs. Wharton arrived in a
1 i-Lack in front of the Court House, accom
ripauied hy her daughter Nellie, and Mr. and
-Mrs. J. Crawford Neilsou. She entered the
'ciourt room leaning on Mr. Neilstm’s arm
delav, and look a seat in the witness
and to the right of the Judge’s bench.
aller entrance was accomplished in a very
Jquiet manner, and no particular excitement
icxollowed. Ail eyes were turned upon her at
nthe time, but she was deeply veiled aud
%howed but little agitation.
'ff' Chief Judge Oliver Miller a few minutes
after took his scat on the bench, and the
court was opened.
The case was soon called, and being ready
for trial, the Judge ordered the Sheriff to
place the prisoner at the bar. Mrs. Wharton
prose leisurely, and, taking the arm of her
counsel, proceeded toward the prisoner’s
Lox, the crowd giving way as she passed.
She removed her veil before leaving her scut,
and for the first time revealed her counte
nance to the gaze of the crowd. Her daught
er followed her closely.. When she reached
the prisoner’s box she quietly took her stand,
and her daughter, deeply veiled, aud with
her head slightly bowed, stood close to her
left Lut outside of the box. Mrs. Wharton
Tvns’then arraigned for the nmrder of Gen
eral Ketchnm. Her counsel requested the
Judge to allow the prisoner to take her seat,
ns the indictment was lengthy and her
health feeble. Judge Miller said he would
consent after the reading of the first count of
the indictment. As Mrs, Wharton stood in
the prisoner’s hox she wore a composed and
sad expression. She showed no emotion, but
seemed calm and resigned. Occasionally,
however, a nervous movement of her lips and
eyes showed that it was a painful and trying
occasion to her. The crowd pressed toward
her and stared with earnest curiosity;. The
Clerk of the court then said to the prisoner,
Raise np your right hand.” At these words
she looked at him steadily, and drawing her
right baud from her _ iuim raised it to her
shoulder. The reading of the lengthy
indictment naming her as Elizabeth
G. Wharton then followed, and at
the conclusion of the first count she
was allowed to rest herself. Half an hour
was consumed in the reading of the indict
ment, and when the question, What say
von, guilty or not guilty!” was asked, Mrs.
Wharton, in a clear voice, answered, “Not
gnilty.’ 4 She then left the prisoners box,
and took her seat immediately in the rear of
her counsel, with her daughter to her left,
and Miss Rosa Neilson and Mrs. J. Crawford
Neilson to her right. The witnesses for the
State were then called, and the empanelling
of the jury was proceeded with. Of the reg
ular panel, eight jurors were accepted and
ten challenged; one had formed an opinion,
three were exeusi d, and two absent. The
Court then ordered twenty-live talesmen to
be drawn and summoned to appear to-mor
row at 10 o’clock, when the jury will be com
pleted. The jurors selected were discharged
until to-morrow, and the court adjourned.
After an adjournment of the court, Mrs,
Wharton remained a short time in conversa
tion with her counsel, when she returned to
the jail. Among the jurors selected five are
farmers, one telegraph operator, one physi
cian, and one printer. Both the State and
prisoner arc represented by able counsel.
Mr. Revcll, State Attorney for Anne, Arun
del County, and A. K. Syester, Attorney-
General for Maryland, for the prosecution:
and J. Nevitt Steele and John w, Thomas of
Baltimore, and Alexander B. Ilaguer, of An
napolis for the prisoner. Over 100 witnesses
have been summoned, about one-third of
whom are for the prosecution. Among those
for the defence are a largo number of distin
guished army officers. On each side are a
number of ladies occupying the highest so
cial position also several eminent physi
cians as medical experts and chemists. Owing
to the intense interest excited by the case, a
large number of special correspondents, rep
resenting various journals in New York,
Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore, and
other cities, are here.
PUBLIC CHABITIES.
Special Report of the State Commissioner*
Board of Public Charities,)
Secretary's Office, I
Springfield, 111., Nov. 3,1871.
The Hon. John H. Fainter, Governor:
Tho Suite Commissioners of Public Charities
have nearly completed the annual visitation of
State and county instutions, required by law, and
will submit their regular annual report on or be
fore the 15th day of December. In accordance
with your Excellency’s request, tho following
special report is respectfully submitted, in an
ticipation of the coming session, of the General
Assembly,
Tho Commissioners of tho Northern Insane
Asylum have submitted to this board their esti
mates of the amount necessary to complete and
finish that institution, of which tho following is a
summary:
Thee amounts appropriated br the General Assem
bly, up to tills date, for building purposes, have been
Appropriation of IS€9 $125,000.60
Appropriation of 1871, for completion of north
wing and purchase of land 33,555.20
Appropriation for rear building 43,500.00
Appropriation for healing and gas apparatus 26 800.00
Appropriation for reservoir and sewers 7,500.00
Total.
The actual cost of tho items named, at tho time
of their completion, (including Trustees’ and otlico
expenses, commissions to architect, etc.,) will be
$261,782 94. This will include certain items not
contained in tho estimates on which tho appropri
ations were based, viz:
Freights paid by the State, supposed to have
been part of the Elgin donation SB,OOO
Extras on north wing 3 goo
Extra cost of heating apparatus, in consequence
of adoption of petroleum and fuel 4,400
Total.
Deducting these items, the cost of the building
has exceeded the estimates by only $2,397.68; or
if trustees and ofiico expenses be also deducted,
not at all.
To complete tho centre building and south
wing will cost $256,000.00
To furnish it throughout, including gas fix
tures 22,460.00
Two bams and au icehouse 4,500.00
To alter, repair and enlarge the cottages on
the farm, to accommodate 50 patients 2"),000.00
$307,900.00
Extra cost of north wing, rear building, and
heating apppatatus 15,397.6$
Total additional appropriation needed.
This amount, $323,357.63, will have to bo appro
priated, now or hereafter, in order to curry out
the purpose of the act creating this asylum.
The Commissioners of the Southern Insane
Asylum have also submitted estimates of the cost
of completing that institution.
The appropriation of JBC9 ($125,000) is the only
one made thus far for Anna. An appropriation
of $60,000 was voted by the present Assembly, but
the act was not signed until after tho expiration
of the time named m the constitution.
The total amount expended, at tho time of
completion of tho north wring, (including Trustees
and office expenses, etc.) wiil bo as follows;
Expended by the old board $92,157.91
Expended by the new board 32,511.11
Indebtedness contracted. 63,767.03

atus 25.430 00
Machinery, etc., for water works.
Gas works.
Furniture lor 400 patients
Add Indebtedness, as above)....
Total appropriation needed
After a careful examination of the situation and
the necessities of the insane of Illinois, the Board
of Public Charities are of the opinion that tho in
terests of this unfortunate class require that
the Slate should prosecute the work of building
the necessary asylums with the utmost vigor. The
insane arc properly tbc wards of the State; and
the provision lor their care in Illinois is terribly
inadequate to the existing demand. There aro
between twenty-five hundred and three thousand
insane persons within our hounds, tor whom the
State has at present only one asylum, at Jackson--
ville, in which not more than lour hundred and
fifty can be successfully treated. The Elgin insti
tution, which will be opened early in 1872, will bo
able to receive one hundred and twenty-five. The
institution at Anna cannot receive a single pa
tient for at least a year to come. Two hundred
and forty are crowded into the Cook County Asy
lum, which was designed for one hundred aud
fifty. Three hundred more are scattered through
the county alms-houses, outside of Cook County..
If both the Northern and Southern Asylums are
completed by the fall of 1873, not one-half
of the insane of Illinois will even then be cared
for. With these facts staring us in the face, wo
are compelled to recommend tho greatest liberal
ity to both these institutions, consistent with the
finances of the State.
The amount expended on thc-Sonfhem Normal
Universitv, to date, is §143,543.53. To complete
and furnish the building, and grade and fence the
grounds, will absorb tbo present balance on
hand (110,883.15) and require $109,752.50 in addi
tion. Good policy would seem to dictate that the
present investment of nearly $150,000 should not
be allowed to go to waste for want of sulllclent
additional appropriations to make the investment
available, especially in view of the effect which
this institution will have upon tho educational
interests ot Southern Illinois.
One other subject seems to demand notice at
the hands of this board. We refer to tho situa
tU nof Cook County and the county institutions,
since the deplorable catastrophe at Chicago. The
indebtedness of Cook County, before the lire, was
§3,300,000, while tho comity valuation, at the last
assessment, was sloo,ooo,ooo—which would author
ize tm indebtedness, under tbo constitution, of
55.C00.000. The annual county expenses are over
$1,200,000, and will not bo reduced—but rather in
creased—since the tire. It Is thought that tho
new assessment to be made, cannot exceed §7O,
000.0C6; and without exceeding the constitutional
limit of taxation this valuation will not produce
sullicient revenue for ordinary expenses by
§IOI.OOO or §150,000. The Court House, of
which the county owned one-half, is In ruins, and
the county has no available means with which to
rebuild it; while the §3,000,000 appropriated by
the General Assembly, at its late session, for the
relief of Chicago, goes exclusively into the City
Treasury. With the reduction in value of taxa
ble pioperty In Cook County, it is not yet clear
whether the county can provide for its immediate
necessitiesbyloau. ’Thccounty will prolmbly apply
for State aid, in some form. The subject is beset
with difficulties, and it is not easy to determine
what is best to bo done; but tins board will glad
ly co-operate in any feasible sdheme fgr the relief
of the county. And our legal relation to the in
sane, especially, leads us to call the attention of
your Excelicncv and of the General Assembly to
the imperative necessity ot seeing that tho suffer
ings of this class, so utterly unable to -help them
selves, are notiucreascd bythiscalaralty.through
maetion on the part of the State. One State instl

—A Des Moines paper of tho sth 6ays the resi
dent stockholders in the Republic rnsurancoCom
pany have received a circular from the head
quarters of the company, calling on them to pay
the remaining 80 per cent, at the rate of 10 per
cent per month, and notifying them that the com
pany proposes to collect this and continue busi
ness. Itxsunderstoodthatamoetingof tho Dcs
Moines stockholders will ho held soon to consider
the situation and decide on tho course they will
pursue. Some of them aro reported as being in
favor of paying up and continuing business,
while still others think it best that the company
should go into bankruptcy. It is probable
that the course pursued by tho Des Moines
stockholders wiil be a fair index of what will bo
the course pursued by the country stockholders
generally. A lew weeks ago we mentioned that
the stockholders in the Republic could clear off
their entire indebtedness by buying up the com
pany’s certificates of indebtedness at about 60
cents on the dollar, which la their present market
price. In this way the total amount that tho
stock-holders would have to pay, would bo about
$1.2*0,000 instead of $4,C00,000 as would bo requir
ed to pay the full 80 per cent of stock now remain
ing unpaid.
—A committee of policy holders in tho Homo
Mutual Insurance Company of this city aro en
deavoring to have a Receiver appointed for the
company. Tho officers of the company promise
to pay 25 cents if “let alone."
—a wild-cut concern calling itself tho Globe
Insurance Company of Chicago" had been ille
gally issuing policies previous to the lire in this
city. Its assets were nil ana now Its olllccra are
nowhere to be found, and its policy holders are
in tribulation thereat. In the Annual Insurance
Report for 1871. the Auditor of State says:
Dming tho latter part of February of tho present
year I wan informed that tho Globe Insurance Com
pany of Chicago, then in process of ro-organization.
was seeking business ana issuing policies without
having complied with the law. I immediately re
quested proceedings to bo commenced against tho com
pany in the Cook County Court. The jiroceeiUngs
were commenced, and resulted in tho company ceasing
to do further business, and making an arrangement
with our attorney that no further imslno*K should be
done until foil eomplimice with the law was made.
Notwithstanding the “arrangement” above In
dicated by tho Auditor, it appears that this con
cern did go on doing business, and deceiving both
the Auditor and the public, as wo find the parties
calling themselves the “Globe Insurance Com
pany "were issuing policies as lat<* as May. The
i’l i sidcut of the Company is F. 11. Walker, and
the Secretary L. IV. S. Bailey.
—IVe mentioned u week ago that the Gorman
Insurance Company of Cleveland, and the Auro
ra, of this State, were offering to compromise
with claimants for losses under their policies at
25 cents on the dollar. Tho German, we
understand,had losses.on 200 policies,andhaa
settled with about 50 of tho claimants at 23 cents,
leaving about 130 unsettled yet. The Aurora
had lossc-ea on 170 polices, and lias settled with
about forty of tho claimants of these. The re
mainder, however, do not feel satisfied with 23
per cent, and an application has been filed in the
United States District Court to put the Aurora
in bankruptcy. IVc arc informed by the repre
sentative of the company that proceedings have
been commenced.
—The abundance of money in the European
markets attracts general attention. Orders from
the German markets, particularly, are largo for
American securities. It Is said tho Prussian Gov
ernment will redeem a large amount of its out
standing bonds between January 1 and April I,
1872. The London Times of November 21 calls at
tention to the plethora of money as follows:
It is very evident, if wo may judge from such ester
uni appearances aa are represented In our own col
umn*, or are to be read in the transactions-of the
•Stuck Exchange, to resist the impression ttat tho
world is now very tlnsh of tuonev. England Is* over,
flowing with It. America 1h carried along at the top
of the tide of prosperity. In Germany‘niea canum
bring out fast enough schemes for tho employment of
the capital waiting to be caught up."
The Times, however, professes to fear that this
is only the beginning of au era of speculation
which will end in disaster.

—The Canadians are disgusted with the results
of the official enumeration of their population and
business. In 1870 they estimated that the total
population of the four provinces of Ontario,
Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick was
4.283.094. They bad arrived at this conclusion by
estimating the probable increase of thoir popula
tion to be in the same ratio as the increase of
their Imports of foreign goods. In 1851, when the
total population of Ontnria and Quebec was 1,812,-
2C5, the total annual imports of loreign goods, in
cluding those coming to Canadian ports lu
transit between the United States and Europe,
was $21,534,788. In 1801 tho imports wore
$43,064,830, and for tho year ending
June 30.1871, $95,600,000. Now that tho census has
Itteu taken, it is found that there has been no such
proportion as was supposed between the increase
of population and business, and that tho four pro
vinces. instead of having a total population of
4.253.094, have only 3,484.924. However unsatis
factory this may bo to tho Canadians,. U, is at least
an interesting fact that tho increase of tho Import
trade of Canada which has considerably more
than doubled during tho last ten years, us is
shewn by tho foregoing figures, hasprububly been
caused mainly by the increase of trade between
these Western States of this Union and Europe,
passing through Montreal.

The amount of trading in produce to-day was
fatherless than the average,but prices were
generally well sustained, and'in several cases an,
advance was established, owing to light ofibrings
here and tlrmnesa in New York. The receipts
were again liberal, and not much reported for
shipment. Indeed, the situation with regard to
shipping produce from this city is peculiarly dis
couraging. Tile Tiiiuune this morning called at
tention to the fact of a discrimination of 23c per
10U lbs against beef shipped from Chicago to tho
East, as compared with the same product shipped
through here from Kansas City. That is but u
sample of tho way in which many prominent
railroad otliclals are doing their worst to intensify
the mischief wrought by our recent calamity,
and make permanent the interruption to business
which it was hoped would prove to bo but tempo
rary. Shippers of grain and other produce from
this point will do well to follow the example
t-ct by the beef-packers, and make a united
ribirt to receive tho same terms from tho rail
roads as are accorded to others. They have tho
power to obtain a recognition of their rights, if
Gioy wnl only go to work in the regular way.
The truth is that the evil now complained of is no
novelty. The sumo discrimination, in kind It not
in degree, has been made all through the past
two winters, and quietiv submitted to. It is about
tune to institute a reform.

Ilighwincs were strong, owing to local scarcity,
and an advance in New York. A sale was made
early of 100 brls atone, but after that, Waou U2o
was freely bid, while holders asked yia93c, at
which range the market closed. We note sale of

Provisions were firm and moderately active,
though the receipts of hogs reported for yester
day, 27,034 head, were the largest of any day in
the past four years, and 22,050 head weru reported
in up to 11 o’clock this morning. Buyers of pro
duce held off early, expecting u decline from this
cause, but found that holders were fully as strong
as yesterday, and then begun to bid, the
result being a still firmer feeling, principally in
meats, but noticeable also in lard. There is a
good order demand here for meats, and it would
probably be much larger but for tho fact that
high rates of freight stand in tho way; a recent
reduction in that direction on hogs has mate ri>
allv stimulated the purchase of the auim il for
shipment. Park was mostly wanted tor tho fu

Wheat was only moderately active, and about
l-4o lower on options for delivery after this
month, though Ann on cash lots, for which there
were several ordois on the market—apparently
for shipment. New York was quoted unsettled,
buyers holding off in expectation of a farther re
duction in the gold premium, and tho same cause
operated to make tho future easier hero. But
speculative sellers were not anxious, and hence
but few trades were made at times for tea min
utes together.. The marked for.seller January
opened at $1.211-2, improved l-4c, and closed at
$1.21 6-8. Seller the last half sold at $1.201-ia

Corn was in good demand, principally specula
tive, and averaged fully l-8o lugher than yester
day. Liverpool and Now York were both report
ed firmer, though in tho case of Liverpool this
was not sustained by the public report. But
present low prices are calling out a good demand
from New England points, and many IVeatom
operators think that it is good property at cur
rent quotations. The market for cash No. 2, or

The Boston correspondent of tho Burlington
Free ]*ress writes to tho effect that tho Caughna
waga Canal project occupies tho attention of tho
Along men of that city, and that its Board of
Trade h is been carefully considering tho scheme.
It is believed that this new route to the Eastern
States, for tho Western grain trade, would prove
of great benefit to tho commercial world.
Tho trade of the West with European
ports, in grain, by tho way of Boston, has increas
ed largely of late, its elevators containing at this
moment 400.000 bushels awaiting transportation.
The writer thinks that a tri-weekly line of steam
ers between Boston and European countries
might obtain, at present, all tho trade desired.
The Chicago fire is believed to have temporarily
checked the project, which is not, however, con
sidered likelyto suffer shipwreck. Burlington
Is called upon to give further help, Boston being,
it is said, ready to perform its part, in view of
the natural advantages of the harbor, and tho
good account to which they may iu this way bo
put.

CATTLE—'The general features of tho cattle
market were without change iu any essential par
ticular- Holders of desirable shipping beeves
bad little reason to complain, as there was a very
full attendance of Eastern buyers and
the demand from that source was sulnclcnt to ab
sorb the supply, and at full prices. For common
and medium descriptions the demand, as during
the preceding days of tho week, was somewhat
limited, ami sales dragged more or less through
out, but no perceptible decline was sustained, the
moderate character of tho supply serving to keep
prices up. Tho more desirable offerings were
promptly taken by shippers, at $4.23a4.50 for me
dium to fair grades, averaging from 1,100
to 2,230 lbs, and at $1.75a5.50 for
good to choice fat smooth steers averaging from
l,2tu to 1.500 lbs, though thure were few transfers
at over $5.25. Among tbc notable sales of tin? day
was 63 head averaging 1,139 lbs at ss.7s—byNicofs
and Addeius; 30 head averaging 1,511 103 at
85X0—by Conger Bros., and 73 head averaging
1,351 lbs at ss.4o—by Gregory, Strabcr A Co. Only
a few lots were taken on local account, at $2 60a
4.00. Feeders were doing little, prices being
considered too high. A few car loads were dis

There was more activity in the wool market
during the past month than could reasonably
have Wen expected at tho elosoof October, when
tho depressing influences which were at work,
arising from a stringent money market and ex
treme dullness in woollen goods, induced most
manufacturers to purchase only their dally re
quirements. Nevertheless this- light demand was
sufficient to reduce stocks toa very low point,
and all must now bo thoroughly con
vinced of tho inadequate supply ot wool for the
remainder of tho season. Manufacturers gener
ally appreciating this situation, have, during the
past fortnight, bought more freely and aho-w a
disposition to meet the present views of holders,
feeling satisfled that the future will justify them
in aflticiiaitiiig their wants.
U is natural m tho emergency of an insufficient
supply of the raw material to look for relief from
foreign sources. But a glance at the European
markets will reveal tho-facts of small stocks, ac
tive demand and advancing values, with prices
already higher than hare for corresponding de
scriptions.
American buyers recently returned from Eng
land, where they found it difficult to supply
themselves, and, being unable to obtain oucaper
wools than were offered iu the homo markets,
have resorted to the latter source, and hence we
are enabled to record heavy transactions during
the closing week of the month, in both domestic
and foreign wools.
Late telegraphic advices from London report a
further advance iu Capo and Australian wools,
since the commencement of the sales on the 23d
ultimo, of Id per pound, which has stimulated tho
demand heio for these wools, and holders are
firmer than a week ago. There has. perhaps,
been no time since the opening of the season
when the stability of values was so settled a
fact.
California Wools—Nothing of interest has
transpired iu this description. Stocks are great
ly reduced, and prices have ruled somewhat ir
regular. Fall wools arc neglected. Receipts un
important.
Texan Wools—Have hcen fairly active, and do
not accumulate in the market. Prices continue
steady and holders firm.
Foreign Wools—Largo transactions are noted
during the month in Australia, Cape, and the
various South American wools at full prices, and
iu several instances at a slight advance over
rates current at the opening of tho mouth.
The wools have gone largely iuto consumption,
and comparatively little is held in importers,
hands.

Savannah, 17 bales; other Southern ports, 33

For manufacturers the situation is probably
one of the greatest interest. We cannot certainly
expect lower prices, and it would seem to be judi
cious for them to anticipate their wonts while the
opportunity offers for good selections, if they de
cufe to run their mills.
Pulled Wools—The demand has been light for
these wools except for choice medium lots, which
are in small supply. Prices are, however, well
maintained for ail kinds, and the general stock is
not large.

HOSTETTER’S BITTERS.
Shocks to the System*
The first shock of winter tells tremendously upon
enfeebled systems. Every ono knows that in passing
from a warm region to a cold one, or via rma, the body
inquires as a protection against epidemics, an accli
mating medicine. All travellers and voyagers admit
this. It is equally necessary to acclimate the system
in passing the confines of one season and entering up
on another. Autumn is gone and winter is hero. Pre
pare the frame and the constitution to meet the chango
by a course of Hostetler's Stomach Bitters. This In
estimable vegetable tonic increases the stamlnal
strength of those who take it, and renders them proof
to a great extent against tho devitalizing power of cold
and damp. Those two agents aro as prolific of disease
as tropical heat, and animal vigor—such vigor as this
healthful and pure tonic diffuses through tho whole
organization—ls a repellant which they cannot master.
A large proportion of tho colds, catarrhs, and pulmon
ary complaints which prevail in winter, might bo
avoided, by strengthening and regulating tho system
In advance with this invigorant and alterative. Not
that it is recommended as a specific for those com
plaints, but as a preventive of their causes. On the
other baud, it is not only a preventive of, but a specific
