OueKsmxu Pianos. —Tho name of Cfeicker*
ing has Iveu associated with tho manufacture
of pianos for nearly fifty years. Jones Chick
oring was one of tUo pioneers in the busiue-s,
and his early success offered the first t fimctual
check to the large importation of piano-fortes
from Europe. At that period, and for mauy
years after tho demand for pianos was very
.limited, so that as oue after another manufac
*fc;rer sprung up. following at a distance the
)Mtd ot Chickering, it became possible to sup
ply the home demand by homo manufacture,
and the public at length, believing in the ster
ling excellence of the American product,ceased
to order from abroad, aud toe business of im
porting pianos died out, it being impossible to
pursue it with profit.
For thirty years the house of Chickering A
Sons was the foremost bouse m America, it
business doubling that of any other maker, and
throughout tlio whole length and breadth of
tbe country tho name of “Chickering, Hoeton,
was a talismau and a guaranty, which has
penetrated into a thousand of American
homes, and was then as much a household
word in proportion ns it is this day, where its
thirty thousand pianos are forever vocalizing
the simple words ‘‘Chickering, Boston.

The entire iron frame v.ag first used by Chick
criog A Fens, and was exhibited by thorn at
the first great International Exhibition in Lou
don, where it created a profound excitement,
receiving the first medal ever awarded to au
American piano-forte manufacturer, and the
Approval ol all the eminent makers in Euro [re.
who aitevwards adopted the principle ; thus
giving rise to tho expression "mauniactured
t»tter the American plan."
Chickering « Sons uiet introduced the “cir
cu'ar,” from which springs all tho present ox
ceffenco of tho American piano. The adop
tion of this f case, which the chkkerings gener
ously left unpatented for the benefit of the
’whole trade, has given to the piano depth,
power, and bauty of quality of ton •; in short,
it! as op-ned tho way lor thetplendid qualities
which distinguish tho piano of tOMiay'trom the
pi .no cf fifteen years r>go.
The immense buxines done by Chiekeriog £
Sons necessitated manufacturing facilities iu
proportion, and led to the erection of thoir
mo ld ext* nsivu and splendid manufactory in
i ston, which is the largest in the world, and
lice been imitated on a smaller scale by other
manufacturers in this country ; although
much of their wonderful labor-saving machines,
the invention of the Chlckerlngs themselves,
cannot be imitated, and arc therefore not to
be found elsewhere.
The house of Ohltkering k Sons fully main
tain* its supremacy. Their manufactory ia
still much the largest in the world, the num
ber of pianos they turn out wack y in rrronds,
tqiiares and uprights exceeds that of any
rioglc manufacturer in America. Their pianos,
when brought into close competition with
those of any other maker, have always been
prouounced superior, and their grind piano,
which is .the instrument which stamps the
supreme reputation of a manufacturer, is in
ways chosen by tho world’s acknowledged
groat pianists aa the only instrument in
which thc7 can reveal in tho highest degree
tht-ir skill, imagination and sentiment, and is
consequently the loading concert piano In

While the world yet riugs with tho narrative
of a brave people's struggle tor independence,
and while the story of the hardships so nobly
endured for Liberty-a sake is yet a theme but
hall exhausted, the counties graves of the
myriads of heroes who spilled taeir noble
blood in deforce of that glorious cause lie
neglected, not alone unmarked by tablet or
Bculpteied urn, but literally vanishing before
the releutles? finger of Time. Within the
past four weeks, there have been lOrmed, oy
the Ladies ol Richmond, two associations, viz .
The “Hollywood’’and the “Oakwood, having
for their object the care and renovation of the
soldiers’ graves in those Cemeteries.
Goiemporaueously with the above, we, the
Hebrew Ladies, formed a similar Association,
with the view of caring for the graves of Jew
ish soldiers; which, of course, would not be
embraced in the work of either cf tha first
named Societies.

resting place of their lost ono3j although de
nied to them to perform, is yet sacredly ful
filled by tho members of tho “Hebrew Ladies’
Memorial Association.”
it is our intention to mound and turf each
grave, and to plt.ee at the head of each a sio
pie stoiio, inscribed with name, State, and
time aud pi coos death; subsequently, to *earr
a monument commemorative of their brave
deeds.
Iu order, however, to succtvwfully accom

distance. Our scant and somewhat needy com

well; but we find “this work is too great for
us therefore, with a full confidence in the

will act refuse to assist in rearing a monument
which shall save not ouiy to commemoruto
tiro bravery of our dead, but the gratitude and
admiration of tho living, for those who so
nobly perished in what we deemed a just and
righteous cause : and while as Israelites we
inouru tho untimely loss of our loved ones, it
will Ito’a graceful reflection that they suffered
not their country to call in vain. \
in time to come, when our grief shall have

ing Incident:
During tho thickest of the fight at Resaca, he
called aud said, “you look hungry, and I must
divid? my lunch with you.” Someone had
presented him with a box of guava jolly, and
a bit of wheat bread, (rarities in those Confed
erate times) and the prospect was tempting,
“But,” said we, “wouldn’t itgoa little better
if wo were in o safer place ?” The old gentle
man laughed kindly nnd replied, “certainly it
would.” And wo proceeded to find one. We
had scarcely seated ourselves, however, - behind
an oak tree at the bottom of the hill, when a
schrapnel came tearing through the air, struck
tho oak broadside about thirty feet above us,
and precipitated both of us, lcmchjand ail, amid
a mass oflimbs and fragments into a gully be
low. “Hey»day !” cried tho General, picking
himself out of tho rubbish. “You’re a pretty
fellow for selecting covers! Come, we may a3
well take ourselves back to tbe front.”
The same paper also gives an account of hia
death. It says;
The five weeks immediately preceding his
fall, Gen. Polk passed in very active service.
Ho had come from Mississippi with his army
to join Gen. Johnstou, with whom he wae upon
the most affectionate relations. We saw him
for the last time on tha day before he was shot.
He .was occupying a log cabin to the right of
Lost Mountain, and appeared to be depressed
about the situation. The next morning he sot
out with a party of officers, including General
Johnston, General Hardee and General Red
Jackson, upon a tour of inspection. On Pine
Knob they passed a long while id general con
versation. Tho group was noticed from au op
posite battery, and a ball was fired just over
it. Tho gentlemen at once dispersed, General
Polk stiff keeping, with his usual carelessness,
the comb of .tho hill. A second shot was fired,
and it struck him upon the right side, crushing
his arm, and passing through aud through the
body. Col. Gale, his son-in-law, ran to him
as he fell, but life was quite extinct, without
a sign of pain, and only a slight tremor of the
nether lip.
A REMARKABLE CASE.
A ilfild Born with fine Arm Under Peculiar
CirtnmAanec'.
One of the most remarkable cases that has
over conic under the observation of our medical
fraternity, lias just transpired at tho residence
of a young man name J Abriei, who resides on
First s'rec’t, Arbor Hill. Mr. A. is a returned
soldier. He lias been home something less than
a year. When he came home he was suffering
from a Minnie ball wound through the fleshy
part of the bight arm. It became so bad that
the attending physician talked seriously ot am
putation. This worked seriously on the mind
of his young wife (he had but a short time pre
viously got married.) She cared for and dressed
the arm regularly, and paid every attention to
it, not wishing to see her husband with only one
arm. This was some eight or nine months ago.
Under the kind care of the wife, whose whole
attention was absorbed in the thought of a one
armed husband, the wound got well, and the
arm was saved. Now for the sequel. All this
transpired eigkt or nine months ago. The
other day the wife of Mr. Abriei gave birth to a
child who had one developed arm, hut the other
was a stump, similar to one which the poor
wife’s mind was impressed with at the time the
surgeons were taking oif her husband’s. Am
putation could in t have produced a more beau
tiful stump, anil what is more, the sc.tr of the
bullet-hole, so visible oil the father’s arm, was
so visible on the child's arm at the base of tbe
stump as it really indicted by a bail. This is
the most remarkable case of “child-mark” ever
known. It has attracted the attention of ail
our leading physicians and surgeons. The child
is a healthy and beautiful one, perfect in every
respect, save the absence of the arm referred to.

On her fair, clear brow, a cold caress,

If you whispered his name but ever so low ;
For ere the morrow with gasping breath,

And stark in her bridal garments lies,
The love-light faded from her eyes.

The white-haired man looks forward still.

HISTORY OF THE 6YTSIES.
'tire Gypsies ia Their Country.
i here are few who have not, at one time or
another, felt a strong interest in those eccentric
nomads who, unJer the name of Gypsies, have
for centuries been encamped or journeyed
among the civilized people of Europe and in
this country. Who and what are they, what is
their mode of life, and what are their peculiar
notions, are subjects of which little is under
stood. Mr. Burrow’s works have contributed
something to our knowledge, and the book now
before us, a “History of the Gypsies, by Walter
SSiinson, ’ will add much more to our stock of in
formation.
The American edition—published by M.
Doolady, 448 Broome .street— is edited by James
Bimson, who estimates the number of Gypsies
in the British isles alone at not less than 250,.
000, and says that in Europe and America
there are 1,000,000 of these strange creatures.
7he editor corrects some popular notions in
regard to the present habits of the Gypsies.
I here are not now, in the main, the wanderers
they used to be. Through intermarriage with
other peoples, and from other causes, they have
adopted more stationary modes of life, and have
assimilated to the manners of the countries in
which they live. Still this mixing of races does
not diminish the old antipathy. The nearer the
gypsy approaches the pure white race the more
intensely does he feet the wall of separation,
and the more pride does he feel in his ancient
descent ond traditions. As the editor of this
volume says : “They carry the language, the’
associations and the sympathies of their race,
ami their peculiar feelings toward the commu
nity with them ; and, as residents of towns,
have greater facilities, from others of their race
residing near them, for perpetuating their lan
guage, than when strolling over the country.”
The origin of the Gypsies is traced back to
the time when the Jews were in captivity in
Egypt. The theory is that they were a part of
the “mixed multitude” mentioned in Exodus ;
that while the Jews were merely in a state of
serfdom, this “mixed multitude” were really
slaves; that they separated from the Jews in
their llight and went through the Persian desert
into Northern Hindostan, where they formed
the Gypsy caste, and, alter many centuries,
spread themselves over the earth, speaking the
language of Hindostan. On their exit from
Egypt they had, as slaves, no notions of the
rights of property, and during their travels were
almost forced to rob and steal the means of sub.
sistcnce.
In Hindostan, they found their knowledge of
horses and of working in metals, as well as of
the less useful arid more occult sciences, ex
ceedingly useful to them. The peculiarities of
their language are somewhat accounted for on
the ground that they were more or less isolated
in Hindostan, and retained many of their old
Egyptian words and phrases, while they adopt
ed so much of the Hindostanee that a friend of
the author assures him that five out of ten of
thoir words belong to that language. Borrow
even detects many words which show an un
mistakable Greek origin. •
The author says that several thousand Eng.
fish Gypsies had arrived in this country within
the last ten years preceding the writing of his
book. They became horse dealers, peddlers,
fortune tellers, ete., and are generally well to do.
He says :

Perhaps the foundation of the American
broom manufacture was laid by the British
Gypsies, by whom it may be partly carried oh
at the present day ; a business tlzey pretty much
monopolise, in a rough way, in Great Britain.
Wc will doubtless find among the fraternity
some of those whittling, meddling Sam Slick
peddlers so often described. I have seen some
of those itinerant venders of knife-sharpeners,
and such “Yankee notions,” with dark, glisten
ing eyes, that would “pass for the article.” Some
ot'them.would live by less legitimate business.
I entertain no doubt, from the general fitness
of things and the appearance of some of the
men, that we will fine some of the descendants
ot tho old British mixed Gypsies members of
the various establishments of Messrs, Peter
Funk & Company, of the eity of New York,
as well as elsewhere. And I entertain as .little
doubt that many of those American women
who tell fortunes, and engage in those many
curious bits of business that so often come up at
trials, tire descendants of the British plantation
stock of Gypsies. But there are doubtless
many of these Gypsies in respectable spheres of
life. It would be extremely unreasonable to
say that the descendants ot the colonial Gypsies
do not still exist as Gypsies, like their brethern
in Great Britain, and other parts of the Old
World. The English Gypsies in America en
tertain no doubt of it; and more especially as
they have encountered such Gypsies, of at least
two descents. I have myself met with such a
Gypsy, following a decidedly respectable calling,
whom I found as much one of the tribe, barring
the original habits, as perhaps any one in Eu-
rope.
There are many Hungarian and German
Gypsies in America; some of them long settled
-in Pennsylvania and Maryland, where they
own farms. Some of them leave their farms in
charge of hired hands during the summer, and
proceed south with their tents. In the State of
Pennsylvania there is a settlement of them on
the J river, a little way above II , where
they have saw-mills. About the Alleghany
Mountains there are many of the tribe, following
somewhat the original ways of the race. In
the United States generally there are many
Gypsy peddlers, British as well as continental.
There are a good many Gypsies in New York—
English, Irish, and continental—some of whom
keep tin, crockery and basket stores ; but these
are all mixed Gypsies, and many of them of
fair complexion. The tin ware which they
make is generally of a plain, coarse kind ; so
much so that a Gypsy tin store is easily known.
They frequently exhibit their tin. ware and
baskets on the streets and carry them about the
city. Almost all, if not all, of those itinerent
cutlers and tinkers to be met with in New York,
and other American cities, are Gypsies, princi
pally German. Hungarian-and French. There
are a good many Gypsy musicians in America.
“What!” said I to an English Gypsy, “those
organ-grinders !” ‘Nothing so low as that.
Gypsies don’t grind their music, sir ; they make
it.” But I found in his house, when occupied
by other Gypsies, a hurdy-gurdy and tambou
rine • so that Gypsies sometimes grind music, as
well as make it. I know of a Hungarian Gyp
sy who is leader of a negro musical band in the
city of New York ; his brother drives one of the
avenue cars. There are a number of Gypsy
musicians in Baltimore, who play at parties,
and on other occasions. Some of the fortune
teUin"- Gypsy women about New \ ork will
make as much as forty dollars a week in that
line of business. They generally live a little
uay out of the city, into which they ride in the
morning, to their places of business.

Letter of a Planter upon the Proposed Col
ton Tax.
\\ illard s Hotel, \\ ashinoto.v, )
June !], 1866. \
Hon. John VV. Leftu-ich :
lam pleased that you have turned your at
tention lo the subject ot the proposed cotton
tax, A great mistake seems to prevail at Wash
ington and in the North ir. regard to the profits
of cotton planting and the power of cotton to
sustain taxation. Cotton can no more stand
taxation than corn or wheat, or any other pro
duct of the soil. Labor, if Jett alone, will equal
ize iueif, and engage in whatever is found to re
turn tne best compensation.
Cotton has been temporarily high, because its
cultivation has been partially suspended bv the
war, and by taxation impend by Southern Leg
i-latures during tiie war. In this condition of
thugs it IS obviously a matter of national im
portance to send labor back to the cotton fields
as ropully as possible, to reduce the price of cot
ton by increased production, thereby furnishing
au abundant and cheap supply at home, ami'
senJmg it abroad at prices that will check the
growing competition in the cultivation of this
great staple in other countries. To tax cotton
now because it bears a high price will be as un
wise as it would be to tax corn when the price
is rati up by a failure of crops, or to tax pork
because the hog cholera may have reduced the
number of hogs.
1 have said cotton cannot stand taxation—
that ts, taxation will tujn labor from its produc
non into other pursuits. The facts and reasons
foch have led my mind to this conclusion are
obvious.
ihe average net-profit derived from, capital
invested in the cultivation of cotton for a series
ot years before the war was less than four per
cent. Ihe apparent increase of the “so-called”
Southern wealth was not trout rai ing cotton
but from raising negroes. The negro girl, mar
riec at iifteen years of age, would, by the time
she was thirty years old, have children worth
hvt or six thousand dollars, while tbe labor of
herself and husband during this period would
not do more than support themselves and family
While the aggregate net profit from the labor of
slaves of all classes engaged in the cultivation
of cotton was under four per cent., perhaps not
over three per cent., their increase was fully
equal to ten per cent. It Yvas this increase,
therefore, which made up much the largest
portion of the apparent but delusive income of
the South.
A majority of planters did no more bv then
crops than pay the annual expenses of their
amilies and of their plantations. Some ever
failed to do this much, and were forced to sell
one ar more negroes every year to settle balances
against them. And yet, by the rapid increase
and growth of negroes, the convertible value of
theirfestates, in most cases, was constantly ad
vancing,
These general estimates of the profits of cot
ton-raising as compared with negro-raising
must be varied according to localities and the
character of the climate and soil. In the best
cotton districts the profit on cotton-raising was
of course much greater than the average here
given, but then the climate was less healthy and
less care was taken of negroes, especially the
young ones, and but little profit made by the in
crease and growth of slaves. So that tho ag
gregate average income from the two sources
cotton-raising aud negro-raising—was about as
above stated. •
It will be seen that these two sources of in
come were very different and distinct, though
strangely confounded together in the public
mind. When a planter’s estate was supposed
to have reached one hundred thousand dollars,
he was said to have made it by raising cotton,
and hence it was inferred that the business was
very profitable; yet the matter being rightly
understood, he made it by raising negroes.
But we have now entered on anew condition
of things, and the calculations of the cotton
planter in regard to the future must be entirely
changed. Slavery is abolished, and the increase
and growth of negroes can never again be looked
to as a part of his income. “King Cotton”
must now stand alone. He has no slaves to
come and go at his bidding, and must not rely
on their increase as part of hi« revenue.
This brings me to the direct question. What
will be the profits of cotton-raising in this new
condition of things l The following proposi
tions to my mind are perfectly clear:
First. During the existence of slavery the
largest portion of the income of planters was
from the increase and growth of slaves.
Second. The actual profits made on raising
cotton, when separated from the increase and
growth of negroes, was not greater than the
profits made on wheat, corn, mules, cattle, die.,
in the free States.
Third. Slaveiy being abolished, the planter
must rely for nis future income solely on the
products of the soil. The soil in the South is
being cultivated by free labor, and the products
of the soil produced by free labor can no more
bear taxation in the South than in the North.
I am, as you are aware, the President ot the
Mobile and Ohio railroad, which runs through
Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
It passes through more cotton-fields than any
other road, and my duties in passing up and
down it have brought me in contact and made
me familiar with the workings of the popular
mind.
Before the present growing crop was planted,
two questions were prominent before the peo
ple ; First. Can the freedmen be induced to
cultivate a crop ? Second. In view of the
broken and postrate condition of the country, is
it possible to raise the means necessary to bring
from Kentucky,{lllinois, Indiana, Missouri, and
Ohio the mules, (arming utensils, corn, hay,
meat, and other supplies necessary in raising a
crop 1 Over these questions, on which the fate
of the people, white and black, seemed to de
pend, there hung clouds of doubt and fear
almost driving the country to despair. Instead
of receiving soothing and encouraging messages
from abroad, we heard but little except the voice
of wrath and vengeance. In this condition it
was hard to bring the people up to the degree
of confidence necessary to induce them’ to un
dertake the planting of a crop.
At last, pressed by the argument, they must
do something, and gathering courage at the
very point of despair, the planters engaged in
trying once more to cultivate cotton. They suc
ceeded in getting about one-haif the freedmen
to go to work, promising in-some cases fixed
wages, but in most instances agrSeing to give
part of the crop. They mortgaged lands, and
pledged all that remained to them on earth to
raise means to pay for their supplies. White
familfei that never labored before have gone into
the fields to supply the places of that portion of
the freedmen who refuse to work. No people
ever struggled harder than that people are now
slugging to raise themselves above want, and
to restore to themselvos peace and comfort.
W hat they are doing* I believe to be a fair type
of the South generally. And now, is it not
amazing that the product of the labor of a peo
ple struggling against such fearful disadvant
ages should be selected as the subject of peculiar
and special taxation 1
From the commencement of the frovernment
down to the abolition of slavery, while the
white man owned the slave, his labor and his
increase, no such tax was thought of. But
now, when the white man and the freedmen for
the first time enter the cotton field, jointly and
mutually interested in the growing crop, this,
tax is proposed.
An engagement calls me away, and I must
close. I may write you again. ■ In conclusion,
I pray G>d that an .American Congress may
never esablish the principle of imposing taxes
on any tgricultural product received from the
bosom cf our mother earth as the reward ot
honest hbor. •

The spinted New Yotk correspondent of the
Charleston News, in a late issue qf that ex
cellent journal thus discauts on the Now York
Gold Board :
New York, June 19. —havingbean informed
yesterday by the Secretary ot me Gold Board,
that the gold mania had burst forth anew in
all its pristime intensity, and knowiog from a
former experience that the Gold Boom, at
such time, presents a pretty fair future
ot Pandemonium on a holiday occasion,
if the imps of Satan and the children ot
the Devil can bo supposed to have “a
day we celebrate.” I took up my
line of march down Broad street towards the
scene of action. It was verily a scene ot ac
tion—of action exaggerated to distraction
hundreds of gentlemen bawling to the extent
of their voice, and gesticulating with nil the
trantic ardor ot confirmed lunatics—some of
fering to buy gold, some to sell gold, some at
one price, some at a higher figure, some at a
lower figure, whilst high above the horrible
diu and babel-like contusion, worse confound
ed, arose the voice of an enthusiastic gentle
man expressing his willingness to “borrow ten
gold.” Mcultue not precisely understanding
the financial technicalities of ths Gold Room,
was on the point of signifying his readiness to
accept a loan of a smaller amount, say even ol
the trifling sum ot “live gold” (the word
thousand always understood,) but checked
himself in time to avoid an exposure of his
innocence. As the Secretary of the Gold Board
is a native of your city, and a particular friend
of your innocent correspondent, I received
much valuable information from him. He In
formed me, in the first place, that at hardly auy
time during the war had the fluctuation in the
gold market been greater or the excitement
more Intense. The interior of the Gold Room
is a largo rotunda in which is crowded a dense
mass ot speculators, each aud ail armed with a
pencil and book, and eagerly bawliug out their
bids and offers to the very utmost extent of
their power of lung. In one corner of the room
is placed a circular plate, like a dial, on which
an attendant, as he receives from the Secretary
the ever changing quotations, varying each
>econd, founded on actual transactions, marks
them on the dial, that all may perceive and
know the amount at which the latest sale has
been made. The Secretary pointed out to me
a gentleman who had, in the course of the last
hour, made ten thousand dollars clear; another
who had, in the last ten days, lo6t over two
hundred thousand; and many gentlemen were
present who were destined to be ruined or en
riched by the rise or fall of gold at this exist
ing crisis. Gold opened at 158 J, fluctuated,
and at one time sank to 156}, closing at half
past five o'clock at 157£. Any speculator,
therefore, who may have sold $200,000 in the
morning and bought in the afternoon—and it
is not unusual for such an amount to change
hands—must have made a clear profit in a few
hours of $24,500.

It_4I.TI.HOKK MARKETS.
, Tuesday, June 20, 1800.
Coffee—Very little inquiry. Wo report a
sale of 140 bags prime Rio at 194 cents, gold.
Flour—There is no inquiry, except for local
wants, and in the absence of transactions,
prices are only nominally maintained. Fresh
ground city is scarce, the bulk of the stock is
composed of Western, and nearly all spring
wheat grinding. City millers have quite gen
erally suspended work, and are cleaning up
preparatory for the new crop. We repeat
quotations, though to effect sales a concession
on the lower grades of Super and Extra would
have to be made.

Grain—Prime and choice wheats are very
scarce and command very full prices, but
Western Spring reds are in good supply aud
very heavy; no transactions in these latter
descriptions for several days. We report a
sale of 500 bushels old crop Kentucky white
at $3 25. The first receipt ofuewcrop was
offered and sold to-d?.y, consisting of 100
bushels prime white, raised near Hampton.
Elizebeth City county, Virginia, consigned by
George F. Anderson to Messrs Cox & Brown,
and was purchased at $3 80 per bushel by
Messrs Walker, Dorsey & Cos., manufactures
of the Monitor and Silver Spring Family brands
Corn was in limited supply to-day ; 2,100
bushels white and 2,350 bushels yellow com
prised the receipts ; market was inactive, and
prices of white fell off several cents. Sales
amounted to 5,000 bushels; included were sev
eral lots left over from the previous day. We
report, viz : 2,000 bushels mixed and ordinary
white at $1 12al 15 ; 3,000 bushels good to
prime do., $1 20al 22 ; 500 bushels yellow,
common, at $1 ; 1,500 bushels prime do., at
$1 02al 03. Oats—s4o bushels received aud

bags. Eye—Receipts small, no sales.
Molasses—The imports the last day or two
consist of 470 hogsheads, 190 puncheons and 35
barrels. Market is quiet, only sale reported
being 33 hogsheads Cuba on private terms.
Provisions—The market continues dull and
inactive, though with light Btock; the dealers
generally are very firm, not disposed to press
the market. We notice a rather better jobbing
demand for bacon shoulders and eidts on orders
which are filled at last quotations, 17 cents for
shoulders and 20 cents for sides. There Is
nothing doing in other descriptions and prices
are nominally unchanged, viz: For bulk
shoulders 15}c; sides 18£c; mess pork $34 ;
lard 21}a22c for city: 22£a23c for Western,
and 24c for refined (Baltimore) in kegs.
Review of (be Sew York Market?.
New York, June 25 p. m.
The money market remains extremely easy,
with the supply largely in excess of the do
mand; National bank currency is very plenty
and can be borrowed for five or ten days by
returning legal tenders. Call loans range
from 4 to 5 per cent.
The Gold market became stronger as the day
drew to a close, and the last sales were at
151§a154f. This upward turn is due in part
to tue decreasing in the Banks here, and the
prospect of the passage of the tariff bill. Thu
Government securities were firm this after
noon, but rather quiet. At the second regu
lar and last open Board, the market was firm -
er; in the railroads Erie taking the load. At
the afternoon Board there was a very full
meeting, and considerable excitement and ac<
tivity on the stock shares. United States was
the favorite among the petroleum stock, and
rose to 900.
