Young women looking tip pic-nic costume

ugliest creature known to civilization.
They're going to have a good deal of fun in
San Francisco on the 2d of July. They're go

Sportsmen eudeavoring to cultivate fish in
streams connecting with the Mississippi below

Homebody impertinently wants to know what

Hecretary Delano desires to be let severely

Dr. Nancie Morclle, who lately reached In

where she has already obtained an extensive

of tho Hindoos that they can kindly overlook
that “io” termination to such a name as Nancy.
The verdict of the coroner’s Jury in the case
of the liostou drug-store explosion casts &ide
the sewer gas aud soda-water theories, and
attributes the catastrophe to the “careless or

expl sive"by some person or persons unknown.
Which is about as satisfactory as coroners'
verdicts iu general.
The Japanese Government has established
pharmaceutical laboratories for the analysis of
drugs at Yeddo, Kiyoto and Osaka, and de

example which Christian civilization would do
well to follow.
Texan school boys, when the teacher whips
them with uudiio severity, don’t trouble their
parents to make coniplaiuts before the Com

way little Master Powell managed it the other
day, and tho whole school has a holiday until a
new bullet proof predagogne can le procured.
Anew railroad from New York to Long Is

signabzed by an excursion and banquet. The
President of the United States was present at
both. At tho banquet he sat at the head

marked that this countenance was molded into
an expression of great indecision as to what lie

People see things differently. For instaneo.
the terrible earthquake that recently destroyed
Han Joso de Cncuta, in Colombia. When the
catastrophe began, most of tho inhabitants
went down upon their knees and prayed for
relief and mercy. Yet, in the midst of tho
scene, when tho oartli was heaving, buildings
falling, and the dying groans and shrieks of
men, women aud children filling the air, a wild
horde of demoniacal thieves and robbois
swarmed into the towns, sacking houses, pil
laging bank vaults. au<l plundering the dead,
and even murdering. If an oartliqiitko will
not quicken man’s cousoience, there is no tell

'i’he memorable feat of that Yorkshire
woolen manufacturer who sat down to dinner
at 7 o'clock in a suit made from wool which was
sheared from tho Mheop after sunrise on tho
morning of the same day, lias been rivaled by
a man in Chautauqua county, N. Y., who lately
had a pair of Angora goats sheared at miuriso,
their tiooco carded, spun, woven, dyed and
finished, and the cloth mado into a fashionable
dress which his wife wore at sunset. The
cloth was ready to ho made up early in the af
ternoon. Four dressmakers at once took it in
hand, aud at tho appointed tinio not a flounce
or a furbelow was lacking or imperfectly
flushed.
Wo cannot commotul it as an altogether
politic or tomporato way of closing up tho gags
between the North and South, but the plan in
this instance seems to have been entirely suc
cessful. Home South Carolina soldiers in Bos
ton, drinking with some friends the day after
the Bunker Hill Centennial, exhibited amark
od interest in tho entrance of a stranger and
eyed lira closely. Soon tho Carolinian asked
him if ho knew him. “No.” “Wore you not
in the war?” “Yes.” “And you were once
stationotl in such a place ?” “Yes.” “And
took part in such a skirmish?” “Yes.” “Well,
1 thought so,” said tho Southerner, lifting his
hat and disclosing a largo scar on liis forehead
“there is your sabre-mark, my boy. Como up
and take a drink.” Aud thoy tipped their
glasses and drank each otlior's Centennial
health.
Mr. George Bancroft, tho historian, who, in
tho course of his reading, lias had occasion to
acquaint himself pretty thoroughly wiMi tho
nation’s affairs since its infancy, has written a
letter to Mayor Cobb, of Boston, reminding
him of the fact that, on tho 29th of October,
1781, Congress pledged the country to build a
monument at Yorktown, commemorating tho
achievement of American independence. That
monument has never been orected, and the
pledge seems to havo passod out of mind. Mr.
Bancroft suggests that tho whole oouutry unit©
in (Hititioning Congress to rodoorn the pledge.
The Mayor referred the matter to the City
Council, and a committee has boon appointed
to act upon tho correspomleuco. Now that pa
triotism is at a fever heat, and tho whole land
in an xtacy of emotional centennial insanity,
it would bo well to proceed about tho matter
quickly.
The agonies of Brooklyn reporters of some
of the evening pApors, when tho hour for go
ing to prows draws noar. must be horrible to
witness. Hero are the frautio dispatches from
across tho river printed in a “fourth edition”
yesterday : “3 o’clock p. in.—The jurors are
at dinner. 3:05 o’clock p. ill. —Tho Judge has
Just entered his private room Mr. Tilton,
Who had boon sitting there, arose aud left
with a polite bow. In a short time the Judge
came out. 3:15 o'clock p. m.—Judge Neilson
has returned to his room and lighted a cigar.
3:30 o'clock p. m.—Tho jury have gone into
Judge MoCue's room. Whelan wore a farmer’s
satin sack.” But if a crowd of people will
stand for hours in the hot sun in the hope of
an occasional glimpse of the soles of a juror's
boots projecting from the window, why should
not other crowds devour with interest just
such bulletins as these?
Tho Palace Hotel, now nearing completion,
in San Francisco, is the largest hotel strnctuVe
in the world. It covers 9-1.250 square foot of
ground, anil is sevon stories high; 24,661,0(k)
bricks were used in its walls, 3.000 tous of cast
and wrought iron; and 4,561.524 foot of lum
ber ami timber. It contains 1,0 k) windows.
377 of which aro bay windows; 926 rooms, none
of less size thau 16x10 feet, and 388 batli
poonis. It contains over throe miles of halls ;
there are five passeßger elevators aud seven
grand stairways; there are 5.540 doors, 9.000
gas burners, and thirty-two miles of gas and
water pipe. It requires 50.000 yards, or twenty
eight miles of carpet. It can accommodate
1,2u0 guests, besides 360 servants and em
ployes. And, best of all, there is not a dark or
windowless room in the house. It lias been
decided to sun a length of heavy plale glass,
sixteen inches high, along the top of the bal
usters and balustrades, as a precaution against
accidents by children sliding down the balus
ters or climbing tbo balustrades. This plate
glass will reflect the gas jets, and at night the
interior courts will present a dazzling scene.
The new cigar stamp proposed by the Inter
nal Be venue Bureau does not seem to meet the
approval of cigar manufacturers throughout
the country. By this plan, iu addition to the
stamp now placed on the outside of the box,
coupous attached to the stamp are to be placed
on each cigar before it is packed in the box.
The manufacturers are unanimous in coudemn-
iug the adoption of tliis design. They say it
will involve much additional labor and time,
and will materially add to the cost of cigar
making. The stamp will have to be fastened
to the cigar with paste or gum. and no matter
whero it was placed would cause annoyance to
ttie consumer. The present law, 'tis claimed, is
sufficiently expliait ou this subject, and it
would be a very ea-y matter to see that it was
enforced. All stamps on boxes must be de-
by[ the retail dealer upon opening the
box. and a careful system of inspection would
soon put an end to any fraudulent nse of old
boxes. Another objection urged by the manu
facturers is. that under the proposed system a
large outlay would be required on the part of
the manufacturers which wonld bo very oner
ous and restrict their business. Under the
present system they do not stamp their cigars
until they are sold, bnt were the new plan
adopted they would have to stamp their cigars
as they packed them. As it is now the manu
facturers think that there are some frauds by
men who manufacture ou a small scale at their
homes, but they say that they are comparative
ly few, and that they do not think the revenue
suffers to any considerable extent under the
system now in operation, as the precautions
adopted by the Government are very thorough
aud are impossible to be evaded in any manu
factory of any importance.

years. Said lease has expired, and tho
heirs nro taking steps to eject the pres
ent occupants and reclaim their prop
erty. The valuo of tho property is now
many millions. Our frieml Murray is a
little nervous about tho matter, and
talks more of his good fortune aud less
of sewing machines and iusurunee than
formerly.
The Crops,
Newton Connty—Tho wheat crop is
now nearly all threshed and housed, in
this connty. The yield has been very
good, generally, and the crop is above
an average one.
Coweta County—A correspondent
says: ‘‘Crops in this county, both corn
aud cotton, are unusually fine up to the
present time. If the seasons should
continue some four weeks longer, I
think as good or perhaps better crops
will be made this year than any one
since the war.”
Jones County—A correspondent says
crops iu this county are moderately fair.
Corn generally small, but with a fine
color. Rain a plenty from now on will
briug a good yield. Cotton promising,
stands good, crop clean and growth vig
orous; area about the same as last year;
yield will probably be mitoh greater
thau last year.
Jackson Connty—A letter from this
county, of Juue 25, says wheat is better
than was expected. The yield is not an
average ouo but the quality is probably
superior to that of last year. Corn
rather small for the season owing to tho
lateness of the Spring and tho heavy
raius, but a bountiful crop is expected.

Spalding, Pike and Butts Counties—
Leading farmers in these counties re
port favorably as to crops. Some
prophecy a larger crop of corn and cot
ton than for years.
Emanuel County—The agricultural
outlook iti this county is reported cheer
ing. A fine area has been devoted to
provision crops, and all is looking well,
though there has been some lack of rain.
McDuffie County—To the 80th ult.
crops in this county are represented as
growing with wonderful rapidity. The
rains have been copious and general,
Without wind or hail enough to do much
damage.
Lincoln County—The latest from this
county represents crops in fine condi
tion. Corn small for the time of year,
bnt healthy and growing; cotton small
bnt vigorous; wheat crop excellent; Fall
oats very good; Spring oats almost a
failure.
Muscogee County—The Columbus En
quirer, of June 30th, says : “ A mer
chant, who has traveled extensively
throughout this section, reports com on
uplands well nigh ruined. Cotton is
strong and healthy looking, bnt back
ward. With good seasons, a good crop
can be made. He has seen cotton in
other years about this date look one
hundred per cent, better.
METHODISTS IN COUNCIL.
Augusta District Conference.
Wabrenton, July 3d, 1875.
Editor* Chronicle and Sentinel :
The Augusta District Conference of
Methodist Churches, located in the
counties of Richmond, Columbia, Mc-
Duffie, Warren, Hancock and Baldwin
met last Thursday in this pleasant little
town of Warrenton. I suppose that
your readers may desire to know some
thing abont the Conference and its pro
ceedings, and, therefore, send you this
brief “correspondence.” Tho District
Conference must not be confounded
with another larger body of Methodists
which meets annually, aud embraces the
ministers and lay delegates of the upper
half of Georgia, called the North Georgia
Annnai Conference. This present as
sembly is resembled by the associations
of the Baptist Churches and the presby
teries of the Presbyterian Churches in
being confined to a small area of terri
tory. The Presiding Elder of the Dis
trict is Rev. Mr. Bigham, whose juris
diction covers the counties above
named, and embraces fifty churches,
having five thousand members,and served
by fourteen ministers, an average of
three hundred aud fifty members to each
minister. .
The Conference assembled at 4, p. m.,
Thursday. Bishop William M. Wight
man, a man of thorough scholarship,
fervent piety and eminent pulpit ability,
being present, presides over the body.
The session begnu well. The churches
were well represented, and when the
preliminaries of organization were end
ed a pleasing introduction of the cur
rent of good feeling was made by a
touching talk from Rev. Mr. Duncan, so
long known in Georgia for his devotion
to the Christian cause. Mr. Duncan is
now nearly blind, and he is old. His
voice has lost somewhat of that tnnefnl
uess that once delighted thousands of
hearers. But his mind is yet clear aud
his heart warm. I would write out his
remarks, but they would be spoiled by
pen and type. When he ended his af
fecting speech someone requested bin:
to sing. Those who heard him yeara
ago, aud felt tho power of the Gospel in
song then, were auxions to hear him
again, aud those who knew him by his
fame were equally eager. None were
disappointed. The same voice, but
weaker. The same melody, only softer.
The same power—less thrilling, but
more subdning.
The introductory sermon was preach
ed at night by the pastor of St.
John’s Chnrch, Augusta, Rev. C. A.
Evans, and on yesterday morning Dr.
Haygooil, the General Secretary of the
Sunday School interest, aud at night
Dr. Kennedy, editor of the Southern
Christian Advocate also preached.
Bishop Wightman preached his first
sermon before tho Conference this
morning. The congregations densely
pack the church and the religious in
terest deepens. Last night more than
thirty persons knelt as unconverted
seekers of saving grace.
The business of the Conference is con
ducted during the early morning hours
and in the afternoon. The reports to
tho present writing made by representa
tives of the churches are generally very
favorable. Augusta was first called,
and gratifying statements were made of
the progress of the church there. Tho
reports show that the Methodists have
over fourteen hundred white members
in that city, and that over ouo hundred
aud twenty-five have been added this
year by conversion. St. John’s Church
was mentioned by the Bishop as “The
Mother of Many Churches,” and to
gether with those thrifty and zealous
daughters, St. James and Asbury, was
commended as examples to ail. St.
Luke’s Mission, of which Rev. Mr. Key
is the pastor, was reported in a most
promising Tho churches
throughout Richmond, Columbia, Mc-
Duffie aud Warrou have been reviewed,
all the reports attracting attention. The
practical value of these reports and of
the brief and pointed discussions, ques
tions and answers, must bo very great.
They cover evory conceivable interest,
ineluding Sunday Schools, prayer meet
ings, preaching, finances and church
work generally, with tho Methodist eye
single to the spiritual condition of the
membership.
Dr. Haygood and Dr. Kenneday are
visitors an<t not members. Rev. Mr.
Davies is also present as a visitor, and
so also Mr. Duncan. Among the per
sons most observed is your warm and
zealous townsman Miller Willis, who
occupies a seat in the Conference by
special vote. Mr. Willis preaches all
day from place to place iu liis quiet,
earnest and humble way. Men whom
preachers do not reach are reached by
him.
Mr. Sherman and Mr. Royal, of St.
James’ Church, give life to the singing,
and now and then I hear the mellow
voice of a sweet ■ Christian young lady
who is a member of Mr. Sweeny’s
church, in Augusta. Mr. Derry, famous
as a Sunday school man, is on hand to
tell what he knows about Sunday schools,
and among other laymen of mark in the
Conference I now recall Judge Pottle,
Mr. Little, Capt. Crawford, Dr. Hubert,
Dr. Warren, Professors Derry, Pierce
aud Newell.
Everybody is in good humor. War
reuton eutertaius in affluence of good
cheer. The weather is hot, but sultry,
as a preacher is said to havo announced
once very gravely that liis remarks would
be short but brief. However, a good
rain fell last night aud the air is cooler
to-day. The Conference meeting closes
to-morrow, but in all probability the re
ligious services will be continued.

GLEANINGS FROM GOTHAM.
The Congnr Will Case Decided Loss
of a Valuable Mail Bag.
New York, July 3. —The Congar will
case, so long pending before the Surro
gate, has been decided by the rejection
of the will, oq the ground that the tes
tatrix was of unsound mind when she
executed tire testament. She willed tho
most of her property to religious organ
izations, including a quarter of a million
to foreign missions.
The Marine Bauk recently lost a mail
bag containing thirty-four tlionsand dol
lars’ wortli of drafts. The missing mail
contained remittances from several East
ern cities end Baltimore.
Edward Connors, one of the witnesses
for Loader in the conspiracy trial, and
who was arrested on the charge of biga
my, was brought up to-day on habeas
corpus, when the bail was fixed at $3,-
000, which the prisoner is endeavoring
to find.
Monday will be a full holiday here.
All the public offices, exchanges, etc.,
will be closed, aud the day given up to
the celebration.
Robert Dale Owen, the celebrated
spiritualist, is insane.
The officers of the Direct Cable Com
pany say that for about ten days after
the connection was established the com
pany sent dispatches about their own
business through the cable as well as
private dispatches for their friends. It
was found, however, that a fault existed
which, although not a serious one, was
of moment enough to induce the com
pany to require the makers of the cable
to repair it before it was accepted. The
fault was located, and a vessel was sent,
out to repair it. On Thursday a dis
patch was received through the cable
from the vessel saying that it was ex
pected that the work wonld be completed
by yesterday, bnt no further intelligence
from the vessel has been received.
THE NATIONAL GRANGE.
Proposition from the British Farmers
—The Headquarters.
Washington, July 3. —The Executive
Committee of the National Grange con
tinued their session to-day in this city.
Dr. Worrall, representing the co-opera
tive societies of the Highlands, was in
troduced to the committee and submit
ted for the consideration a proposition
for fraternal co-operation between the
Patrons of Husbandry and the Co
operators of England. Dr. Worrall has
four associates en route, who are daily
expected, to aid him in effecting his ob
ject. A sub-committee, consisting of
Mr. D. T. Chase, of New Hampshire,
and J. T. Jones, of Arkansas, was ap
pointed to take the whole subject under
consideration and report at the next
meeting of the committee on Monday
next. The committee also had under
consideration the removal of the head
quarters of the National Grange, bnt
reached no conclusion. Four cities—
Nashville, Louisville, Indianapolis and
Cincinnati—offer special inducement.
Cincinnati is especially anxious to
secure the headquarters and proposed
to send a delegation of prominent citi
zens to Washington to confer with the
Executive Committee, but the latter
notified them that they must submit
their proposition in writlug and that no
delegation would be received. A propo
sition looking to the improvement of
the business interest of the order was
referred to a sub-committee. The snm
of SSOO was donated to-day to the Pa
trons in Colorado suffering from the
ravages of the grasshoppers.
Never Do Things by Halves.
San Francisco, July 3.—The Bulletin
this p. m. publishes details of startling
developments in the case of Miller, the
defanlting Secretary of the Western De
velopment Company, the substance of
which is that his name is not Miller bnt
Woodruff, that the defalcation is greater
than was at first supposed, and that it
will probably reach from a half to one
million dollars. Large sales of real es
tate by Miller to Woodruff were discov
ered as being a transfer to himself.
MODERN ROMAN VIRTUE.
The Monti is a quarter of Rome, the
inhabitants of which pride themselves
upon the purity of their Roman blood,
and their long, though plebeian pedi
grees. They esteem it better to lie a
plebeian Roman than a patriotic modern
Italian. They thus hold themselves
above the mongrel Roman rabble of to
day. In this quarter there was a beau
tiful aud virtuous girl of 23 years uamed
Filomena Bicci. She is described as
carrying “ a head like an antique carved
gem.” Her virtue and goodness even
exceeded her beauty, and all her neigh
! bors pointed her out to their daughters
as an example of modesty and industry.
A few months since Filomena had the
misfortuue to marry a worthless idle
fellow who had no resemblance of Ro
man virtue iu him. Her friends told her
it was too bad to throw herself away
upon a lazy, drunken cur, bnt she wonld
do it. In a very short while she left him
aud returned to her mother’s honse. He
waqf-ed to make merchandise of her
beauty, and abased her because she
would not engage in such a traffic. She
left her brutal husband without a quar
rel. She went to work with several of
her female acquaintances in a granary,
and her husband tried every means in
his power to induce her to return to
him. If she had not refused she would
not have beeu Filomena Bicci. One day
her husband came to the place where
she worked, before the granary doors
were opened, aud renewed his persecu
tions in the presence of a large unmber
of women waiting for the master of the
honse to come with his key. He said :
“ Either give me money or go along with
me.” She was silent and did not move.
Then the husband, in the presence
of those others, stabbed his wife twice in
the stomach and breast and ran away.
The screams of the women attracted a
number of men who pursued the vil
lain. Filomena died surrounded by her
friends before the granary door. The
pursuers caught the murderer under the
arch of Titus, and would have torn him
to pieces had it not been for the inter
ference of the police, who were not
pure-blooded Romans. The body of
the beautiful Filomena was taken to the
Hospital of the Consolaziono, and all
her friends in the Monti subscribed
from their earnings to give their model
Roman wife the last tribute of respect
in a funeral worth dying for. When
the subscription was made up it was
found they had enough money to en
gage the first-class municipal hearse
and a handsome coach for the
curate. They had expected to
carry tlieir dead friend to the
grave on tlieir shoulders, but they
could now afford better style—thanks to
the liberal subscription. A loug proces
sion of women was formed, each woman
carrying a wax torch. Those who could
afford it wore black dresses ; those who
could not wore a black shawl or hand
kerchief. A line baud, composed of
workingmen, played funeral music,
marching ahead of the hearse, which
was strewn with laurel wreaths and
sweet flowers. Thus, Filomena was car
ried to the cemetery through the long,
winding streets of the Monti, amid tho
tears and lamentations of the populace.
So those Roman working people cele
brated the unsullied virtues of their
friend in her funeral, and the moral
effect of this plebiau procession was bet
tor, probably, than all the orations and
sermons ever pronounced in Rome. It
was a touching public recognition of
goodness. Filomena Bicci was “butch
ered to make a Roman holiday,” but
one that was filled with love ami
worship.
THE ABORIGINEE.
A Bad State of Affairs.
St. Louis, July 3.—C01. Boudinot,
who lias just returned from the Indian
Territory, says twenty-seven murder
cases haS just been disposed of by the
United States District Court at Fort
Smith, Arkansas, before which tribunal
all criminal cases from the Indian Na
tion are brought. Out of this number
eight prisoners were eonvicted of mur
der in the first degree; seven of the
convicted, including two boys seventeen
and nineteen years old, will be hanged
together od the third of September next.
The eighth, a negro, was killed after
liis conviction while attempting to es
cape from the guard. Much outlawry
prevails in Indian Territory. Ten men
have been killed iu the vicinity of Fort
Smith within a few months. Avery
bitter contest is now going on in the
Cheokee nation between the Ross aud
Downing parties for the position of
chief. Rumors of conspiracies and as
sassinations are rife. Colonel W. P.
Ross, the present chief, is a candidate
for re-election, and a man named
Thompson is the candidate for the
Downing party.
An extract from the Bozman (Mon
tana,) Times says the Nezperces and
Bannock Indians have combined against
the Sioux. The Sioux are being over
powered.

WOMAN’S RIGHTS.—ONE WHO HAS LONG
studied this absorbing subject now presents to tho
women of our country the result of bis investiga

covered “Woman’s Best Friend.” It is adapted

acts like a charm iu “whites,” or in a sudden check
of the “monthly courses,” from cold, trouble of

is prompt aud decisive, and saves the constitution
from countless evils and premature decay. This

General Remarks.
The Augusta markets ■ have retained their
dullness with few exceptions during the past
week. Bacon has been excited and all grades
have advanced fully three-quarters of a cent
since our last weekly review. Wheat has de
clined ten cents a bushel, and the demand is
limited. The general provision market is un
changed aud business confined strictly to the
legitimate trade.

Money remains it statu g*o. The demand
has decaeased somewhat, but there is still a
considerable amount of business paper offer

hanks on comparitively easy terms, where the
security is good. Other institutions have no
money to lend at presen*, having already
placed all their surplus funds in general circu-

As intimated in our preliminary remarks,
the bacon market has been excited during the
week, and all grades are quoted up from a
half to throe-quarters of a cent. There is but
little on the market, however, and the supply
is altogether inadequate to meet the demand.
Wo quote :
Flour is quiet and a little down from our last
weekly quotations, as far as the city mills pro
duct is concerned. The supply of Western is
not very large, but is sufficient to meet the de
mand.

New York Dry Goods Market.
[New York Buklin, June 29.]
Most of the jobbers are taking stock or pre
paring to do so, and are consequently buying
very few goods, and business with the commis
sion houses is exceedingly quiet, but not more
so than is usuqjly experienced at this season
of the year. There is still a fair demand for
small assorted lots of cotton goods, Ac.,
through the medium of orders which aro sent
forward by the country to tailers, aside from
which the jobbing trade is quito sluggish. The
Slater Woolen Company and Webster Cotton
Company, for which Messrs. S. Slater & Son,
83 and 85 Thomas street, are selling agents,
will on the first of July suspend production for
the present. Cotton goods are moving slowly
from first hands, although a few orders are be
ing received from tlio Western jobbers, "'hero
is no pressure to sell on the part of represen
tative leading accounts, but as usual holders of
outside makes are anxious to get rid of their
accumulations, and in ordor to do so price and
time concessions are offered in some cases,
but without groatly stimulating the demand.
Brown sheetings aue shirtings are in limited
request only, but aro held with comparative
firmness in first hands. Bleached sheetings and
shirtings are generally slow, although a few of
the most popular makes of medium and fine
shirtings, such as New York Mills, Wamsutta.
Fruit of Loom, Loasdale, <fco., are in steady
demand for small lots. Eaglo AA 4-4 shirtings
aro now held by the agents (Coffin A Altemus),
at 8c net. Colored cottons of all descriptions
are moving slowly, being only taken in such
small parcels as aro found necoseary for keep
ing up assortments in jobbers’ hands. Boiled
Jacconets are in better demand, and tho sup
ply of desirable shades suitable for the Fall
trade is on : y moderate. I’riooß remain un
changed at the low ruling figures. Print
cloths continue quiet, and prices for extra
standard G4x64 makes have receded to 51c
with a drooping tendency. Prints are very
quiet in agents’ hands, especially sideband
stylos, which have almost entirely gone out of
favor with buyers for many sections of the
country. Several of the mills are running on
dark work, and others will follow early in July,
including the Bristol Print Works, which will
resume operations on tho fith of that month.
Woolen goods present no new features of im
portance, and aro rather sluggish. Tho cloth
Jobbers are buying very few goods apart from
such job lots of cassimeres. Ac.. as they can
obtain, but increased activity on tlioir part is
expected with the opening of next month-
Facod makes of overcoatings continue (lull,
but ulsters, elysiana and fur beavers are in
steady request, and generally fitm in price.—
The agents for several leading maaes of
blankets will establish their prices for the sea
son early in July.

WEEKLY REVIEW..
Daring the week at the Cottpn Exchange
there has been small business, with unsettled
tope in the market. The demand for spot cot
ton was chiefly for spinners, and merely for
small lots to meet immediate wants. Export
ers have been doing nothing, as foreign advi
ces have not been favorable aud accounts of
prospective crops indicate a large yield. Specu
lative dealings were rather tame, as tho stock
is now sb much reduced as to be easily han
dled and some slight indications cf a corn or in
August contracts led operators to believe that a
movement was on foot and prices immediately
advanced. Other months were but slightly
affected.
