There arc come men who wonld try to prore Jereey lightning beneficial for the system, if it were only * little harder to take. The man that Mine Victoria Yokes knocked down with her silver-handled parasol hasn't been caught ret, bat they are looking for him! They expect to recognize him by the dent in his head. The fact that Mr. Beecher has totally es caped the hay fever this Hammer is attributed by some thoughtful people to the recent opinion expreseed by the action of his congre gation. that all flesh isn’t grass. The statement traveling through the press that St. Louis barbers find it necessary to use a lawn mower on tho cheek of Chicago drum mers, is a mistake. The usual tool is a small bnzz saw with diamond pointed teeth. They recognize watermelons now as proper ty in Texas. Texas may have been a little be hind at one time in the grand march of civili zation, but now. that she has given her mind to it, she comes np with a hop, skip and jump. Two Philadelphia lawyers made arrange ments to fight a duel, recently, and the man who knows where they are now would have to make a map to convey anything like a correct idea of their whereabouts. That a bloody meeting should fail to come off in a place i where death has been made so attractive is one of those strange, exceptional facts that at times will obtrude themselves to shame our feeble reason. Two of the monkeys at the Jardin des Plantes, at Paris, fought a duel with knives the other day. By some accident two large clasp knives were left by one of the keepers in the cage of the animals, and no sooner had thoy been |ierceived than two of the largest monkeys seized them, opened the blades, and fell upon each other like a pair of men. One of them was killed at the first pass, whilst his adversary had one of his paws nearly cut off. The New York Bulletin says the indications are that the demand for goods for Southern hovers wili he larger than for several previous years, while the outlook iu other respects is favorable to a more spirited general trade dnriug tho incoming month. There are a good many Southern and Western merchants in the markets, and the leading dry goods jobbers ars busily engaged in forwarding well assorted stocks of merchandise to remote sections of the oountry. Apropos of the Keeley Motor, we shall now have a season and scries of astonishing inven tions. There is a man in Borne, N. Y., who lias a machine nearly perfected which will pump its own water and run itself withont fire or steam. The inventor calculates that when the thing is “ fully developed" the patent will he north *1,000,000. All lie want* now is a little money and a balance wheel weighing about fifteen ponuds. A negro was sent to Claremount (Pa.) Workhouse the other day for disorderly con duct. who declared that he was one of Georgo Washington's servants. Ho exhibited a silver badge, on one side of which was engraved “Win. 11. Orahim, born July 4, 1772, body guard of General Washington.” On the re verse was: “Of General Andrew Jackson, draws a pension of six dollars a month." Notwith standing iiis record the old man was con demned to toil in the brick yard for thirty days. Hr. Kenealy has protested in Parliament against tho lenity of Oolouol Baker's sentence. Tichbome is sentenced to hard labor, but Ba ker is sentenced to imprisonment without hard labor. Kenoaly thought this no punishment. But a momhor mentioned that when tho loarn od doctor was once found guilty of brutal truatmeutuf his illegitimate son. and sent to prison for a mouth, lie thought tiie penalty severe enough, though there was no hard labor in it. Kenoaly thought this reference to his personal history unnecessary and unpardon able. Complaints of the ravages of rabbits in Ne vada continue. Tho Virginia Enterprise says: “They destroyed acres of wheat and barley early iu the season, and are now turning their attention to vegetables. At the Sonoma ranch they liavo commenced on potatoes, and are eating the stalks np rapidly and turning their attention to the roots. The valley is repre sented as being alive with thorn, and it is said they are fully as destructive as crickets, grass hoppors or asy of the other posts that infest ranchos.” Tlie Bev. Pathor Bomy, a missionary, lias just arrived in England from Thibet. The Fall Mail Gaulle says that ho luado a number of conversions there under rather peculiar cir cumstances. fie was condemned to he quar tered, aud liiß legs and arm* were attached to four horses. But either the ahbo's limbs wero uncommonly strong or elso the horses were uncommonly weak, for ho resisted all ef forts. Htruck with admiration at his boroic conduct his persecutors embraced the martyr and lus religion ; certainly a signal triumph for muscular Christianity. Brooklyn shows tho facility with which taxa tion and debt increase in cities whore the mu nicipal central iB given into the hands of po litical rings. In 18G0 that city, with a popula tion of 2t56,6f11. had a total indobtodness of *fl, 100,IKK), or about *22 per capita of Inhabit ants. To-day, although her population—4B3,- •253—is not quite double what it was iu 1800, her debt has increased seven-fold, being *41.857,- 020, a little les than *9O per capita. With this increase of debt comes an increase in the tax levy, which grew from *4,300,000 in 1800 to *13,000,(K)0 in 1874. The taxable proporty, like tho population, has only about doubled within the past fifteen years, wliilo tho taxos, owing to the corrupt misappropriatiation of city funds and malfeasance in ollice of city offir oials, have increased about throe lmudred per cent. Anew lighting apparatus has been invent ed iu Germany, the advantage of which ap pears to be that it can bo atltxod to all gas jets, and is made to act, not by any special mechanism, but simply by tho increased pres sure of the gas. which is always laid ou from the gasometer when the lamps should bo lighted. The act of turning on tho gas at the main ignites it at all tho burners fitted with this apparatus. Another feature of this in vention is tho arrangements by which, when tlie pressure is diminished at the main, the gas can either be totally extinguished or let down to a throat). By the use of this apparatus, as soon as tho gas is turned on. a whole city may be simultaneous illuminated, and when, in tho early morning, the pressure is reduced, the light may l>o completely extinguished or gradually diminished, as necessity may ro il lure. The Supreme Conrt of tho United States has recently decided a legal question of im portance touching the extent of the authority of military governments in tho Sonth. It arose at New Orleans, where the Mayor and city government, appointed by military au thority, executed a lease of certain property for a term of years. The duration of the lease extended after the expiration of the military rule. Tlie Court holds that, as a general prin ciple. the contracts of the conqueror touching things iu the couqnered territory cease With the military occupation, and with this principle it will not interfere ; but that, nevertheless, a fair and reasonable exercise of military au thority must be respected, eveu after the military government is at an end. The Conrt does not in the decision desire to set a prece dent, and therefore, whilst it confirms the lease until the expiration of the original term, it desires the decision to apply Only to the peculiar circumstances of this*particular case. At last she completely cored him. For mouths site had patiently endured the (range so many thousands of young wives aro com pelled to suffer. Almost every morning at breakfast the heartless husband expressed the hope that ho might live to see the day when he should get such coffee as he used to hare at home. Or such com bread as his mother was wont to make and bake. At dinner the meat was overbaked in the range. To be sure his mother used to roast the meat iu an old fashioned Dutch tin oven, and the piece was always done to a turn —tlie last torn of the re volving spit. Those days were forever gone. But he might aud ought to get such a green apple pie with new cheese as his mother used to give him. At length the long suffering wife arose iu her wrath, upset the table, sending the dishes aud their contents crashing to the carpet, stndedover to her astonished hnsband. gave him a box on the ear which knocked him off Ins chair, and remarked : “The's a clip over the head for you, such as your mother used to give you when you was a boy, goldern yer." Thereafter there was domestic peace and quiet in that house, with never even an allusion to the maternal cookery and comforts of the bygone days. It may be trne. as sometimes stated, that the pen is mightier than the sword ; but it is evident that, at Vicksburg. Mississippi, at least, the pistol, with its modern improve ments, has a little the advantage of the pen.— The statement having been made that fonr of the editors of the Vicksburg Herald had been ktiled in as many months, the Herald says that is nothing to the mortality in the office of its cotetnporarv, the Vicksburg Cwatintj, which had five of its editors killed and then died it self It enumerates : “Dr. James Hagan, the first on the list, was killed in a street encoun ter by the late Gen. D. W. Adams; Walter Hickey, another, was killed in a duel in Texas: Mr. Ryan, the third, was killed opposite Vicks burg in a duel with the late Richard Hammett, who was a journalist himself, and the editor of the W hig, two others. John Jenkins and W. D. Roy, were lulled in the streets of the city.” But, according to his own confession, the edi tor of the Ueraiii exchanged shots many years ago with Dr. Hagan, the first named of the above victims, and received a ballet in his body from the doctor's weapon, and subse quently bad an affair of honor with Col. Isaac M. Partridge, then editor of the W hig, and sent the Whig turn off with a broken leg. i THK GRANGERS. Semi-Annual Meeting of the Savannah Kiver Valley Association. The semi-annnal meeting of the Sa vannah Kiver Valley Association, Patrons of Husbandry, took place at Girardey’s Opera House yesterday. The sessions of the Association were held with closed doors.

Tho warehouse did a fine business last year and the stockholders are fully satisfied. KILLED 11Y IIIS BROTHERS. A Terrible Tragedy In the Horse Markel of Oiucluuatl— Kicked and Beaten to Death. Many of our readers have seen about the livery and sale stables in this city two horse drovers named Thornes and Nicholas Moran. A few yeqrs ago they visited this market every Winter, bring ing with them droves of horses, which they sold to planters in the vicinity. Four years ago last ; Winter the brothers had a dispute iu tho offieo of the Palace Stables one night. After some words Thomas Moran walked to the tire place, picked up a large heavy iron poker, rushed upon his brother Nicholas and struck him two tremendous blows on tho head with the implement. Nicholas fell to tho floor unconscious, tho blood rushing iu torrents from the wounds in his head. No one was in the office at tho timo besides tho brothers except Col. R. J. Wilson. Having but one arm Col. Wilson saw that there was but one way for him to prevent Thomas Moran from killing his brother. Jumping quickly before Thomas he stooped over the prostrate form of Nicholas so as to shield the latter’s head, and ordered Thomas to desist from his foul assault. Thomas obeyed. The wounded man was conveyed to the residence of a physician, by whom his wounds was dressed. One of tho blows had fractured the skull and was a serious affair. The patient, how ever, recovered, to assist his wonld be murderer iu a dastardly and fatal assault upon another brother four yoars after wards. The particulars of this latter crime we clip from an exohange: In the horse market of Cincinnati on Thursday a terrible tragedy was enact ed, two men jumping on their brother and kicking him to death. The parties to the terrible occurrence wore Thomas and Nicholas Moran, and the brother whom they killed was William, a man nearly sixty years of age. They were all horse traders, and had been for years actively engaged about the horse mar ket, buying, selling and looking up hoasos for possible purchasers. Thomas aud William were formerly in partnership in horse trading, aud were associated together about five years. They wero too inharmonious to get along successfully, however, aud dissolved the firm about Ist of January last. They had several hot debates over the sottling up of their partnership affairs. On Wednesday afternoon Thomas bought six horses for Mr. James Car ney, the profits from the sale of which wero to be divided between them. Yes terday morning William, impressed with tho belief that they had been bought on Thomas’ own account, pro cured a writ of replevin, attached the horses and had tho Deputy Sheriff to take them across the street to Thomp son’s stable, where be had been doing business since ho sold his own stable.— This aronsed Thomas’”wrath and Mr. Carney’s indignation, the latter claim ing that he had paid for the horses and that Thomas had only acted as an agent for him in their purchase. Nothing camo of the controversy, however, until about half-past three o’clock in the afternoon, when came The Killing. At the time named Wilson was stand ing in front of Ben Thompson’s sale stable, on the north side of the street, when his yonngor brother, Nicholas, who is a partisan of Thomas in the diffi culty betweeu them, came up and began to upbraid him for what he called his un brother treatment of Tom. It is hard to ascertainly exactly what words passed betweeu them, but they were hot and angry, and as they carried on the dis cussion witnesses ou the other side of the street say they walked tip and down the sidewalk in a threatening attitude toward each other, calling harsh names and brandishing their fists in a very ex cited manner. William, it seems, final ly turned his back on his brother aDd started to go away, when a taunt and a curse from the other caused him to half reverse his position and take rf few steps backward. In doing so he struck a chair that was on the sidewalk at a saloon door and fell heavily to the ground. Then it was that His Cowardly Brother, Thomas, who happened to be sitting in front of a stable on the opposite side of the street, and had not said a word while William was on his feet, found a fiendish opportunity to vent the spite that hail been rankling in his breast so long. As soon as he saw the old man down and stnnned by the fall, he rushed wildly across the street, and, with a brutality that shocked even the most hardened of the idling spectators, kick ed him time after time in the head, in the face, and about the body. Nick as sisted in the barbarism, kicking him two or three times, but more merciful than his brutish brother, sparing his head and face. The old man, stunned as he was by his fall, and with the base of his skull kicked in by his assailants, still tried to get up aud defend himself, bnt it was beyoud his strength. He succeeded in half getting up on one elbow, but then dropped back to breathe his last in the dust of the sidewalk, under the heels, not of the dnmb beasts among whom he had worked so many years, but of the human beings born o’f the same womb and suckled at the same breast as himself. We have said the cruel scene shocked even the hardened idlers who witnessed the spectacle of brothers pounding and mashing another to death, bnt it did not stir their sluggish blood into snch ani mation as to send them to the old man’s rescue. Not a man of all that saw the affray started to Motan’s aid nntii his brothers had given him a final kick and spumed him from them. It was just a shade more exciting to them than the dog fights they encourage in the streets every day, anS whether there were two or twenty on one was a matter of indif ference to them as long as they had the enjoyment of seeing somebody or some thing whipped. Even after the two brothers had left off kicking, there was no immediate attempt made to arrest them. Nick walked leisurely down the alley toward Fourth 3treet, and Thomas went across the street and took a seat in one of the stable doors, where he re mained nntii Captain Daylor arrested him, and took him to the Hammond street station house. Nick was arrested shortly afterward by Officer Wood yard and taken to the same station. Neither of them made any resistance, and re garded the matter as of bat little oon sequence until they were informed their brother was dead. Then, as they real ized the enormity of their crime, the terrible position they occupied before the law, and recalled, perhaps, the memory of happier days, when they and their victim dwelt in trne brotherly love, the agony of Cain came upon them. They did not rave or beat themselves, nor yet shed floods of tears. Bnt they sat in their doable cell, staring into each other’s face with a wild, despairing look, and ever and anon one wonld turn away from the little crowd of friends and curiosity seekers that forced them selves into the cell room, hide his face and qnietly weep. MYSTERIOUS MURDER. A Negro Woman’s Throat Cut. We learn that a brutal murder was committed in Burke county, near Ben nick’s Mill, last Monday. A negro wo man named Clara, abont thirty years of age, who lived on Dr. Miller’s place, left early Monday morning to go to a neighbor’s, where she had been engaged to do some washing. As she did not return Monday night inquiry was made at the neighbor’s in regard to her. It was then ascertained that she had not been there at all and that none of the people on the place had seen her. Search was at once instituted for her bnt np to Wednesday it proved nnavaiiing. On Wednesday a party who were ont looking for her saw a flock of bnzzards wheeling and circling over a clump of trees and bushes. They immediately proceeded to the spot and found the missing wo man lying dead with her throat cut from ear to ear. The bushes in the vicinity were mnch broken aud trampled, show ing conclusively that a violent straggle had taken place between the woman and her assailent. An inquest was held over the body and a verdict returned in ac cordance with the facts. The woman was an old servant of the Miller family and had remained with them from the end of the war to tho time of her death. She was highly prized by all the family as a good servant. Her hnsband had a qnarrel recently with a colored preacher and it is suspected that the latter killed the wife in order to be revenged on the hnsband. Dr. Miller, we understand, has offered a reward of one hundred dollars for the apprehension of the mur derer. SUICIDE BY HIS WIFE’S ADVICE. [From the Memphis Avalanche, August 22.] At half-past three o’clock yesterday afternoon F. A. Schreyer committed suicide at the county jail by taking a dose of strychnine. Last Wednesday he was taken suddenly ill and had vio lent convulsions. He remarked at that time to Jailer Jackson that he was going to take his case to the Supreme Court, but not of Tennessee. From remarks made then and since, it is now believed his sickness on Wednesday was caused by poison, but an overdose was taken and consequently did not provo fatal. Abont two o’clock yesterday afternooD an Avalanche reporter having occasion to visit the jail, walked into the room were Schreyer was lying and had a few miuntes conversation with him. He ap peared in good spirits, and spoke hope fully of being released, and going back to his home in Virginia. A few minntes after the reporter left Schreyer’s wife visited him, as it was her habit to do almost daily, and brought him his din ner. She was in the room but a short time, and when she started to leave him, Schreyer pressed her to remain longer. She replied that she could not, that she had an appointment with a person who wanted to rent her house, and she could not stay longer. Schreyer seemed dis tressed at her refnsul to stay, and said to her: “You do not care any thing for mo, and I am going to kill myself.” To this his wife replied: “Good ! Kill yourself ! You were better dead.” His wife then left, aud Schreyer tnrning to a fellow prisoner, who was allowed to sit in the room with him, and who witnessed this scene, said : “You heard what my wife said. I will do as she wants me to, aud kill myself.” The young man only laughed at him, and nothing more was said on that subject. About 3 o’clock Schreyer asked for a pencil, and tearing off the margin of a newspaper, wroto a note, placed it under his pillow, aud told the young man that if his wife called again, and he was asleep, to give her that note. He had been taking qninine at intervals during the day, and after writing the note, he asked for a littlo water in a cup, which was given him, and he dropped into it a powder and drank it. Particles of the powder dropped on the floor, which was examined after his deuth by Dr. Mar able and pronounced strychnine. A few minutes after taking the powder he informed the young man that he had taken poison, but it was of no use to send for a doctor as ho could not save him. Jailer Jackson was notified and upon being assured by Schreyer that he had taken poison, he sent off for a physician. Before a doctor could be procured, however, he was dead. THE FIRST STEAMBOAT. A Georgia Invention. [Atlanta Herald.] Tho following letter explains itself* and shows that the first steamboat ever constructed was the invention of a Georgian, and that it actually navigated the Savannah river long before Fulton built bis steamboat, which was seen suc cessfully in 1804. This is a historical reminiscenco of which all Georgians should bo proud. The letter is taken from the archives of the State. Augusta, September 26, 1790. Sib—l make no doubt but you have often heard of my steamboat, and as often heard it laughed at. Bnt in this I have only shared the fate of all other projectors, for it has uniformly been the custom of every country to ridicule even the greatest inventions uutil use had proved their utility. Iu not reducing my scheme to practice has been a little unfortunate for me, I Confess, and perhaps the people in general, but until very lately I did not think that either artists or material could be had in the place sufficient. However, necessity, that grand science of invention, has furnished me with an idea of perfecting my plan, almost en tirely with wooden materials, and by such workmen as may be got here ; and from a thorough confidence of its suc cess, I have presumed to ask your as sistance and patronage. Should I suc ceed agreeable to my expectation, I hope I shall discover that source of duty which such famers always merit, and should it not succeed, your reward must lay with other unlucky adventures. For mA to mention to yon all the advan tages arising from such a machine wonld be tedious and indeed qnite unneces sary, therefore I have taken the liberty just to state in this plain and humble manner my wish and opinion, which I hope you will excuse, and I shall re main either with or .without approba tion. Yonr Excellency’s most obedient and very hnmble servant, Wm. Longstreet. To Gov. "fillfair. Fixe Plantation to Rent. —We take pleasure in calling the attention of onr readers to the advertisement of the Eve place which appears in the Chronicle .and Sentinel this morning. The plan tation will be rented on the first Tues day in October of this year. It is well known in this section as the former property of William J. Eve, Esq., and as one of the finest plantations iu Geor gia, if not in the South. The land is Savannah trier bottom and exceedingly rich and productive—a great deal ef it being “made” by the alluvial deposits of the Savannah river. During the life time of Mr. Eve one hundred and eight measured bushels of com were made to the acre on a portion of it. This year the same land*—despite unfavorable sea sons—bids fair to yield seventy-five to eighty bushels of corn to the acre. The place produces unrivalled crops of cot ton and com and with poper cultivation will give magnificent returns to the planter. The land is as level as a parlor floor and retains every particle of fer tilizing material which it receives; upon the place is a nice dwelling and every necessary out-building. The plantation comprises six or seven hundred acres of heaw timber and sixteen or seventeen hundred acres of land in a high state of cultivation. Parties wishing a large re turn for their money will consult their interests by give the place an examina tion. CONSOLIDATION. The Western Gobbles Another Tele graph Company.

The general trade outlook has improved to a considerable degree during the past week, and merchants' faces wear a more cheerfnl look. It is true but few bales of the new cotton crop have been received, bnt it is well known that they are the avant couriers of the grand army, which will soon pour into the city. The dull season has, in fact, about come to a close, and a lively business may be expected daring the Fall and Winter. A immber of our merch ,nts have gone to the great trade centres of the North and West to lay in their stocks. It is evident that a busy season is approaching, and everybody, iu consequence, is recovering from the depression canse 1 by the almost unpre cedented dullness of the past fonr months. Comparatively little has been done during the current commercial week, bnt the tone of the markets generally has been firm. Provisions always find consumers, and the demand, therefore, for the staple commo dities in that line never fails. Tho eupply of bacon in the city is light, and not more than enough to supply the legitimate trade demand. Sides and bams continue nominally unchanged in quotations. Large lots of sides, however, could probably be purchased Blightly off from onr figures. We heard of one sale at 14f. Holders as a general rule demand an eighth more. The market is firm. Shoulders are up a little compared with our last week’s quota tions. Flour is unchanged. Our millers re port a fair demand for city ground. Western flour is scarce and in good demand. Wheat is quoted five cents lower than last week. Oats remain unchanged, as far as the mixed article is concerned. Red rust proof, a superior ar ticle, sells at *1 25 per bushel. Several farm ers in the vicinity are devoting themselves to the cultivation of this grain, and claim that in a few years they will be able to supply the Au gusta market. The general grocery market is practically unchanged. Sugars, especially ex tra C, are very firm, with an upward tendency. Coffees are also advancing, owing to late ad vices from Northern markets. Gunny bagging has advanced from 12 to 12} cen's. There is very little of it in the city.” Eggs have ad vanced steadily dnring the past three weeks, and are now quoted at 20 to 22 cents per dozen by the crate, and 25 cents at retail. The de mand for iron ties is increasing, but prices re main as in our previons review. Financial. We can hardly do more than repeat our last week’s remarks in regard to the financial situa tion. While the demand for money has in creased somewhat, very little paper, compara tively, has been discounted. A few bales of new cotton have been received, bnt not enough to give any decided tone to the market or to, add in a sunlike degree to the general circnla-’ tion. In a few weeks, however, all this will be changed. We quote Oold, Silver and Exchange: Gold.—Buying, 110(3112 ; selling at 114. Silver.—Baying, 102; selling at 106.

Cotton. As intimated aboVe, not enough new cotton has yet beon received to influence the market, which continues qniet and nominal. The stock on hand is much lighter than at the corres ponding date of last year. Receipts will in crease from this time forward, and affairs as sume a more business like aspect. As we es timated in the beginning of the season, the receipts at Augusta for 1874-75 will fall 20,000 bales, short of those last year.

New York Dry Goods Market, {New York Bulletin, 25/A.] There has been an undercurrent of activity in nearly all departments, and during the week under review a much bettor feeling per vaded the trade. Resident buyers for the larger Western, Southern and Southwestern jobbers received encouraging reports from the principal distributing points in the interior, ac companied by orders which required a liberal amount of goods for their execution. There has not, however, been the rush of former sea sons, and selections have been made with the utmost care, and in smaller quantities than at this time of year, which indicates a determina tion on the part of distributors to Duraue a safo and healthy business by replenishing their stocks from time to time with such goods as may be found necessary for the pursuance of current trade, instead of anticipating fu ture wantH. The jobbing trade has presented a steady and gradual improvement, and more general activity in this connection hc,s been noticed than for a long time past. The move ment has thus far been irregular, and while houses doing business with buyers for remote parts of the country effeoted sales to a censid erable aggregate amount, those whose trade is confined to local and near-by sections were comparatively quiet. The prospective outlook is by no means discouraging, and although the Fall trade maybe somewhat backward, the im pression has become general that the worst effects of the late panio have already been felt, and that retnming prosperity has at length commenced, and on a perfectly sound basis. The Passaic Print Works (W H. Locke) have been compelled to suspend pay ment and have been closed for tlie present These mills have been running seven machines on prints and three machines on satinets. Par ticulars relating to the suspension have not transpired. The Albion Print Works, at Coushohockon, nefcr Philadelphia, were totally destroyed by fire on the 21st instant, when running on full time, and employing about 300 hands. Tho Albion Mills have been running five machines on prints, and at the time of the fire about 18,000 pieces which were undergoing the various processes have been destroyed. The works were covered by insurance to tho amount of 4240,000 in various companies. Cot ton goods have remained in steady demand from agents hands, and an improved jobbing distribution has been developed in all season able descriptions. Package selections have been small as a rule, but the transactions of the week have been collectively large. Prices have undergone no fluctuations of importance, but have ruled steady, and some makes of four yard brown sheetings have become quite strong in view of their actual scarcity, but the general supply of manufactured cottons con tinues large and in excess of the probable con sumptive demand dospito the now curtailed production. Brown Blieetings and shirtings.— There has been a well snst&ined demand for popular makes of four-yard browns at firm prices, and such brands as Lawrence LL, Massachusetts 88, Agawam F, Ac., are sold ahead of production by agents. Hoavy stand ards and fine browns were also in steady re quest at current rates. Medium and fine shirt ings of established reputation have been in steady request for small parcels, and there has been rather more inquiry for low grades. Prioes of popular makes were maintained, but outside tickets, which are in large supply, have been irregular, and could only be moved by means of increased time or enlarged discounts. Cotton flannels have been moderately active in agents’ hands—sales of leading makes keeping pace with the production—and jobbing trans action have become more important. Priceß of flannels ruled quite firm at the low opening rates. Colored cottons have met with moder ate sales from first hands, and piece selections have been more numerous extending to tick ings. denims, dyed ducks, cheviots, Ac., on which there have been no price changes of moment. The package demand for cheviots have been well sustained, and Otis new mills plaid styles are largely sold “ to arrive.” Cor set Jeans have continued in good request and most of the leading colored makes are cloßely sold up in agents’ hands. Rolled jacconets, cambrics and silesias were in limited demand, although some fair transactions in the latter wero reported. Grain bags were taken freely and in considerable amounts by the Western trade at unchanged prices. Cotton batts have been in good demand, and some large ship ments were made during the week. Cotton yarns moved rather slowly, but prices remain ed as before. Domestic twines have con tinued in fair request, and in view of the short supply prices have an upward tendenoy. Print cloths have remained very quiet, and transac tions have been small. Standard 64x64 cloths are held at s}c. and extras at 6}q. for goods made outside of Fall River, at which place holders demand about }c. higher rates than the above. Prints.—There has boon a very fair demand for dark madder fancies, but chocolates have been less active, unless in styles which presented positive novelty, which were readily taken by the trade. Plaids con tinued active, and are likely to have a brisk run as the season progresses. The main fea ture of the print market is seen in the ex treme care with which buyers are making their selections—even the largest operators rarely taking more than one case of a style, where they have been in tho habit of ordering two, or three or more packages. Freeman’s prints were reduced to 70. at which figure large sales of madder styles were effected. The suspen sion of the Passaic Print Works and the burn ing of the Albion Mill have curtailed the week ly production of prints about 18,000 pieces, but no scarcity need be apprehended, on the con trary the supply of chocolate styles has al ready accumulated somewhat in the hands of both agents and jobbers, while that of madder effects is ample for current trade requirements.
