One Beet, of Louisville, Ky.. in just the
inckieHt man we ever beard of, besides being a
barber. In 1874 this toueoriai artist was deep
ly and dreadfully in love, and very much re-1
fused by the young woman who then thought
it would be the better not to be Best. Ho lie
tried to cure himself by putting a bullet into
his brain, where it was snugly lodged until last
week, when it was extracted ‘‘by a rare piece
of surgery never before performed in Ameri
ca.” But Best's luck didn't stop here. The
young woman, the original source of all theße
woes, has now relented, perhaps regarding a
barber who can live a year with a ball in hie
brain ax a natural curiosity not to be despised, j
The people of Illinois have that inestimable j
boon, a Republican Governor, and his name j
is Beveridge. ’1 hat he is not universally men
tioned as the proper man for the first place on ;
the Republican national ticket may be set
down as one of those mysteries which will now
and then thrust themselves forward in spite of
all the reason in America. His judicious ex
penditure of the public money in making the
executive othce endurable shows an experi
ence which might be utilized in a larger hold
than his present one. The following list of
some of his outlays, copied from the official
record, is published:
To Philo Beveridge (son of the Gov
ernor) for clerical services 12,500 00
To Lnttrell for clerical service 2,900 00

A dcsjierate villain eight years of age, named
Robert Gordon, has recently been sentenced
by an English clergyman and magistrate to one
month in prison anil five years iu a reforma
tory, for the offense of placing a fow pebbles
on the track of the Midland Railway, with the
hellish pur|x)HO, to quote liis own blood-curd
ling language, of hearing them ‘‘go smudge”
when the train passed over them. Taken in
connection with tlio sentenco on Col. Valen
tine Raker, this example of Clerical Justices'
Justice will go far to reassure the average
public mind of England which has been
gravely disturbed hv tlio spread of immorality
and ruffianism. To be sure Colonel Baker gets
only one year in prison, while Robert Gordon
gets five; buc then Gordon is not an officer
and a gentleman, and boatdos, being so much
younger than the other railway malefactor, he
has the possibility of a longer career of crime
before him.
Another spasmodic effort lias been made by
the Spanish administration in Cuba to mass
power enough to crash the long drawn out in
surrection iu the island, and so far as an appa
rent increase of strength is concerned success
lias been achieved. The lUano states that tho
Spanish Minister of War lias given orders for
one hundred men to be drawn from each bat
talion in tho army of the l'eniusula, which will
put 10,000 or 12,000 war worn veterans into
Cuba by October or tho first part of Novem
ber. At the Miggeslion of Valmasoda. King
Alfonso liaH conferred high titles of nobility
upon several Cnban loyalists, for distinguished
sorvicos in behalf of the homo government,
and the flagging faith and waning hopes of
sumo who first acted with vigor are expected
to rise under such eiicouragomont, provided it
is understood to ho a regular thing. All this
seems to indicate that the campaign is to bo
conducted witli energy.
Everybody lias heal'd of “ Governor" Ham
Bard, late of Georgia, by this time. He was
appointed Governor of a Territory and after
wards Postmaster of Atlanta, by Grant, from
which latter position ho was removed. But ho
didn't get “ mad” about it. On the contrary,
in his new paper, the Montgomery, (Ala.)
State Journal, he defends Grant nobly iu re
spect to the St. Lonis whisky frauds, and fa
vors his election for a third term. In relation
to the whisky frauds, Bard “ calls upon the
Republicans to stand by the man who intends
to remove from tbo party that odium which
oornipt men liavo attempted to fix upon it.”
The country will be glad to hear of Grant's
good intentions, while regretting that lie didn’t
begin to oarry them out soveral years ago.
Almost tho only instauoe in which he put them
in elocution was his removal of Bard from the
Atlanta Postoffioo.
An Evangelical Protestant Convention is in
session amid tlio cool breezes at Cape May.
The sentiment of its members appoars to be
that ProtestautUcuominations should unite in
euergetic efforts to oppose the spread of
Catholicism, and preserve legislation and the
school system from iuttueuoe. Resolutions
were adopted urging the maintenance of the
principle of the separation of church and
State; regretting the establishment in New
Jersey anil elsewhere of political ecclesiastical
organizations under control of the Catholic
priesthood; calling on all friends of American
instil utioiis to resist tho aggressions of the
Romish Church, and to sustain the true basis
of those institutions, religious liberty for all,
spocial legislation for none : opposing all Htato
aiul municipal appropriations for sectarian
purpose*, and calling upon patriots to resist,
by all lawful methods, efforts to change the
present system of public schools.
The latest encounter with burglars iu New
York possesses all the exciting features of
those which have preceded it there of late. A
couple of hold thieves entered the residence of
a Mr. Gottsbergor about 2 o'clock in tlie morn
ing. and after having,turned on the gas in the
halls aud parlors they went to work ransacking
the house. They entered the room of Mr.
Gottsbergor and coolly took a number of coat*
and pairs of pantaloons from the hooks and
piled them up on the floor. Then they started
for the room occupied by Mr. Gottsberger’s
two sons. The door was looked, but a jimmy
opened it. The young men sprang from their
beds and confronted the burglars. One of the
thieves escaped, but the other, seemingly be
wildered, rushed iuto the parlor. By this time
the senior Gettsberger had been awakened,
and he and his two sous endeavored to corner j
the burglar, who stood at hay for a minute;
then, with a fearful oath, he ordered them to
lot him {lass, threatening to shoot them if they
did not. He followed his words with a charge
so desjierate that Mr. Gottsberger aud his
sons were forced to retire before him. The
burglar then mute a dash at the window, in
tending to jump through. The father seized
one wrist, the youuger brother a leg. and the
elder armed himself with an Indian club. “Let
me go, or 111 shoot you!“ yelled the burglar.
The elder son the intruder as close
ly as he could, and let the club fall with full
force upon the back of his head. After a
second and a third heavy blow the burglar
dropped into the yard, a distance of ten feet.
Here he was picked up insensible, and the po
lice had to awry him on a stretcher to the sta
tion. The other burglar was caught in the act
of poepiug through the keyhole of the front
door, having returned to learn the fate ol his
comrade.
A Sow York letter says: The avenge !
boarding house keeper of Gotham- is more '
likely to be an object of rode jest than of I
sympathy, bnt at the present time she cer
tainly deserve* the Uttar. Landlords, as a
rule, grant very little indulgence to boarding
hocse keepers, and tradesmen are always on
their guard against them; so. if money does
not come in to meet expenses, they are very
likely to go to the walk This Sommer has
been an uncommonly bard time with most of
them, and probably not one in fifty has been
able to make both - ends meet. Bent is not
much lower than it was when times were good,
and tins must be paid, any way. The princi
pal difficulty for some months past has been to
get prices that are at all proportionate to the
cost of carrying on a house. All persons
living in boarding houses, like all other per
sons, are cutting down expenses, or trying to
do no, and with them, at least, the cost of
food and lodging is the first thing attacked.
Accommodations for man and wife, tor which
930 a week would have been paid net ago.
are now edhght for 930, and young mn
paid 910 and 912 a week without grumbling
now want the same rooms and the same board
for 97 or 90- And so it goes all along the
line, from the lowest figure to the highest.
Another difficulty is to get boarders at all.
Half the bouses in New York are half empty,
and have been so for months. In a knocking
about experience of fifteen years I have not
seen New York boarding house keepers any
thing tike as hard pressed as they have been
since last Winter. And unless all the eigne
change, the Fall and Winter now oomiog will
not bring them much help.

Tho LaGrange Reporter, writing of
the re-union of tho old LuGrauge Light-
Guards, says: “The roll of the Light
Guards of 1861 was called by N. A.
Mooty, the last orderly sergeant of the
company. The calling of the names of
those gallant men, who fought with Lee
and Jackson, and many of whom have
pitched their tents, with their great
leaders, iu the eternal world, was lis
tened to with the deepest interest by the
vast throng present. Who shall say
what feelings pervaded the hearts of the
listeners as names were called whi.cii
were once household words, but which
Uve now only iu heart and memory, or
ou the cold, chiseled marble ? Fathers
and mothers were there and heard the
names of gallant sons; wives listened to
the names of those to whom iu the flush
and heyday of youth they gave them
selves ‘so long as they both should
live;' children, made orphans by the
cruel fates of war, heard their fathers
called, and called in vain. Who can
tell what memories oppressed the hearts
and dimmed the eyes of the fathers,
mothers, wives, brothers, sisters and
children, as their ears caught the dear
familiar names so deeply loved and SO
d<**ply lamented; names* of men who
sprang to arms when danger called with
the eagerness of guests bidden to a ban
quet, but whose silent dust even Honor’s
voice cannot provoke. Brave men !
Knightly souls ! Their lofty spirits
knew no fear, their good names no re
proach. Duty’s call was to them omni
’ potent; they gave character to a heroic
age and their death crowned their lives
; with a martyrdom as glorious as ever in
spired poesy tfr illumined the pages of
history. In peace may they rest ! We
> give them now onr tears and the holiest
j affections of onr hearts? at some future
! day—shall it be far distant?—let as give
them a monument whose imperishable
marble shall properly record their im
| mortal names and their matchless
; fame.”

THOSE BONDS.
Ye Romans Again on the Comp. Line.
The introduction of the wooden horse
into Troy didn’t prodnee half the trouble
in the camp of Priam as the compro
mise business has in the little Georgian
city of Borne, The best way to com
promise a debt is to pay it, but the eon
script fathers, who rule the destinies of
the new seat of empire, in their great
wisdom have thought otherwise. But
how to compromise withont paying up
the score was a muddy qnestion. Borne
pondered. Borne hesitated. There was
no disguising the fact that she would
like to rub out those little figures, call
iiffsquare and start over again. But the
courts aud the bondholders couldn’t ex
actly see it in that light. So Rome pon
dered again. Shonld she compromise
or shonld she not compromise ? that was
the question. She'd “be d—d if she
did and she’d be d—d if she didn’t.”
So, with a half wink, she appealed to
the bondholders. “Barkis was willin,”
and affairs seemed to, be progressing as
swimmingly as a chip iu a mill sluice.
Comp, was all the go, and an elegant
proposit ; on—for Rome—was put in
black and white. The bondholders quiet
ly yielded up a large amount to which
they were justly eutitled for the sake of
having the matter settled withont fur
ther delay or trouble. But Rome wasn’t
satisfied. She knew a few tricks that
were not vain, so, with a smile
that was “childlike and bland,” she
called on her legions from Afric's gold
en sands to say no. And they said it.
Comp, was placed out of s%ht. Rome
metaphorically put her thumb to her
nasal organ aud made cabalistic signs at
the bondholders. The latter saw her
> and went one better. The Courts were
ready to say yes if the legions were not.
So a few little legal docnmeDts com
mencing thuswise: “Blank vs, the City
of Rome” put in an appearance. Rome
again donned her thinking cap and be
fn to reflect. Perhaps after all com
omise was a good thing. Therefore
o this complexion has it come at
it Sometime since a citizen of this
yMace, a holder of Rome bonds, having
ia' his possession a past due bond
was not in the $106,000 but which
heh "raged to a seri the payment of
wlik 'h had not been dnpoted, lent it to
an at torney in Rome for collection. A
short time afterwards he received a let
ter frot. 7 the attorney stating that Mayor
Spullock' declined to pay the money
due. ’l'he bondholder immediately
wrote back' to the attorney to sue the
city for the amount. Subsequently he
received a l.et/er from Mayor Spullock
asking him w’by lie had sued the city
on this bond as Rome was ready and
willing to pay it. In reply the bond
holder informed him what he had
learned through the attorney, who had
stated that he (Spullock) had refused to
pay it. Yesterday' the bondholder re
ceived a letter from the attorney stating
that there is not a ilollar in the Rome
treasury, and not much prospect that
there will be any very soon. The Coun
cil have rescinded their tax ordinance
from one and a quarter down to one
quarter of one per cent., and do not
seem inclined to collect that. “There
has been,” he says, “a decided reaction
with them upon the bond business.”
Monday night last they appointed Mr.
Bones, C. H. Smith, Captain Rowell
Forsyth and Mayor Spullock a commit
tee to go to Augusta and settle the bond
business upon the old basis of giving
new bonds for the old at what the hold
ers paid for the latter. They are com
ing, says the writer of the letter, to make
“one more effort, for we have almost
despaired of our city, and feel it to be
our duty to make one more effort to
save it.” #
This proposition, it will be seen, is
decidedly better for the bondholders
than that rejected by the voters of
Rome.
The Baptists of Hartwell have had a
protracted meetiug.
And now Forsyth is agitated on the
negro question, and armed men tramp,
ti'amp, tramp through her streets all the
nipht long.
In Elbert county, August 30th, the
hors,s of Rev. W. A. Swift ran away with

who had been suffering with sup
pressed menses for some time. I have had several
physicians attending, but met with no success until
I was persuaded to buy a bottle of the Regulator,
and it is the very thing for which it is recommended.
She is now in perfect health. I hope all suffering

Weekly Review ef Aigasta Market.
Augusta, Ga.. Friday Afternoon, 1
September 3,1875. j
General Remarks.
The commercial year closed last Wednesday.
Few saw it depart with anything like regret.
The commencement of the new season opened
up inviting vistas of future business and pros
perity that mflie the change a most grateful one
to everybody, as yet the increase in activity has
hardly been perceptible owing to the slowness
with which new cotton comes forward. But
reports from all sections indicate that the
fields are white and that picking operations
are progressing of a rapid rate. We may reas
onably expect, tnerefore, to see the receipts at
this market rapidly increase from day to day
and all classes of business receive a corres
ponding impel ns.
During the commercial weekbusiness, while
not being very active, has manifested a decid
edly better feeling and merchants are confi
dent that they are on the verge of an active
trade. Generally speaking there have been
but few changes in quotations in any hue. But
while prices remain very nearly the same, the
market is stiller and a more active demand, es
pecially. for the staple commodities prevails.
Country mnrehant s are purchasing their stocks
and many of the wholesale houses are, there
fore. kept busy filling orders and shipping
goods. Augusta now does a very large busi
ness in this way. Village and country mer
chants who formerly went te Baltimore, Phila
delphia and other Northern cities to purchase
their Fall and Winter stocks, finding that they
conld procure all they needed in Angnsta at
folly as reasonable rates and with less person
al expense, now trade exclusively with oar
wholesale dealers. This applies equally well
to dry goods, groceries and drugs. The trade
is a valuable one and is increasing year by

Financial.
The demand for money is on the increase,
and our banks, as a general rule, are prepared
to meet legitimate paper. It is true but
little has been done oven in this wav for some
time past, but the prevailing dullue-s iu all
branches of trade rendered any activity in the
money market, even if there had been a ple
thora of cash, impossible. There will be a
plenty of money to move the coming cotton
crop. Few people, perhaps, consider what an
immense amount of money is yoarly brought
into the city by the cotton trade alone. Last
year 178,383 bales of cotton were received in
Augusta Putting tho weight of the baloß at
450 pounds and the average price at 14 cents
we have $11,238,029 as the sum total from this
source alone. Of course all of this money
does not remain here but enough of it finds
its way into general circulation to materially
benefit onr citizens. Onr banking institutions
are accommodating and parties with the proper
paper never fail to secure tho desired ad
vances, provided always the money is there to
meet their wants. Dnring the past Summer
there was less complaint of tight times than
for years past, aud while business was dull,
people wore cheerful looks in anticipation of
better days to come. The dull season is about
over; money will soon be in general circulation
and activity take the place of lithargy. The
rate of interest is easier than it has been at
this period of the year in the past, ami taking
it all iu ail there is no cause for grumbling.
Exchange is not so stiff as for some months
past, and we are quoting it off as will bo seen

Cotton.
The cotton market has been quiet with fair
offerings. New cotton comes in very slowly
aud the receipts therefore continue to be light.
Tlie cotton year closed last Wednesday. The
receipts at Augusta during the year were 178,-
383 bales, and the stock on hand at the close
of business August 31st, 908 bales. The fall
ing off iu receipts compared with tho previous
year was 21.634 bales. It is impossible to esti
mate at this early period what the receipts for
tho present year "will be, but it is ngt thought i
that they will be very much, if any, greater’
than the previous season.

The Coarse of Cotton.
[A. r. Bulletin, August 31.]
Values generally have ruled higher during
toe week under review, and a fair bnsiness
was tranacted. The strength, however, was
most apparent upon cotton actually in sight,
and contracts maturing at an early day, and
toward toe close even these commenced to
tone down somewhat, as the increased cost had
a tendency to generate greater caution and cur
tail considerably the demand. Indeed, except
upon the expectation of a temporary advantage
there does not appear to be any great amount
of confidence m cotton among toe trade, and
though few are willing to operate freely with
a view of gaining profits through a decline,
the general feeling on the “floor" is that val
ues are much more iikely to shrink than to
harden. The consumption the world over
lacks re-asenriug vitality, notwithstanding toe
redaction in the east of toe staple and the va
rious means adopted to work toe goods market
into a more prosperoas condition, while toe
present growth of American cotton seems to
Ibe progressing rapidly toward an nnosaally
| fine and large yield. Tho crop, to be sure, is
I not yot safe by any means, but ha* successfnl-
I ly paijeed many dangers, and is universally ad
mitted to be in a more promising condition
than at the corresponding time last year, while
the more sanguine operators predict that with
anything like a good Fall the growth will be
among the largest and finest ever known. The
general disposition, therefore, is toward the
“bear” side of the question; but in view of
the possibilities against them until the crop is
virtually secured and the comparatively strong
position on immediate deliveries, no operators
can be found with boldness enough to become
“short” to any great extent. For a Bhort time
following onr last review, the sales of “spots"
were pretty free, all things considered, and of
reasonably general character, including a dis
tribution on both home fad foreign account
and several lots on speculation. Prices iu the
meantime were on the upward turn: an ad
vance of Jc. per lb. took place on all grades,
with the ideas of some holders so greatly stim
ulated as to result in the entire withdrawal of
many parcels. The increase of cost, however,
soon began to have the effect of materially
curtailing the demand, exporters being the
first to withdraw, as Liverpool instead of sym
pathizing with the improvement here, rather
working the other way. Spinners also soon
became mnch more cautions, especially as pre
vious purchases had given them a fair supply,
and toward the cloee of the week business had
relapsed into a quiet condition, with the ad
vance barely sustained. Holders, however,
retain a goodly amount of confidence in their
supplies, especially where the lots under eon
. trol are of desirable quality, as the assortments
are much broken and reduced, and the arrivals
of new cotton not as yet of sufficient magni
tnde to induce the expectation # that many par
cels will appear npon our market for some lit
tle time. For future delivery there has been a
little higher average of values, with a some
what irregular tone to the position, bnt no
unusual activity, and business at times kept
alive merely by what is known as a “brokers"
market.” Early i$ the week an apparent firm
ness at Liverpool and unsatisfactory weather
reports gave operators for a rise a slight ad
vantage. and the market was worked up, but
subsequently a goodly portion of the advance
was lost, especially on tlie late months, and
the close showed a more ur less tame tone.
Foreign accounts, publicly, had changed for
the worse slightly, and private advices gene
rally were flat, while the crop indications were
after the closest scrutiny found to be very en
couraging. Receipts were somewhat backward,
bnt still new cotton had commenced to arrive.
ancLhad its effect. August aud September
have been much the strongest, the first named
particularly, based ou the reduced stock here,
the increased value of certain grades and par
cels for “spot” operations,•scarcely any issne
of notices, and a decided probability that the
deliveries would be small, except of low and
nndesirable grades. i *

[IV. Y. Bulletin, August 31.]
In Bio Coffee a fair business was done up to
last Thursday, when the failure of the Bank of
California and the firm of Stirling, Ahrens &
Cos., Baltimore, took place, aud produced a feel
ing of distrust and uncertainty, which had an
unfavorable effect on the market, so far as
business was concerned. Trade has since been
almost entirely suspended; but, nevertheless,
holders have not been dispoeed to make any
concessions, and prices baye remained nomi
ly as at the late advance —184@20jc gold for
invoices. Holders have not pressed business,
and thus there has been no quotable decline.
The supply, both here and at outports has
been small, apd this fact has had its dne influ
ence. Besides the advices from Rio have re
ported a very firm market, and the jobbing de
mand here has been quite fair. Mild coffee
has been quiet but steady. It is not believed
that the adverse influence of the failures al
luded to will bo of long duration, and the Fall
trade is expected to be brisk at firm prices.
Haw Sugar, previous to the failure of Stirling,
Ahrens A Cos., was quiet, but on the announce
ment of that event, trade became, if possible,
duller, and the market merely nominal at 7£(B
84c. for fair to good refining. The occurrence
had its natural influence on trade, but mer
chants here jyere uo t effected financially, no
house in the sugar trade being at all injured
by the event. It moreover appears that Stir
ling, Ahrens & Cos. bad disposed of their sur
plus supply of sugar, so that there is, it seems,
no danger of prices being depressed by any su
gar thrown on the market by the suspended
firm. Refiners have not purchased any further
than to a small extent, and this, with the in
fluence of the failure, has had a rather unfa
vorable effect on the tone of tho market,
though no qqotabje change has taken place.
Included in the sales hayo been Uuadaloupo
and Martinique at 7£@7 11-lfip., jnd centrifu
gal at B£@9£c. as to quality. Of late refiner]
has been selling at ll<Bll£c. for crushed, lie.
for powdered, 10f@10|c. for standard “Q,” and
8£(810Jc. for other grades. Tea has boen firm
for all descriptions, and most of the time a fair
demand has prevailed. Within a few days the
failure of the Bank of California has had an
unfavorable effect on the market, in that it has
momentarily checked trade to a groat extent.
Bnt while this has been the case, the belief
that no one in the trrdc, either hero or in San
Francisco, is heavily, if at all, involved in the
matter, has kept ffio tope of the markot firm
for both new and o ld crop. Importers are in a
better position than formerly, the present
market paying a better margin on the prioss
ruling in China and Japan, and the feeling in
regard to the prospects for the Fall trade is
hopeful. A steady, moderate demand for lines
has prevailed. Molasses has been quiet, for
both refining aud grocery grades, and the mar
ket, owing to this fast, whioh Ijas latterly been
fate to a great extent to the failure of Stirling,
Ahrens & Cos.. Baltimore, has been weak. Lat
erly 37c. has been the extreme quotation for
50 test refining, and not over 85c, generally
bid; while for Porto Rico 50c. has been the out
side figure, and for English Islands 45c., with
some English Islands and Porto Rico quoted
down to 38c. for low grades. The season for
refining is drawing to a close, and refiners
show fio disposition to purchase to any impor
tant extent. If is expected that within the
next few weeks all tljn refineries will close.
The supply here, as well as at Philadelphia,
Boston and Baltimore, is not large, and the
stocks in the out of town markets are especial
ly small; in the present dullness, however, this
fact has little influence, and at the close prices
are everywhere weak. New Orleans has been
ip moderate demand at 65@68c., the latter fig
ure now being the highest quotation. Syrup
has been in fair demand for the better descrip
tion of sugar grade agd prices have been
steady, while the business in low grades and
molasses syrup has been sm 11. The market is
a little unsettled by the Baltimore failure, as
it is understood that the firm whioh operated
for refiners had a considerable quantity of sy
rup on hand at the time of the suspension.
Sugar house molasses has been quiet at 24®
27c. in hogsheads and barrels. About 2,000
bbis. of California syrup have been purchased
by dealers hers. For Rice there has generally
been a good jobbing demand, tbp business in
! Carolina being mainly at 7J@B£c. for good to
I choice, with considerable old crop Lonisiana at
' 64@7c.. and Hmall lots of the new crop of
choice grade at B£@B}c. The new crop comes
forward slowly, and with firm marxets at the
South, and a good demand here, the situation
has been in holders’ favor. Rangoon has sold
well at 6£@6£c. as to quality; has been in fair
demand: Patna has been quiet at 7®7£c.
Bpi.'as have still been in good jobbing demand,
with pepper ruling at 16@16Jc., gold. Cloves
of the better grade at 40@42c,, gold. Cassia
I at 21£@31|c., how however, quoted at 22@22£0.,
all gold prices, with other descriptions general
ly as last week. Pepper has been in some de
mand for invoices but generally the market
for such has been quiet. The business in for
eign dried fruits has lately shown some im
provement, with prices firm. Layer raisins
have been selling at $2 10@2 20 as to quality
and quantity; 56c. in quarter boxes and $1 074
@1 10 for half boxes, with \alencia at 10(8
lOJc.. and loose muscatel at $2 85@3 60. ac
cording to quality; Sultana at 170., and .seed
less at $4 75@5. Cnrrants have been in pretty
fair demand all the week at 6@6£c. Prunes
have continued very scarce, and prices have
been very firm: considerable sales of French
have been made tor delivery in October, at
prices not divulged, but on the spot nothing of
importance has been done, owing to the scarci
ty. For Turkish, 10c. has latterly been quoted
with email sales. Citron has been in good de
mand, and sales have been made at 23A®25c
for Leghorn as to quality. Brazil nuts have
sold well, and are now quoted at 546 c.; also
filberts, at B<Bloc. for Sicily and Barcelona’
and almonds at 17@174c., Terregona, Ivica and
Lanqnadoc. In many instances the business
has been limited to jobbing iota, yet the move
ment has shown an increase, and'when the do
mestic fresh fruit season ia passed, a still far
ther improvement is anticipated. A fair trade
m lemons at s6@B, and oranges at $4(85 has
been done.
