WEDNESDAY APRIL 26, 1876.
CAPTURED.
I>cD*Tltt, the Home Thief, la Limbo.
Tax Chronicle and Sentinel gave a
fall account, last Friday morn in/, of the
stealing of a horse from the front of the
Gity Hail, the subsequent pursuit of the
thief. Wen. McDevitt, the recovery of
the horse and escape of the robber.
MnDev.tt, has a brother living in Edge
field connty, S. C., about a mile from
the village, who is one of the officials of
that county, and as he tied to
South Carolina, it was naturally sup
posed that he had taken refuge at his
brother’s house. Acting upon this sup
position, Policemen Carr and Cobb pro
ceeded to Edgefield, in the capacity of
private citizens merely, last Friday
night, went to the deputy sheriff, a col
ored man named Harris, secured his co
operation, had a warrant issued for the
arrest of William McDevitt, on the
charge of horse stealing, and another
granting permission to search the broth
er’s house. Yesterday morning the three
proceeded to the house, and while
the sheriff, with a double barrel ahot
gun loaded with buck shot, stood in the
edge of the woods in near of the house,
Messrs. Carr and Cobb went to the
front door an 1, after showing the owner
their authority, eutered. William Mc-
Devitt, who beard them coming, ran
out of the back door and dashed off.
He fled past the deputy sheriff, who
fired both barrels of his gun at him,
wonndmg him in one arm and side.
McDevitt drew his pistol and fired back
at the sheriff, but failed to strike him.
n<i ran on a little farther, and finally
dropped his pistol and fell in a small
creek, where he was captured. He was
carried to Edgefield and lodged iu jail.
His wounds, though painful, are not se
rious. The deputy sheriff came to the
city yesterday with a letter from Mr. Carr
to Chief bristian, inlorming him of the
arrest. A requisition for McDevitt will
be procured at once from Gov. Smith.
THE COLt')IBCB CRIME.
A Terrible Sraodal -Tbe Pastor of tbe Bap
tist Cbnrch Arrested for Mt-ductloo.
[From the Columbus Ewpiirer, of Friday.]
Considerable excitement prevailed in
onr community, Wednesday afternoon,
regarding one of onr prominent divines,
the Rev. C. A. Kendrick, of the First
Baptist Church, who was detected in
his study in the church building in
criminal intercourse with a yonug girl
about thirteen years of age. It appears
this wolf in sheep’s clothing had given
canse for scandal, and tbe matter had
been bronght to the attention of some
members of bis church, but their confi
dence in their pastor was so implicit
that they gave the matter but little at
tention, aud they and the community
wero terribly shocked by the develop
ments. We forbear giving the details
of this bypocrit cal villain’s crime.
They are too horrible for public notice,
aud we regret that onr duty compels us
even to mention the matter. The sym
pathy of the entire community is
with the stricken parents, who have
received such a terrible blow from one
to whom they were taught to look
to for comfort and consolation. No pun
ishment can be too severe for the liber
tine, who, in the livery of his God, takes
advantage of an iuuoceut child and
blasts her life, aud sends her father and
mother sorrowing to the grave. We
learn the stricken father was prevented
by friends from wreaking summary ven
geance upon this incarnate fiend. We
are glad that he was not permitted iu
his frenzy to stain his bauds with the
blood of even this villainous libertine,
for God knows his sufferings are terri
ble, aud taking the life of tbe seducer
of his daughter would ouly add to bis
burden of sufferings. We sorrow with
the young wife, who suffers by the
crimes of her hushand. Linking her life
to a man, to boa help meet to him iu
doing God’s work, she too late learns
that her young life is blasted and that
she is joiued to a devil. A warrant was
taken out for aeductiou against Kendrick
Wednesday eveniug. He fled from his
home and distauced pursuers, but was
arrested yesterday morniug about eight
miles below the city and brought here,
and is now in jail. We trust he will re
ceive the punishment his crime merits.
The deaoous and members of tbe Bap
tist Church met yesterday and deoided
to fully investigate the subject, and
assist in punishing the offender. The
accused has been pastor of the Baptist
Church here about throe years, succeed
ing Dr. Hkinuer. His age is in the
neighborhood of thirty years. The jail
was guarded last night by the Columbus
aud City Light Guards. They had been
called out as a precautionary measure
by order of the Sheriff and by the ad
vice of tbe Mayor. Until the excite
meut agaiust Rev. Mr. Kendrick sub
sides this course was deemed best.
Nothing occurred, however, to disturb
the peace. The sentiment of the vast
majority of our people are agaiust any
demonstration of mob law. Judge
James Johnson has volunteered to de
fend Mr. K. The accused claims there
was a conspiracy agaiust him; that he
ouly desires a fair and impartial trial,
and protests iunoceuce of the charge.
We delay details uutil the legal investi
gation takes place. The direct evidence
agaiust him is well nigh overwhelming.
At teu o’olock last night tue military
were relieved by the police.
SKIM-MII.K MONTH.
Note* on the Month of April—Read and Re
flect.
April is a skim-milk month.
When feebly does the pulse stir;
Tain't warm enough for a calico coat,
And you feel like a fool in an Ulster.
Iu April a straight-out lie is called a
joke.
Iu April yon must buy your wife a
new bouuet, or have a row.
Iu April a woman bitches a towel to
her head, snatches up carpets, wears out
brooms, and always leaves a piece of
soap ou the bottom stair for a man to
step ou.
Iu April ihe girls buy smaller shoes
and prepare for croquet.
Iu April Sunday School children and
bauds begin to thiuk of pie-uics, tubs of
lemouade, ridiug ou locomotive cow
catchers, burning holes in their clothes,
aud gettiug grass staius ou their kuees.
Iu April hale aud hearty men fall like
leaves iu Autumu, stricken with the
dreadful base ball fever.
In April politicians are unhappy;
some of them set up wine, buy new
hats, aud few pay their bets.
Iu April baukers, railroad conductors,
steamboat captains aud other men of
wealth eat asparagus, and the rest of
the people preteud to be happy ou such
Spriug fruits as boiled beaus, tish balls
aud sauer kraut.
Iu April the good citizen takes his
scmi-aunual bath, removes his flannel,
takes cold aud nearly “passes in his
checks” with pneumonia.
In April the childreu must have fres
coed eggs, so they oau (nearly) die
happy.
In April the farmers sow—sew does
the seamstress. “Jes-so.”
Iu April the tramp refuses bread aud
butter, turns up his nose at the wood
pile, and steals chiokeus for “political
effect.”
Iu April the festive pie plant pie makes
your face assume a triangular shape aud
your mouth iuclined to cuss.
In April the house-fly seeks the milk
pitcher and soup dish, and proves again
that he is not a second Paul Boynton.
In “April showers bring May flowers.”
Mary Flowers is welcome to Little Rock.
It generally rains every other day, the
showers having a falling engagement the
rest of the mouth.
In April a man takes his old clothes
to the renovator, with hard times
stamped on his face. He geuerally has
no oilier stamps iu April.
Iu short, April is not the festive sea
son it is cracked up to be, although
many eggs are cracked. In truth, it is
a skim-milk month.
Remarkable Disappearance of lirar*ia
Lake*.
A third lake in Lowndes county has
been emptied of its waters by subter
ranean passages daring the last six
months. What is the matter ? The
Times has several times allnded to the
fact that Lowndes county has within its
borders numbers of lakes from 10 to
500 (and several beyond a 1,000) acres
in size, and can it be that these lakes
are connected with a grand underground
water course ? It seems so. In Sep
tember last one dried np or ran off, and
left bushels upon bushels of fish in
holes of water abont upon the bottom
of the lake. In January another, about
five miles ftom this, did the same thing,
and now Grassy pond, a lake covering
about 500 acres, just between the two
above mentioned, has left its millions of
fishes out of the water. About three
weeks ago it was reported that the
waters of this lake were sinking below
low water mark, and every day or two
we would hear that it was still going
down. Last Friday a report spread all
over the eountry like wild fire that
Grassy pond was low enough to rake the
fish out with nets, and by sundown more
than 100 people had collected at the
place. Some had dip nets, some cast
nets, and there was one seine
in the party. The first haul with
the seine caught enough trout, jack,
bream aud speckle perch to make a
“mess” for every one present. During
that night all the water disappeared
And there were millions of fish left dead
ppon dry land. Saturday, next day, the
planters bitched op their wagons and
hauled load after load and scattered
them in their fields for manure, and
thousands were left at the mercy of buz
zards, bogs, and other creatures of prey.
Such quantities of fish aud such des
truction have never been known in the
history of Lowndes county. No one
ever dreamed that there was half that
quantity of fish in Grassy pond, though
it was celebrated for its fine fishing
grounds in the Spring of the year. The
other .two lakes above mentioned did
not thus completely dry, and the fish
that were not caught were saved by the
water returning in a few days from its
hidden retreat in tbe bosom of the
earth. We learn that Grassy pond is
filling np again, bat it is too late to save
the finny tribe. These statements are
not at all exaggerated, and can be testi
fied to by several hundred people liviog
in this connty though it is marvelous to
all.— Valdosta ( Ga .) Times.

JUDGE WILLIAM GIBSON.
Editors Chronicle and Sentinel:
For many years I have known this
worthy and patriotic man, and time,
which lulls our passions, lessens onr
prejudices and softens if it does not
subdue the asperities of party, has en
abled me, I think, to do justice to his
character. No intimacy exists between
ua. I have never lived in daily or fami
liar intercourse with him. Our relations
to each other have been only of a busi
ness character. I am indebted to him
for no favor; nor he to me for influence
or political support. In the past I have
criticised his conduct and denounced
his politics; and yet I am not sure but
that bis course has been wise and his
conservatism beneficial. That he loves
with devotion his native State, I have uo
doubt; that he bos served her faithfully
in more than one capacity is known of
many and should be acknowledged by all.
He makes, I believe, no pretensions to ac
complished scholarship orprofound learn
ing; yet he writes well and makes a good
Judge. He may not always find author
ity for his rulings, but they have gene
rally been right—for he is a man of
clear perceptions and solid judgment.
Extensive legal information does not
always qualify men for the bench. The
reading of mauy books more often re*
suits in confusion of ideas than in clear
apprehension of truth or logical conclu
sions. It has been said that Chief Jus
tice Marshall would write out his de
cisions and then get Judge Story to hunt
up authorities to sustain them. But
whether this be true or not, men who
write law books seldom, if ever, make
good judges.
On the bench, Judge Gibson is gene
rally courteous and patient, although
I have more than once seen his
temper ruffled, and his equanimity
disturbed by uncalled for exhibi
tions of passion and spiteful im
pertinence on the part of mecurial mem
bers of the bar. But these he forgave
or allowed to go unpunished, as grati
tude obliges even this writer to declare.
I had some acquaintance with Judge
Gibson as u soldier. He was brave,
faithful aDd constant. Though not un
der his command, I knew of his courage
aud fortitude, and have not forgotten it.
Many who have since abused him in the
bitterest way shrank like cowards from
the struggle in which he risked his life.
I have differed with him widely. Even
now the Hotspur iu me prevents a cor
dial union. But I would do him jus
tice; for I believe his heart is warm, his
friendship faithful and his patriotism
pure. We no doubt differ more in the
means thau the end.
At Old Capitol Prison, at Point Look
out and elsewhere, he bore his suffering
and captivity like a hero. It fell to my
lot to witness his proud patience and
manly endurance daring some of these
dark hours; and to-day memory recalls
many an aot of generous kindness shown
to those around him. It is neither my
purpose nor desire to mention Judge
Gibson’s name in connection with any
office. I leave to the “Warwicks” the
making of Kings, Presidents and Gov
ernors. For myself, I would simply pay
an honest and impartial tribute to a
man who has far more virtues thau faults.

OGLETHORPE COUNTY.
Superior Court Juilae Pottle’s Charge-
Crop Prospects—Bright Skies—A Splendid
County and a Noble People.
[Special Correspondence Chronicle and Sentinel .]
Lexington, April 21. —Court week al
wavß brings the people of Oglethorpe
aud adjoining counties together at Lex
ington. I doubt if a more public spirit
ed, intelligent and deeply interested as
semblage in tbe proceedings of such oc
casions can be found in the State of
Georgia. Tbe Court room is large and
comfortable, and generally crowded with*
a sufficient number of outsiders to keep
up the interest in the stores qnd streets.
Among the points made in tbe charge
of bis Honor Judge Pottle to tbe grand
jury, was that of putting deadly weapons
into tbe bands of minors. The last Leg
islature made it a penal offense, and if
tbe law is rigidly enforced, the shocking
accidents among tbe young and impru
dent will be abated. Tbe Judge is firm
in the belief that the demoralization
and crime of'tbe country is largely the
result of a ruinous system of agricul
ture. Let every planter raise supplies
for all on bis farm, enforce tbe vagrant
laws, and the jail and court house
would soon be relieved of a nuisance and
tbe treasury of enormous expenditures.
It is due, however, to the people of
Oglethorpe county to say that they are
as free from tbe foregoing evils as any
others in Middle Georgia. I heard an
old gentlemen say to-day that he bad
not failed in forty years to raise meat
and corn to sell, that be did not owe one
dollar in the world and had money to
meet all his necessities. And he is
not the only example of this class, for
there are many others in the county,
who are ornaments to agriculture, and
benefactors to society. The truth is
Oglethorpe in every respect is one of the
best couuties in Georgia. The crop of
small grain is abundant, green and
flourishing, and if no disaster befalls
it, the yield will be unprecedented.
Some of as fine clover lots as I ever saw
abound iu aud around Lexington. Geo.
H. Lester, Esq , raised on two acres last
year twelve thousand pounds of clover,
and. after harvesting this crop, planted
the lot in corn, and made seventy-five
bnshels of corn snd eight hundred
pounds of fodder. Mr. Jasper M. Kin
nebrew, of Bairdstown, informs me that
he measured from one acre sixty-three
bushels of wheat, leaving at least three
or four bushels on the ground. The same
gentleman has in his possession
relics worthy of notice, consisting
of shot and powder pouches used by his
father iu the war of 1776. Also, the egg
shell of an ostrich, brought by bis
great-grandmother from Germany to this
country in the year 1755. The shell
holds a quart and gill of water; can be
filled in one minute, but requires twelve
hours to empty. My visit to Lexington
and intercourse with the good people of
Oglethorpe has been in every respect
pleasant and agreeable. The kindness
and hospitality of the people is worthy
of all commendation.
Dead. —Abont two weeks ago Mr.
Henry N. Gardner, onoe a resident of
Augusta, was struck on the head by a
white man named Davis at Wrigbtsboro,
McDuffie county. Mr. Gardiner died
from the effects of the wonnd Friday.
His remains were brought to the city
last evening, and will be buried from the
Cemetery Chapel, this morning, at 10
o’clock. The veterans of the Oglethorpe
Infantry will attend the funeral.

President’* Report.
The annual report of the President,
H. H. Hickmam, E?q., was then read as
follows :
7b the Stockholders of the Oraniteville
Manufacturing Cos.:
Gentlemen —The monetary depres
sion, which has so generally” prevaded
the country for the last three years, be
came greatly intensified during the past
year, and it has borne heavily upon all
departments of productive industry—
notably so upon cotton mannfoctnres.
Under the irresistible influence of this
depression, the market prices of yonr
goods have steadily declined, and now
leave a very small margin of profit.
In this condition of affairs, the suc
cessful management of your mill be
comes exceedingly difficult. The duties
of yonr officials are more arduous and
their responsibilities more onerous; and
it will require still greater effort and
watcbfnlness on their part to conduct
your business satisfactorily during the
comiDg year, unless a great change in
the financial prospects of the country
shall take place in the near future.
With this statement, I submit for yonr
examination the final balance and sab

of the year which ended with the 29th

This sum, you will perceive, has been
more than absorbed by dividends paid

and the amount paid for new machinery,

Much has been done since your last

to render the houses of the operatives
neat, comfortable and Healthful. This
good and needful work will not be push

the stringency of the times.
The machinery of your mill has been
maintained in its usual efficient con

A COLUMBUS CRIME.
Rct. A. Komlrick Arrested and Lodged
in Jail—And is Guarded by the Military
to Protect His Lite.
[Special Dispatch to the Constitution.]
Columbus, April 20. —Rev. Charles A.
Kendrick has been arrested upon a
charge of seduction, and lodged iD jail
here iu order to protect his life from the
indignation and outraged feelings of
the people. The city has been horror
stricken snd maddened by the discov
ery of the alleged crime, and that no
sudden and rash action may be had the
military are guarding the jail to-night
where Mr. Kendrick is confined, and he
will probably be safe from illegal judg
ment. The girl with whom the crime is
charged is a young miss nearly fourteen
years of age and of a highly respectable
family. Two men say that they detect
ed Mr. Kendrick in the commission of
the act in his study in the church build
ing on Wednesday evening. The war
rant for his arrest was served to-day.
His counsel is Judge James Johnson,
his neighbor and friend, who promptly
volunteered his services in that capa
city. It is preferred not to give the
name of the girl at present.

[ Gathered from the Heralds report.]
The Emperor of Brazil wins favor at
every step. In truth, a more popular
potentate never landed on American soil.
His Majesty pleasantly represents him
self as a student, eager to be instructed
and willing to avail himself of knowl
edge that subsequently may be pnt into
practical operation in his own domains,
and may redound to the advantage of
the empire of which he is the benign ru
ler. At every turn he is greeted with
heartfelt demonstrations of friendship,
and much as he may desire to avoid
public attention, his illustrious name,
surrounded, as it is, by all the elements
that could endear a sovereign to his sub
jects, seems to carry with it the flood
tide of popularity. His urbanity, gen
tleness, and scholarly attainments, to
say nothing of his experience as a trav
eler, could not pass unnoticed among
the passengers of the Hevelius, and ever
since bis arrival in this city the same
genial characteristics, for which he is
bo well known, have had ample illustra
tion. In conversation with a visitor
yesterday he gave expression to his de
light at the general appearance of the
city, which, he said, exceeded in beauty
and propotions any thing he had antici
pated to find.
At the Cathedral.
Oaring the services Doji Pedro at in
tervals permitted his gaze to roam over
the vast congregation up to tbe organ
loft, but most of the time he was occu
pied with his devotions or engaged in
following the ceremonies. The Empress
seemed the very ideal of a pious woman,
aDd all through the mass she gave her
whole attention to the prayer book be
fore her and the observance of the Cath
olic ritual. After the reading of the
gospel, Rev. Vicar General Quinn as
cended the pulpit, and turning to the
imperial party he said:
“In the name aud on the part of his
Eminence, the Cardinal, I beg to offer to
your Majesty and the Empress his con
gratulations on your safe arrival in this
spountry. We all unite with liis Eminence
in giving thanks to Almighty God for
yonr safe passage, and pray that the re
mainder of yonr journey may be equally
prosperous and that you may be, with
your suite, restored in good health to
your devoted subjects. You will pardon
this personal allnsion, which is purely
of a religious character and which, we
trust, will not infringe on any rule which
your Majesty may have prescribed for
yourself.”
While this address was being read the
Emperor kept his headmodesly inclined,
and only when the reverend gentleman
descended from the pulpit did he raise
it. The services then proceeded to a
conclusion, and when the benediction
had been pronouced and the celebrant
passed into the vestry with his train, the
imperial party rose and were escorted
outside by the clergy iu atteudance.
Literary Attainment*.
On the ship during the voyage the
Herald correspondent relates :
The Emperor seeing me reading Varel
la’s “O Evangelio Nas Selvos”—a work
which some Brazillians compare with
Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” told me he
knew the poet well. He was a young
man of great talent, and had he lived,
might have produced great results.
When I told him some intelligent Bra
zillians had compared him to Milton he
shook his head and said: “There is
much difference; but he -was very clever,
and, had he lived, might have done
great thiDgs; but he died very young,
before his talents had been fully develop
ed. He is not the best of our Brazil
ian poets. He was a youug man of un
fortunate life.”
Here someone suggested that he was
the Brazilian Byron, at least in his life.
The Emperor said: “I admired very
much the works of Byron, especially his
‘Child Harold’ and ‘Manfred.’ His pic
tures of foreign lands are very beautiful,
but he was a little hard on the Portu
guese. I think Byron has injured Moore’s
fame as a poet—that is, we would have
esteemed Moore more highly had he not
been overshadowed by the more robust
genius of Byron,”
“Is your Majesty acquainted with
Moore’s works?”
“O, yes, I have read his ‘Lalla Rookh;’
it is very beautiful. Another writer I
like very much is Walter Scott. I have
read his ‘Guy Mannering’ and ‘Bride of
Lammermoor.’ When I visited Abbots
ford I brought away a large bush, which
I have planted at Petropolis. I would
also like to bring some ivy from Wash
ington Irving’s home to plant it at
Petropolis, where ivy grows very well.
And Bryant—where is he?”
About American Poets.
“He is in New York, He edits a news
paper there. ”
“Ah! so much the better. I will have
the pleasure of seeiDg him. But Long
fellow—where is he ? lam sorry he did
not consent to write the Centennial ode.”
“Heis at Cambridge, near Boston.”
“Well, I suppose I will see him at the
Centenuial; anyway, if he does not come
to see me I will go to see him.”
“Your Majesty knows his works?”
“Yes, he sometimes writes to me. I
have translated some of his poems into
Portuguese and sent them to him. I have
also tried to engage him to translate
the ‘Lusiad.’ He could do it better
than any one I know. He is a very good
Spanish and Italian scholar and his
translation of Dante is quite remarkable.
I like also the poems of Whittier. I
have translated some of them into Por
tuguese. There is also a Californian
poet, whose name I cannot recall.”
“Joaquin Miller ?”
“Yes, sir, Joaquin Miller. He has
sent me some of his works. Where is he?”
“When last heard from he was in Lon
don.”
Scalp Taking.
In connection with California I in
formed his Majesty that a war in Spring
with the Sioux was feared, and that he
would have a chance of losing his scalp
on the trip. He only shrugged his
shoulders and said: “Well, we must
take rifles with us, and if they shoot we
must shoot too. I do not care.” One
of the ladies advised him to get a wig,
to which he replied: “Ah, the Indians
are not such fools as to take a wig for
hair. I would like to see some of the
Indian tribes on my way.”
Hears Moody and Sankey—ls Greatly Mov
ed.
[From the World.]
Dinner disposed of, he expressed a
desire to include a visit to Moody and
Sankey among his recollections of New
York. At the evening service at the
Hippodrome Mr. Mood’s text was,
“What shall I do with Jesus, which is
called Christ?” At Mr. Moody’s right
hand sat Dom Pedro and his suite, Mr.
Chaistine Tamsen, and a number of
other geutlemen. The Emperor had a
small umbrella between his knees, on
the top of which swung his high silk
hat. He paid the closest attention to
Mr. Sankey’s singing, shaking his head
in approval, and when “The Ninety and
Nine” was sung he held a hymn-book in
his hand and traced the words as Mr.
Sankey sung them.
Mr. Moody, after giving out his text,
said: “I do not care so much abont the
sermon if I could impress the text upon
your hearts. I do not care what denomi
nation a man may belong to, nor would
I go across the street to change his de
nomination, but I would go around the
world to briDg one single soul to Jesus.
[The Emperor shook his head and mut
tered ‘Yes.’] Men mean to decide some
day what they will do with Christ, but
wordly interest stands in the way. If it
were not for this lack of decision hun
dreds of young men in this city would
be Christians.” As the speaker became
excited, large drops of perspiration stood
upon the Emperor’s forehead, and he
leaned forward on the edge of his chair,
endeavoring to catch every word, not
once removing his eyes from Mr. Moo
dy’s face. Mr. Moody spoke with un
usual distinctness. “If yon wish true
liberty and peace,” he said, “accept
Christ and you will enjoy it.” (“Very
true,” said Dom Pedro turning to his
secretary.) “A kingdom oannot buy
Christ or a place in Heaven beside him,
Even a great emperor cannot save his
soul with all his wealth and power un
less he bows himself at Christ's feet and
accepts of Him.” The Emperor bowed
his head, and turning to his secretary
bade him pay particular attention to Mr.
Moody’s remarks. At the conclusion of
the service, whioh was very effective, the
Emperor shook hands with Mr. Moody
and Mr. Sankey, and a place being
cleared through the crowd by the police,
the royai party passed out the Twenty
seventh street door, entered their car
riages and were driven away.

New York, April 22.—During the week at
the Cotton Exchange, better business on spot
has been done at unchanged and steady
prices. Rather higher rates for exchange and
firmer market for Liverpoal have encouraged
exports to purchase more freely for consump

sales for the week for export and home trade
have been 5,169 bales. For future delivery
there was at one time quite a firm and buoyant
market, owing to the Mississippi flood ac
counts.

CWTOAGO ' MARKET.
Grain, Flour and Provisions.
Chicago, April 15.—The week closes on
somewhat unsettled markets all around. Sus
pension of business on some European Boards
the past two days, no session of the New York
Com Exchange yesterday, and the unsettled
weather here has created a feeling of uncer
tainty among operators. With the renewal of
business abroad after Easter holidays, and
clearing weather here, markets will doubtless
take a more certain shape. Hog Products have
ruled weak and easy during the week until
Friday noon, when prices took an upward turn,
Mess Pork selling up some 30c psr barrel, and
Lard about 15c. per 100 pounds, but closed
easy to-day, with more liberal offerings, and
advance partly loet. Dry Salt Sides closed
about 40. above lowest point of the week. Do
mestic demand has been very light, but there
have been several veiv large "European orders
for long and short clears on the market.
Wheat has fluctuated heavily, May selling
down to $1 02$ and up to $i 064 during the
week, closing weak last evening, opening and
ruling strong and high r to-day. Stocks of
wheat at the principal points both of Europe
and America are reported large, and so far
reports from the growiug winter wheat crops
are favorable; present unsettled weather is
somewhat unfavorable for sowing spring
wheat, and considerable stress is placed upon
this by some operators. Should “Old Proba
bilities" give us clear planting weather the
coming week it would prove a strong aid to the
“bear” party. Com closes firm at a shade
higher prices than yesterday; the fluctuations
in this grain have been within a moderate
range. Oats slightly higher for May deliveries.
