Lost.—A fireman connected with Long
John steamer, lost a valuable rubber overcoat
from that engine while on the way to the' fire
on Monday morning. He thinks it was lost
on Washington street near Clark. The finder
would confer a favor by leaving it at tbe en
gine house on Lasallc street.
Xjoicext.—Kelson B. Henderson was arres
ted yesterday, charged with stealing $275
from a citizen living in Wisconsin. The thief
was promptly arrested by the police, the
money recovered, and Henderson held to ball
by Justice Hiller, in the sum of SI,OOO for
further examination this morning.
Hons Misplaced . Cowpidexce.— An old
man, sixty years of age, named Carter, hailing
from Joliet, was fleeced out of seventy-eight
dollars, all tbe money he had, by a sharper on
Clark street, Tuesday evening. When will
people learn to keep their business to them
selves and keep strangers at aproper distance ?
The Bethel Meetixo. —The protracted
meeting at the Seaman’s Bethel, corner of
Wells and Michigan streets, is increasing in
Interest Preaching every night at hall-past
seven o’clock, followed by a prayer and con
ference meeting. The Chaplain is an old
hand at conducting such meetings, and it
would seem that he is always successful
therein.
Mabixe Aetuxebt.— Hon. E. M. Haines
vesterday was notified by a dispatch from
Gov. Tates, of his appointment upon the Ma
rine Artillery Committee, asking him to at
tend at once. Mr. Haines has been confined
to his room with inflammation of the lunge
tince the adjournment of the Legislature, but
is slowly recovering.
Popular Insanitt.—Cabas is the very
cynosure of the time. Yesterday morning,
the crowd that besieged the ticket office to se
cure scats reached from the theatre to Dear
born street. Last evening, the building was
packed from pit to dome. The Oshkosh ex
cursionists wcie delighted, and will go home
to-day to dream of the divinity. She ap
peared as the French Spy, and, of course, was
the very essence of beauty and grace.
Kev. Wm. H. Milbubs.— TVe call attention
to the card of this gentleman, to be found in
ouradvertislngcolunms, by which Itwill be
seen that he has concluded to prolong his so
journ in the TVcst for a short time, and is
prepared to receive applications for lectures.
TVc can assure onr friends of a rare intellect
ual treat wherever he maybe Invited to lee
lure. With native gifts ol the highest order
.he has, by unwearied labor, placed himself in
the front rank of living scholars, combining
more perfectly than any other man we have
ever known, the charms of eloquence with
tolld scholastic attainments, and an unsur
passed literary culture.
As XJxExrEOTBp Bombshell. —ADemocra-
N *~Ticpow-wow occurred, last evening, In a sa
loon on Sta’e street, at which Caulfield,
Adams and Dr. Hahn were the speakers.
Their speeches were most violent tirades
against the Government, the Administration,
the war and the soldiers. Nothing was too
bitter to be said against the country. At the
close ,Aid. Bhimp, who won’t be read out of
the Democratic party, threw a bombshell into
the Copperhead camp by making a rousing
speech in favor of the Govcmmcntandthe Ad
ministration, completely undoing all that bad
been done by the political hacks before Mm.
- Sudden Death of ax Old Citizen. —Onr
citizens will be pained to learn that Stephen
C. FDgginson, esq., died very suddenly of ap
oplexy, yesterday noon, at his residence on
Ontario street. Mr. Higginson has been a
citizen of Chicago for many years, always
highly rcspoctcdfor his benevolence and good
ness of heart, and has filled with credit posi
tions of trust and responsibility. For some
time past he has been engaged In tbelnsurancc
business. He was In the 52d year of his age.
JTI* funeral will take place on Friday at tea
o’clock, a. m, from Unity church, on Chicago
Avenue.
Sale or the Richmond Horst.—J. T.
Moulton, Master in Chancery of the United
States Circuit Court, on Tuesday, sold the
Richmond House, together with three lots on
South Water street covered by P, for $50,000
in cash, on a foreclosure of mortgage in the
cose of Brown vs. Blchmond. The price re
ceived for it fldls $20,000 short of the amount
of the claim. The Bichmoud House cost
$120,000, independent of the three lots upon
which It stands, which may safely be estimated
fit SIO,OOO each. Not long since the Bichmoud
was a first class house, and was honored hy
the presence of the Prince of Wales, when he
visited Chicago. Judge Hugh T, Dickey was
the purchaser.
Journeymen House and Sion* Painters’
Association.— This Association organized
three weeks ago, by the adoption of a consti
tution and by-laws, and the election of the
following officers: President, C. A- Bourne;
Tice President, James Williams; Secretary,
Jas.Burns; Treasurer, Nathan Lcppcr. An
advance in wages was decided upon for the
present month, and Img been cheerfully ac
ceded to by the boss painters, namely, $3 per
day for first-class journeymen, and none to
work for less than $1.73 per day. At their
regular meeting at Kingsbury Ball, several
new members were added, aside from which
no business of public interest was transacted.
The wages will probably be further advanced
on the first of April.
‘ The Ice Business.—J. W. Parish, esq., of
St. Louis, formerly of this State, who had re
cently awarded to him the contract for-fur
nishing the icc needed by the Government the
ensuing season, in the Mississippi Valley, was
In this city yesterday, and effected arrange
ments with a number of oar vessel owners to
transport Ice for him from the 8U Lawrence
Blver. The ice in that region is of a very su
perior quality, and Mr. Parish finds no diffi
culty in obtaining all he desires from the St.
Xau rencc and Lake Pepin, and at rates lower
than has been generally, anticipated In view of
the universal mildness of the winter.
Mr. Parish has also contracted with the
Chicago Ice Company for several thousand
tons.
Angels op Merct.— C. 1L Dennot, Esq.,
Purveyor of the Army of the Cum
berlauu, -Jolting frem Murfreesboro, speaks
in the highest terms of Mrs.Hosmcr and Mrs.
Tlnkham, oi this city, who, he states, came
there as soon as they heard of the battle, and
lave devoted themselves earnestly and effi
ciently to the interests of the wounded sol
diers. He says, “The country, and especially
the State of Illinois, owe them a debt which
the Treasury of that Stale cannot liquidate.
Bcgordlcss of the distance, as well as of their
home duties and the perils and privations to
be endured, they hastened to Murfreesboro,
just in the hour of the wounded soldier's
greatest need. Over-exertion has compelled
them to return to recover their own health.
Their departure was deeply regretted by all.
Who will fill their places? Several lady nurses
would be welcomed by the brave soldiers,
many of whom arc suffering and even dying
for want of proper nourishment and atten
tion.” All praise to Mrs. Hosmcr and Mrs.
Tlnkham.

XU- promotion is fully earned.
THE KORTHfIESTiRM MILITARY
DEPOT.
EQUIPMENTS IN STOBK.
Names of Chicago Contractors &c.
Through the politeness of M. 0. Sullivan,
Esq., Acting Military Storekeeper, wo were
yesterday shown through the immense cs‘ab-
lishment at 803 South Water street, known as
the United States Military Warehouse, con*
slsling of two store rooms, 60 feet front by
125 deep, with twenty feet ceilings. No ade
quate conception of the amount of goods re
quired to fill a warehouse of this sire can bo
formed, without seeing the hundreds upon
hundreds of cases plied up in every story.
Such a sight is rarely mctwlth. Atone time,
in January lost, this depot was so well filled
that, though the block is of iron and brick,
the immense weight settled the building to
sneb an extent that all the doors were neces-
sarily cut off, before they conld be used.
The stock distributed from this warehouse,
embraces complete outfits, In the way of cloth-
ing, camp and garrison equipage, for every
branch of the service recruited in the Kortb-
Tv C gt—infantry, cavalry, and artillery. The
States of Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin, Minneso-
ta—ln short, all the Korthwest, is supplied
with outfits from this depot. Upwards of
two hundred separate and distinct articles are
required to he handled and meted out as or
dered, yet Mr. Sullivan has the business so
thoroughly systematized, having “a place for
everything, and everything in its place’*—all
cases numbered and labeled, that be may see
at a glance what is wanted —as to enable him
to fill an orderfor a regiment, requlringabont
125 cases, in the brief space of an hour and
a half. Mr. Sullivan has arranged a hoisting
apparatus, by tbe aid of wldch two men can
elevate to any floor in the building sixty cases
of goods per hour, or one per minute; where
as, with the ordinary hand machinery tea men
could not elevate or lower, to exceed twenty
five cases per hour. Considering the time
aud labor saved, and estimating wages at from
twenty-five to forty cents per hour, his Im
provement shows an immense saving to the
Government. Another item of saving is seen
In the fifth story—a mass of all kinds of arti
cles used by soldiers—the remnants or “ leav
ings’’which have been collected at camps
and railroad depots, &c.—articles left behind
by soldiers when ordered to the field. Since
this warehouse has been in charge of Mr.
Sullivan be has collected about $20,000 worth
of this stock, including 156 stand of arms, and
a number of costly tents, all of which arc
turned into tbe common stock and again put
into service.
"We were pleased to note the nniformly su
perior quality of the articles in store. The
clothing is of good material, and made in a
very durable manner. The officers here will
not receive any shoddy cloth, nor slop shop
work; and whenever any article is received
that is not No. 1, it is promptly returned to
the contractor, with charges both ways added;
hence they never attempt the swindle the
second time.
The stock on hand is now light, compared
with what it was before the new regiments
were fitted out. The following figures will
show the amount of some of the leading
articles in store: Blankets, 8,769; blouses,
3,867; bootes, 13,379; forage caps, 9,010; In
fantry frock coats, 83,839; sack lined coats,
4,169; infantry overcoats, 11,813; cavalry do.,
700; woollen drawers, 18,187; infantry hats,
11,209; cavalry do., 743; haversacks, 13,850;
knapsacks, 10,309; canteens, complete, 6,918;
infantry knit Jackets, 8,885; cotton do. do. L
1,078; shirts,'ll,962; stockings, pairs, 21,105;
infimtry trowsers, 42,567; cavalry do., 3,900;
artillery do., 1,910; and other articles in pro
portion. Under the head of camp and garri
son equipage, wc notice axes, 1,893; do. han
dles, 2,877; hatchets, 1,600; pickaxes, 338*
spades, 800/ camp kettles, 2,900; mess pans,
2,315; wall tents and flies, 317; poles (sets)
428; pins, 12,852; siblcy tents, 6; tent stoves,
580; hospital tents, complete, 46; shelter
tents, 8,555, &c., &c-
The regimental flags arc of beautiful blue
silk, appropriately inscribed in oil and gold
leaf colors, that in the hands of onr boys
vxm't run; but the greatest flag in the North
west, is the garrison flag from Harper’s
Ferry, its size being 40 by 60 feet.

to suggest any Improvement- Mr. Sullivan is
assisted by £. H. Rose, bookkeeper, who»
through the multiplicity of business, makes
his weekly and montMy reports promptly,

SXALIi POX AT CAMP DOUGLAS
Report of Examining Physicians.
The rapid Increase of small pox among the
prisoners at Camp Douglas has occasioned
considerable alarm among the people resl
dent thereabouts, and during lost week they
united in an earnest appeal to the Board of
Health, complainingof the hospital used for
the small pox patients, and asking for some
action in their behalf. Gen. Ammen, being
appealed to, said that he was perfectly willing
to adopt any measure which would render
the neighborhood safe, and abate the fears of
citizens. The Board of Health appointed
Drs. Brainard, McVlckar and Cheney to visit
the camp and report. Gen. Ammen also ap
pointed a committee of surgeons to meet
them and consult. The result is contained in
the following report;
To Hon. F. C. Sherman, Esq., Mayor, and the
Boarder Health of the City of Chicago;
The undersigned, appointed by the Board of
Health of the city, to visit the small-pox hospit
als at CampDonglasand confer with the sar-conaon
service there, have discharged that doty and re
spectfully beg leave to report:
That tbeyfind that the small-pox first occurred
among the troops there about the 10th of Novem
ber, but did not appear to any extent until the ar
rival of the Confederate prisoners now there, about
the 27th of January, since which time it his been
gradually increasing, until there are now 125 cases
m the hospital. There-have been 19 deaths.
Among onr own troops there have occurred 19
cases and one death, under the jndlclous care of
Dr. Parke, Surgeon of the 65th Illinois Yolrmtccrs,
Post Surgeon, and Hr. Carpenter, Surgeon of tbc9th
VcmontVolnntecra.attcndlDgphyßician in the hos
pital, thorough vaccination has been introduced,
and the patients are well cared for and treated.and
everything In their power Is being done to minis
ter to thcircomfortand thearrest of the disease.
As a result of their examination they hive to
assure their fellow-citizens, that under the provi
dential occurrence of this disease within theirbor
dcra, everything is being done which a duo regard
to their interests demands. The disease has oc
curred and the victims of It must bo cared for
somewhere, and they do not sec where they can bo
cared for better than they are now.
The only suggestions they desire to make to dis
charge faithfully their duty and the responsibility
devolved upon them in the premises, arc: That a
new structure be erected for hospital purposes,
midway between the present site of the hospital
r.nd the western border of the camp, and
that an efficient guard be thrown around
the same, to completely isolate the sick from
all communication with the well. That perfect
non-intercourse be established between the camp
end the city until an entire subsidence of the dis
ease. That all bodies of deceased patients be in
terred at least six feet beneath the surface of the
ground. That thorough ami perfect vaccination
no introduced, under direction of the authorities
of the cauip. And that all clothing aud other
fruits of contagion be burned as soon as possible.
"With these precautions, they feel that onr citizens
may yield all alarm, that no extension of the dis
ease need be apprehended, aud that It will soon
cease to exist among them.

Tli© New Common Council.
Tbe new City Charter divides the city into .
sixteen wards, instead of ten, as heretofore,
thus allowing thirty-two members for the
Common Council, Instead of twenty, the
present number; and the Charter also pro
vides that one Alderman shall be elected from
each of the wards this spring—ten of the
present incumbents holding over—thus bene
fiting some sections of the city at the ex
pense of others.
By this manifestly unfair measure, there
will he ten Aldermen in the next Connell who
do not represent any wards at all in reality—
members of the old Connell, elected from tbe
old wards, and by a pleasant Action supposed
to represent new wards. By this proceeding
some wards will be represented by one mem
ber, some by two, and possibly even by three.
The injustice of this Is palpable at first sight.
The new Charter should make a new deal,
but it has become a law, and cannot be al
tered in its rending. In lieu of amendment,
we propose to these ten Aldermen to resign
their seats, and In this proposal wc appeal
simply to their sense of honor and honesty.
TVfcy d° they wish to retain scats in the Coun
cil, imagining that they represent certain
Wards, when they were never elected from
these Words V For instance, how can Aider
men Hahn and Schall hold First Ward scats,
the new districting accidentally throwing
them into that ward, when they have never
received the first suffrage from that Ward ?
Will they, looking at the matter as a point of
honor to themselves, and courtesy to citi
zens, insist upon retaining those scats ? Tbe
Republican portion of the hold-over delega
tion, and Alderman Sbimp from the Demo •
cratic wing, are willing to give up their
claims and have a new deal. Will the balance
come forward and with equal candor and man
liness trust themselves to the people, or will
they insist on representing wards from which
they were never elected ? Speak out, gentle
men ! Let the people say whether they want
yon or not.
The Old Folks’ Concert.
The Old Folks’ concert at Bryan Hall last
evening was one of the most pleasant musical
entertainments given this winter, and was
listened to by a large and delighted audience.
The troupe Is composed of three eopranists,
three contraltos, two tenors, and three bas
sos, with an orchestra of first and second
violin, clarinet, comet, trombone and double
boss, the whole under the lead of Father
Kemp. All of the members of the troupe are
habited in the costumes of a century ago, and
arc In fact living copies of the old worthies
of revolutionary days, looking for all the
world as If they had just stepped down from
the timc-mellowcd old pictures that decorate
the walls of historical and antiquarian socie
ties. The costumes arc exceedingly rich and
have been prepared with strict accuracy of
cut and finish.
Tbe first part of the programme was com
posed of the old fugues, anthems and Conti
nentalers, the sturdy music of which our
grandfathers and grandmothers used to peal
out before and after tenthly, in the days when
the delicious luxuries and sensual harmonies
of the modem opera would have been regard
ed in the same light that the old Knicker
bockers looked upon the innovations of tbe
■waltz. It was a luxury, however—a relief to
the musical bonbons and sweetmeats we
have been feeding upon this season, to listen
to old Bridgewater, Korthflcld, Ocean, Ma
jesty, the Ode to Science rich In Revolution
ary memories, and the wailing old minor fu
gues with their stately rythm and sonorous
cadences. Oh I those old tunes! Though
driven ont by the more artistic and intellect
ual music of the day, how their rough, un
couth melodics and ponderous, sledge
hammer harmonies haunt us! How they con
jure up the sacred bygones and defy ns to
laugh at what the judgment often pronounces
ridiculous. They come to us, solemn as
dirges,* speaking eloquently of the dead past,
and we must respect them. In oil the old
pieces, the chorus was very effective, result
ing largely from the fact that while It was
powerful, the parts were very evenly balanced.
The second part of the programme was
composed of modem ballad music, solos,
duos, quartettes and choruses. Mrs. Nichols,
the soprano soloist, is a singer of unusual ex
cellence. Her voice is one of large range and
very sweet throughout Us entire compass.
Her upper register is clear and almost Ante
like, and her whole voice very fresh and
sweet. She was received very enthusiasti
cally, and received several encores.
Mr. 'Whitney is one oi the best tenors that
has ever sung in this city. Wc can remember
but two voices wc prefer to his—Brlgnoli’s
and Perrin’*. His upper tones are vocal per
fections, clear, sweet and sympathetic. He
uses his whole voice in most excellent taste.
The male quartette is also well trained and
composed of unusnally fine voices, blending
Into most admirable harmony.
The second concert will occur this evening,
and we advise all of our readers who would
spend a most delightful hour, to go to Bryan
Hall.

Chicago, March 11.1803.)
Editors Chicago Tribune
Gentlemen —The Chicago 71mes publishes
this morning in n garbled form, the letter
wbichl had prepared in answer to several at
tacks made npon me through their columns,
by a certain broker of this city. Mr, Storey,
under whose instruction these articles are
published, alleged as a reason for refusing to
publish any letter, that I attack an imagin
ary person whom I style their “correspond
ent,’’ and then proceeds to give the public to
understand that no one has acted os his in
former, but that he has acted npon his own
information in the premises. Now it happens
that I called at theTu/** office lost evening,
and Mr. Story not being present, I was in
formed by Mr. Worden, one of the proprietors,
that Mr. Story was the man to whom oil the
information which they had on the subject
had been imparted, and that the party who
' furnished the information had not
advised with any one but Mr. Story.
Now if Mr. Story is prepared to say
that no one bos acted as his informer in the
mutter, I shall be prepared to denounce him
as a liar, and shall be warranted in doing so
by his general reputation, and by Mr. Wor
den’s own statement. But setting this evi
dence entirely aside, if Mr. Storey shall still
be prepared to say that no one has counseled
with him In regard to the articles which were
to, and have appeared in his paper. I shall still
be prepared to prove him to be a liar, because
I have direct information, from a man whom
this broker takes to be his friend, that the
said broker and speculator has furnished the
Tima with all the knowledge which they have
of the matter. The fact Is. X have got this
broker fund speculator on the hip, for while
I never bought a barrel of highwincs in my
life, he is at this time the owner of about one
thousand barrels, all of which were purchased
only a few days after the forced letter was
published. This fact, coupled with that of his
knowing that he was the party who had per
petrated the fraud, will enable the public to
tee why it is that he evinces so much anxiety
in endeavoring to get some one into the boat
with him, but if the public are not generally
convinced in whose wood pile the nigger is
hid, at least those will who have been inti
mately associated with him in business, for
with them be has established an unquestionable
reputation forcmincntcapacUy in.committing
deeds not any less criminal under ban
this one of which he is now suspected. You
will put me under lasting obligations to you
gentlemen, by publishing this commumca
lien in connection with that which the Times
has, with so much injustice, refused to pub
lish. If the Times had published my letter, I
should have bad no occasion to notice. In any
way whatever, any of the charges or insinua
tions against me which they may be pleased
to give place in their columns.

To the Editor of the Chicago Times:
An article in yonr paper of this morning, making
seme inquiries In regard to my private business,
has been perused, ana although I nave, thus far in
life, considered it a wise policy to never answer
any each impertinent inquiries, it is my pleasure,
at this time, to act differently, and answer a fool’s
question. 1 am asked whether or no 1 am en
gaged In the speculation in highwlncs; and I an
' ewer that I am not.
The party making the inquiry says tats question
Is to the “ point,” which I cheerfully admit, trust
ing that be will nave the grace to acknowledge that
my answer is “pointed.” Here I might jnstly
rest the expose or my private affairs, having fairly
answered Inc question of your correspondent, bad
I anv desire to take advantage of the imbecility he
has displayed In the manner of putting his ques
tion, hut 1 choose to overlook that, as I hare hla
impudence, and make a clean breast of the matter
bv acknowledging that lam somewhat large y in
terested in com—from which highwlnes are chiefly

‘‘The Evergreens,”
[From theMcndota Bulletin, Feb, 28th.]
It may seem superfluous for us to say anything
in commendation of this old established well
known nursery.
Still, as long as the tree peddlers from Eastern
nurseries are abroad in the land, greatly to the
damsgc of tree planters bcrc, selling at exorbitant
prices articles not adapted to this locality, wc feel
impelled to say a word in behalf of home nurseries.
Men of long experience in our peculiar soil and
climate, arc of course more competent to make a
judicious selection for planting here than others.
Though long voyages may improve wines, we
never heard of trees being thereby benefitted.
Nurserymen use most of their receipts in paying
for labor, thus adding to the home consumption of
agricnltnral products, one of the great nececSlilca
of the West.
Hen located here, require year* to make a repu
tation, they feel anxious to sustain; whilst the it
inerant fraternity require hat one to establish
theirs, andannually select a new field of labor
where they hope ‘‘their works will not follow
them.”
The splendid Evergreens from this nursery,
planted last year in the Central Park, and pre
viously in the grounds of Henderson Institute,
and numerous private yards about town, famish
abundant evidence that Mr. Edwards understands
how to handle Evergreens.
Again we urge our citizens, whether In news
papers or nurseries, to patronize home institu
tions.
Ten acres of Evergreens, a good supply of White
Willow, and other nursery prodents for sale to
those who prefer to deal directly with a nursery
man.

not sustained, and our evening dispatches quote
the closing rates at a range of 57#@59. Here
there was about the same variation In rates. Early
in the day dealers paid 85@50. Alter hcaringfrom
New York some of them advanced their-figures 3

at a higher figure than 56. The decline at New

Generally, prices arc unchanged, and little has been

has subsided. Lonsdale 4-4 are jobbed at 83c: 3-4,
25#c; Holyoke A 4-4,8% c; Waltham X 83 Inch,

Drills.— The market Is active. Government
contracts arc being issued In the West for drawers,
to be made of drills, and all goods that could be
picked op under 40c have been taken, and to-day
sales of 200 to 800 balsa of outside lots have been
made at 40c, chiefly on orders recelredby telegraph.
Early in the week 383tf0 was paid. Drills are most
wanted of anything in the cotton goods market.

Silesia s—Arc unchanged for two or three weeks.
Victory C. are 85; Lonsdale 32c.
Prints.— With most of the commission houses
the market has been quiet this week, and we find
few new features or interest to record. Light
colors are still quite scarce with both first and
second hands, but the Jobbers arc having sneb a
light trade that their previous purchases suffice,
to a great extent, for their present wants. Par
ticularly nice styles are finding buyers, however.
We learn that 60 cases of Richmond's new light
colors were sold to-day at 24c, net. As soon as
the Jobbers have an active demand trom the conn
trrjtrade, it Is expected that they will have to buy
freely of frnthcr supplies of light colors. Prices
arc very firm indeed. Merrimack. Cocheco and
Hamilton dark colors are Jobbed at 23c, not;
Spragues S3#c, net: American 23c: Donnell 22#c;

woolks noons.
Faxct CAssnntnss.— Wo hare different reports,
£n a different bouses, this week. Goods that were
advanced 12#c per yard last week, arc less active.
Those that remained firm at previous prices have
continued in demand. Sales nave been effected at
a higher range of prices, however, than in any
previous week of the season. Single width, all
wool, Connecticut made goods have sold to the ex
tent of 100 pieces at $2. The decline In gold
has hod less effect upon woolen than upon cotton
goods. Goods arc still sold close upon production
end houses that meet the market, and believe in
telling at fair prices when people want to hay.
have bad no reason to complain of want of busi
ness. Silks that are offered at fair prices continue
to meet with ready sale. Very few are below $1.75.
and several makes are as high as $2. Double and
twists ate scarce as ever, and command ready sale.
Crape and basket weavings, and cords, in fine
blacks, are not to be found offered for sale, except
in the hands of Jobbers. Indigo blue and red
checks, all wool, ere very appropriate for coatings
or salts, andbriog good prices. A fine faced spring
coating Is a rare article, in both silk and all wool,
and we believe the time is coming when 6-4 will
be the choice of buyers. Instead of the exceptional
preference as they have ordinarily been. Plain
meltons are scarce In light colors. Fancy meltons
arc produced largely, but sell quickly. Among the
buyers this week, out of town men stQl predomi
nate. It is believed that March, although heavy,
will not be equal to January and February trade,
and that April will he still lighter, probably clos
ing up this early active spring season. Buyers
who nsnallrpurchase in April, have bought in Jan
uary and February this year. Heavy goods are
still persistently called for by California trade, and
others who pretend to want for that market.
Skt Blue Kebsets.— The market Is higher this
week, and bolde's are very firm, although there is
a large amount on tho market Offers to pnrehaso
large lots atii.SS have been refused, and most
holders are asking $1.87jf®1.60, below which man
ufacturers could not aflbrd to make new goods. It
Is generally estimated that over three million
(3,ooo.ooo)yards are on the market hut this seem
ingly large amount will he hut a trifle when the
Government comes in the market To give a
single suit to our army of 600,000 would require
7,200,000 yards, and to give them three suits, which
they need in the course of the year, and must have
this year, would require 51,600.000 yards.
Sattsets—The market has been very active dar
ing the past ten days, and all goods to be found on
tho market have been cleaned out Two or three
leading firms have been buying all they could get
held of. In the hands of the jobbers the stocks
are ascertained to be very light, indeed are nearly
ns scarce as in the package market Very few job
bing houses have stocks, and find difficulty In get
ting them. There are no considerable quantities
in the hands of speculators, or, if there are, these
holders have much confidence and do nst let their
possessions be known. The large demand of late,
and tho advance in prices, has stimulated the pro

[From the Commercial Enlletin,Fcb. 17.]
The fluctuations in gold are exerting a pernicious
Influence In the Dry Goods market, as well as upon
other branches of business; not that the perma
nent cheapening of goods by a reduction of cost In
the raw material could in any light bo deemed an
evil—but because, without effecting this, these
fluctuations putat faulttbe most prudeut business
calculations, unsettle the market and keep buyer
and seller wide apart while watching the current of
events. While there are as yet no symptoms of
softening or weakness in the price of cotton goods,
and holders continue firm, purchasers, on the other
band, are standing aloof, and counting on the pos
sibilities of a reactionary movement, to such an ex
tent as to cause a general stagnation of business.
The issue seems to be, not between those legiti
mate causes which in the operation of the laws of
trade regulate the market value of commodities,
but between the bulls and bears of the specie mar
ket—and we suppose there is no other alternative
for business men but to wait patiently and sec
which of these gambling monsters shall come off
victorious. One probable effect of this state of
tilings may be, however, to bring Western Layers,
who may think the present moment auspicious tor
securing stocks, precipitately into the market, so
that the present dnlness may be speedily trans
formed into extreme activity, which in view of
the scarcity of goods cannot fiUl to enhance
price*.
We give no quotations of cotton goods this
week, as sales have been Insufficient for a predi
cate, and price* arc nominally unchanged. We
should add, however, that there is a growing
scarcity of bleached fabrics, which has rendered
these descriptions very firm, and that some of oar
standard print agents, in the face of the decline in
cotton, have, within the last few days, marked up
their light spring styles, which are in very limited
6 sh/woolen goods market does not share tnis
temporary depression to a great extent, as there is
no decline, and apparently no prospect of one In
the raw material, let gold premiums rule as they
may. On the contrary, both wool and its fabrics
tend steadily upward, and there is a fair degree of
activity in toe market, limited only In some cases
by the scarcity of desirable styles of goods. Fan
cy caasimcrca, particularly, of qualities suited to
the New England trade, are in argent request, and
higher prices are realized fortbem.
The market fordresa goods, especially Of foreign
manufacture, is less buoyant than last week, being
affected by the causes which regulate the price of
exchange.

Boston Flour Market—march 7.
The reaction in gold has unsettled tbe flourmar
ket, and as both buyers and sellers are in suspense
as to future mutations of the great regulator of
values, but little business is doing at the close.
The inquiry for export is very limited, aa owing to
tbe open winter in Europe prices in tbe foreign
market rule too low to afford a margin of profit to
tbe shipper. Holders, however, manifest hut lit
tle disposition to make concessions, and the regu
lar trade are taking their supplies for consumption
at previous rates. Speculative transactions, how
ever, for the time being are suspended, and prices
for large lots arc mostly nominal. On the whole,
we have hut little alteration to make from last
week’s quotations.
•We quote western superfine, $7.0C07.25; com
mon extras $7.5008.00; medium $9.2508.75. and
