Bacon at the close. and 6ic. for bulk
Shoulders, and 81 to ssc. for sides. the lat
ter rate for heavy; Rump Pork has been
sold at prices ranging from $l2 to Sl3, and
prime at $13 50@l4.
Whisky has been very dull the greater
portion of the week, and prices declined full
ly &c, closing at l73c.
The market continues over stocked with
Potatoes, and prices are quite irregular, so
much SO that it is difficult to give accurate
quotations.
In the Grocery market, there has been no
important change; the demand for sugar
and molasses has been quite moderate, but
both are held firmly. Coffee must be quoted
fully &c higher, with good demand. A
fair country business is doing in Groceries
but it is Stacking off perceptibly from what
it was few weeks ago.

business Summary Tor tho Past
Week.

The demand for money during the week
has been quite active. The demand for
Southern funds is quiet limited, as the gro
GERS, who have been the chief buyers, have
nearly concluded their PURCHASES for the
season in that market
This scarcity OF Eastern exchange is uu-
usual, at this season, and does not look well;
but as the season advances, there is good
reason to suppose the supply will be better,
as there is a fair amount Of Western pro-
duce still to 60 forward and more than
this, there is no inconsiderable amount held
in the East on Western account, which
must soon come into market, which must
add to the supply of exchange. The de-
mand for sight checks GA New Orleans is
limited, but the amount offering is small.
The offerings of Western uncurrent mon
ey are light. Dealers buy at II dis for Mis-
souri,, and 4(92 dis. for Illinois and Wis
consin.
Eastern exchange is very scarce at Louis
vile. The nominal rate is j premium,
but the banks draw very sparngly. At
Chicago on Saturday, the market was pref
ty we'll supplied ut prem. ON the street,
and l I prem. for bankers checks.
The adviceS from the country regarding
the crops are generally favorable, though
in various districts the wheat has been kill
ed beyond a doubt by the winter freezing
but taking the whole West together, the
crop promises To he fair, and in most places
it looks well. In some places the peaches
are killed, whilst in others they have escap-
ed. The indications are that apples and
pears will be abundant. The spring crops,
SO far, look well, so that, on the whole
there is nothing in the present aspect Of
agricultural matters to cast gloom over
the future, but quite the reverse.
The demand for Flour has been ouite
moderate and chiefly local, but the light re-
ceipts, with slight increase in the export
demand, produced firmer market.
Wheat has ruled firm and steady all the
week ; the demand has been about equal to
the supply OF winter. but spring continues
to be neglected, and is dull at 81 1901 20
whilst 81 33(o9l 40 have been obtained for
strictly choice winter.
Corn has advanced during the week the
supply is light.
The receipts of Oats having fallen Off.
prices advanced materially, and at the close
&C was obtained for them, in bulk, at the
railway stations.
Rye advanced to sc, but WAS dull at the
close, and declined to %.
A better demand for Barley, during the
greater portion of the week, aud prime fall
brought 80 the last few days
The Provision market has ruled slightly
frmer during the whole week, though the
demand has been but moderate, except for
Mess Pork and Lard, for which there has
been good demand. Some of our manu-
facturers have bought Lard quite freely, and
there has been good deal taken by Fast
ern parties ut lotc. for prime city and l0sc.
for do country. Bacon aud hulk meats
have not changed in any essential particu
lar the demand for both has been but
moderate, yet it has been niet by holder 5

CHAs. 7. BORIS ON POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY
Mr. Bolts, the editor of the Sacramento Standard
and the s'leader" and "brains" Of the Secession
party in California, was member Of the Conve1-
ton that framed our State Constitution. His
opinions on the "ngger question: seem to have
undergone radical change since 1S49, as will be
seen by the following extract from of his speech
cs before that Convention:
ssThis is the faction who, in the Congress Of the
United States contend that it does not become and
does not belong TO any people living in Territory
acquired by conquest to decide for themselves the
local question of slavery; they contend that the
power resides in the Congress of the United States
and that they might inhibt It or admit it whenever
they pleased. Against this faction, sir, appeared
faction on the other extreme. headed by Mr.. Cal
houn OF the Southern party who contended also that
it does not belong to the people Of Territory to
settle this question for themselves, but that Con-
oress could not prohibit the Southern portion Of the
country from introducing their institutions into
Territory achieved by the common blood and treas
ure Of al the States Of the Union. These were the
two extreme factions, sir; the one contending that
the power remained in Congress to exclude slavery,
and the other contending that the power was retain
ed by the North and South equally to bring all their
institutions into a conquered country. Well. sir,
between these two violent extremes appeared the
mediating portion of wisdom, both Of the North and
South, and agreed thereupon to great compromise
principle 1t was this: That the people Of the Ter
ritory should be allowed to settle the matter for
themselves and this proposition sir, we hailed with
general reclamation. When it was proposed, it
received the unanimous vote, except of these ex-
treme factions. There was a general shaking Of
hands between the North and South; between the
middle men, the wise and moderate men of both
parties. This proposition was acceded to- and they
said: We have established principle that puts this
question of Slavery at rest forever, because the
Territory of the United States will be either organ
lied into Territories or States, and slavery will
exist not. the people in the Territory or State
shall choose"

were of the first order, whose manners were ex-
ceedngly captivating, and whose early life was
one of continued triumph. A pet Of the peo-
pie, nothing that he could ask was refused, and
honors seemed to await him on all sides. In
military. legal and political achievements, he
had no equal. Honors gathered upon him al
most like magic, and at a very early age he
was made the next highest ofncer In the Gov
