The New York Herald of Monday, in its
financial article. makes the following comments
upon the Treasury note bill. which has passed the
House. and Is now before the Senate

justly expelled from the Senate last week was
light and trivial, in practical point OF view in
comparison with the conduct of Mr.. Morrill,. OF

There has been firm feeling in the provision
market all the week. and this frmness was in
creased TO some extent by the favorable move
meIts Of the army
Mess pork was held firmly at - 1910 for
good country and the best city brands, with buy
ers at DC per barrel below these quotations. A
party who purchased , 200 brls on speculation a
month ago, concluded 10 sell out and the whole
amount was taken at 50 10. Rump pork is in
good demand, with sales of 200 barrels at Sc so
Prime mess is held at 50 %. The English and
Irish packers bought bulk sides very freely, and
about million and half pounds were taken at
4d4izc: holders asking shade higher at the
close. The demand for bulk shoulders j. limit
ed, and the only sale we heard of was l50,00U
lbs at 256c
The business done in lard has been but mod
crate which is to be attributed to the frmness of
holders, buyers not being disposed TO pay within
16c OF the rates asked, which are 65R6d631c for
country and city, but at these rates the sales sum
up 600 terces the market closing firm; keg sold
at 7e
Flour and grain did not undergo any i'm
portrait change.
Whisky has fuctuated some. closing at lie.
Green apples are scarce, and are SOC per brl
higher.
Pig iron is up to s25, cash, for hot blast, and
SOS for cold
The supply of nails is light and inadequate to
the demand. and prices are still advancing
Beef cattle advanced 25c per GENITAL and in
light supply.
In the grocery market the business has been
confined to a limited jobbing trade, and sugar is
14c per h. and molasses lie per gallon lower
Coffee is easier. but there is a firm feeling kept
up in this article.
The stocks of all kinds are light, and all par
ties buy sparingly and with reference to current
wants.
Coal and carbon oils are 5dl0c lower, but in
fair demand, however. A foolish impression is
prevailing regarding some explosions which have
taken place in using this carbon oil, attributng
them to an aduteration with spirits turpentne
and burning fluids; and we have noticed such
statements in newspapers conducted by persons
supposed To be intelligent. The absurdty of
such charges will be manifest when it is stated
that whilst this carbon oil is worth but Soc per
gallon, spirits turpentne is worth 81 10 and
burning fluid zoe. The explosive material in
this carbon oil is naptha or benzole, and unless
this Is extracted. the OIL for Illuminating pur-
poses, is excessively dangerous, and not safe in
deed to be handled in heated atmosphere at all
Hence the Importance of procuring oil which has
been properly refined and prepared by experienced
and scientific men.
Glover seed advanced to Sid 10, and timothy
to s. lOa2 20, with good demand.

GIVING POWER TO THE PREsIDENT.-The Fed
eral Senate has passed bill placing in the hands
OF the President the power to seize railroads and
telegraph lines. and convert them TO the use of
the Government. The bill is pending in the
House, and will probably pass.
Ii the President already possesses the power,
Congress ought not to interfere If he does not
possess it, either the President or his Cabinet
Ministers have been guilty of usurpatOn. In
July, at the extra session. if any member of
Congress had suggested that the exercise of this
power without the authority of Congress was a
usurpation, he would have been set down Sc
cessiOnist AMI as such hoOted and prescribed.
Congress Is coming to its senses. 1t begins TO
perceive that we have Constitution. 1t begins
to know that the President is but the servant of
the law and not its maker. Hence this bill--a
wholesome sign-Mit,raukee Neics.
