PRIogs.-The decline in the prices of
dry goods continues ut the auction sales
In Nrw York, and business Is very un-
settled, many owners of goods doing but
little, preferrlng 10 hold their stocks
rather than sell at the rates that prevail
now. The decline in the auction rates
of general dry goods is not less than 80
per cent, and the decline In millinery
goods from the highest points of last
month Is from 26 10 90 per cent. The
decline on wooden cloths Is equally
great. Heavy overcoat cloths, which
were held month ago at Sll IL
yard, have been sold at 1898 TO S7l3,
and beavers that We're held at 50 have
been sold at IS IS. The decline In for
elgn cloths and shawls has averaged 80
per cent. Carpets have also fallen off
largely, three-plys, rs cents a yard,
Brussels, 81, and velvet carpets in the
same proportion. These auction sales
are below the Wholesale or jobbing prices,
however, and the general market Is not
so low as these sales would indicate.
As TO purchasers, the large majority

because they must And If they find
those with whom they deal refusing to
yield reasonable decline in prices they
will transfer their trade where they can
do better or if there is general dispo'

These matters cannot be controlled by
special pleading TO any great extent,
either for or against any standard of
prices. Every consumer must keep
himself informed of the changes in the
markets and act accordingly. If he finds

GEN. SHERaAN's KINDNESS TO CITIZENS

"a friend whose wife was left an in

her request Gen. Sherman came to see
her, and finding her unable to attend to
the arrangement of her movables for
transportation, had them all bound up
nicely and transported to our lines
even to her wash tuD
The Federal General had three hours
conversation with her, and justified at
length his order for the removal, insist

were stored and duplicate receipts given
with the promise that they should be

Society was organized at Shasta last Sunday
evening, oue at Whiskytown on Tuesday, one at

passed off pleasantly. The certificates OF life
membership are elegantly engraved any person

We trust that an organization will be perfected
here. 1t is no thing that needs to be ex-
planned Every Intelligent citizen of the county
knows the object of the Sanitary Commission
the Soldiers Aid Society is simply an assistant
of the parent organization. Collectors are APP
pointed who make it their business to visit each
person in their respective districts every month,
and report as often. Our people have done nobly
in this good work in times past, and we hope to
see the proposed organization meet with encour-
sgement. Shall it be so?
