The local money market is steady. There
is fair demand for loans, but no pressure,
and the market rules comfortably easy for
currency, some of the banks reporting q
very easy market
Eastern Exchange continues generally
close, though one or two Of the banks are
better supplied than a week ago, and report
their condition moderately easy. There is
none of consequence making through pro-
ducs. Rates are steady at par buying and
I-1O premium selling.
The Board of Trade to-day inaugurated
the arrangement agreed upon last week of
meeting at half past IL o'clock in the fore
noon instead of . in the afternoon, and re-
ceiving a special market report from New
York. It will require a few days to perfect
the new plan, SO far as relates to the New
York dispatch, but once got in proper work
ing order and it is believed it will prove of
general advantage.
The general markets TO- day were steady,
and business was fair. Flour continues to
rule about as previously reported. The de-
mand is circumsoribed to trade lots. Prices
of high grades are firm, but common quail
ties are irregular, and the range wide. A
fair milling demand for spring Wheat is
maintained, and prices are steady, with per-
haps a shade frmer feeling to-day among
holders, though no advance upon Saturdays
figures was asked. Corn was in fair request
to-day at a decline of 2@24c. Oats were
quiet and steady. Provisions were in quite
good demand to-day, and prices steady and
unchanged. There is no decided change 10

New Books.

TIE POEKs 0F THOMAS HooD. Two volumes
in one. New York G. P. Putnam Hurd
and Houghton. 1866.
In this new edition of the poetical works of
Thomas Hood, are included all the poems
published in the Moxon Collection OF the
authors sentimental and humorous verses,
and in the four volumes of the famous Bos-
ton edition. The general appearance Of the
book is excellent. The type is clear and
the paper the very best. In their adver-
tisement the Publishers state the object Of
the volume to be "to place within the reach
of the masses, for whom they were intend
ed, the works of this great Poet Of the Peo-
ple.' The arrangement of the poems is ex-
cellent, and SOM new and valuable notes
have been appended by the the editor, Mr..
Epes Sargent.
The poems of Hood rank among the
noblest and purest of English literature.
In them is that rare combination of poetry
and humcr which teaches great moral les
sons while it amuses and delights. Their
humor never degenerates into satire, but is
always full of noble and generous sympa-
thy. It has been justly said that sin the
whole range of his comic and humoristic
works, there is not a single line Of immoral
tendency, or calculated to pain an individ-
ual." His poems cannot be too widely read
and any effort to ~popslarize them is praise
worthy.

The unimportsnt return of national nj

ported to rave seriously disappointed the
spectators for q rise in gold. There is a
material falling off in the export demand,
as was TO be expected after the unparalleled
movements of the past two weeks, and it is
probable the specie shipment this week: will
be comparatively light. The bank state
ment tonight reports the specie balance at
SO, 756, 9S9, which will probably be ample
to meet all immediate demands upon the
market. The balance in the United States
Treasury is estimated at ffty-four millions,
the larger portion of which will be avail
able for future contingencies, should any
occur. The recession in the premium will
probably be slow until speculative contracts
are off, and incidental fluctuations may &C.
casionally carry the price up, but the ulti-
mate result will doubtless be a considerable
decline from the present price. The mar

ACADEMY OF MUs1c-The standard COM
edy of Money was presented at the
Academy of Music last evening, and per-
formed, in every particular, admirably.
Few theaters, indeed, excel Manager Els
ler's in the correct and effective performance
of every kind of play, tragedy or comedy.
The company, as a whole, are Cup to time"
in ell stage movements, and so well versed
generally in the text OF the play that the
prompter's place must be nearly a sineeure.
Such a thing as q failure or a laundering
through a performance never occurs. We
have vet to remember the occasion when
the or any member of it, fell short
of what was required. Mr.. Barton Hill, a
young actor of growing fame in Boston,
made his first appearance before a Cleve-
land audience last evening as ALFRED
Evelyn" in Money" and though
the play is of the gutter sort, and
therefore not calculated to display an &C
tors depth or power, his performance was
all that it should be, showing a thorough
appreciation of the aim and spirit of the
suthor. lie made q favorable impression.
and we predict will win fine opinions from
the play-going public Tonight "our
American Cousin" and "Robert Mecaire ="
two of the popular comedies Of the day,
vii be presented.

The CLEVELAND BRANCH SANITARY CON-
mss1os.-The Soldiers Aid Society Of
Northern Ohio is still a living and working
institution. Its present business, the gra-
tuitous collection of soldiers claims, though
quietly prosecuted, is second only to that
which enlisted the sympathy and engaged
the energies of the entire people while our
armies were in the field. Since the close of
the war, the society has been ~refunding its
surplus receipts to the citizens of Ohio by
this gratuitous service TO their soldiers.
The managers have prosecuted the work
with the same energy, ability and zeal
which made the Cleveland Branch SAINT
airy Commission the most prosperous and ef-
fcient in the Union. When in May of last
year, the Central Office at Washington es-
tablished free agencies through the coun-
try, they selected a thoroughly competent
agent and at once organized for the collec-
ton Of claims. In January last when the
Central Office ceased to receive new claims,
the managers of this society here decided
to assume entire charge, and have since
collected all claims filed with them on their
own responsibility and at their own
expense. Mr.. VIM II. Gaylord, who has
been the claim agent of the
Society, has now resigned. He entered up
on his duties when the work was one of no or
binary difficulty, and organized and prose
cuted the business with marked ability and
success. Mr.. Jasper E. Williams has been
appointed 10 succeed him. Mr.. Williams
brings to the work, energy. ability and a
thorough knowledge of the business, and
viii perform his new duties faithfully and
we'll.
Al claims, whether filed at the Central
Office, or with the departments which MIR.
Gaylord had in charge, will be transferred
to his successor and settled by him.
In view of the prospective passage of the
Bounty and Pension Bills, now under the
consideration of Congress, a thorough re-
organization will be made and measures
taken to secure the claims of all Northern
Ohio soldiers. As an agency, the Soldiers
Aid Society has facilities far above any
other.
Its character as a benevolent enterprise
gives its agents free access TO the Depart
ments at Washington, and the employment
of thoroughly competent agents prevents
errors and consequent delays.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

A Broken Down Systens.-Ihere is al
sease to which the doctors give many names, but
which few Of them understand. 1t is simply weak
ness breaking down Of the vital forces. What
ever its causes land they are innumerabis), It's
symptoms are in the main the same. Among the
most prominent are extreme lsssitude, loss OF ap-
petite. loss Of flesh, and great mental depression
Indigestion and 8 Stomach Cough are also IRE
qusntly Of this distressing state Of
body and Of mind. The common remark in relation
to persons in such a condition is, that they are
c~onsumptivo. Now, what these unfortunates
really want is vigor-vital strength and as Ger
tainly rs dawn succeeds darkness they can recu-
perate their systems and regain perfect health by
r~esorting to -HosTETTER's CELEBRATED
STOMACH BITTERs. 1t is as clear that a life
reviyiDg tonic is required in such cases, as that
the dying flame Of an empty lamp requires to be
revived with a new supply of oil. Perfectly pure
and innocu0us, containing nothing but the most
genial vegetable extracts. and combining the three
grand elements of a stomachic, an Alternative, and
a genial invigorant, Hostetter's Bitters are suit
able to all constitutions, and are as applicable to
the diseases and disabilities of tbs feebler sex as TO
those OF men. mays

ENIGRAxIs.-An unusual number of emf
grants seem to be going West this season.
Mr.. C. H. Campen, Emigrant Agent at
Columbus, reports that during the week
ending Saturday, May 26th, eight hundred
and fifty emigrants passed that point west
ward bound. Three hundred and thirty
seven of these proposed to stop in Ohio, 2S4
to settle in Missouri, 1876 in Illinois, 40 in
Indiana, is in Kentucky, Q in Kansas, and
10 in Iowa. More emigrants passed through
Columbus last week than in any previous

now, in point of numbers, almost unprece-
dented.
