COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.


Business is active, and prices rather more
steady. The warm weather has stimulated
purchases for consumption. Brown shirt
ings and sheetings are rather lower, but
blcuchcd goods are firm, and not in super
abundant supply. Drills are rather scarce
and active AT the recent concession. Prints
ale more active and steady in price, with n
reduced stock. GinghamS scarce and
steady. Lawns are lower. DelaineS firm.
Stripes are active and well sustained in price.
Ticks are also in request. The wooden mar
ket is moderately active. Delaiues mostly
so, but ut depressed prices. Seisonable goods
OF desirable style have been selling freely.
Only the finest grades of fancy caSSlmereS
sell well. SatinetS are dull. Shawls are dull
for the season. and are low in price. The
utmost activity prevails in imported goods,
which are, however, selling at very low price
below cost OF impor:atiOn-but, neverthe-
less, interfering greatly with the demand for
home made fabrics. All dress goods of deSi-
rable styles are very active, both in private
and at auction, and the lmportations con-
tinuc active Low priced undesirable styles
are abundant, but sell. All worSted and
wooden dress goods, shawS, dclaineS, fancy
and staple silks, English prints, and bleached
COttOnS find ready market, the low prices
securing the sale. The auction sales are
large and heavy. The finer silks are sought
Tor. Linens are active at good prices. The
fail in gOl has acted with great force on the
foreign dry goods market, as it has enabled
importers to remit home Mt less cost of eN-
change than was calculated on when they
ordered the goods: and the great shipment OF
cotton has worked to this end.-NetV York

Testimonial of the most distinguished
Artists to Steinway d Sons.
New YORK, December, 1861.

NEW YORK, December, 1864.
The PianOfOrteS Grand Square and Up
right, manufactured by MeSsrS. SteinWay &
Sons, have established for themselves so
worldwide n reputation that 1t is hardly pos
sibie for us TO add anything TO their Just fame.
Having thoroughly tested and tired these
instruments personally for years, both in pub
lie and private, It becomes our pleasant duty
to express our candid opinion regarding their
unQueStioned superiority over any other
Piano known to us
Among the chief points OF their uniform
ness and UOlItnIe Of Tone combined JCih n rare
bT-iLiuncy, cLerTneSs and perfect ercNnesS
throughout the entire scale, and, ADORE all, q
S,trprising duration Of sound, He pure and Syr,-
pathetic quality Of JCltich 1lereT changes under
uIe most delicate or pOIUeEtti touch.
This peculiarly is found exclusively in the
Steinway Piano, and together with the
matchless precision, elasticity and prompts
ness of action always charcterizing these iu-
StrumentS, as well ms their unequalcd duTa-
bility under the SevereSt trials. is truly SIR
Prising and claims at once the admiration OF
Steinway Pianos in all respects the best IIlStTii-
nle7ItS made in This country in Europe, use
them solely and exclusively ourselves public
priudte and recommend titGTR iHvuriIby IN our
friends and the Public.
We have at different times expressed our
opinion regarding the Pianos of various
makers, but freely and tInheSitdttn1ly pro-
nounce MeSSrS. Stetnl0Gy & Sons Pianos superior
! to them all.

The Colorado Bill inthe SENATE.

NEW YORK, April 26.-The Tribune's
special says: The Senate was the thea
tire of intense interest again to-day.
The Colorado bill being further dis
cussed and put upon its passage, the
vote stood 10 to Is, one more majority
than would have been obtained for it
yesterday, although Senator Dixon
come to-day and paired his vote. OF
the II absentees when the vote was
taken, Messrs. Cowan, Dixon, Fessen-
den, Harris, Johnson and Salisbury
were paired with Messrs. Wade, Lane
of Kansas, Henderson, Yates, Norton
and Williams. Mr.. Wright has been
conveyed 10 his home again in New
Jersey. Messrs. Anthony, Morrill, and
Brown are claimed to have been in ia
vor of the bill, and Mr.. Nesmith against
it. A full Senate would doubtless have
resulted in a vote of Is to 81. The sue
cess of the measure in the House is as
sured. The flop over of MIR. Doolittle
from his previous vote for it to his vote
to-day against it, the appearance of Mr.,
Dixon from his sick room, and the eX-
cessive opposition of those claiming TO
monopoliZe the; Presidents wishes lead
to apprehensions OF veto, though the
President is upon the record in its IA
vor by a special message urging his ad-
mission. Senators Foster, Sumner,
Edmonds, Grimes and Poland voted
with the opposition, to the disappoint.
ment and regret of those who regard
the integrity and unity of the Republi-
can party as of special consequence at
this juncture.

in a way which proved him to be master of the
subject. The lecturer tinued to eluoidate the
subject, and interspersed his remarks With
humorous anecdotes, which highly delighted
the audience. The speaker here went into q
n mute description and close analysis of the
subject, which clearly proved him to be pro-
found thinker.
Alter the applause had some what subsidized,
the lecturer gave several very apt quotations.
Indeed, his bne dramatic style was truly grand,
and seemed to hold his hearers in one continued
thread of enchantment. (Great cheerng) The
scenes Of sorrow aud anguish which the lecturer
here depicted, with such pathCs, we're really
affecting; and many dim eve might have been
seen among that motley gathering. The lee
turer paused, as II overcome By his own feel
lngs, AT that moment dead silence pervaded
the whole house.
The lecturer then made some very startling
revelations, which, had we time and space, we
would give to our readers, but we must proceed
to the most important parts of this most elo-
quent lecture.
After great cheering, the lecturer proceeded
to give a clear and sucCinct account of the
whole aflair-giving the rise, progress, and sub
sequent events with such cearness that the
whole audience felt as though they we're actors
in the scene.
AT this point, there was slight disturbance,
owing to the great thrOng Of people at the door
pressing forward to gain admittance to the in
terror of the room. But, by the great care
which had been bestowed upon the police ar
rangements, the disturbance was only moment
ary, the outsiders we're ousted, and order
The speaker resumed where he had left off,
and continued the thread OF his narrative un-
broken TO the end, except when the enthusiasm
OF his hearers became so great that he was
compelled TO stop, by reason OF the deafenng
applause.
The lecturer then concluded by giving some
very important statistics bearing upon the sub
eCt, which, viewed in the light ofscience, cannot
help but advance our interests, both at home
and abroad. The lecturer here paused to remark
that he hoped the subject would be considered
worthy OF their special attention and kind con-
sideraton; that he was willing at any time to
employ his time and talents on their behalf, and
a sufficient reward to him would be to know
that he had done his whole duty to the best of
his ability. Great cheering
The speaker then made some alluson to pass
ing events, and prophesied a greatness for the
future which, if we would patiently wait long
enough, we would all see.
The lecturer then gave retrospective glance
at the past, covering the whole ground of his
DIS course: reproducing so vividly his images to
the imagination that it would seem impossible
for time to etlace them. After the lecturer had
finished his lecture, he sat down on his seat
amid deafening applause. WALTON.

MEETING OF THE FIRST cow CONGRESS

Organization of the Pennsylvania Cham-
ber of MIX at Chester, Pa.-Attempts to
bring the Citizens of PhiladeIphia up
10 the "ChaIk," Etc.
Last week a meeting of the Darymen who
supply Philadelphia with che pure sky-blue
article was held in the enterprising village of
Chester, 10 take into consideration the subject
OF raising the price on the milk Gas that is the
only thing that can be raised on it) also to have
the charges of freight on the milk-cans by the
Philadelphia, Wilmington md baltimore Rail
road reduced.
The meeting was called to order by placing
Farmer Manglew urtzel in the chair. On taking
the chair he said that he thought this Congress
would outrival the Thirty-niIttin Congress at
Washington, as the members of this body were
from the Agricultural community, and are the
"creane" of the country, while that Washington
crowd was the mere "skimmings." (Cheers.)
He continued by saying that, so far as his in
Ruence went, he was in favor of raising the price
of milk, as no one could doubt the justice Of
every man having his own "whey" with his own
property Gentlemen, 1 allude to the curds and
whey. (Cheers, and cries of "Joke joke!"D l
will not detain this body with my remarks, a.
there are abler men here to speak and business
of Importance to be transacted. In conclusion,
necessary debate INDUCED in, neither oX-hide
gas or cow-hide, but plain talk, as becomes men
who live by dispensing the pure milk and water
of life. Qmmense cheerirg.)
Mr.. Snapshort, OF Norrstown, rose and said
that he once wrote for an Agricultural paper
published in Manayunk, and had always advo-
Gated rise in the price of milk, and for that
some of his brother editors had termed him a
''bull in MILK Farmer Durham here rose ana
said he had never hearn tell of sch thing as
bull in milk, and didn't believe it. The Chair.
man called Durham to order, and Snapshort
continued-"And always believed in raising
the price of milk; also to discourage the use of
the new things out in milk, such as the Jersey
Mixers and other machines intended to take
the place of hand power in coaxng the milk out
OF the cow"
DR.. H. Eifer, of Marcus Hook said that the
COWS in his neighborhood kicked strongly
against the reduction in the price of their milk
Farmer Durham again rose and said she
could cure any cow from kickin' agu any
thing.n Durham was called to order.
The gentleman from Marcus Hook here sub
mitted very fine specimen of
