FOR THE WEEK ENDING Aug. 10, 1867.

Business transactions for the past week have been
very light and there is material variation in mar
ket values In all merchandise tor which gold has
to be paid, the market is very firm and holders are
very stiff in their prices. The prospect of album
dant agricultural crops is most cheering and glad
dening to the hearts of all consumers, who hope
for much lower prices for the staple articles of food
than have prevailed for long series OF months
There is no anxiety in dealers in foreign mer-
chandise to push off their Stocks as they feel conf
dent they can go lower, and moreover the stocks
are not superabundantly large, but just sufficient to
supply the regular, steady demand which must open
with the fall business.
Gold ruled quite steady last week at 14Odll4Ot.
The lowest point reached during the week was 1891
and the highest 14Ol, closing on Saturday at 140I.
On Monday, 18th, it opened at 14OI, advanced to
140a, closing at that price. Tuesday the market
opened at 1909, advanced to al, then dropped to
i4Os and closed at Hoo The market in New York is
entirely In the hands of SPECTATORS
APPLES-Dried apples are dull and lower and
prices still f1vor purchasers Green apples are oom-

The New GLOUCESTER CAsUALTY.-We
have received from correspondent who sub
srbes himself Gone of the Jury of Inquest"
communication in relation to the late deplora-
BILE accident in Gloucester, which resulted in
the death of Mrs. Foss. Our correspondent is
very severe upon the managers of the road by
the arelessness ofwhose employees as he al
leges-tAe unfortunate young woman came to
her death. 1t is very natural that the friends
and neighbors of the deceased should feel very
strongly upon this subject, but as the whole
affair is to be judicially investigated, we prefer
to lay before our readers the proceedings and
conclusions of the courts, rather than an e1
parte judgment of single individual 1t is,
however, proper to state that according to our
correspondents letter, Mrs. Foss few moments
before the accident occurred, remarked to one
of the persons with whom she was riding, that
there was no danger, for neither whistle or bell
had sounded; also that a physician residing in
New Gloucester recently had very narrow
escape from death at the same dangerous cross

himself in our harbor with his skiff trying a
race with steamer Gazelle, he got into the

He came up all right, and was picked up by
one of the boats and his skiff was also saved.

The ROWING MATCH.-Wilkes' Spirit of the
Times states that Hamill has thus far failed to
respond to Browns acceptance of his chal-
lenge to row five-mile race on tile Hudson

treme anxiety evinced by the Pittsburgers for
match on neutral waters, when Brown had
announced he would row nowhere but in Port
land harbor, this hesitancy is unexpected to say
the least of it.

WEALTH OF CHIEF JUSTICE CHAsE'A NC
contemplate story, which the Argus caught
up with so much avidity, relating to the I'M
n,anse income of Chief Justice Chase, has
hon exnloded. All fair-minded sheets make
h. ~, ~ retract The New York World does
o. IN the following handsome manner:
few DAYS since a brief paragraph found
its way among our personal Items, to the effect
that Mr. Chase went into the Treasury pos
sessed of very little private means, and came
out of it, and is now. very rich. We are as
sured by gentleman of this city, who is not
a political friend of the late Secretary
OF the Treasury, nor ever an adj
vocate of his financial policy, that the story is
utterly without foundation. He assures us,
and on authority that cannot be questioned,
that the limited private means Of the Chief
Justice are now about the same as they were
when he was appointed to the Treasury, and
that these means, although the same in nomln-
al amount, are in fact of much less value for
the purpose ofiiving than then, which Is q
condition of things we can all understand IN
these days Of high prices. We regret that, IN
compilation of brief personal items, this
misstatement got iuto our columns, ana II Is
but Justice to give it this prominent contradlc-
ton.
The Argus can devote almost an entire page
to the ridiculous falsehoods of a perjurer. Can
il not spare an obscure corner for the above
yindication of man whose dishonor would be
a national misfortune? ASH aidl -s sa.as
