Business of all kinds has slackened up, the sea-
son being over, and our merchants and manufacture
ers are making arrangements for the Fall trade.
The amount of stock to be carried over is not heavy
and will be no burthen upon the owners. The bust
ness for the season in branches of trade has ex-
seeded the antcipations entertained at the opening
oft. The sales have been unusually large and more
has been done on . cash basis than has ever been
known before. AS to commercial va ues the mar
kets, with the exception of -four are quite steady
Gold, which at our last weeks report was quot ed
at 1871 was very steadyat about that point during
the week. 1t did not go below 1877 and did not rise
above 1874. On Monday, 18th, it opened at 1874,
dropped to 1874, then advanced to 1879, closing at
the same Tuesday 18th, it opened at 1879 advanced
to 1873, then dropped and closed at the opening
price. 10 93iJC-

eligible lot on the corner of Congress and Pear

eventuate well, as the Methodist Society were

have lot on which they can place just such
an one, which, with little remodell.ng, will
well answer their purpose, and obtained, too

than the American Cow Mixer. Crowds of
persons are calling daily at the rooms of the

street. for the purpose of examining this in
vention, and all are amazed that a discovery at
once 80 simple and effective should not have
been made long ago. To every farm and dairy
in the country these machines will become as
indispensable as churns or milk pals in less

Mondays Proeeedings in Surrntt's Case.
1t seems that the Assistant District Attor-
ney's opening for the government took Sur
raft and his counsel completely by surprise
1t was some time before the prisoner regained
his composure, and Messrs. Bradley and Mer-
rick showed a good deal of Decentralization for
an hour or two. They demanded a list of the
government witnesses, but this was refused by
the District Attorney, and the Court now has
the matter under advisement. The prisoner
being out of money, an order was made that
his witnesses should be paid by the govern
ment and their attendance compelled. Sever
al witnesses was examined from whom moth
ing was elected which is new to tho public
but the important testimony of Sergent Dyer,
which we publish elsewhere, is probably part
of what was foreshadowed in the opening re-
marks for the government Dyer is an intelli-
gent man, and his words and manner are both
positive Unless he can be discredited in
some way, the prisoners fate cannot be doubt
full; especially as there are two other witnesses
who will testify that he was in Washington on
the night of the assassination. Es -l..s
