now anticipated and the country merchants begin
TO come in to repenish their stocks for the fall trade
There is no strngency at present in the money
market though the demand for funds TO pay for
crops at the West and South is increasing.

neitherwrote nor sent it to the Secretary of the

probably dictated it to some one and then got
some one to send it; at any rate, the dispatch
as printed was received in Washington and
delivered at the Treasury Department, where
all other dispatches to the Secretary are deliy-

We, the undersigned, appointed by the cor
porators of the Portland & Ogdensburg Rail
road Company and their associates a commit
tee to call public meeting of the citizens of
Portland in aid OF that enterprise, and to pre-
pare the business to be acted upon at such
meeting, hereby request the attendance of
their fellow citizens at City Hall on Monday,
the 18th inst, at IL p. M.
The questions to be. there discussed are Of
vital importance to our city. s,i ri ,1.a'..ftt
w With the building of this road we no ID the
Atlantic gateway to the commerce of the
great lake region, with its three hundred thou
sand square miles of the best agricultural
country in the North and West. We make an
important link in the great railroad chain over
the shortest, most promising and least expen-
sive route across the continent. We hold the
trade of towns in our State that will otherwise
drift off to roads now under contract having
their termini at Boston. We make a close
connection with neighboring States whose
principal commercial relations We're once with
us. and whose trade naturally gravltates to-
wards us, and can be secured by prompt ac-
| ton on our part, aud which will be equal to
an addition OF one third the present trade now
eenUering in our city, and which will be lost to
us by present delay. Canwe afford to lose
this golden opportunity? The eyes of the far
seeing business men of the country are upon
US, some with encouragement and appreciation,
others with jealousy and fear. After going so
far, can we afford to fail and lose our we'll
earned reputation, as the pluekiest and most
