FINANCE AND TRADE,
Boston WseoI Market.

BOSTON, May 10.
The receipts for the week have been
2O9O bales, against 2134 bales for the cor
responding week of last year. The sales
for the week amount to 709, 900 pounds
of domestic, and $4,000 pounds and 157
sales of foreign.
There is but little change in this mar
ket since our last report either in de-
mand or price. Manufacturers are look
ing over the market frequently, but they
buy sparingly and only as the exigencies
of their business demands. Stocks of
fleece wool are being quite rapidly re-
duced, and of some grades there is no
assortment whatever. Prices are not
quotably changed, but cash or short
time buyers claim to have found
sellers who were willing to
make a concession in order to
effect sales. Pulled woods are decidedly
dull, and the stock here is in excess of
the amount usually held at this season.
There is some inquiry for long stapled
and Eastern supers, but common grades
and extras are not wanted, although
they are offered at lower rates. Cali.
fornia wool remains dull with but little
demand. Canada wool is out of the
market, and the last invoices were
closed out at 75c. Foreign wool has
been quiet and the market is dull. Adj
vices from Michigan and some sections
of Ohio indicate that the new clip will
not open at prices as high as were an
ticipated month ago, and that farmers
will be disposed to sell at 40 to 42c.

New YORK, May l9.-The Worlds
Havana correspondent says: When a
Government vessel lately arrived there
with load of wounded, the press were
forbidden to publish any facts connect
ed with the event. 1t tTanspires, how
ever, that General Lesea had fight
with the insurgents nine miles from
Puerto Principe with a terrible result
for them. Although the column was re-
ported to have Suffered dd ;fG l lTssS O. q
Lieutenant Colonel, a captain, six men
killed and thirty wounded, two hun
dred were wounded.
A witness places the insurgent loss at
200 men. Better information, however
shows that the result was far more ter
rible to the SpaniardS than to the in
surgents, and that the Spaniards suf-
tered greater defeat than they have
experienced since the revolution began.
1t appears that Quesada and Costello
had gathered 1000 of their troops at Los
Mlnos and entrenched. Generals LeOna
and Lesea came along with a large
body of Spaniards and assaulted the
position. They would have carried II
but for the timely arrival of Lacio. who
unexpectedly attacked one of the tianks
of the Spaniards. Still the Spaniards
would have won but for battalion OF
Havana oolored volunteers turning
on their officers and passing over to the
insurgents, aiding them effectually IL
the struggle.
The Spanish troops then gave way
This was the first attempt to use colored
troops. The Catalan volunteers Gov
cred the retreat of the Spaniards but
they were frequently thrown into con-
fusion and lost severely. Many of the
best and bravest of the Spanish officers
are reported killed and wounded.
This correspondent also says there is
no truth in the reported convention OF
revolutionists at Llnaacu, at which res
olutiOns favoring annexation to the
United States were adopted. 1t is a
question whether a majority of the rev.
OlutiOnists favor annexation.
Later dispatches say that the Span
lards In the battle mentioned above lost
nearly all their provisions, wagons, bag
gage train, &c, and part of their artil-
lery. The insurgents had over 1000 men
and the Spaniards $500. The fight last.
ed nearly seven hours.

There is much talk in military circles
over the publication of the orders pro-
initiating the opinion of the Dyer
Coprt. 1t contains q very careful re-
view of all the charges made by the
mint committee on Ordnance, founded
mon sworn testimony and the cross
examination of witnesses. The stand
ing of General Thomas, the President,
and of General Holt, the Judge Advo-
cate, give more Importance to the paper
in the eyes of military than any similar
one issued for many years. The matter
is summed up in single sentence, that
no further proceedings are necessary in
the matter of the complaints against
Dyer.
Removal OF Disabilities.
The Clerk of the Reconstruction COM
