FINANCE AND TRADE
Boston Wool Market.
BosroN, February q

BoSTON, February Y.
There has been considerable excite
ment in the wool market during the
past week, with the usual consHmptlve
demand supplemented by speculative
movement; the transactions foot up
very large aggregate, and prices, fer all
desirable grades, have advanced. Man
ufacturers have been operating quite
freely for several weeks past, picking
mn round lots of choice fleece wool, in
quiet way, wherever they were TO be
had at current rates. The stocks, III
consequence, have been materially re-
duced. But during the last few days
buyers have appeared in force, and
large sales have been made, both for
consumption and on speculation, i'm
parting great strength to the market,
and concentrating the supply of staple
in few hands.
The movement has been principally
III fine tleeces. of the extra and double
grades. which have hitherto been sell
ing at comparatively low prices, and on
that accOuut-as we'll rs for the reason
that they are wanted for immediate
consumpton-have held cut strong
temptation to buyers for investment.
Several large dealers, with plenty of
capital, thought they saw, in this con-
ditiou of things, good opportunity to
make handsome profit, and hence they
have entered not only this, but the
Providence, New York and Philadelphia
markets, and secured controlling in
terest in the supply of choice woods.
The spectators have thus rather
stolen q march upon the army of actual
consumers, who thought they had the
field to themselves, and could take their
own time to buy up the balance of the
clip. They will now have to pay an
additional profit to those holders who
have lately got control of the market,
since no recourse to the country for
supplies, the latter will of course, be in
a position to dictate terms.
Pulled woods continue in good demand
at gradually improving prices, and all
we'll grown and graded lots of super are
taken as fast as received. Extras are
also beginning to sell more freely, and
at the relatively low prices current, are
being taken as a cheap substitute for
the corresponding grade of fleece.
Combipg and delaine fieeces continue in
active request, and the scarcity of these
grades is such that consumers readily
pay extreme rates for all good lots OF
native. while Canada is held at prices
which afford no margin to worsted man
utacturers, even at their advanced rates
for products. California woods are in
demand, and good conditioned Fall clip
is selling as fast as received. Foreign
is without movement, with the eXcep-
ton of carpet grades.
Sales of domestic for the week have
been large, and foot up about 1900, 900
lbs, at a range of 45a6Oc for fleece and
43a55c for the various grades of pulled.
In Combings sales 1000 lbs SOC; 500
lbs Canada 72ic; $500 lbs domestic 67ic.
In California, sales 500 lbs Fall clip
| 30c: 80 900 lbs do 2Ss3Oc.

Allegheny live stock Market.

ALLEGHENY, hdICu -
CATTLE-The number on sale this
week was 900, large increase over last
week. Notwithstanding the number,
the market ruled firm and prices of good
cattle were fully sustained. The prin-
cipal buyers were butchers, there being
no eastern buyers in attendance. A
considerable number were driven to the
Central Stock Yards. We quote prime

request al 4 00a6 90 per cwt, and fresh
milk cows at 40 O0a70 10 per head.

changed, with but light demand. In
a retail way prices ranged at II OOa13 90
per cwt.
SHEEP-The number on sale was
about 600 head, light supply. The de-
mand, however, was small, and the
market consequently was dull. Good to

well Attested Cure of Catarrh


DR.. 4. P. LIGHTHILL-DEAR SR:-Your
treatment in the cure Of my Catarrh has had
tho desired effect, and resulted in permanent
good to me, although my case has frequently
been pronounced incurable, and had exhaust
ed all other modes of treatment, without the
least benefit. Ny case was 50 chronic and
troublesome that by giving few of the symp'
toms the value of your treatment can be more
readily estimated. For years l had been affiict-
ed with a constant cold in the head, obstructing
my breathing 80 as to necessitate me to keep my
mouth open duris sleep latterly, the discharges
became solidifed and impacted in my nose to
such an extent that it required the greatest eI
ertion to eIpel them. Sometimes these hard
ened Jumps would get in my throat, causing me
to hawk and scrape even by the hsur to relieve
myself Ny breath was offensive; my memory
became impaired. Dizziness and light head
ness made their appearance, and of late symp
toms of paralysis stepped in and when places
myself under your care one side of my face wa
sadly affected by this dread disease. Ny gen
eral health suffered alike, there was a constant
tired, drowsy and debilitated feeling. with nc
energy to move or act; felt as tired on rising
in the morning as did on going to my bed, my
appetite was capricious and nay disposition
morese In that condition placed myself un
der your care, and am happy to state that al
those disagreeable and dangerous symptoms
have entirely left me, and l once more enjoy the
benefits of good health.
,Ls uri11
others similarly affected and oblige me.
Yours truly, JAMES SOMMERVILLB,

bers in New York, headed by A. L. Stew
art, waited on General Grant and COM
pleted the purchase OF his house iol
presentation to General sherman; r W
handing him check for 500, OOO: ln0
committee subsequently obtained an III
terview with General Grant, when Mr.
Stewart, holding in his hand the SUI
scription papers and deed ana Dill VI
sale. addressed General Sherman as ioi-
lows:
GeNERAL-It is a great pleasure TO me
tn he the medium of presenting th,s
voluntary subscription of your triends
and fellow-countrymen. If there ever
was an instance of the pleasaIe
being greater to give tnan 70
receive, this is certainly that one:
assure YOU this may be accepted WIN
ont any feeling of obligation on your
mart, as it is contributed in the sincere
belief that your noble and effective
services in behalf of our country III ner
honr of peril can never be compensated.
We trust that the kind Providence
which in past watched over, guided and
nrotected YOU on the battlefield and IN
the camp raay bless you with long
life that YOU may enjoy the reward OF
a faithful public servant from a free and
happy people. 60,
M. Stewart then handed General
Sherman the subscription list and deed
and bill of sale, remarking that the bal
ance of the subscription, now amount
ing to nearly 100000, wonld be for
warded to him in few days, and after
the names shall have been obtained OF
= few gentlemen who desired TO con-
tribute, adding that a portion OF the
sum had been subscribed by General
Sherman's friends in Boston, whose
names would be added to the list.
General Sherman seemed much at
fected, and replied that this noble act
of kindness was entirely unexpected by
him until within few days past; that
in view of his coming to Washington,
he had been engaged in making ar
rangements for living here in manner
proportonate to his income, and in an
humble but modest style. OF course
this gift would enable him to live IN
different manner than he had contem-
plated and he assured the gentlemen that
il should be held by him for the special
benefit of his family aud education OF
his children; that beyond this purpose
he intended TO never touch himself one
dollar of it; that apart from this he de-
sired the committee to understand lie
should always be happy to welcome
them in what might be regarded as
their house while visiting Washing
ton, in order that he might know Them
and they him more Intimately, and that
he could not further express his Crate
full sense of their kindness so unexpeet-
ed and so generously accorded. He
then shook hands with ell present, and
the committee after brief and pleas
ant conversation withdrew.

Indian Affairs.

ST.. LOUIS, March "a letter in the
Republican dated Camp Supply, Indian
Territory, February Ii, gives the FOL
lowing account of affairs in the indian
country:
/ left General Sheridan's head-quar-
ters on the morning of the 10th inst, en-
route for General Carrs camp, located
on San Francisco creek, a tributary OF
the North Fork of the Canadian river.
On the night previous to my leaving,
General Gustav returned from his fruit
less search for the Cheyenne camp; hav'
ing travelled from General Sheridan
camp near the mouth of Medicine Bluff
creek, at the eastern extremity of tn,
Washita mountains, about one hun
bred and sixty-five miles west
finding trails fresh and al
Indians going rapidly south and west
toward the head waters of Red river
and the staked plains. There are now
about two hundred lodges of CheyeBnes,
ninety lodges OF Arrapahoes and sixty
lodges of Camanches on the war path,
together with few plain Apaches and
a few Kiowas and the Dog soldiers,
under Tall Bull, chief of the band, num-
bering in all about one thousand war
riOrs. General Custer is now under
orders to move west with his regiment
of the Seventh U. S. Cavalry and the
Nineteenth Kansas. volunteers, under
Colonel era wford, to Elm Fork OF Red
river, scouting the country south from
the head waters of that creek.
General Z. A. Carr Is to move south,
locating his supply depot on the main
Canadian, near the l0lst meridian of
west longitude, thence moving south.
Colonel Evans also moves south from
his present camp on Monument
creek, near the Tooth meridian,
on the Canadian river, having under his
command the Third u. S. cavalry and a
small detachment of the Thirtieth in
fantry; while Colonel Brooks marches
from the west toward the same region,
drawing his supplies from Fort Castor.
1t il the intention of the General com
manding to drive the hostile savages
toward one common centre, until one
or all of the commands can reach and
chastise them rs they deserveor compel
q surrender and submit to settlement
on their reservation on the terms pro-
posed by the Government.
Major Inman, A. Q. NJ, is now en-
route for General Sheridan's new sup
ply depot, located at the mouth of
Sweetw alter creek, n tributary of the
Elm Fork of Red river, with train OF
$50 wagons, loaded with forage and sub
sistence stores, supplies for Clusters
command. Supplies are being rapidly
forwarded from Forts Arbuckle and
Gibson aud the Indian campaign must
be brought to close within the next
two months. 1t is to be hoped that this
NAV be final. When the Indians are
taught what every army officer must
learn, subordinatiOn to proper authorl-
ty, then, and not till then, will HOSTILE
ties cease The 10Th United States Cav
airy, under Major Kidd, is to be station
ed at the new post to be established near
the mouth of Medicine Bluff creek, In
