give to the disappointed jcur more CONF

upon him. But the fact is. the great inan-
cial crisis that has been looked for for two
years. seems to be approaching rapidly.
Yet it is hoped that Secretary Boutwell,
Will SO manage the affairs Of the country
as to make money easy again.
The Press and Heyo7d seems to think
that Mr.. Boutwell, was the originator of
the scheme that brought about such trou-
bic in New York. 1t really seems to us
very strange that he could have been the
originator. when he took so active a hand
in checking the trouble, and that his eff
forts at least. proved to be a temporary
success. no n can doubt. We think Mr..
Boutwell, deserves great credit for the
kood he did the country. We have no
idea fF1t,be would wish to see the people
brought TO suffer, but believe he would
take pleasure in doing just what he did do
save the country financially. Notwith-
standing all this trouble was in New York

Our advice to all East Tcnnes-eans
would be. to get out Of debt as soon as
possible. and be certain not to get in again
until the prospects for money matters arc
more fattering than they are at this time.

candor, believing it to be the best advice
that we as journalist are capable Of giving.
KEEP OUT OF DEBT this year. Use

that the intelligence Of East Tennessee will
be sufficient after studying the matter

The greatest aid the government could

When the war closed and these million of

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Allegheny Live Stock Market.

ALLEGHENY, september Z.
CATTLE-The receipts this week
were considerably less than either of the
two previous weeks. The number offered
aggregate 500 head against $50 head last
week, and $50 head the previous week.
The receipts show about $50 head from
Chicago, and 400 head from Ohio and
Indiana-very few from Indiana. The
balance of the offerings were from the
adjoining counties in this State. Choice
grades were scarce, and sold readily at
about the same prices as ruled one
week ago. This quality sold at
from ODa7 IS per cwt. The greater
portion OF the offerings were composed
of stays, rough steers, thin heifers and
cows, which were nominal in price,
ranging frOm4 90 to 90 per cwt. On
account of the small offerings of good
to choice cattle, some of our best butch
ers, who never buy anything but good
or choice, were compelled to buy out Of
the medium class. There were not
many left over unsold. The lower class
of butchers got all they wanted at low
prices, and many of our stalls will,

A few sales were made at 9 7JalO 10 per

SHEEP-The offering was a little
short of last week, but fully adequate

was common in quality and brought
lominal prices-say from - per head
up to Sc per pound. The few prime to
choice sheep offered sold al 3!a4tc per
pound, and some very extra heavy at a
shade higher. Lambs sold readily at

was rather more active than last week,
