Renarks-The market remains in the same dull
state as previously noticed. With dull market for
long time some holders anxious to realize but
sales to any extent are out of the question, with
Money tight and manufacturers purchasing only to
supply present wants.
In New York there is a little more inquiry in the
market but the bulk of the manufacturers still stand
aloof from making purchases, except to supply i'm
mediante wants. As the goods trade shows
signs of activity more business is looked for.
In Philadelphia the inactive condition of the trade
noted last week still continues Receipts from the
West have materially fallen off, but the stocks are
largely in excess of the demand. Some dealers being
anxious to realize prices dropped a Sc y fb. The
manufacturers in the present condition of the wooden
goods market manifest disposition to operate
cept to supply immediate wants. At the close of the
week there was better feeling.

LEWISTON, Pa, Sept. 18.-This evening a
large crowd assembled at Lewiston Junction
and when the train going west arrived, cheers
were given for Greeley while the band in atten-
dance played patriotic airs.
Mr.. Greeley appeared on the rear platform
and was introduced as ''the next President of
the United States.
He remarked that Mr. Greeley had spoken
so frequently to-day that he could say only a
few words tonight @
The crowd again cheered Mr.. Greeley who
said
Fellow Citizens, s,-You are, as 1 am aware,
still ready to exchange words of greeting and
OF patriotic companionship, and | feel sure all
OF you, equally with myself, desire the highest
good of our common counlry Let me only ex-
press the hope that without prejudice or par
tlalIty, without hatred or wrath toward any
section, that you will act SO as to secure the
happiness of the people, and unite them all in
common cause, that our country, great and
prosperous and free, may go forward in tri-
umph till time shall be no more.
Ex-Gov. Randolph of N. j., and ex-Gov.
Bigler of Pa, made short addresses promising
the electoral votes of their respective States by
large majority, for Greeley and Brown.
Owing to the noise at the junction, including
the screeching of the locomotive whistle, some
of the words of Mir Greeley were indistinctly
heard.
At Harrisburg Mr.. Greeley said:
II stand before my friends the candidate of
universal amnesty. L fought the battle of i'm
partial suffrage until victory is won, and now L
demand the pledge of the National government
that every man now disfranchised be relieved
by perfect amnesty. We had clear promise
OF that amnesty in the platform of the Repub-
iican party of 1868. That promise has not yet
been performed. 1 stand here to demand that
it shall be- If l could assure the success of
amnesty better by ceasing to be candidate, 1
would gladly do SO. desire only that our dis
franchised, prescribed fellow citizens may be
welcomed back under the folds of the national
nag, which in an unwise hour they deserted
That they shall be welcomed back not as PEN
itents, but as fellow citizens who have seen the
error of their ways and have renewed their al
lance in faith to the country On that plat
form and with that purpose 1 stand before you
fellow citizens Be cheered by the truth that
victory belongs to us. National hatred, bitter
thoughts of rebellion, and all these things must
necessarily die away, and dying makes echoes
feebler and feebler. The day is not far distant
when we shall rejoice in a restored nationality
so perfect that there shall be no man under the
flag of the American nation who is not perfect
ly protected beneath its folds. In that phase,
in that spirit, bid you, friends and fellow citi-
zens kindly, affectionately adieu.
