Al AND COMMERCIAL
Review OF Portland Markets.

WEEK ENDING Feb. 90, 1878.
Wholesale business has been at a standstill during
the past week in consequence of the blocking snow
Storm which has materially prevented transportation
on all the railroads. The changes in values of
chandise from the preceding week are very slight.
and none of any marked character. The money
market is very stringent and gold maintains its high
rate The rates of the past few days range from 1lf
to 1143 but Wednesday, 26th, it advanced to 1l5
The dry goods market is very firm both for cotton and
WOODEN malufactures-the latter of which have been
selling at profit to the nufacturers, in conse-
quence of the high price of the material. There
is also strong tone for cotton goods. The fish mar
ket quiet with light stocks and few transactions,
but firm prices. Flour is firm for all family grades
Grain is very firm. Hay is unchanged. Iron con-
tinues firm with an upward tendency Nails are sell
ing at s. so p cask for 10d to 60d Leather is quiet
Lumber is steady with fair demand. Molasses is
quiet Naval stores dull, and so are oils. Prod
uce is not very lively; eggs are lower and selling at
2S930c in packages; potatoes arc Inactive Dairy
products are without change-there is scarcity OF
choice table butter In provisions there is no change
anil but little doing Salt is steady. We note the ar
rival of cargo Of Cadiz to one Of dealers Su-
gars quiet and unchanged. Teas are very steady
Tins are firmer for plates. Wool is dull and the
market lie rainier depressed, prices iaVolhs p'Icas

FREIGHTS.-Cuba freights remain unchanged.

Chief Engineer Cummings.

Mr.. EDITORIALS the time draws near for
the reelection Of city officers, no small interest
is felt by the fire department in reference to Sc
curing, if possible, the continued services of our
honored chief. We believe that we express the
almost unanimous desire of his associates when
we commend his name to the suffrages of his
fellow citizens for the post which he has SO
ably filled during the past year. His previous
experience as assistant, and his unexceptionable
fidelity to the arduous responsibilities OF chief;
the strong attachment which has grown up for
him among the men; his impartial straightfor-
wardness and the familiarity he has now gain
ed with the work of this important depart
ment-which one cannot at once acquire these
facts, we think, will lead the citizens of Port
land to make sure not to lose the advantages
which his reappointment would gain. A man
of daring, yet of cool judgment, never sending
subordinate where he shrinks from going him
self; of marked suavity, popular among his as
sociates and yet firm in discipline, he has en-
forced promptness among them, the fruits of
which are seen in the happy exemption from
destructive fires which our city has enjoyed the
past year, and in the harmonious operation of
the force under his command. Not merely per-
sonal, still less political consideration should
weigh in the selection of SO important an officer
but rather ability and experience We believe
that Mr. c. will consent to serve if the prefer
ence be expressed, which we feel sure, only
waits for expression on the part of the citizens
at large. BROTHER FIREMEN.

ARREST AND EsCAPE.-Last evening Deputy
Marshal Williams arrested Addie Young, girl
18 years old, for the larceny of a black alpaca
dress and other articles of wearing apparel from
No. 1873 Congress street, the residence of Ma
thanel Deering. The larceny took place last
Sunday. Yesterday Mrs Deering had occasion
to go to the closet where the clothes were COM
monty hung and found they were gone. Mr..
Williams also arrested Annie Seavey, woman
% years old, who stole 1925 from her employers
in Boston last Thursday, and then left for Rock
land, where she passed the time with some
minstrel troupe Monday she came to this city,
and last night Officer Murdough of Boston,
came in quest of her.
The girls were placed in the station. Shortly
after an officer went into their room and found
they had escaped. 1t seems that they Invested
themselves of their bustles and other superflu-
Gus articles of apparel, and then, by a series of
eontortions surprising those of the celebrated
india rubber gymnast, contrived to crawl thro'
space between their window bars only Il in

aged to crawl through the hole. The Portland
girl was subsequently arrested.

and that they are possessed of wonderfully

under the auspices of the American Missionary
Association, and their object is to raise money
to establish and endow university in the
South for the higher education of their race.
The receipts from their four concerts delivered
in Philadelphia q few weeks since, was $500
over and above their expenses. They are en-
deavoring to raise $4,000.
