Two YEARLING COLTS of the Satellite stock,
belonging to GEO. L. NETTLEToN, sired by
the celebrated Horse of the POWELL Bros, at
Spring Corners, are in the course of breaking
by Mr.. &. q. WILLIAMS. They are unusual
colts, in style and promise, and being short OF
two years old, have the size and growth Of
ordinary three year olds Though too young
but for the gentlest handling, they seem to
have the power and gait belonging to much
maturer animals. They already drive single
or double, and in tractableness and promise,
they are worthy the parent stock. Mr. Net
tletop feels just degree ofpride i'll these colts,
and we understand, proposes to enter them at
the Penn. State fair this TALL and let them come
into comparison with the descendants Of this
worthily popular POWELL horse.
Another sample of this stock is owned by
Mr. ALBERT HARMON of East VIllage-a horse
colt, coming one year, which has much of the
lofty grace andreaching gait that seems to
follow all that we have seen OF this breed
The same mare that Ibis colt is out of, is now

Tho report helng circulated on Change to-day
that ono Of our grain-varoho haa given
$4,000 towards ondoving the new Chair Of Apol-
ogetics, tho question was raised whether the
donor had not mistaken tho object Of tho insti-
tuition. 1t mas generally conceded to bo open to
doubt; because, If the now Professorship should
be found to coyor tho work OF apologizing for
tho wnrehouBmen, then the amount donated Is
much too little for the service to be rendered.
Tho loading produce mnrkets IVES generally
weaker to-day, though moderately active, and
stcndier ct tho decline than might havo been OK
pected. Tho nows that peaceful solution Of
the Cuban difficulty has probably been effected,
may have had something to do in producing tho
easier feeling; but that effect was tle beyond
what WIS due to tho decline in the gold premium
and tho consequent appreciation in tho valuc Of
the circulating medium known as currency.
The great Indictment to lower prices al round
was feature Of local speculation: Our stocks
Of grain aro low, and there was u
which could not be filled by deliveries III tho or
binary WY, on account Of the scarcity OF grain.
Those WHO were short rushed in to buy OF OBJ
tan settlements, and, IN their oagorness. they ad
yanced pricos on themselves. They obtninad most
demand permitted partial falling back towards
tho basis OF trading Oh Thursday. Provisions
followed the lend Of grain, though without the
same apology III the 1aatter Of small supply:
growing somewhat in volume. The closing Of
tho lako has shut up ono important avenue Of
shipment, but shere iH d good demand by roll,
md tho recent order to the Inspectors to exam
ino tho quality Of tue grain after it is IN the
cars seo,ns to havo alroady giyon Increased con-
| ildonce In regard to quality. Orders were ro-
| coived hero today from different Eastern par
ties for nearly 900 carloads Of grain, in tho ng-
| grcgato. This will probably be this Season q
more important element than ever in our Wintor
trade.
Dry goods mot with agood demand, md prices
wore rather moro firmly held, notably 40 for
I cotton textiles, which aro now relatively much
lower than tho raw mnterial. Certain Of tho
more popular brands Of blcaohod and brown cot
tons have rocontly advanced, and the Indications
arc favorable for pretty general hardening Of

Improvement, aud tho fcoling Of dependency
