WILKEsBARRE, Pa, July 29.-This morning
at Jermyn in this county, Alfred Green, Sn.
perintendent of coal mine, started between 4
and 5 O'clock to'inspect the mine and see if it
was free from gas, and that everything was all
right, as was his regular custom before the
miners entered for their days work. He was
acosted on the way by three strangers, who
asked for work. He replied he had q full force
and did not need their services. They drew re-
volvers and fired nine shots at him, two of
which took effect in his left shoulder and side.
His cries and the reports of pistols attracted
the attention of Robert Pierce and Edward
McCrocken, who came to his assistance. The
ruffians turned upon them, but Pierce defended
them with his revolver and shot one of the
strangers through the head killing him instant
ly. The others ran, but one was wounded b.
fore he got out of range. Green's wounds are
dangerous, but not necessarily fatal. 1t is ru-
mored this evening the man who was wounded
had been captured. and the eXasperated min
ers and citizens of Jermyn lynched him.

The arrivals of domestic Wool are still quite free
and prices have not varied materially since last
There is no particular poessure to buy sell. The
wants OF most manufacturers supplied for the
present. and we are likely to have quiet but steady
market for some weeks to come
In New York there has been fair amount of aciv-
ity during the past few days. and, with perhaps the
exception of California, prices have remained fairly
steady for ell descriptions. Manufacturers continue
to buy quite freely, both of clothing and carpet
teria but the stock of the latter has reached such
small proportions that scarcity is soon looked for,
unless the imports from the public sales ther side
increase.
In Philadelphia the receipts of fleece from the
West continue large, and the stock continues to ac-
emulate. There has been more inquiry particular
ly for medium heec, and round lots have chang
ed hands on terms not made public. Pulled and tub
bed are dull. The market exhibits frmer tone
than for many months past, and wooden goods are
selling more freely and at rather better prices.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL


WEEK ENDING July 90, 1874.
steady improvement is noticeable in the tone Of
the markets this week. The prospect now is for
good opening of the fall trade. The changes which
we have to note this week are all upward and show
good feeling among business men. Gold has not been
very active the past week, ranging from 1O9a@i10,
and closing Wednesday at 109s
Green apples have begun to arrive, and are selling
very slow for what can be got for them. Beans re-
main very firm at last weeks quotations. Bread is
little easier, and the fall trade is opening well,
pecially for shipment. Butter commands good
price, and nice lots bring 4Oc per lib. Cheese is rath-
er plenty than last week, and the prices are off
little. Coal is locking up little, parties have
begun to lay in their winters stock, Copper and
cordage show change in prices but the demand is
very active. Drugs and dyes exhibit no change the
market being rather quiet just now. Fish are CON-
ing in remarkably we'll of late and the catch here
has been large, but owing to the small catch else
where the prices have advanced. Large shore cod
are quoted at 81 25@i75 Mackerel have advanced
in about the same proportion. The best grades of
flour have fallen off about Csc per barrel; this is ow-
ing to the falling off in the demand. Fruit shows
some change. Raisins have advanced about 25c per
box. Oranges are higher and are quoted at 50 OO0
50 per box. Hay quite and the prices are
higher, loose hay selling for S20 Iron is unchanged.
Oats have advanced little and are very in
the market. Lard is considerable higher and shows
an upward tendency; it is quoted at from 1i115lc
per fb. Leather shows but little change, although
the better grades indicate rise soon. Lumber has
begun to show some signs of activity as there will be
good deal of building here this fall. Molasses has
advanced little in prices. Oil is unchanged except
lard which had advanced about &c. Pork is very ac-
tive and higher. The tendency is for still further
advance as the fall demand will be large. Salt is in
good demand but there change in prices to note
this week. Sugars are depressed a little; graduated
has fallen lc. Syrups are about sc lower. Wool is
quiet and there is but little doing the 'clip has
| nearly all been disposed Of Lambskins are COM
manding good prices and arequoted at from 7596Oc.
Observation-Disclosures are very dull this week
both foreign and coastwise. We have to report this
| week Brig Geo. S. Berry to Bonaire and back with
| salt at 14c per bushel.

States FOR MECHANICS HALL.-The fine st
lot of roofing states ever brought to Portland
can be seen at the rear of their building on
Casco Street. The edges of these states are
sawed and their thickness uniform. These
states were furnished by Cummings, Leavitt 81
Widber, from the Bangor and Piscataquis guar
ry, the longest worked of any in Maine. Be
ing taken from depth of over 100 feet, the
States from this quarry are much superior to
surface workings both in strength and tough
ness These states command the highest price
in Boston and other markets on account of their
superior quality. ly29 1t
