of Saturday says that the merchandise market
continues to show the elements of improve
ment and from the influence of an easy money
market, dull temper to gold, fabbiness to
stocks, and absence of confidence in the usual
autumn railroad and bond manufacturing
schemes very many new faces have been about
the haunts of legitimate trade, anxiously in
vestigating the sources AMI terminals of goods
lying in warehouses and booked fer arrival.

THE grangers, according to the statement
of the Secretary of the National Grange, are
still rapidly increasing, 500 new lodges being
instituted in July, chiefly in the Southern
States. There are now 10000 lodges with an
aggregate membership of 100000. In the
South only white persons are admitted to
membership, which causes NO littl e distrust

On the whole, the Postoffice Department
seems to have the best of the controversy
with the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Balti-
more Railway Company about the price of
running the postal cars. The postal author
tiles claim that they have no option in the
matter, the rate of payment being fixed by
law. On the other hand the company as
snmes that the Department will accede to its
terms. 1t seems as if a commission of ex-
perience might easily determine fair rate of
compensation which should be paid, and
when rendered there should be some means
to make the railroad companies see that it is
for their own interest to thus far oblge the
great public. When the new Postmaster
General, who is business man of experience
and executive ability takes his seat, we may
expect to have these questions settled.

the Republicans held the caucuses at the
same hour Of the same day in four counties.
This is an excellent idea and should be adopt
ed generally. 1t is well known fact that
active politicians usually pitch upon certain
towns which they are sure of carrying and
in these hold the caucuses early that they
may avail themselves Of the prestige that a
favorable result will give them in pressing
their contest in localities less decided. Let
us hope that state, county and congressional
committees will consider the subject and con-
clude to try the experiment. Aside from the
fact that fair play will result from the holding
OF caucuses simultaneously, the idea that all
the towns interested in the selection of any
given candidate are selecting their delegates
the same day, will be tendency to bring cut
fuller attendance of the voters.
