FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Review of the Portland Markets
FOR THE WEEK ENDING JITIy 10


The markets are dull this week, generally speak
ing with but little change to note. The dry goods
market is lower some qualities of goods but prices
in this department have about reached the bottom.
There is not large demand for goods of any kind at
this season of the year. Money shows but little
change and gold closed Wednesday, July II, at III.
Beans are in good demand and yellow eyes have
advanced slightly The supply of butter is not very
large, while the demand is improving, thus causing
an advance in the quoted prices. The best family
lots sell readily for 25 SOC, while store lots sell for
20 q 25c. Cheese dull and prices have fallen off
several cents per pound as will be by the quota
tions. Copper and cordage show no change. There
several important changes this week in drugs and
dyes. Opium has advanced near dollar, morphine
is also higher. The large catch of shore mackerel
has reduced the prices very materially. Other fish
come in slow. Oranges and lemons are higher. Corn
is slightly lower than last week. Hay continues I'M
changed. Pork and lard are rather firmer with
prices unchanged. Leather is rather quicker. Mo-
lasses is dull Kerosene oil is quoted at 2ic and re-
fined at 16c. Eggs aee higher and are quoted at IS
"a zoe. Onions now arrive in barrels and are quoted
at $1.75 q $50 per Dbl. Bermudas are out of the
market. Sugars are decidedly higher as will be seen
by the quotations.

The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1876-11-25

Observation-Disclosures in Vermont, it
is needless to say, was found equal to the
emergency that required the counting in of a
postmaster as a Hayes elector, though lneli-
gible by the constitution of the United States
The returning board held, what is doubtless
as true of the board in Vermont as 1t is of
the same Kind of board IN Louisiana, South
Carolina and Florida, that they were but
ministerial officers, and all they could do
was to count the votes and certify to the Gov
ernor the number of votes received by each
candidate. The question whether Illegal
votes were cast or whether one or more of
the candidates voted for were ineligible, was
one for the governor, the legislature, or the
courts TO decide. SO Mr.. Sollace, the illegal
ly elected postmaster, was certified to the
Governor along with the rest as duly elected,
and the Governor gave him the certificate.
The democrats saw it was useless to carry
the case to the courts, for even if Solace had
there been declared ineligible, the court
would also have declared his place merely
vacant to be filled by the other electors.

and with them the editors Of the StghdL to
take prompt ground In favor of secession
and especially against Judge Douglas, who
had at the time just made his great Spring
field war speech. After allowing the matter
to sleep for three months, Mr.. Logan finally
ventures reply to Mr.. Zarley's statement
the substance of which is, that in coarse, un
mannerly, truculent language, he says Mr.
Farley lies. We have known both Mr.. Ear.
ley and John A. Logan pretty intimately for
the last % years, and while we should not
hesitate TO risk our life on Mr. Zarley's word
