The market opened this week at de-
cline of about s@ic, the least conces-
sion being on the common and inferior
grades, but there was no activity. Further
along prices receded another fraction, the
best cattle suffering most. till the market
became quite demoralized, and 4@3c
lower figures became general-indeed
some thought concession of &c was in
some instances accorded. The quality

With lower prices this week the mar
ket has been quite slow. Quotations are
not as high by full ic as they were last
week. The quality has been equally as
good as it was then, and at the close the
Market is less firm, with few sales at the
extreme highest quotations. The ten
dency seems 10 be toward lower rather
than higher figure.

ney. The evidence shows that the quarter
nasten' purchased stores Of all kinds from
these contractors at rates much above The
market price; that some OF the supplies
were OF q quality grossly inferior to stand
ards; that false issues were made and
various other frauds perpetrated. These
operations were carried on from 1881 to
1863, and 1t Is estimated that the Gov.
was defrauded to- an amount
exceeding two million dollars. The inyesti.
CATION was caused, in fact, By the excessive
expenditures fn the quartermasser's depart-
ment of the Army Of the Potomac The result
was the removal of the two quartermasters
(Stoddard aud Ferguson), who, by the way,
are now dead, but from reasons Of policy no
further steps were taken, and the report was
to repose which was disturbed
only by the recent ransacking of the War
Department records by Clymer's committee.
There is reason to believe that Mr.. Clymer
has done bis best TO keep it 8 secret still, and
