New York Wool Market.

Hopes of a positive and permanent
change for the better are entertained on
this market, in common with similar
feelings on nearly all other leading ar
ticles of merchandise, the base of ex-
pectation being found in the bountiful
harvests throughout the country. The
so far as an increase of movements is
concerned, and this must naturally
bring with 1t steadier tone, if not an
increase of values. The necessities for
handling raw material, however, will
possibly develop slowly in view of
pretty full accunulatiOns under control
of consumers, the result of the free
purchases made early in the season.;
and those manufacturers who would,
under good stimulus, be the most ex-
tensive buyers are said to be the best

least. Upon the breaking of the line
of assortment on the larger collections

DURBIN WABD is not one of the in
hation fanatics. He made a speech.
on Thursday, at Marietta which has dis
turbed the Pepdleton- Ewing set. The
Cincinnati Enquirer slaps him in the
face, by saying his speech ''is directed
more to the desire of General Durbin
Ward than to the success OF the Demo-
cratic party in this campaign" and "is
as full heresy as of wisdom" And
again:
He is not anywhere addressing him
self to the issues and the needs of ths

FOREIGN SUMMARY.

All the reports from the scene of the
last struggle between the Turks and
the Russians agree that IT has been dis
astrous to the latter. The Russian po-
sitiun has been completely turned and
Popkoi abandoned. The Turks were
continuing the pursuit. Baker Pasha,
under whom the Turkish cavalry
charge was made, had two horses kill
ed under him, and is missing, with
Capt. Brisco, his aid. This Baker
Pssha, previous to his taking promi-
nent position in the Turkish service,
was a Colonel in the British army,
who, under the name of Col. Valentine
Baker, was an associate and intimate
friend of the Prince of Wales. He be-
came notorious on account of an Outra-
geous assault committed by him while
travelling in the same compartment of
q British railway car with a respectable
lady. Col. Baker, for this offence, was
sentenced to twelve months impris-
Ionment, and he was dismissed from his
position in the army. Before this grave
fault he bore high reputation for gal:
lantry and ability. On the expiration
of his sentence he accepted position
in the Turkish army. He was broth
er of Sir Samuel Baker. London dis
patches furnish a resume of the Bulga.
garian campaign for the past week,
which shows that the Turks have the
garrison at Schipka Pass completely
hemmed in; that the Russian post at
Tirnova is open to attack from the east
by road from BebrOva, but the Me-
hemet Ali, even if he finally cleared
Shipka, would have to clear the Rus
slams from Papashvi, as if there they
could threaten his flank. All was qui-
ct on the Plevna front except for tri-
fling reconnoisSanceS. If the Prince of
Romania is to command the $4,000
Romanians that crossed the Cora bia,
and this force is to be combined with
the Russian troops, he would threaten
| Plevna from the rear and make il seri-
GUS for Osman Pasha. The whole ef-
feet of the battle of Karasan, as the
Russian defeat of Thussday has been
styled, has not yet been ascertained,
but there can be no doubt that it has
crippled the knssian forces in that
quarter. On Friday the Turks made
reconnaissance and encountered thir-
tty thousand Russians posted five miles
east of Plevna. The Turkish official
report claims that after two hours des-
perate fighting the enemy fled, anu
that three redoubts were carried by
assault, and one gun, many horses and
arms captured. The Russian report
of the same action says the Turkish
force was twenty-five thousand, and
after eight hours fighting were repul
sed along the whole line. The Russian
loss was six hundred.
The CORRESPONDENT of the London
News. who was witness of the battle
of Thursday last. says the Russians
were Overpowered by Il force of six tC
one. They were forced to retreat from
the village of Karasan, but still main
tain their position on the heights, and
the success of the Turks is of minor
Importance unless they succeed in
caIturing the heights.

think of il now, they will approve of it
after q while, and, therefore, they
should stand by their party.
The great question before the people
of Ohio is whether the Republican
party shall be maintained in power or
whether the Democratic party shall
take its place, not in Ohio merely, but
in the nation. In order to correct de-
cision, therefore, Republicans should
brush up their memory and call to
mind what these parties have done.
The Republican party was called into
existence for the purpose OF saving the
country. In this it succeeded. 1t put
down the Democratic rebellion, and re-
stored every State to its place in the
Union and self-government to those
States which rebelled. The credit OF
the nation, too, has not only been
maintained, but vastly improved, until
we are now able to borrow money at
per cent. in the markets OF Europe,
| The greenback dollar, which such
Democrats as Mr.. Pendleton pronOunc.
ed worthless, is worth So in gold and
will soon be worth par. Civil service
reform has been introduced and is be
ing enforced, and now honesty and
lecOnomy are the rule aud dishonesty
and extravaganza the exception. Thi'
is the record of the Republican party
What is the record of the Democratic
party? This is the question that every
man who ever voted Republican
ticket should ask himself. 1t is th'
Republican party reformed and i'm
proved, and the old Democratic party
that brought war and its consequence:
upon the country, that are now before
the people of Ohio.
There is a great deal, therefore, il
this contest. The result will have al
: important bearing upon the future
. and unless Republicans are disposed Il
put the Democratic party in power
there should be no falling off in tn,
Republican vote in October.
