Cincinnati Leaf Tobacco Market.


The market for leaf tobacco has during the en-
tire past week been unusually buoyant On all
illery goods OF any color, and on common lugS,
an advance OF from SOC TO 81 per 100 lbs was eStab
lished, while all grades suitable for cutting pur-
poses were in more active demand, causing prices
generally to keep nearer outside quotations than at
any previous time this season. Early in the week
fne rains were had in many of the growing dis
triets, giving very good planting season. which
has been fully taken advantage of, and in these To-
calites the crop is pretty well set In the Brown
County, Ohio. and the Mason County, Kentucky,
districts there has been but little rain, and no
planting OF consequence Cigar leaf keeps steady,

used Hop Bitters in time, and kept my fam
lily we'll and saved large doctor bills Three
dollars worth of it kept us all well and able
to work all the time, and l will warrant it
has cost you and most of the neighbors one
to two hundred dollars apiece to keep sick
the same time. l guess you'll take my
medicine hereafter" See other column.

arrangements made for his removal to the
hospital. The man says that his name Is
James McCarty, that he is married and his
wife lives at No. o Wood street. His bus
incss Is that OF rOustabout on steamboats,,
and he has followed the river for years.
He was last employed on the steamboat
Coal Valley, he having left Cincinnati
aboard of her last week. The boat is now
stuck on sand bar ut Racine, about half
way between here and Cincinnati. He
| left the boat there and worked his way to
Wheeling. lie left the latter place yes
tcr1ay afternoon on the Pittsburgh,
Wheeling & Kentucky Hnilroad, feeling
very III at the time. lie says that he has
not been below Cincinnati for months, and
while he admitted he was sick insisted
that he did not have the yellow fever. DR..
Snivcly, however, agreed with DIR. Hall0ck
that II was case OF yellow fever, and that
he would have TO BE- placed in the
Municipal Hospital. An ambulance was
procured and McCarty moved there about
D o'clock, but not without .1ome difficulty,
us he begged most strcnuously TO be al-
lowed to 20 home instead OF TO the hospi-
tai. As Il compromise, he was driven down
to sec his wife before he was finally placed
in the hospital. lie is u rather large sized
man, and bears evidence Of having been
rugged and hearty, although he says he
has been i'll for two or three days. lie
may possibly not have the yellow fever,
but all his his symptoms lead TO the belief
that he has.
ARRAvE OPERATOR.
The need Of operators in the infected
districts OF the South has been frequently
mentioned We are glad for the credit OF
Pittsburgh to say that one brave man was
to be found here, who for the benefit Of
humanity is not afraid to risk his own life.
Mr.. II. NJ. Convey, zone OF the best opera
tors in the country" rs night Manager
McElroy says, will leave the city this morll-
ing to relieve one Of the operators in the
Memphis Office. Besides being u good OPP
orator Mr.. Convey is q good fellow gener-
ally, ankhis many friends earnestly hope
that he will pass unscathed through the
ordeal he has taken upon himself.
The Porter, it is stated, is still lying one
mile below Galiipolis, unoccupied by any
one except the brave Armstrong, who is
the only one left to tell the tale OF the raw
ages OF the dreadful yellow fever, which
has swept the boat OF its unfortunate crew.
As the Andes passed the boat at 10 o'clock
morning light was noticed on
the front barge and one on the boat. 1t is
safc to say that the affected boat will not
reach this port until all danger Of spread
ing the disease from her shall have passed.
The colored man named-6eergc Jones,
residing on Franklin alley, also one Of the
Poter's men, reported as suffering from the
yellow fever, is stated by the Health Ply.
sician to be in no danger, He had chill
yesterday, but no symptoms Of the fever
were noticed.
An uniounded rumor gained some cir.
culation last night that a boat had arrived
in the evening having cases Of yellow
fever aboard. Investigation developed
the fact that it was entirely mistake, MS |
no boat had reached the city since the
Abner O'Neal left.

CINCINNATI, o., August 2S.-At the close
Of the session OF the Chambero OF Commerce
this noon, Secretary OF the Treasury John
Sherman was introduced to the merchants
by President Hartwell. He was greeted
with cheers, and responded substantially
as follows:
GESTLgMES:-It gives me great pleasure
to meet so many business men OF Cincin-
natl even for brief period. Ihave great
deal TO do with merchants, and take this
the bounty OF Divine Providence you
will have to market the largest crop ever
gathered in this country since the world
was born. The only point OF an unpleas-
ant nature affecting the industrial interests
is the misfortune which has fallen over n
portion oithe South, where yellow feverhas
spread pail OF distress among our South
ern brethren. lean congratulate you also
that our currencyis soon to be based upon
the solid money Of the world. Applause.l
do not wish TO talk politics 10 you and do
not intend to do so, but suppose 1t is u
common desire OF all men engaged in bus
iness to have a stable certain standard OF
value, and although you and ] may differ
as to the best means OF obtaining it, and rs
to whether the means that have been
adopted have been proper means, yet
believe II is desire OF the merchants OF
Cincinnati that their money shall be as
good MS the money OF any country with
which we trade, and that l think will
soon be accomplished. | take a hopeful
view Of our business affairs. AZ
ter this week there will be an
end OF bankruptcies. All men who
believe they are not in q condition TO pay
their debts will have taken the benefit OF
the law provided for their relief. After
Saturday next We will stand upon better
basis-upon the basis of our property and
our deserved credit. II has been the habit
OF one OF your able and influential jour
nails to charge me with oil the bankruptcies
Of the country. II grocer could not sell
goods enough to pay expenses or the
saloon keeper could not sell beer enoughto
get rich he took the short way OF paying
his debts, and this paper would an
nounce the fact that he had been
"Shermanized." We have passed through
a severe crisis. 1t has been common in all
countries. A ray Of hope has dawned
upon us. The very sign OF business is
hopeful. We do not expect anything OF
consequence. We have gone through the
debt paying process. A few years ago we
were running in debt at the rate Of 100
million dollars n year, but lately we have
been paying off our debt at the rate OF 100
millions n year. From this time We will
be more prosperous. You who live in the
heart of the great West take heart in trans
acting your business, because believe
you have reached solid basis upon which
to conduct your business proftably, the
basis OF solid coin. .fa.
On descending from tho stand the Sec
retary was greeted with general hand
shaking and complimentary remarks.
