Hazelton did not shake the bloody
shirt at the City Hall on Tuesday ev-
ening, but he would have done it all
the same, ii ne thought he could have
made any votes for himself by it. His
treatment of Democrats was in strik-
ing contrast with his treatment of
them two years ago. Then they were
traitors and rebels, now they are
brethren and he wants them to vote
for him 80 as to beat the accursed
Grcenbackers." Hazelton would have
hung Democrats during the war could
he have had his own way about it.

Market Reports.

Our produce markets have been
steady during the past week, although
limited amount of business was
consummated, owing principally to
the fact that a minority Or farmers
are husking corn and the favorable
weather for threshing small grain.
Eastern adyices note large receipts
in all branches, and a rather sluggish
and unsatisfactory reception for near
~ all grades Of produce.

Not long ago the New York World
offered to print in its columns, free OF
charge, advertisements Of employers
desiring skilled or unskillcd labor
and last Monday it opened at Nos.
l2i4 and 1915 Broadway an employ
ment office and bureau of information
where good servants can obtain posi-
tions and where employers can OBJ
tain good servants without cost to
either. A person in need Of an assis-
tant will need only to send his name
to the Office and IN applicant will be
sent to him or an opportunity for
consultation at the bureau will be
arranged. 1t is stipulated that the
servants whose names are entered on
the register are worthy and bear good
characters.
In this noble enterprise the World
does not seek to make money, and it
hardly look = like the attempt Of bloat-
ed capitalists to Cypress the down
trodtler laborers Of tine metropolis. 1t
is n design which ought to be heartily
appreciated by all-its fnllilment will
be IL grand achievement in the cause
humanity. 1t is such acts as this
which give the lie to stale misrepre-
sensations, garbled from the Worlds
brilliant columns, by which some
National organs seek to prejudice
the honest yeomanry of tho land
against the great Democratic party
and the able journals that support it.

WHEAT-During the past week an
unsettled feeling has prevailed Eastern
markets, and prices have been subject
to frequent and, at times, quite severe
fluctuations. Speculation has COM
prlsed the bulk of trading and the
aggregate business transacted quite
large.
The supply of wheat in this vicinity
is so limited and Spring wheat of such
an inferior quality that our merchants
cannot begin to realize the price paid
for it on our streets. Spring is selling
from ACC to 60c; Winter about CSC to

selling from 20c to 25c; old from Csc

quite tame, although the feeling East
and South is a trile tirmer, owing to

BARLEY.-Is entirely inactive and
sellers have to hunt for purchasers
prices ranging from 90 to IS cts; gov

FLAX SEED This branch has
been moderately active since this
day week, steady, and at times the
feeling was rather easy. During the
early part of the week prime sold rs
high as STOP, but subsequently fell
back to $500. Eastern buyers seem
to have large supplies and the feeling
generally inclined to be weak.
HOGS-ITave been tritle frmer
during the week past, although there
was mo change in prices worthy of
special mention. Prices range from
$3.50 to 1915 for good shipping grades;
extra fine lots shade higher.
CATTLE - There has been no
