FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Review of the Portland Markets.

FOR THE WEEK ENDING APRIL "a.
There is not a great volume of business to report
owing to the unsettled state of affairs The spring
trade so far has been very light but there now
some signs OF an improvement. Many of the staple
articles have been declining thus making the demand
smaller than ever. The stock of breadstuffs is now
small and there few jobbers who care to increase
their stock until the market is more settled The
money market is still quiet and gold is quoted low
last week. 1t closed Wednesday, April 24th, at
$l.OOa.
Dried apples are coming in quite plenty and they
are offered at 599c for Western and GOT for Eastern.
Beans are now quite especially for yelow-eyes

bank at $2.00@2 3d. Mackere1 are coming in
plenty and bay No. 2's are down to $S5O@9.5O There
are no No. 3's in the market; No. shore are also
lower and are quoted at $4,000 so. Raisins are in
good demand and prices are higher. Flour is dull
at the quotations of last week. Lemons are quiet
and are quoted little lower while oranges are high
er Corn is in fair demand at the prices quoted last
week. Hay is offering in fair quantity at S1i@1S.
Iron is unchanged. Lard is dull but the prices of last

SECRETARY THOMPSON'S
VIEWS.
Contributions from Office Holders-The
Presidents Views Fairly Represented
by the Campbell Interview.

Contributions from Office Holders-The
Presidents Views Fairly Represented
by the Campbell Interview.
INDIANAPOLIS, April "a The News pub
fishes report of an interview with Secretary
Thompson, now in this city, relative to a
Washington despatch published yesterday in
the st. Louis Globe-Dsmocrst, in which it is
stated that in conversation between Gen.
Campbell OF Pennsylvania, and the President
the latter said there could be no reasonable OBJ
lection to officers in the civil service contribut-
ing a reasonable share of their income to cam
paign purposes, and that he would be pleased
to have them do it. and that the President
himself expected to contribute proportion.
Secretary Thompson declined to say anything
that would appear like statement of the
Presidents views but he said he thought the
despatch above alluded to gave a fair interpre-
tation of the ofceholders order. If he Oh Dose to
contribute his money he can, and if he hooses
not he can refraio, and the President would
sustain any man in such refusal. VIVA tever is
done clandestnely cannot be controlled, n or is
the President supposed to be able to follow all
the ramifcatOns of q rule to the lowest clerk
in any part OF the country, but if any case of
attempted c0mpulsOn in the matter o contr-
button were brought to the Presidents notice,
he would sustain that otfice-holder wit all his
power,
When questioned as to the attempt of the
Democrats to raise the question of the Fresi-
dents title, Secretary Thompson said, 81 think
there IS no question there to raise. L think the
Democrats want to get some official expression
on record so as to use it for campaign ur-
poses."

PURE BONE GOODS.

WE desire to call the particular attention OF farm
w ers to our Bone Goods all of which are
strictly pure. and for which, after thorough ex-
animation by the committee at the New Fog land
and Main Safe Fair, held at Portland, Sep
TENDER Sd to 7th. 1877 were awarded the highest
premium over all old competitors for that class of
goods.
1st-Our ground bone, for fertilizer, being
pure, contains a large percentage Of phosphorIc
acid, nitrogen, amOnia and magnesia
which makes it the safest fertilizer for all kinds of
crops. 1t is also very nice when composted with wood
ashes in equal parts.
2nd-Our bone meal has no equal In America.
1t is ground from pure hard bones. and is very
white and sweet, it has no offensive Odor or taste.
In fact it is as sweet corn meal, and cattle eat
it freely and with good results.
We likewise make an extra article OF poultry
bone OF uniform size, no long svers to choke the
hens 1t helps to form the shell of the eggs, and
is what the poultry need at all times. supply of
II should be kept IN box constantly before them.
we would further say that it IS object to
a good reputation for our bone goods and we be-
leve the only way is to make them strictly pure,
anQ those who favor us with their patronage may
rely upon it, that all the goods purchased of viii
be strictly pure.
We also have constantly on hand, ground beef
ps which p.uItry should always have in box
the same as poultry bone. 1t is also excellent ID
feed to swine
