THE quotations given in the following reports

Our local wholesale market shows no
material change as to condition or prices
since our last report. The stifening in
the prices of wheat and wool is having
its usual effect, and these commodities
are becoming scarcer in the market.

THE Charlestown Free Press has this
significant item in its issue for this
week:
A large excursion party OF colored Odd
Fellows from the District OF Columbia
came to Charlestown on Monday. one
of the excursionists said politics had
nothing to do with their visit here, but
that it was one purely Of pleasure; that
he was a Democrat, and that gOod
many others were like him, having
found out that the white Republicans
had no use for them except as voters
They were tired ofbeingsimply "hewers
of wood and drawers of water for those
who were so loud in professions OF
friendship and yet so faithless to their
promises.
Among the excursionists we noticed
the venerable Davy Gray, former slave
of the late Col. Braxton Davenport; /;
also LLOYD Brown, caterer 10 the Chinese
Embassy at Washington, and we pre-
sumo he is now accomplished in the art
of serving rats and birds nests in a
manner to tickle the palate even ot an
epicurean Of the fowery kingdom.

BUSINESS FAILURES.
Suspension of Chicago PrOyi-
sion Houses.

CmcAGo, September l9.-The rapid
advance in provisions which has been
going on the past three days has caused
the suspension, to-day, Of Joseph Jones
4 Sons, one Of the oldest firms on
Change, and of Campbell d Johnson.
They were chiefly interested in lard and
short ribs, and as the decreasing stocks
OF these provisions have alarmed
the shorts, there was a
strong pressure to buy during
the CRATER portion OF the day and a con-
sequent sharp advance. The grain mar
kets have also been strong, and, al
though the outside prices were not
maintained to the close, there was no
visible weakness among the holders and
the comparative smallness of the re-
ceipts OF grain has a tendency to still
further enhance values. An active
business is confidently expected during
the fall and winter
