FEATHER. -Sss. - s.:
There was q large attendance at the
sand lots In San Francisco On Sunday after
noon March II, including many Of the respect
able classes drawn by curiosity. Kearney took
an entire new departure. dc invited tho lead
ers of the citizens protective union to meet
the leaders of the workingmen on the sand
lots, for exchange Of views, promising them
respectful hearing. He also informed his
hearers that the objects of the citizens union
has been misapprehended; that they intend
the association for. amelioration of the oondi-
'tlon Of the city, for the good Of the laboring
classes and the restoration of prosperity; that
some interruptions men had taken advantage
OF the movement purposely to create the i'm
workingmen were intended, whereas nothing
OF the kind was meant. His audience received
his novel speech endemonstratively. At the
Metropolitan Temple last evening Kalloch
adopted Kearney's cue and spoke to similar
effect. L It ID, evident the citizens union is
making its influence felt. 3,"1

have the honor to report that the depredations
committed by war parties from the hostile
Sioux camps that have recently come over the
Canadian line on the pretense of Hunting have
been very annoying to the citizens of the
vicinity. Quite large amount of stock has
been stolen and Two citizens are now in the
hospital wounded by hostiles. Troops have
been out daily during the intense cold to check
the evil. On the 9Th inst fourteen head of
ponies were stolen from Cheyenne Indian
scouts. The Indians followed by Lieut.. Miller
and a detachment of the Fifth infantry and
five Cheyenne scouts, pursued. The Sioux
were surprised in their camp twenty miles
south OF the Yellowstone, and fifteen miles
west OF the Rosebud, where sharp fight en-
sued, resulting in the killing of three Sioux
capturing eight head of stock and what camp
equipagc the Indians had, including several
guns and large quantity Of ammunition.
Lieut. Miller lost two Cheyenne scouts killed
The Indians that escaped crossed the Yellow
stone last night, and are being closely pur.
sued by Capt. Baldwin and Hamilton. This

ENGLISH MARKETS.
The Mark Lane Erpress in its review
of the British grain trade the past week says
The weather has been seasona5le and con.
siderable area of spring grain has been sown
An early and favorable seed time seems likely
| to be secured. Autumn sown wheat presents
generally satisfactory appearance. as also
do the pastures. Offerings of'home grown
wheat at country markets were generally
scanty, farmers having been occupied with
field work. The demand for fine wheat for
sowing has recently been pretty active in the
provinces but in London the reserve shown
by millers restricted sales and last weeks OPEN
ing prices were barely maintained. Arrivals
of English wheat in Mark Lane have been
moderate and the condition is not much i'm
proved. Imports of foreign. however, were
fairly liberal. Opinions relative to the course
Of prices in the immediate future are pretty
equally divided. the chief interest centering
upon the American Business has been small,
though wheat was only quoted at six pence
cheaper last Monday. A greater reduction
has since been necessary to effect sales of any
large quantity. The depression was caused
by abstention of millers rather than hy the
pressure Of foreign supplies. Maize in conse
quence Of the scarcity, fairly maintained the
advance, but the future course of prices lie
ponds upon the magnitude of American ship
ments. Arrivals at ports of call have been
small. Buyers are holding of in expectation
of better selection from the fleet now due
but owing to the extreme frmness of holders,
full prices were paid where sales occurred
The few arrivals of maize were quickly sold
at 2s@28 Sd. Very little business was done
in wheat for arrival, despite tie more accom-
modating disposition of American holders
Australian was pretty freely offered at reason
able prices. Maize was in very limited de.
mand and inactive in price. Sales of English
wheat last week $3.50 quarters at as Id per
quarter, against a., 43l quarters at SOS Sd pcr
quarter the corresponding week last year. I'm.
