WHARF.-The indications are favorable for greater
activity aud better prices. Purchasers are in the
market for round lots and full rates more easily
obtained than a week ago. In the present attitude
of the farming interest there is little hope of beat
ing down values while the prospect of an increased
and urgent demand on shipping account encourages
holders with the belief that advance on current
quotations is not far distant Sales during the week
have been tolerably fair but to-days transac ions
on Change were the largest since Monday. Nego-
tiations are conducted without any particular exh-
bition of spirit or excitement and the flrmncss Of
the market is solely the result Of legitimate causes

ever, are such as to admit of her trotting in
2:10, they will probably permit of her being
driven in 2:0S, provided her driver thinks it
prudent. He tells me that she is undoubtedly
faster than she was last year. As said, all
the conditions are necessary. One little
thing may upset it all. l have never seen
her trot, and am anxious to witness test of
her speed"
"Will she, asked the reporter, "be kept
on the turf TO maturity ?"
"That,n said Vanderbilt, " will depend on
whether her record is beaten or not. l can
not say positively. After this performance
she will take rest, and in September I will
drive her on the road at home"
"To what, was asked, ''do you attribute
her marvellous turn of speed: 2"
Her great success is due not little to
her treatment when young. She showed the
extraordinary time of 2:175 as a four-year-
old. Many horses which showed first class
capacity for speed when young have been
ruined by overwork after their four-year
trials. Maud S. was laid by for two years
and was not overworked. Her driver as
sures me that she has never been driven to
her utmost capacity"

for Liverpool, yesterday carried out large
Australian mail, which arrived at the New
York Post-ofics at late hour the previous

shows that New York is the natural and
most serviceable postal connecting link be-
tween Europe and the antipodes.

thank you very sincerely for this compli.

this afternoon l meet you with somewhat
saddened feelings. have only time to say
that my prayer to God is, that the dastardly
effort to add the name of President Garfield
to the roll of martyrs may prove abortive.
and that he may be restored to health and
the duties of his high Office" The Senator
then reentered the car and resumed his jour
