The SfarRonte Cases.

WASHINGTON. January 20.-The principal
cause Of delay in the Star Route cases, thus
far, has arisen from the defense insisting
upon the identification OF every bid and
contract introduced as evidence. The
prosecution, by clever measure, had all
those paSerS examined and identified pri-
yately by Notary Webster, who originally
witnessed them, and this morning created
rather n sensation in court by calling Web
ster and BlaCkmar to the stand and proving
tie papers in bulk. Strong objection was
m ade by the defense To this action, but
they were overruled by the court. The eX-
animation, in consequence, promises to be
much shortened. The defense denounced

active than last week, but moderately good
for the season. But few changes are to be
noted in values, and prices are generally
firm. In dry goods there are good many
buyers, but the trade is not heavy. All
grains, in unison with wheat, are very firm,
and the decline of the early part of the
week more than equalized by the late ad-
vances. Lard and pork quiet but strong,
with some advance. Considerable trade in
cotton and the market closes firm. In wool
the prospects are encouraging, tn ough man
ufacturcrs are not purchasing largely. Pc
troleum dull. Freights dull. Boots and
shoe trade light, although better than the
past two weeks. Leather quiet, prices for
best grades firm. In iron, prices are firm,
though business has not been large IN the
shape of new orders. Tea trade dull and in
favor Of buyers. Raw sugars nominal. No
activity i'll coffee, and much doubt rs to
the future of the trade. Hardware shows
an advance in several lines, and the trade is
most satisfactory.
