THE GARFIELD MONUMENT.
An Appeal to the People Through the
Press.

At the last meeting of the Socsety OF the
Army or the Cumberland, it was proposed tnat
under its auspices there should be erected III
the city of Washington statue or monument
in memory OF our former comrade, the lale
President James Abram Garfield. With that
end in view, committee was appointed Dy
Lieutenant General P. II. Sheridan, president
of the society, which org anized and proceeded
to work, and it is with much pleasure that the
committee announce that its efforts have met
with such liberal response from all parts OF tne
country as to warrant the assurance tnas tne
work will be consummated.
The question now is, and to you we submit
it, shall the statue be such a one as we Can
build with the funds on hand, or will you come
to our aid in such manner as to enaDle US W
erect a work of art in size, design, ana WORK
manship in keeping with the glorious name
with which it will forever be associated, as
well as an ornament to our already magnln-
cent capital city. 1t is proposed that the WoIk
when completed shall be no longer the properly
of the society, but be formally transieIieu
through their Chief Magistrate to the people OF
the United States to be monument OF their
affection for all time.
We therefore present to you the opportunity
to unite with us in the work, and thereby ena-
BILE us to make the structure in every respect
worthy the name OF Am6rlCd loHoniooo pootAS'
To that end, we request that to-day, DAY
when all hearts turn in love and grateiui
remembrance to the soldiers of the RepuDllc,
and we strew their graves with flowers that
feature of that day shall be the offerlng anu
soliciting of contributors to the end SET Iorth.
But few can enjoy the privilege of placing a
flower on his grave on Decoration Day, Dut all
can contribute the cost of one, and thereby Gu
able us to stimulate genius and exhaust arr ~
the endeavor to plant here statue that VIII
testify to men of all time the great love tne
people bore him. b:a
work be general; one in which all the people
can take part without feeling it to be tax;
and it is therefore suggested that no cohtripu-
tion from any one person on that DAY snail ex-
ceed one dollar.
The press and postmasters throughout the
country will receive and forward subscrip-
tions or, if preferable, committee OF citlzens
NAV take chaage of the work under such plans
as they may deem most eficaclous In elsner
case il is required that complete ilst OF SUD-
scribers be kept, as all subscription lists, as well
as copies of papers publishing the same, are de-
sired for deposit in the cornerstone OF the
statue, and will be carefully retained for that
purpose.

DOWN TOWN.
Financial -Fish-Portland Hats.

Mondays money market W as but mere
formality. In Boston money was very easy,
prices low and a very limited demand
Governments were unchanged There was no
brokers' board yesterday.
There is no local market for dry fish at pre-
sent The bad weather of late has prevented
drying to any extent, and the market is quite
bare of all kinds and prices rule high The
arrivals from eastern ports have about ceased,
and dealers are looking for vessels now about
due and are hoping for settled, clear weather
SO that fish can ssmake." Six arrivals of shore
split are reported during the past three days,
with fares amounting to about $4,000 pounds.
Favorable weather will doubtless increase the
receipts. The fresh fish market is of course
quiet for the same reasons that apply above.
1t is estimated that the receipts of the past
three days of market dressed cod and hake
will not exceed 10000 pounds. The price yes
terday was So per hundred pounds; one small
fare being disposed of at $3.50, an advance
from Saturday. Shad were quite plenty yes
terday, the fish having struck in at Bald Head
in considerable numbers About 25O0 were
received yesterday, and sod at 10 cents each
at wholesale. Some twenty-five salmon came
from the same place and were held at 40 cents
pound at wholesale. About 100 pounds of
mackerel were also brought in, which shows
that we may look for the fish our own coast
very soon. It is reported that on Saturday
and Sunday there were large arrivals at Bos-
ton which weakened prices there. The Fanny
Squirting has arrived at New York with
mackerel; quantity unknown. The lobster
trade continues good, both in receipts and de-
mand. Several smacks came in yesterday
with good numbers, from off Spurwink river,
-fhd further receipts are looked for this morn
ing from the eastward. A continuance of
good weather will revive the fish business of
Portland and make things lively about the
wharves.
The manufacture of soft wool hats in Port
land, which has been stagnant for some time
is just starting up for the fall trade About rs
hands are employed at the factory on West
Commercial street and the intended production
is about 100 dozen per day, to be increased if
trade demands greater number. From 60 to
70 styles have been sent out to the trade and
the shop is now employed on duplicate orders.
The quantity of hats appears to be excellent,
and if the general hat market should be good
Portland manufacturers will be likely to get
share of the trade.
