Freights and Markets.
NEW YORK, Jan. H.-Another dreary
| day of storm has kept the freight market
in dull state, and not much has been
done at the wharves of California bound
vessels. The immense quantities of ice
| in the rivers and harbor also act as a
drawback to movement by lighters, thus
delaying the loading of ships. Business
In nearly all leading articles of mer-
| chandise continues moderate, but the
tone is firmer, and in some cases prices
are better. California products gener-
ally are quiet. Wool is more active.
Sales of 10000 pounds spring, at 22925
cents; $1,000 rounds secured at 65;
5000 pounds secured, at so, and 521155
are N, 'orted. Hides are dull and weak
Quicksilver is 3811 and dull. Sperm oil
Is dull; sales of 55 barrels, private.
Whale oil is quiet, sales of 363 barrels,
| private. Hops is very quiet, but the
| offerings are not large, as holders are
looking for an advance; California is
quoted ct 90(d$1. Canned fruits and
salmon are in full supply. Last years
stock of borax is small, and the demand
on stocks is increasing; refined is l214
concentrated 11A. Bone dust is in fair
demand, at $50 per ton. Copper cement

copper, and is quoted at 14(al2 per in
got. Brandy is moderate. Teas are
better, owing to decreased exports from
Japan.

radical innovation. He, therefore, was
very much inclined to vote for Logan's
proposition.

gan's measure.
Runnells, Of Iowa, suggested the I'M
fairness aud impolicy of giving to Ken
tucky tho Same power and influence i'll
