THE BUTTER MARKET DE-
MORALIZED.

In the memory of the oldest and
the most experienced butter buyers
and deelers of New England, there
has never been spring when the
market was so utterly demoralized,
so much old butter, and so few buy
ers. All are sellers, rather than
buyers. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of butter that had been
held by dealers and farmers, with the
hope of forcing the price to higher
figure, was thrown on the market the
first of February, to be disposed of
before April 1, when six months was
none too short time to use all this
stock at advantageous rates. This
of course made a break in the market
and old butter has gone down to a
ruinously low figure. Not being
willing to sell for 10 to II cents per
pound what cost them an average of
33 cents, dealers held until now, and
it is rare thing to obtain 10 cents a
pound for old stock. To convey an
idea of the quantity of old butter in
stock, the amounts which a few of
the most prominent dealers are now
holding are given L. G. Hall of st.
Adams, has 1000 packages S. K.
Dexter of Lowell, Mass, 1900 tubs
Austin, Richardson & Co., of Law
renee, Mass, 800; M. V. B. Mea-
ker, Mora, n. Y, 5000 seventy
pound tubs; j. G. Fay & Co., Bos-
ton, 5000; S. c. Crapser of Northern
New York, 10000 seventy-pound
tubs of Northern creamery butter, on
which report has it he will lose some
100000. Many others have from
500 to 1000 packages. Nearly all of
this butter is in tubs holding from 80
to 20 pounds, at an average cost of
33 cents per pound. The parties
making these heavy losses are old,
well established and financially solid
dealers, and there can be no fear of
any financial embarrassment of any
of them. 1t is estimated that Boston
dealers, and parties shipping to Bos-
ton, will lose from S500,000 to $780,
900. Montpelier dealers sustain
comparatively light losses Barre
buyers lose about $4,000, and those
in Waterbury a similar amount. The
dealers at Richmond, having bought
largely on orders, escape with a tri-
fling loss. The cause of this break
in the market has been stated to be
the holding for higher prices by both
dealers and farmers. The reason
why the price did not go up was due
to the decrease in the demand for
export, and also the demand from
the far West being III a measure cut
off, because those who created a
market there last year made enough
for home consumption, and in some
cases shipped a surplus to the East.
The weekly shipments supplied the
the market, and there was no call for
the very large quantities of butter
held in cold storage and in the cellars
of the farmers. When warm weather
drew near it became necessary that
these holdings be disposed of before
IL H.
and it was forced out in self-defence.
1t is estimated that there are now
5000 tubs of old butter held by the
farmers of Northern Vermont that
might have been sold last season for
from 80 to 80 cents per pound, but
which now is slow to sell in Boston
at 10 cents per pound, while every
| week of warm weather lessons its

TEXAS LANDS.
Would-Be Buyers-The State Treasurer to
Be Sued for Damages.

AUSTIN, Tex, April 2s.-The Commissioners
of the Land Office is in receipt of great
number of letters desiring to purchase lands
in large bodies in Texas They are mostly
from Europe, and he thinks if he had the
authority, and the lands were on the market,
that he could sell 5000, 900 or 100000 acres
at 81 or 50 an acre.
Maddox Bros, land agents of this place,
rendered the State Treasurer $4,000 in full
payment OF thirty sections of school lands
filed on prior to Feb. 3, the date the land was
withdrawn from the market. About the
middle of March they made the first payment
on the purchase, but to-day the Treasurer,
acting under decision from the Attorney
general, given March 2S, refused to receive
the money, the decision holding that the
Treasurer has no authority to receive money
on lands unless first payment has been made
prior to the act withdrawing lands from sale.
Maddox Bros, it being impossible to manda-
mus State officer, will sue the Treasurer
and mis- bondsmen for damages.

MIR. RAUM RESIGNS.
Unexpected Resignation of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal

Unexpected Resignation of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-General Raums
resignation, on Saturday, was a great
surprise to everybody, only one or two
OF his most intimate friends
having been aware of his intention to retire.
Mr.. New, whom he asked to accompany him
to the White House. did not know the nature
OF the Generals mission until they had left
the Treasury building. The President was
greatly astonished, and appeard to be consid-
erably relieved when General Raum gave him
his reasons for resigning. The Commissioner
states frankly that it was duty he owed his
family to make provision for them, and that
he could not do this on a salary
of $4,000. The conversation between the
President and General Raum was of the
friendliest possible character the former
frankly and heartily expressing his regret at
the loss of so good an officer, and compli-
menting the General in the highest terms.
General Raum and Mr.. New called upon
Secretary Folger later in the day, and a
pleasant interchange of compliments and
expressions of personal regard and conf
dencc ensued. In reply to published state
ments otunpleasant relations betweenGeneral
Raum and Secretary Folger, the latter said,
in an interview tonight, that he was very
sorry to see such trash get into the papers;
he said that their relations had been
and were still of the most friendly
nature. 1t was true that they differed
in opinion some time ago as to the ad-
visibility of the proposed extern
sion OF time during which whisky should
remain in bond, but this did not
in the slightest degree affect their private
and personal relations.
Illinois will make an effort to keep the
office, and several good men from that
State will be urged for the place,
including George NJ. Bogue, of Chicago; John
B. Peters and Frank Leonard, of Springfield
kilograms have been received suggesting the
appointment of Will Cumback, of Indiana
1t is reported that within three hours after
the resignation of General Raum, as Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue was accepted,
six applications were received by the Pres-
dent from ex-members of Congress for the
position.
The judgeship question is still unsettled.

dam. Secretary Lincoln declines to author
lze the expenditure of the $210 900 included
in the first item, because the improve
ment and protection of the channels
OF these rivers by the erection OF restraining
barriers upon the Yuba, American and Bear
rivers, tributaries OIL the Sacramento and
Feather to hold back the flow of debris
caused by hydraulic mining, would involve
the expenditure within the next year of a
million and a half of dollars with
doubtful results, and would at best
prove but partial remedy if hydraulic
mining should continue. The remaining
seven items of the appropriation aggregate
S33,OOO, the expenditure of which has not
been ordered by the Secretary, because in
each instance the amount is deemed wholly
insufficient to accomplish the results desired.
WORK under the above appropriations
has therefore been deferred TO await future
action by Congress. OF the total amount
appropriated by the act of August, 1882,
General Wright chief of engineers, estimates
that about five and a quarter millions of
dollars Will remain unexpended at
the end of the present fiscal year, and will
be available TO continue works of improve
ment at 237 points The amounts which will
remain on June 30, unex pended and to the
credit of these works of improve
ment, respectively, win vary from 500 to $685.
O00 the latter sum being for the Improvement
OF the Mississippi river, and the dates at
which it is estimated these sums will have
been expended cover the period from july.
1888, to June 80, 1884. On the list of works
which will thus be continued during
the next fiscal year are the improve
ment of ship channel. Galveston bay;
the Mississippi river Improvement;
improving the falls of the Ohio; general i'm
provement of the Kentucky river; harbor
of refuge Grand Marais Mich, and the
harbor at Milwaukee; improving the Illinois
river, Sault st. Marie river, Mich, and the
harbors at Cleveland, Buffalo, Toledo, and
Oakland, Cal.

DUBLIN, April 28.-Another arrest has been
made in connection with the conspiracy to
murder. The prisoner is a tailor named
Nevin. Nevin is the man who was men
toned yesterday by the informer Devine as
having been appointed by the Fenians to find
the. hiding place of Poole, who had been con-
demned to death Devine also stated that
Nevin was afterward charged by the assassins
with deceiving them.
The Dublin police have discovered that the
seven men wanted for participation in the
murder conspiracy have left Ireland The
police are in constant communication with
the police of Manchester, Liverpool, Newcas-
tie and London, touching the movements of
suspected persons.
The person seen by Devine at the meeting
of the Irish vigilance committee at Dublin
and who Devine yesterday said was a member
of Parliament, was described by the witness
as having fresh complexion, beard and
mustache of light color. Devine said this
man was present at meeting held by the
vigilants and had decided upon the death of
Poole.
Three arrests in connection with the con-
spiracy to murder have been made at Fulla-
more in consequence of the information

The police have evidence duplicating James
Carey a witness for the crown in the State
trials, in the murders of Talbot, police in
former of Clarke, Fenian informer, and of
the bricklayer Behan, and also in the at
tempted murder of Murphy, book-keeper for
the Irish People. 1t is likely that Carey will
be tried for one of these crimes. The assas-
sination of Behan was not connected with
the political troubles.
