New YORK, July 22.--The market continues
fairly active in demand. With selections there
is much steadiness, but for more moderate guam
ties than usual TO the period of the season and
preparation for autumn stocks. The movement
of goods is in excess of immediate salas, ut
present, though deliveries many orders of
good quantity are going forward.

Ihere mas DeehAsVery moderate demand for
corn at lower prices during the past week;
ceipts were just the same for the previous
week and ,790 bushels were taken from elevator.
The receipts of oats were only 1000
bushels against 5000 for the previous week:
prices have been lower; street receipts also have
been light; the stock In elevators has been re-
6uced by 1900 bushels. Barley is just where it
was last week the receipts are the same to a car
load, being four cars only for each week, and the
prices have been unchanged. flour demands no
new comment what has been said and reiterated
in these columns sgan and again applies
to-day equally as well as it did three months ago
The home and northwestern trade is unchanged,
and so is the eastern and foreign; the total num-
Der of cars shipped the past week compared to
the previous week was just one car less; prices
are unchanged. There has been great falling
off in the receipts of ground feed the past
week, cars only coming in against IA
for the previous week. The demand has also
been light. The supply of hay has been light,
and high prices offered were not successful in
increasing it. Farmers deliveries of hay too
have somewhat fallen off: So 500i0.00 have
been offered for wild in bales, and Sl1 5O0i12 90
| for timothy. The butter market is no better
than it was last week; the receipts continue
| liberal, and the demand only fair for the
| best brands and slow for common. Movements
eastward have been very slow and no large sales
have been recorded. Quotations remsin the
same as last week. Bacon and provisions con-
Time firm with fair demand. Dressed meats
are little easier: hides, tallow and wool are
weaker. Hops aud brewers materials unchanged.
There is fair demand for live poultry with a
good supply of spring chicken. The weather is
greatly against shipping dressed birdf and
shippers advised to send in their birds alive
The supply of domestic fruits has been more
liberal the past week. California fruits are now
coming in quite freely, and especial feature of
the market is the offerings of Oregon and Wash
ngtonterritory fruits OF E.ost excellent quatyand
/ they come to hand in good shape. Oranges are
nearly ont of the market and the few offered are
held at high prices; spples are becoming more
plentiful but prices no easier: there still
seems to be good supply Of red raspberries. out
prices have somewhat advanced. Blueberries,
which for day or two were scarce,
are again more plentiful. Vegetables
are in abundant supply and
of excellent quality. Tomatoes from below are

DR.. j. G. AVER & Co.-Twenty wears ago

others OF the crew and myself were laid up with
scurvy. Our bodies were bloated, gums swollen
and bleeding, teeth loose, purple blotches all
over US, and our breath seemed rotten. Take 1t
!Dy and large we were pretty badly of. All our
hmeJuice was accidentally destroyed, but the
captain had couple dozen bottles of AYERs

cred on IT. quicker than have ever seen men
brought about by any other treatmentforS curvy,

much pleasure to testify to the great value of
your Sarsaparllla. We have been stationed
here for over two years, during which time we
had to live in tents. Being under canvas for
such time brought on what is called in this

To the Editor of the JOURNAL and COURIER:
 Bath-kol was a sort of divination among the late Jews. After the inspiration of the prophets ceased, men were guided by voice. In fact, when seeking instruction they put 8 divine Interpretation upon the first voice they chanced to hear and kindly obeyed it's suggestion. Such fortuitous regulation of conduct must necessarily prove in the main embarrassing, and are calculated, if follow ed unswervingly, to lead into difficulty.
 Bath-kol finds it's modern representation in the action of the Independent Republicans 3 Like that large-minded worthy among the ancients who ostracised Aristides, not be- cause he had any fault to find with him per sonally, but because he " as tired of hearing him called "the just" the malcontents who have rushed blindly from the Republi- can party seeking Bath-kol have had neither higher nor ulterior motive than 'desire for change"
 In the earlier part of the campaign the power of the Independents" was underrated by many, but .sagacious politicians foresaw the danger to the Republican party from the very moment that the Independents" bap- homer. Misnaned indeed they are, since Republican" they will not be, and "In dependent" they cannot be, or they would never tannely consent to be tied to the tail of Democracy. The question to be answered is, did the so-called Independents fairly force the result of their action? Were they then prepared, and are they now entirely satisfied, to ally themselves with open treason and re- belion at the South, and tacit treason and rebellion at the North2 Are the elder s'Independents'' willing to declare the war failure and themselves ready to have made craven peace on cowardly terms? Are the younger independents" ready to own honestly in so many definite Saxon words that they would have barred the way to the abolition of slavery, and the enfran- chisement of race? And can both either decry or admit without shame, that if they are joined to Democracy, they are plotting against the industry of the country, and secretly seeking to reduce all classes of work ingmen to the level of the European pau per7
 Examine the record of the Democratic party for the past twenty years and you will look in vain for one act of public policy which is creditable to it. That the Republi- can party has sometimes made mistakes is not to be denied, for when indeed is humani- ty other than fallible9 But it is equally true, and far more important to remember, that upon the whole the national adminis- tration has been wise and honest Why leave it to follow the uncertain und irreso- lute voice of Bath-kol?

COUNTY AND CITY DEBT.

CODNTE AND C1TX DEEBTs
 At the recent election in New York an amendment to the constitution of the State was voted upon which prohibits counties and cities from going into debt for any purpose or in any manner to an amount which, in cluding existing indebtedness, shall exceed ten per cent. of the assessed value of the real estate. It is believed that the amendment most lost sight of amid the excitement over the presidential contest. There is great need of some such law as this in New York and also in other States. Indeed, it would be a wise provision for any State.
 There are in the United States about 2, 400 counties, 311 cities and towns with a popula- tion of 300 and upward; about 5000 incor- porated cities, villages and other small places with population below 7,500; about 12,O00 townships having financial existence, and 1O5, 900 school districts possessing a debt creating and tax-levying power-nearly 129,- GOO minor political divisions all industriously engaged in piling up debt for the taxpayers of the United States to pay
 The first statistics of municipal indebted ness were published in 1913, from which it appears that the aggregate amount of the debts of all the cities of the country was nearly $28, 900, 900. There are no other sta tistics until the imperfect returns of 1879, which show a debt of S515 5,810, 900, exclusive, of course, of State debts. In 1880 the work was done for the first time thoroughly. Every one of the 128, 900 minor political di- visions was reached direct from Washington system of tabulation adopted. It was found that in the decade upward of $500, ,000, ,000 had been added to this class of indebtedness the net local debt of the country aggregating, after deducting the sinking funds, sS21, : 486, ,447.
 This money has gone for streets, for parks, for public buildings. for railroads, for water works, for schools, for libraries, for harbors, for bridges, for fire departments, for war ex- penses and for cemeteries. Annually our cities and towns and counties have to pay about $69, ,00O, 900 for interest on this debt the rates varying from 2 per cent. to 10 per cent. and over.
 It is easy for State or county or city to get into debt, as it is for an individual, but it is not easy to get out. Therefore more care ought to be taken about getting in. There is no real need for great part of the enormous debt of the States, counties and cities of this country
