BosroN, April 1.-THE Advertiser in its
weekly review Of the wool market says:
The market has been very active in point
of actual transactions but the feature Of
the week has been the extensive inquiry
from manufacturers, who have been in
the market in larger numbers tAan for six
or eight previous weeks, taking sample
bags, aad making generally low offers for
lots Of woola Under the influence of the
inquiry, tue tone tor some descriptions is
strong, but others are weak, and in buyers
favor. Many worsted mills have been on
the market; and, in short, the activity OF
the manufacturers would Indicate that
they have more orders on hand, and that
their supply OF woods is light, the latter
being surely q conceded fact. Dealers are
quite ayerse TO talking upon the situation,
as with the new clips coming forward
they will shortly bo buyers in the coun-
try, and of course they want 10 buy as low
as possible. There Is no speculation, eli.
ther among manufacturers or dealers, and
the war excitement prevailing as we write
made no peroeptible impression upon the
stoieal condition OF 1.-THE market. The ad-
yances ingram, breadstuds and provisions,
II maintained, will do much TO improve
the condition OF business. The agricultu-
raj interests OF this country are more i'm
poriant than all others. The total vslue
ofthe cropsraised exceeds $500, 900 900, 900.
An advance in the prices OF leading arti.
cles, II realized by the farmer, will there.
fore he a good thing, and place the agri-
cultural interests upon a soundet and
more prosperous footing.

Weaker.
NGw YoRK, April 11.-Agentleman who
spent two hours with one Of the Grant
family to-day, contirmedt tonight the state
ment that General Grant passed worse
morning than is indicated In the bulletin.
"The General had a bad spell until noon
to-day" he said. at wasn't particularly
dangerous, but 1t caused some alarm
among the family. Colonel Fred. Grant,
who, next to the physicians, understands
his fathers condition better than any one,
sent quietly for DR.. shrady. That is the
reason why he returned TO the house
three hours before heintendedto when
he left. There has been too much
morphine used in easing the Generals
pain, and the only result has been to
create continual craving for it by him.
His life has been prolonged thus far by
dosing him with this drug, and, now that
1t Is beginning to lose its ELECTS, he must
begin to fail. Tho doctors are Just real
izing what they have been doing, and,
while not deliberately making statements
that are not warranted by the Generals
real condition, they neglect to commune
cate to the public great many incidents
that would put different light on the
situation. Their failure to Incorporate
tho state Of the Generals mind when he
awoke this morning, in the bulletins, Is
an evidence OF this.
General Grant," continued the gentie-
man, ais existing on morphine, and for
my part think it is time a protest was
raised against keeping him in such state.
He is sleeping under its influence both
day and night. l know OF my experience
that people go in and out OF that room and
talk to him without his recognizing
them. When he is spoken to some
times while he Is seated in his chair,
he will look at the speaker with a
vacant unconscious stare, and then close
his eyes without uttering word. He sits
for hours and never speaks TO those about
him. He talks to himself constantly, and
generally about the war. Almost every.
battle that he has ever directed hasbeen
gone over while he is in this ssmi-deliri-
Gus state, and he calls his old officers
about him Just as II it was twenty years
ago. His work on his war history has
probably brought the incidents back to
him and kept them in his mind"

used freely the General has had similar IL

the dreamy doze OF waking from sleep by
morphia the recollections are not so
prompt or vivid. A case in point was

OF the opiate was passing of on Friday or
