menting upon the wool market says:
The center Of interest in *the coun-
try" has moved from Ohio and Mich

petition for the new clip is active.
Holders are firm there, as they have
been further East, and the general

The product OF the sheep farms Of
the Middle States, Ohio, Michigan.
Wisconsin, Kentucky and Missouri,
as well as Of Texas, has been pretty
much cleaned up, local spectators
having bought even more freely than
Eastern dealers and manufacturers.
The information received Of late from
London has strengthened the views
OF the interior growers, and all the
attainable information goes to show
that the bulk Of the American clip
has passed out of first hands on a
higher plane Of values than that
which prevailed on the seaboard
throughout the spring. Little has
been heard about shortage of supply,
a V that the Texas output has been
reported considerably below the an
ticipated amount. so that the market
improvement in the situation since

Ed. ReQaster--We notice in your issue OF
the 2ad that the Des Arc base ball club
claims that we, the Hogan club, refused to
play them last Saturday, the 18th, thereby
acknowledging their superiority. We wish
| to state that this statement is entirely false.
We, the Hogan club, asked them to postpone
| the game until the 25th, on account of our
| captain being subpGnaed as witness in, a
law suit in Jefferson county, Mo-, that day,
Also OH account of our catcher being sick
| and unable to play, and as the above excuse
is genuine one, we, do not feel willing for
the people to believe their statement made
in your issue of the 23d, and we hereby chal-
lenge them to cross bats with us OH the
Hogan grounds Saturday, the 1st day of
October, or any future Saturday that suits
them. We are more than willing to meet
them in a second contest. Weallowed them to
blow about what they called "their yictory'
of the 1lth, and said nothing, thinking they
would be as good as their word and play US
q return game. And we wers confident that
the score of the game when played would
prove to the people which was the superior
club. If the particulars of the game played
at Des Arc were published we know that the
Des Arc boys would be sorry they ever men,
toned anything about the game, but we will
let it go and only say, boys, come up next
Saturday and we will play you 2 square
game and not stop playing when you are at
the bat BECAUSE we find you are going to
come ont victorious.

The Veterans of the Old 21st Illinois
Honor the Occasion with Their
Presence.

IRoNTON, Mo-, September 21.-The most
| significant event in the early history of the
war for the preservation of the Union was
celebrated here to-day by survivors of the
21st Regiment, Illinois Volunteers, who were
the first to pitch tents here at the breaking
out Of the rebellion, and they were royalty
entertained by the people of the Arcadia VAL
ley, many of whom lived here in SCI and who
entered heartily into the spirit of the occa
sion which brought the boys in blue again to
their vicinity. There were not as many old
soldiers as it was anticipated there would be
two weeks ago, when it was intended to
make the celebration of the battle of Pilot
Knob feature of The day. Various causes
combined to make it necessary TO omit that
from the original programme, but the prin-
cipal feature, that of unveiling statue in
commemoration OF the time and place where
Gen. Grant received his promotion from Col
onel 10 the rank of Brigadier General was
patrioticalIy and successfully carried out.
Gen. Grant was Colonel of ne 21st Illinois
Volunteers at the commencement of the war
and camped at this place several weeks, his
headqua,' ers being in a small dwelling close
to beautiful spring of clystai wafer shaded
