BOSTON MARKETS.

Unless there is likelihood that the new
crop of wheat, when 1t begins to move,
will check the upward tendency of the
flour market there will be boom in
that staple commodity at an early date.
Although the rainy weather had ten
deDcy last week to tighten receipts sufh-
ciently to advance prices fraction, there
will be no reaction on that account, as
the tone of the foreign market is very
strong, and winter flours are selling
abroad at better prices than in the home
market. The butter market is in the
same state as at our last report and will
remain so until shipments of inferior and
medium grades are greatly lessened.
The market is virtually glutted, the
stock being so large that it is impossible
for the storage houses to provide for it.
Under such circumstances butter, to ef-
feet sales, must be forced at prices
which are ruinous to producers. Our
advice Is to hold stocks for a few weeks
until consumption shall cause a move-
ment. In eggs the market is equally re-
stricted by heavy stocks, except in choice
eastern, which are in light supply and
will bring outside quotations. Beans
are slow, the light demand for them be-
ing caused by the looked for decline
which always comes at this season.
Potatoes are selling we'll, and those
marketed thus far show an excellent
condition of the crop. The market Tor
hay is not active, receipts for the past
week have been smaller and the large
stocks here have been reduced but
slightly. Strictly choice hay is not
over plenty and comparatively firmer
than the medium grades. We quote:

A RICH FIND.

Discovery of a SunI<cn Vessel with
Cargo of Tin, Lead and Spelter.
The wreck of the English bark Midway,
which foundered in 1853 while bound from
London to Philadelphia, with a cargo of tin,
lead and spelter, worth over $50, 900, has
been located by the Atlantic and Gulf

landed at Almond street wharf Philadelphia,
a consignment of various metals from the
Midways cargo which had been brought to
the surface by divers, and although corroded
by the action of salt water, the entire con-
sgnment was sold at the highest market

a case of brandy, much improved by its CON
finement in the lost shippers cabin Many

GAINESVILLE EXCITED.
A CoIored Postmaster Assigned To
CiarksvIiie, Tenn, Which May
be a Mistake.


Tue daily papers of Wednesday
c )utaiI cd the announcement that the
President had appointed "Thos. w.
Gaines to be postmaster at Clarks-
vile, Tenn, vice E. p. Rutherford re-
moved" This announcement threw
our neighboring city into great ex-
citement mingled with rage and con-
sternatioD. The Thos. w. Gaines
who was supposed to be the party
referred to ia q colored dealer In sec
hand clothing, who has been in
Clsrksville only about year.
The GAINESVILLE papers were great
ly exercised over the matter and
the reports published do not all
consist. The correspondent of the
Courier Journal says Gaines admits
that he filed an application two
months ago. The Progress and
Chronicle both represent him as say
ing that be knew nothing OF the mat
ter. The present post-mistress at
Clarksville, Tenn is Mrs. Mary b
johnson and the guide shows that
e. p. Rutherford Is postmaster at
Clarksville, Tex. This shows that
the two Ciarksyilles have been mixed
up and 1t is not definitely known
which was meant. 1t is not
likely that Clarksville, Tex,
also has . Thos. w. Gaines
and it may b, that Clsrksville, Tenn,
was really intended, and Rutherford's
name used by mistake instead Of
Mrs. job nson's. The GAINESVILLE pa
pera are Inclined to accept the theory
that 1t was the other GAINESVILLE, and
there may be another Thos. w.
Gaines, who Is q white man, If that
be true. As there are but very few
white Republicans is Clarksville,
Tenn, 1t Is not at all improbable that
4 colored postmaster may be appoint
Cd by the present administration, as
that seems to be the Harrison policy
In the South. The people Of that city
were very justly indignant, and 1t
may be after all that the outrage
was intended for them.
