FOR THE WEEK ENDING July IL.
re are few bright spots in the business
Jon this week. and the outlook is more en-
raging. Notwithstanding the disturbances
used by the Western strike, jobbers general
= report an improvement in the volume of
trade. and it compares fayorably with that of a
year ago. There has been an absence of Cali
fornia fruit for some time past. The only radi-
cal change for the week will be noticed in Pro-
visions, with the market for dressed beef at the
close easier, and we look for lower prices for
this commodity IN a few days; we quote sides
here to-day at 51a@10c % ID, kinds 11@13c,
fores 697c. rounds at Zoe, rump and loins 15@
l7c,backs at 9@1oc rattles 5; native lambs sell
at 12@l6; Sheep quoted at 1Oc There was
more of a business aspect at the Chicago stock
yards to-day; although the receipts were very
small, there is prospect of liberal arrivals very
soon, and prices are quotably weak, owing. to
declines at western points, cattleE ranging from
1895 90, hogs 2595 rs, and sheep So Oo@
81 90. Fresh fish firm, iobbing to-day at Sc %
ID for Cod and Haddock, lac for Hake &c for
Cusk, 12@14c for Halbut, 10c for MackereI;
Salmon at 1Sc HOLSTERS 12c ~ fb. Flour quiet
with fair movement: prices are firm and I'M
changed: millers early in the week were asking
1Oc advance, but sales are being made at old
quotations. Corn closed frmer to-day, while oats
weak and lower at Chicago: no change in this
market. Sugars steady with good inquiry.
Dry fish have been more active. Mackerel firm,
and higher; receipts light with very few, if any,
in first hands; the stock OF dry fish is cleaning
up well. ana will all be wanted by the time new
fish arrives. Cheese firm and about 1ac higher,
Eggs have advanced, jobbers selling at tic for
fresh Eastern and Ice for Western. Potatoes

NO CLOVER FOR JOSEPHS.

NO CLOVER FOR JOSEPHS.
 We suppose that one of the most power. full influences in the Democratic campaign which resulted in the election of Cleveland was the stirring gong, "Grover, Grover, Four years more of Grover. Then we'll be in clover" This song fired the zeal and satisfied the imagination of those who gang it. They saw themselves happy and proa- porous under Democratic rule, and as con- tented as COWS in . clover field. They sang about Grover and Clover all through the campaign, they sang about the two as they went to the polls, and they sang to the same effect more heartily than ever when the returns came in and they were sure of Grover and Clover. They are not singing now.
 It would naturally be thought that the man who thus linked Grover and Clover in song and furnished one of the most powerful motors of the campaign, would be entitled to gratitude for his great ser vice. But Dr. Samuel Josephs of Pennsyl- vania, who wrote the song, has been look ing for his clover in the shape of an ap. pointmsnt to be United States marshal It has not come, and he is wondering what he ever wrote that song for. He feels as though his poetic license ought to have been revoked before 1t was ever abused in that way, and he doesn't know how he allowed his imagination to so get the upper hand of his judgment.
 Dr. Josephs has certainly cause for dis gust and regret. Cleveland Is certainly deeply indebted to him. But what can be expected of an administration that has from the beginning shown neither gratitude nor a sense of humor9

ONE YEAR OF GROVER.

President Cleveland is celebrating the anniversary of bis inauguration by shoot- ing ducks. great many of the people are celebrating 1t by eating free soup and the bread of charity, and wondering if they will be able to hold out through the three years more of his term.
 What @ year it has been in contrast with what was promised those who wanted a change. Instead of prosperity there hss been panic and poverty. Instead of in- creased wages there have been cut-downs and cut offs. And instead of better gov ernment there has been no government that seemed to have intelligence or firm purpose in it. Never in the history of the country has the incspacity of the Demo- cratic party to govern been plainer or more disastrous. It is depressing and distress ing in the extreme to think that the coun. try has only served quarter of the sen terce passed upon it by the deluded voters.
 We hear that the President is not man given to dIstrust of himself, but even his egotism must be a little impressed by the position he finds h,mself in. A year ago he mounted his throne amid the hearty ap- plause of the Democrats end the sincere worship of tbe Mugwumps. Now the Democrats are not spplauding him and the Mugwumps are not worshipping him. It has been discovered that he is not infali- be, and there Is even some doubt about his being Democrat. He has disappoint- ed everybody except those whom he has put in office, and many of them are dissp pointed because be didn't do as we'll by them as they thought he ought to. He is as un- popular as he was popular. He seems to have lost his grip everywhere, even In the Sandwich Islsnds, where Sister Dominis no longer calls him her great and good white friend.

 The deceased prelste was born in March, lSl1. and was therefore in his seventy sixth year. At the age of eleven years he became Abbot of Dsidoji, in Oni, and in lS46 succeeded to the hesdship of Hong wan Ji. The services rendere3 by him to the imperial conrt were numerous. Thus, in lsf2, when the sovereign was expected to take the field in persoa against foreign ers, he presented to the court ten thou- sand riyo, and a similar sum In 1867, to- sether with four thousand bales of rice on the occasion of the restoration. Thence forth duties connected with the finances ot the court were intrusted to officers of the temple, and the manner of their dis charge in connection with the northern ex- petition against the last sdheTents of Sho- guns, ss we'll as the opaning of HokksIdo, won the emperor's approval.
 In 1872 the deceased prelate received patent of nobility and 6 pension, and in 1859 he surrendered his high office to his son. Shortly bsfore his death be was a'sed to the frst-olsss of the secoad grade of official rank.
