Movement in the produce markets yes
terday was rather quiet, as is. usually the
case on Saturdays, aud the carry-over
stocks were necessarily large. Fresh fruits
are in fair supply, bat the demand 10 OF
small proportions. and even the low
prices now ruling do not appear TO be an
inducemen. to buyers. Navel oranges are
coming to hand In larger quantities for
this early period of the season, and prices
are little on the down grade. Fancy
apples are In good supply, but there is not
much stability to values. Prices cover
wide range, and are generally In the buy
er's favor. Pears are selling very slowly
at the quoted rates. Grapes are in moder-
ate supply, and the demand Is not very
extensive. Vegetables meet with good
steady sale. Dried fruits are unchanged,
the stocks on hand being larger than
present trade demands require, and prices
remaining very low and easy.
Dairy products are selling freely, and
prices are very steady. Fancy creamery
butter advanced cent = pound yesterday.
and the tendency is upward Choice
ranch eggs are scarce and very hrm.
Cheese is held steady at quotations.
Groceries and provisions are in good de-
mand, and values ars quite well sustained.
The wheat market is quiet. and trading
il mostly in futures.

gresham William ). Wilson is
no longer a drawing card in this
city, Three weeks ago, when he
spoke in behalf of his friend,
John K. Cowen, Il he big music
hall was scarcely bi 3 enough to
hold the people. Last night a
business college paid him $500
to deliver a lecture at the same
hall. and though the same fact
had been judiciously advertised,
scarcely 300 people attended.
The expenses were id round
figures 5000, and the receipts
500, entailing a loss of ES5oo to
the college. Heretofore the col
lege has made money OH ali it's
lectures. This is the firsIt time a
loss has been sustained.

Rleetlons " machinery.

The only difficulty about hav.
ing honest elections is that of
getting honestmen to take charge
of them.
Every person who isacquainted
with the wonderful and manifold
uses which mechanical devices
are now constantly used to per.
form know there is no appar-
ent difficult in contriying a vot.
ing machine. More than this.
voting machines of several sorts
have already been constructed.
operated, tested and found so
satisfactory that their employ.
ment has been heartily recon.
mended.
Itappears that voting machines
have been tested and have re-
ceived general encomiums from
the press. 1t has been demon.
strated, SO it is CLAIMED, that
mechanism furnishes a much
cheaper method tof voting than
the Australian ballot system,
which has become the vogue in
many States, ana that it is more
accurate and convenient than any
voting system which has been on
trial IN this country
A single voting machine has
recorded without error a thou
sand votes, showing a capacity
for registering votes which
would allow a very decided re-
duction of election precincts,
with the consequence saving of
rent, service of election officers,
cost of printing tickets and the
incidentals which swell the costs
of elections to large figures in
the aggregate. The appliance
requires but one booth at each
election place, and will aecomp-
lish as much in a given period as
ten or eleven booths under the
present New York system.
1t appears that the machine
counts the vote as it is recorded
by the voter himself, and the, re-
suit is known Immediately at the
closing of the poll, which is GER
TRULY a most important consider
alton, since not only is there a
universal demand for instant
news, but the danger of stuffins
ballot boxes, or of counting the
votes fraudulently, in the period
between the closing of the pools
and the making up of the returns
is eliminated.
The voting is done BY pulling
alever or touching a knob, one
for each ticket or candidate, as.
may be arranged for.
