SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1863
THE DETROIT CONVENTION.
The business men of the country are un
usually well represented at the. Commer
cial Convention now in session at Detroit.
There is, of coursd, much diversity of
opinion among delegates who represent
constituencies of conflicting views and in
terests. But we rejoice to see evidences of
general unanimity in such au imposing as
tiernblage on three great points, viz : That
Special care should be taken to foster and
protect all our industrial interests ; that pe
cuniary Considerations harmonize with and
strengthen that noble instinct of loyalty
which prompts all good men to give a
hearty and cheerful support to our Govern
ment ; and that, for the advantages which
Great Britain has realized heretofore from
the Reciprocity Treaty we must either be
rows?. ded hereafter by a great extension of
privileges in her British American posses
sions, or abandon the reciprocity policy al
together.
The movement being made by ultra par
tisans, and by the special advocates of the
interests of foreign importers, for the re
vival of a free_trade yolicy in this Country,
evidently meets witli no favor in the judg
ment of the Detroit Convention. Its meat_
hers, though almost exclusively devoted to
commerce, understand too well the relative
value anti importance of our foreign and
internal trade to seek to give a new im
pulse to the former at the expense of the
latter. And they see in the burdens im
posed upon the nation by the war for free
dom, a paramount necessity, never feltbefore,
of giving to the genius and industry, of our
country trn ample opportunity for supply
ing by home labor home wants ; and of en
abling our own citizens to sustain them
selves and the Government by as many
diverse occupations as they can skilfully
conduct. These views are well expressed
in the resolutions adopted at the tuggestion
of the Committee on Agriculture and
Manufactures, viz !
" 11' her nos, Owing to the heavy taxation ne•
eessarily levied upon the people of the United
States to meet the interest and expenses of the
Government, it has become more imperative
upon the. Government to nurse had encourage
the industrial pursuits of the nation; there
fore
Resolved,. That the agricultural, mechanical,
manufaetUring, and all other branches
of American industry should be alike secured
in the enjoyment of permanent and remuner
ative recompense, inasmuch as American la
bor and its products is the main source upon
which the Government must rely for its needed
revenue to meet the annual demands upon its
treasury, and its only safe dependence.
Reaolred, That in order to perform this
duty, as well as this financial necessity, a dis
crimination in favor Of those productions
upon which American labor depends for its
permanent prosperity should be exercised by
the Government when imposing duties upon
foreign imports, because when American in
dustry and labor languishes, its ability to re
spond to excise demands must be correspond
ingly impaired.
Resolved. That such action is now a more
absolute duty of the Govermneut, inasmuch
as its hosts of heroes who have on the battle
field Vindicated its honor and maintained our
tag" are returning to those varied pnrsnits
which they left to defend the country, and to
which they now again look for their liveli
hood, and which Government, in deference to
their patriotism and its own wants, should
render as remunerative as possible."
The Reciprocity Treaty has practically
proved of immense advantage to the peo
ple of Canada, and of comparatively little
use to our own citizens. It furnishes our
Northern neighbors a splendid market for
their products, and yields us but limited
opportunities in return. It gives the Cana
dians as great advantages on our soil as if
they were Americans, yet confers upon
Americans no equivalent in their intercourse
with Canada. Our Consul General was
present to oppose the renewal of the treaty,
on the ground that if the Canadians were
deprived of its privileges they would soon
favor annexation as the only practical
method of having free trade With the United
States, and thus confer favors and benefits,
as well as receive them ; while, if it is re
newed, they will continue to enrich them
selves at our expense.
The Committee on Reciprocity, after giv
ing a hearing to the Canadian Representa
tives and to our COnstil General, reported
the following resolutions, which have elici
ted an animated debate :
Bemired. That this Convention do approve
of the action of the Government of the United
States in giving notice to the Government of
Great Britain of the wish to terminate the
treaty of June 6th, 1 Lid.
Rem2red, That this Convention do respect
fully request the President of the United States
to enter into negotiations with the Govern
went of Great Britain, having in view the ex
ecution of a treaty between the two countries
for reciprocal commerce and intercourse be
tween us and the several provinces of British
North America, including
...British Columbia,
Selkirk Settlements; and N ancouver , s Island,
based on principles which shall be just and
equitable to all parties, and which shall also
include the free navigation of the St. Law
rence and other rivers of British North Ame
rica, with such improvements upon the rivers
and enlargements of the canals as shall render
them adequate for the requirements of the
West in connecting with the ocean.
AMERICAN INDESTRY.
The superficial and plausible idea that
prevent Cheapness in the price of commodi
ties is the primary requirement of the pros
perity of a community, has been the cause
of terrible injury to our national growthand
improvement in industrial pursuits.
If the English manufacturer, with all his
advantages of immense capital and his ab
solute control over bands of starving ope
ratives, could give us muslin or cloth at
even a very slightly lower price than they
could be manufactured at home, under all
the present disadvantages of inexperience
and deficient capital, we were taught that it
was our best policy to purchase from him.
When, as a direct consequence of this
mode of action, our mills were closed, and
the - workmen sent adrift to seek less re
munerative, because less skilled, employ
ment, we were left entirely at the mer
cy of the foreign manufacturd. The
British capitalists, after having combined,
as was frequently the ease, to sell their
goods below their value, in order to crush
out our manufactures, were at liberty, when
that work - was well accomplished, to repay
themselyes for past losses by enhancement
of prices. All hopes of a home competition
being thus thoroughly destroyed, it only
remained for us to grow the cotton and
send it abroad, buying it again at a price
which gave support to the :foreign work
man and a profit to the foreign manufac
turer, paying, of course, besides; the cost
Of carriage twice across the ocean, as raw
material and manufactured article ; and it
was thus we bought cheap I
In the light of recent events we have
learned, also, that this conduct was in
reality building up an inimical power,
which 11'OUld be ever ready to assail us
whenever a condition of things should
arise that would threaten its stpremacy
over our trade. The war has shown. that
by Great _Britain the privilege of manufac
turing our cotton for our use in her mills
was more prized than right, truth justice,
and all her much-vaunted philanthropy.
Yet, during the past, the masses of the
community could not he brought to believe
that a slight protection which would start
our mills, save the ocean carriage and the
wages and profits swallowed abroad, with
the advantage of giving remunerative em
ployment to our own citizens, would soon
create a capital which' would enable uS,
with our supreme facilities, to speedily un
dersell the world, at least in our own
market.
With a people most especially fitted for
mechanical employments, recognized by
the whole world as ingenious, inventive,
and pre-eminently successful in all depart
ments of machinery—particularly in labor
saving and time-saving contrivanceswe
have, by an insane system of legislation,
compelled ourselves to become an agri
cultural people, depending upon the raw
productions of our soil and the rawer pro
ducts of our mines, which a bountiful na
ture has supplied.
Fortunately, Nature is very kind to the
American laborer. She • has abundant
harvests ready to answer to his most care
less culture. Her great prairies almost
spontaneously offer him food, and when he
has ignorantly and negligently disregarded
her simple requirements, or treated her
bounty with careless extravagance, she
offers millions of gold to cover the deficits,
and whole Californias to straighten hiS ac
counts with a world which should be in his
debt.
PARLIAMENTARY MATTERS
On last Thursday there was -the com
mencement, in "the United ICingdem of
Great Britain and Ireland," of the most ex_
citing as well as the most costlyparliamen
tary election that has taken phtee in . 4, the
old country" gine° the passing - of the Re
form Bill, in 1832. We notice it because
we firmly believe that on its issue depends
the continuance of our amity with England.
If the liberal interest should prevail, Lord
PALMERSTON will remain in office, and he
has the good sense to know that England's
proper policy is to remain on good terms
with the United States. If the Tories ob
tain a majority, there will be an end to
Lord PALMERSTON'S administration ; Lord
Dratny will come in as prime minister (i. e.
as virtual ruler of the British Empire,) and
we know that this excitable and earnest
"Hotspur of debate" has been the staunch
est advocate Of Southern rebellion" and of
JEFFERSON DAVIS as its head, that ever
spoke in Parliament. We have carefully
exaniined the reports from the election dis
tricts, and our belief is that there will be a
.great change in the personality of the House
iof Commons, but not much change in its
Pontieg- If we are correct in our conclu
sion, PALMERSTON will continue in office.
The Imperial Parliament, as it has been
designated ever since the infamous parch
ment Union of 1800, consists of the Lords
and the Commons. There are 457 mem
bers of the House of Lords, which is some
times called "the Upper House." They
correspond with our Senate in Washington,
except that, with few exceptions, they hold
their seats by virtue of their rank, and arc
hereditary, whereas our Senators are elected
legislators. The House of Lords consists of
two archbishops and twenty-four bishops
for England, and four Protestant prelates
for Ireland. These are the "spiritual
lords," who are only lords of Parliament,
and not peers, by a decision of the House in
1672. The lords temporal are far more nu
merous, and are peers of the realm. They
consist of 23 dukes (including the Prince of
Wales and his cousins, the Duke of Cam
bridge and King of Hanover,) 19 mar
quises, 110 earls, 22 viscounts, and 209
barons. There also are 16 Scotch repre
sentative peers—elected at each new Parlia
ment—and 28 representatives of Irish peer
age, chosen for life. Many of the Scotch
and Irish nobility are not peers of Parlia
ment; and, on the other hand, many of
them, also holding English peerages, are.
Of the 457 peers entitled to sit and speak
and vote in the House of Lords, not one
twentieth usually take the trouble of attend
ing Parliament day after day. The ma
jority in that assembly is hostile to the PAL
MERSTON adMilliStratiOlL
There are 658 members in the House of
Commons. Of these, 256 are elected to
represent counties in England, Wales, Scot
land, and Ireland ; 396 represent boroughs,
and 6 represent Universities. To put it
another way, England and Wales have 500,
Scotland has 53, and Ireland has 105 mem
bers in each House of Commons. It may
lie news to some of our readers, that no mem
ber of either House of Parliament, peer or
commoner, receives the slightest payment by
Keay of salary, though, the session, - lasting
for six months, involves half a year's resi
dence in London, nor yet get one sixpence
for "mileage" or any other expense out of
pocket. It follows, therefore, that a Mart
must follow lago's advice to Roderig,o,
and put money in his purse, if he wants to
sit in Parliament. Neither can it be alleged
that he has any "outside" or "lobby"
chances%of enriching himself at the public
expense. 'To be a Parliament-man is to
have a certain station in society and before
the public which mere wealtlicannotusually
procure.
The House of Commons, which is sup
posed and which ought to represent the
people, is., on the contrary, a highly aristo
cratic body. Out of its 658 membem 814
are members of the aristocracy, (sons,
grandsons, uncles, brothers, cousins, or
marriaze connexions of peers,) 104 are
lawyers, and only 64 represent trades,
manufactures ; and arts. Tiu►t peers' rela
tives should nominally represent the coin
monalty of the land is an anomaly which
offends the British people. But unless
there be a revolution, Parliament will never
alter the system.
In the General Election, which trill be
fully under way in a few weeks from this
time, there will be contests, as far as a
very close scrutiny enables us to judge,
in 36 English counties; in 2 Welsh; in 11
Scotch ; and in 9 Irish. Also, in 66 Eng
lish boroughs ; in 1 Welsh ; in 4 Scotch ;
and in 23 Irish. Perhaps there may be
even more. Even this involves contests
for over three hundred seats, and if the old
members should be successful in half the
contests, there will be 140 new men in the
next House of Commons. It will he some
tune before these strangers are disciplined
into party subjection on either side, so
that they may be relied on to vote "the
right nay" at the gall of the MiniSterial Or
Opposition whippers-in.
PALMERSTON will be rt-elected, of course,
for the little borough of Tiverton, where at
least one member of every voter's family
has been provided for with a good life
appointment in the public service. Sir
CHARLES WOOD, who retires from the
borough of Halifax, is not quite sure of a
seat for any other place, but it is whispered
that he will be raised to the peerage, as
Baron Halifax. Mr. GLADSTONE will be
strongly opposed at Oxford University, on
account of his ultra-liberal opinions, but
will probably be returned for South Lan
cashire, and his eldest son is making a great
effort to get elected for the curious old city
of Chester. Joint BRIGHT is sure of his
seat for Birmingham, but little ROEBUCK
will be opposed at Sheffield. Lord Joux
RUSSELL, being " a belted Earl" now, need
have no fears for a parliamentary seat ; but
his eldest son, Lord AMDERLEY, a youth of
21, who, if elected, will be the smallest
sized man in the Commons, is candidate for
Leeds, having promised to vote for every
liberal and ultra-liberal question which the
electors named to him. JOHN STUART MILL
is likely to be elected for Westminster.
He has been the steady friend of this
country all through the rebellion, but
is wholly unused to public speaking,
though he Writes well, and is a politician of
the doctrinaire order—proverbially an im
practicable order of men, who split hairs
when they should boldly assert general
principles. MT. THOMAS HUGHES (author
of " Toni Brown's Schooldays," one of the
best books of modern times) is a candidate
for Lambeth, but has not very much chance
of success. Hopson, erst "the Railway
King," who was reported as ruined, but is
still worth some -Y-20,000 a year, is up
again at Sunderland, with many prospects
of being elected. In short, a great many
"chops and, changes" may be anticipated;
but the result of the General Election, we
believe, will be to give Lord PALMERSTON -
about as large a majority as he has had
in the Commons for the last three years.
It is not much of a majority, to be sure,
but it will suffice to keep hina in office—
probably until death compels him to drop
the reins of Empire.
FATAL ORNAMENTS.-01.1r local columns
chronicled, yesterday, a fatal accident
which resulted from the fall of a balcony
and its cast-iron railing, in Delaware ave
nue, below Vine street. We are sure there
is mechanical skill enough among all the
builders of our city to devise some better
plan of attaching these balconieS to build
ings. We have a personal knowledge of at
least twenty just such Damocles' swords as
the one our reporters speak of, on some
of the principal streets of our city.
They are swords of Damocles, for they
are suspended by the flimsiest of supports
just over the heads of the hundreds and
thousands who pass by on Ch estnut and
Market streets every day, with just as
much likolihood of falling as that on Dela
ware avenue. Some provision should be
made by Councils to prevent these orna
ments, or whatever they are, from being
nothing more than Pasted to the sides of the
buildings they adorn. If balconies must
be used, let them be so firmly fastened that
one who passes under or _stands upon them
may not be in constant terror.

Parson Brownlow on Returning Rebels.
(From the Knoxville Whig, sth instant. 3
Those who are in sympathy with returning
rebels are suddenly enamored of the virtues of
repentance and pardon, and no parable of the
world's history has such attractions for thorn
as the parable of the Prodigal Son. They SCOM
never to wesay in quoting this parable as ono
of unequaled beauty and pathos. It is interest
ing to note the points of difference between
the Prodigal Son and our returning rebels.
First, the Prodigal Son did not secede; he
went with his father's consent, and as the
Scriptures indicate, with his blessing. Next,
lie teeni; he did not stay and. viDify- the
Old man in his own house. Ile asked for
something to start him in the world; he
did not present a Pistol to the old man's
breast and demand his greenback's or watch.
He received the portion his father gave
him ; he did not press it—a modern South
ern name for stealing. And receiving it,
he started out "to seek his fortune." He did
not retire to the south. side of the old man's
farm, and join a band of robbers who were
plundering the Old Mall and his - law-abiding
neighbors. Receiving his portion, he quietly
took his e'ourdey into a far country. 1 many
he repented of his folly, not because the old
man whipped him into repentance, but because
be "Cause to himself," and saw that he had.
wasted his substance in riotous living. He
went back home, not with murder in his heart,
boasting how many he had killed, and threat
ening what he would do, but he. bowed down
in lionest Contrition, and asked all sorts of
pardon. He didn't return saying, "I have
fought you four years, and until I was over
powered," but he went back crying, " lather,
I have sinned against lica.ven, and in thy
sight, and am no more worthy to be
called thy son," and imploringly said, "Make
me as one of thy hired servants." He went
home, becauSe, throughout his entire course of
riol ous living, his heart was there. He did not
return demanding his "rio•hts, ,, his property
and back rents, lie did
no ask instant pardon
upon the faith of an - oath of amnesty, but
proposed to prove his repentance genuine by
his works.
The story of the Prodigal Sen is one of sin
cere, deep, heartfelt, and rohmtary repentance
for a great wrong. Do our returning rebels
come repenting of their unparalleled crimes?
As lon as rebellion showed any signs of suc
cess, did
they show any sign of repentance?
Are they coming back because they love
the Vision, or were about tO " perish with hun
her?" All who return peaceably to their
omes, cultivate friendly relations,. and air
stain from hostile acts, discountenancing every
attempt at disorder, should be met with the
same spirit, and treated with leniency. When
they manifest a hostile spirit, make them bite
the dust. -
Tim Tomb of President Lincoln.
The tomb in which the President's remains,
together with those of hislittle son, are placed,
is kept carpeted with fresh flowers ; and about,
and upon the coffin as they lie in view are gar
lands and clusters of buds and blossoms, ever
fresh and fragrant, so that the very breath of
the sepulchre is rendered redolent and pure.
Looking into the tomb the visitor can discern
nothing offensive-n 0 token of the " damp
vault's dayless gloom"--decm himself gazing
into some floral cave whose tenants are the
graces and summer nymphs.
The taste which is thus displayed in render
ing the vault attractive is most commendable,
and will brighten the recollection of everypil
grim who has here gazed upon the dead. Mr.
Willis, in addition to this, has also opened a
book npon which every visitor can register his
name and append such remarks as the scenes
may suggest to his Mind. Since the 14th of
May last some two thousand names of visitors
have thus been registered, representatives of
every State in the Union, and also the Cana
das. One hack upon every day during the
week, and two upon the Sabbath,are kept run
ning between the city and the cemetery for the
accommodation of visitors, and all this has
been done since the remains of our late Presi
dent were placed at rest in this pleasant burial
place, since Oak Ridge has held the dust of
this great man. And m making this notice we
would conclude by adding that this isnot only
to be the resting place of the President, but
there is to be erected a pile to his memory
which shall stand through all ages to come.
The rising ground immediately in the rear of
the tomb has been selected as the site of the
President's monument. Three acres upon this
beautiful spot was selected by the Monument
Association on Saturday last, and here it has
been decided to build the shaft. The beauty
and appropriateness of this Site are such as
would recommend it to the minds of all, and_
we are pleased to know so agreeable a selec
tion has been made.—Spriagileta (lii.) Journal.
The Fourth In Atlanta.
By - the military stationed in this city and its
vicinity, the day that gave birth to what is
now one of the mightiest nations of the world,
was appropriately celebrated. The troops,
composed of the td and 4th Regiments of lowa
Cavalry, and Company I of the 12th Regulars,
United States Artillery, appeared to be in fine
condition, as they marched through the streets
of our city, and were being reviewed by their
commander, General Winslow. Too much
credit cannot be bestowed upon the com
mandant of the poSt, Lieutenant Colonel
Peters, and upon Captain Saint, post Provost
Marshal, for the excellent order preserved
throughout our city durimr the parade and
formal celebration. of and nring the entire
day.
At. the courthouse the day was also coin
memorated, Mr. d. A. Stewart reading the
Declaration of Independence, portions of
Washington's Farewell Address, preceding
and following them with remarks illustrative
of the past, and giving some most excellent
advice as to the future--counselling forbear
ance among those whom past differences and
past trials had estranged. Other gentlemen,
we learn, acleezed the meeting, but, its we

Johnny has marched home again—hurrah!
and the cruel war is over. The bright star of
peace is beaming joyfully upon ma, and the hot
rays of the sun are bearing down upon us very
heavily. We are now by the sea, to see and be
seen for the next three months. Of course, we
don't charge anything for the exhibition, as wo
are all actors in the great nautical drama of
"How not to live in a cottage by the sea." The
moon is beaming on the great salt pond, and
we are sailing on its dark and deep blue

Short-eared horses are at a discount here,

Young colts abound, but they are small in

carried in a side coat-pocket.
Stars, of all kinds, are scarce, and green
backs, and all of those kinds of things, are
plenty.
We have the most perfect machine for the

The Pittsburg Post says: "There is still a
general disposition to refuse the fifty-cent
fractional currency notes, and in market espe
cially they are almost wholly repudiated. It
is all right enough to refuse doubtful or muti
lated bills, but this wholesale repudiation of
a currency which enters so largely into all
our business transactions, and of which but a
very small proportion can possibly be coun
terfeit, is neither warranted by law nor neces
sity. 'the laws of Congress make these bills a
legal tender to a Certain amount, and., unless
there is the very best reason for bell ying,
them counterfeit, or the - yard mutilated 0 I dis
figured so as to impair their value, no. on has
a right to refuse them. But the worst feature
of the movement is the readiness with which
those who object to these bills pay them
out in change themselves, whenever the
opportunity offers. A friend of ours, who,
on a late visit to the - market, bought
seine vegetables . from a huckster and 'of
fered two fifty-eent notes in payment, only
to have them indignantly: rejected as worth
nothing, yesterday received no less than
five of - these same notes in change from the
same party who but a day or two before re
fused to touch such currency under any cir
cumstances, and this is by no means an isola
ted case. It is the rule, rather than the excep
tion, that the parties who persist most stead
fastly in refusing these arc the first to pay
them out when the opportunity otters, thdugli
what their motive can he for Sue emblems-is-t
-ent course is more than we can understand.
We do know, however, that these bills are a
part of the currency of the nation, an , l, though
there may be some counterfeits among them,
they are perhaps as free from objection in this
respect as the bills of the numerous banks
which have been floating around here for the
last fifteen veers. There is, therefore, no good
reason for the crusade which has been opened
against them, and the public would do well to
give all who refuse to take them a wide
berth."
An antiquarian, in search of euriordties,
has identified the chairs used I.)y the sergeant
at-arms and doorkeeper of the Senate of Penn
sylvania, as having been once in use in the
Continental Congress. Thegentleman who
made this discovery produced marks on the
chairs which were fully satisfactory for iden
tification, and in his judgment there is no
mistake about the furniture having once been
used by the Continental Congress. These relies
of the past are the more interesting when it is
known that the State of Pennsylvania now
possesses the chair used by John Hancock as
Speaker of the Continental Congress.
highly interesting and very hiiportant
case of slander was before a Pittsburg court
on illonday. A gentleman had charged a lady
with calling him a "bastard,” and she had, ac
cordingly, been arrested. The lady averred
that the charge was false, as she had only said
lie was a "dastard." The two words are so
similar in sound that the judge decided that
he could not decide. The lady was therefore
discharged.

The present ruling of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, in relation to the basis on
which wholesale dealers should estimate their
license tax, contemplates that dealers may
estimate the amount of their sales for the year
to come on that for which license is taken,
without reference to the exact sales of the
former year of license, and that the Amount
of tax shall be determined by that estimate.
If, at the close of the year, it shall appear In
any case that the amount of actual sales has
exceeded the estimate, a reassessment will
surely be made. The receipts from internal
revenue, from the Ist to the lath, inclusive, of
the present month, amount to *9,000,000.

irregular for quotation. Several sales of bank
bills, old issue, have been made during the
past week. - e offer the following as fair
brokers' quotations Central Railroad and
Banking Company of Georgia, :10 cents; tireorgia

The London Economist says
“ The bank return to Wednesday evening
bears evidence of the increased demand for
money which has prevailed during the last
week. The reserve - of notes in the banking
denartment is £217,000 less, and the private .se
curities are £1 1 255,000 more. The total amount
of bullion is i 16,107,000, or £112,000 more than
last week. It is certain that for a few days
past the market rate has been fully up to the
bank minimum of three per cent. -It is pro
bable that the demand thus manifested may
be chiefly occasioned by the adjustment of
transactions matnring at the end of the finan
cial quarter and the commercial hats-year.
The excitement of the general election inter
feres with business, and for a few weeks for
ward it may happen that the rate of discount
will relapse into the torpid condition which
prevailed a fortnight ago. lint symptoms are
not wanting to justify the belief that the value
of money is not likely at present to fall much
lower. The demands upon the floating capital
Of the country are incessant, and the growth
of the floating capital is slow and limited,
As far as can be seen at present, the harvests
will be favorable, not only in this country but
in North America and over large parts of Eu
rope. A harvest generally favorable is always
an element of ease and strength, and an abun
dant yield in the United States this year might
go a long way to smooth the restoration of
prosperity to the States of the Union.”

Boors AND SHOES.—The Shoe and Leather Re
portcr says ; There is usually a falling or in the
shoe trade about the tint of July, and the
present year forms no exception to this
rule. So tar as sales are coieerned, the
market has been exceedingly Mulct the
past week among all classes'-of trade.
Both jobbers and manufacturers are,.how.
ever, m active preparation for fall business.
The prospect is exceeding flattering for the
following season in the shoe trade, and there
are indications of an early opening in active
sales. The cityand local trade are still buying
moderate (mantillas and a few distant shoe
traders lierve been eanvassMg the market s lint
otherwise there have been few transactions.
Jobbers are actively examining oilier markets,
and the arrivals are gradually on the increase.
Manufacturers are commencing hi earnest on
the fall styles. The market fin heavy goods is
unsettled, and prices will, doubtless, rule lower
under a decline in raw materials • children's
goods are yet ruling 'firmly, which, with had.
morals and lasting, constitute the principal
demand at present.

Pittsburg Parole Market, 4uly 13.
Business in the Oil way presented no new
feature. The demand being moderate, sates
were of a similar description. The week's re
ceipts have been limited by the river. Several
sales were made for future delivery, as parcels
iire-known to he on the way, and may arrive at
any hour.- So far as relates to prices we, have
no change to make ; figures that wore current
one week ago wooled answer on the present 0C-
CaSiOn. The receipts of Crude since our last
only reach ton lads. It wills be perceived, by
reference to the transactions below, that most
of yesterday's sales were for future delivery.
The rates were t 216.2 1 1, packages returned,
equal to ttie2634c including packages, accord

way. The sale yesterday of I,ooobbls orßinpa
reil was a mistake ; it Was 141Thbls bonded; de.'
livered in Philadelphia, at 5:04e, and so we
wrote it. - The inigtake was the printer's, not
Ours. Sales of ZOO bbls bonded, Philadelphia
