AlfXPAI, Subscription Terms (always in advance) : $1.50 
each for less tliau four copies: Four to nine copies, $1.25 
each: Ten to nineteen conies, $1.20 each: Twenty copies 
and upwards, $1 each. Papers are addressed to each name. 
They are Coming. 
Tes, 500—600—700 a day I ^Ve refer to the sub- 
scription names for premium lists. During March our 
premium canvassers have been very active aud very suc- 
cessful, and we have been sending out at a rapid rate the 
good premiums offered in the table (next column.) 
Many lists of names partly filled during December, Jan- 
uary and February, have been completed, and many new 
premium clubs have been started and part of them al- 
ready filled. The -work can go on just as well all 
through April. The supply of premiums i« un- 
limited, and almost everybody desiring it, can get one or 
more valuable articles. All that is needed to get a 
subscriber in every family, is, to show the paper, explain 
that it is the most beautifully Illustrated Paper in the 
country, aud yet published at less than half the cost of 
other Periodicals and Illustrated Journals, while its read- 
ing matter is all carefully prepared and very instructive 
and useful. It costs less than half a cent a day ! In most 
places the eggs from a single hen would pay the sub- 
scription. Each subscriber gets during the year, for only 
SI. 50, a great volume of about 450 large "pages, con- 
taining over Ten Thousand Dollars worth of original En- 
gravings, besides reading matter that costs nearly or quite 
Fifteen Thousand Dollars! In a multitude of cases re- 
ported to us, single hints in this paper have been worth 
scores of dollars, and often hundreds. 
Now, look over our premium list, choose the 
premium you would like, take a copy of the paper, sally 
out among neighbors and friends, in your own neigh- 
borhood and elsewhere (for premium clubs need not be 
all at one post-oifice), and in a brief time the desired num- 
ber of subscribers can be gathered, and the premium 
secured. A full description of the premiums will be sent 
free to any one desiring it. Any Specimen numbers, 
cards and show bills needed, will be supplied free. 
Z^W ~WQ take so much pains to procure only good 
articles in all cases, that any one securing anything fro7n 
our premium list, saves the risk usually run of getting 
poor or indifferent goods, when buying of unknown or 
irresponsible parties. Every thing we send out as a 
vreimum is guaranteed to be the best of its kind and price. 
Old and new subscribers count in premium lists. 
Our premiums arc standard articles, and enough 
can be obtained lo supply all calls for premiums for six 
months. Every canvasser can take abundant time, but 
As fast as subscriptions arc obtained, send lliem 
lilting, that the subscribers may begin to receive the 
paper ; and when ali the names that can be obtained are 
forwarded, select the premium, am! it will be promptly 
furnished. To save mistakes and keeping accounts, send 
witk each list of names, the exact subscription money. 
Bemit in Posl-Office money orders, drafts or checks on 
N. Y. City ; if Ihese can not be had, register money lellers. 
IU^r~ Every name designed for a premium list must 
be so marked when sent in. (Wc can not count others.) 
trSr" Every article offered is new and of the very best 
manufacture. Fo charge is made for packing or boring 
any of the articles in tins Premium List. The forty-

Gold has declined since our last from 140" j to 133, lead- 
ing; to corresponding depression in most financial and 
commercial values. Within the past frw days it has been 
more freely dealt in by speculative buyers at rising 
prices, thus stimulating business in other departments 
The munth under review, (February 10 to March 15,) 
opened with a dull and heavy market for nearly all kinds 
of Breads! nil's. Liberal receipts of Flour and Wheat from 
California influenced prices unfavorably, making holders 
eager to sell and buyers reluctant to purchase more than 
was necessary lo supply pressing wants. Subsequently the 
demand improved, fostered, in part, by more encouraging 
foreign news, which led to rather extensive export 
operations, especially in Corn. Prices rallied pretty 
sharply, and toward the close the tendency waS upward. 
The principal receivers evince less disposition to press 
supplies on the market, and leBa anxiety to realize at the 
ruling figures, as they generally look for the establish- 
ment of oven better rates, in view of the current light 
arrivals and the gradual absorption of the stocks availa- 
ble at. this center Provisions have been much brisker, 
and hog products firmer in price. Beef has been steady. 
Butter, Cheese and Eggs have favored buyers decidedly. 
Cotton has been more freely offered and more sought 
after at reduced quotations, closing with partially renewed 
firmness Wool has advanced Sc@6c, \> lb since the 
passage of the Wool Tariff, Bo-callcd, bul :d the Improved 
prices trade has been very moderate. ..Hay has been 
scarce and sliilly held, with a fair Inquiry, partly for ex-
