Gold fell to 125, rallied again to 123%. and is now 125%. 
....There has been a better inquiry for the principal 
Bread.-tuffs during a month, and holders not eager to 
realize, especially on sound flour and grain. The home 
trade have been the principal buyer? of flour and wheat, 
which lias been lield above Ihe limits of foreign orders. 
There has been a good export inquiry for Coin and Rye, 
and for Oats, for shipment to London. Unsound Wheat, 
Corn, and Oats continue to arrive most freely at Ihe sea¬ 
board. ihougii in little favor. River and lake navigation 
is now fully resumed, and the canals of this State will 
probably lie in working order by May 1st.... There has 
been more doing in ProvNions at irregular prices for hog 
products, blit at firmer rates for beef, beef hams butter, 
and cheese, the last two articles closing heavily, under 
freer arrivals. New butter is coining in pretty freely, 
and is tending downward. The eonsninplion is much 
restricted by the high rates.... Cotton has been in good 
supply and less request, middlings receded, at one time, 
to 35 a 37c., but have since rallied to SltolShc. per lb. The 
estimated stock now here is 223,(11)0 bales_The trade 
in Wool has been on a very limited scale, though prices 
have favored buyers, decidedly. The demand has been 
exclusively for manufacturing piiriioses, and lias been 
confined to small lots.... Hay and Straw have been more 
freely offered at lower oriees, luit liave not been in much 
request, save for local use_Hops and Seeds have been 
in fairdeinaiid, and generally bnoyantin price.... Tobac¬ 
co has been quiet and depressed.

Bet. Prince and Houston-sts., NEW YORK.’l 
It Is admitted by all MUSICIANS who have examined the 
C1I®KAI2 
that they combine more desirable qualities than any reed In¬ 
strument ever before made. By a combination of arrange¬ 
ments, peculiar to the CHORAL ORGAN alone, the tone 
EXCELS in fullness, purit.v, and richness, and in the gener¬ 
al mechanical arrangements of the instrument, it surpasses 
all others of Its class. 
The patent Graduated Swell is controlled entirelv by the 
feet, while blowin,g, requiring no change of position of hands 
or feet, thereby enabling tlie performer to produce all those 
beautil'ul effects for wliich the Organ is so eminently adapted. 
This SWELL is not a LOUD PEDAL onlv, but. as its name 
indicates, a SWELL, bv which you glide from the PIANIS¬ 
SIMO to the FORTISSIMO at will, or instantly change from 
one to the otlier. This is peculiar to the CHOtlAL ORtJAN. 
The voicing of the Reeds is done with the greatest care, in 
order to free them from the H.4RSHNESS often heard in 
reed instruments; and no one who listens to the CHORAL 
ORGAN but is attracted by the melodious sweetness of its 
tones. None should purchase an instrument of this class 
without first inspecting the CHORAL ORGAN at the
