They are Coming. 
Yes, 500 — GOO — 700 a day ! Wo refer to the sub¬ 
scription names for premium lists. During March our 
premium canvassers have been verj- active and very fue- 
eei^ful, and wo have been sending out at a rapid rate the 
good premiums offered in the table (next column.) 
Many lists of names partly flilcd during December, Jan¬ 
uary and February, have been completed, and many new 
premium clubs have been started and part of Uiem al¬ 
ready filled. The work can go on just as well all 
tlirou:;li .V|>rll. The supply of premiums is 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 bcantlfhlly Illustrated Paper In the 
country, and yet published at less than half the cost of 
otlier P. rialicals 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 
$1.50, a great volume of about -i.'iO largo pages, con¬ 
taining over Ten Thousand Dollars tcorth of original En- 
yratingt, besides reading matter that costs nearly or quite 
Fifteen Thousand Dollars.' In a multitude of cases re¬ 
ported to ns, single hints In this paper have been worth 
scores of dollars, and often hundreds. 
• 2\o\v, look over our premium list, clumse the 
premium you would like, take a copy of the paper, sally 
out among neighbors and friends, in your own neigh¬ 
borhood and elsewhere (Jor premium clubs need not be 
all at one poet-qglce), 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 ntimlHirs, 
cards and show bills needed, will be supplied free. 
Wo take so -murh pntns to procure only good 
articles in all cases, that any one securing anything from 
our premium list, saves the risk usually run of getting 
poor or indifferent goods, when buying of unknown or 
irresponsible parlies. Every thing we send out as a 
vremiiim is guaranteed to be the best of its kind and price. 
Old and new subscribers count in premium list.s. 
Our premiums arc standard articles, and enough 
can t)e obtained to supply all calls for premiums for six 
months. Every canvasser can take abundant time, but 
As fast as subscriptions are obtained, send tiieni 
along, th.at the su!)scrll>crs may begin to receive the 
paper; and when all the names that can be obtained are 
forwardcl, select the premium, and it will be promptly 
furnished. To save mistakes and keeping .accounts, send 
with each list of names, the exact subscription money. 
Ilemlt In Posl-Office money orders, drafts or checks on 
N. Y. City ; if tlicse can not be had, register money letters. 
HP* Every name designed for a premium list must 
be so marked wilE>( sent in. (We can notc.ount otiicrs.) 
1"^ Every article offered is new and of the very best 
manufacture. .Vo charge is made for packing or boxing 
any of the articles in this Premium List. The forty- 
three Premiums, Mom. 1, 2^ G, and from 29 to 32^ 
and from -10 to 7 5 inclusive, will each be delivered 
FREE of all charges, by mail or express, (at the Post- 
Office or express office nearest recipient), to any place in

Gold has declined since onr last from 140^^ to 133, lead- 
in" to corresponding depression in most flnauci.al and 
commercial values. Within the past few days it has been 
more freely dealt in by speculative buyers at rising 
prices, thus stimulating business in other departments.. .. 
The month under revieiv, (February 10 to March la,) 
opened with a dull and heavy market for neariy all kinds 
of Breadstuffs. Liberal receipts of Flour and W heat from 
California Infiuenced prices unfavorably, making holders 
ea"er to sell and buyers reluctant to purchase more than 
was necessary to supply pressing wants. Subsequently Hie 
demand improved, fostered, in part, by more encouraging 
foreign news, which led to rather extensive export 
operations, especially in Com. Prices rallied pretty 
sharply, and toward the close the tendency ivas upnard. 
The principal receivers evince less disposition to press 
supplies on the market, and less anxiety to realize at th^e 
ruling figures, as they generaliy look for the establish 
ment of even better rates, in view of the cm rent 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 steadj. 
Butter, Cheese and Eggs have favored buyers decidedly 
Cotton has been more freely ofTered and more sought 
after at reduced quotations, closing with partially renewed 
firmness Wool has advanced 2c.(g)5c. ^ ft since the 
nassa"c of the Wool Tariff, so-.called, hut at the improved 
prices” trade has been very moderate... .Hay has been
