mont, and the troops are being placed on an 
extreme war footing. The military force has 
been formed into field brigade* and garrisons, 
the former being complete In themselves, and 
prepared to move at a moment’s notice. The 
commissariat and quartermaster’s departments 
and medical corps have been ordered to supply 
themselves fully with everything necessary for a 
vigorous campaign. The Provincial Fair closed 
the 2Sth clt. The weather w^s fine and the

NEW QUARTER-A TRIAL TRIP 
Bubal Nkw-Yokkek Offtck, ) 
Rochbstee, Oct. 2, XS66. > 
The grain and Sow market continues unsettled with 
an advancing tendency. This 1» probably owing to the 
uncertainty a. to the amount of damage done to the 
com crop by the early frosts and the flod* at the West, 
and the reported Injury to the grain during the harvest 
In England. In other produce the market exhibit# bnt 
little change since our last issue. Tbe variations will be 
found In tbe price current below. 
The wool trade continues comparatively Inactive.— 
Locally there Is next to nothing doing In this article. 
Prices remain unchanged C0&K. The Boston circular of 
Aabojj Ebiocsok & Co.. Sept.28th says: Ther anticipa¬ 
ted improvement in prices has not yet been realized, and 
we cannot look for any decided improvement while the 
market for goods continues so nnsatUlactory. On ell 
sides, it was believed tbat September wonld bring about 
a favorable change so far es goods were concerned, but 
the Improvement has fallen •omneb short of expectation, 
that manufacturers are very Indifferent about supplies 
oi raw material. Tbe quantity of goods sold has been 
large, bnt the prices realized have been very low, par¬ 
ticularly for tbe poorer grades, and manufacturers do 
not feel like purchasing Wool beyond immediate wants, 
when the costof producing goodscanscnrcelybe realized. 
The movements in the Boston wool market from the 
6th to the 27th nit. are Indicated by the following: Taken 
by manufacturers 3,875,000 lbs. The receipts for the same 
lime during tbe past and present years contrast as fol¬ 
lows: 
1885 Reoepts, lbs.... .4,745,100 
1366 “ " .2,980.000 
This shows a falling off, the present j eer, for tbe time 
mentioned, as compared with the last, of :,785,000 lbs. 
The higher grades of combing wools show more activity 
and prices ere well sustained, ranging from 65 to 71K cts. 
There is considerable inquiry for Canadian wool, bnt the 
difficulty of exchange retards operations in tbat direc¬ 
tion.

Indian A flair*. 
The Indian war on the plains and in the 
neighborhood of the military stations and forts 
on the various routes, is being carried on with 
great bitterness. The Indians are committing 
the most frightful atrocities. By attacking iso¬ 
lated parties and overpowering them by num¬ 
bers, they have succeeded in killing many whites. 
The N. Y. Tribune’s Leavenworth special says: 
“ Information recei^d from Forts Laramie, Reno 
and Big Horn River, states that 150 whites have 
been killed by the Indians. The road from Lar¬ 
amie to Powder River is filled with graves of 
murdered men. A whole train was murdered on 
Big Horn River. Numbers of men and women 
have also been killed near there. 
A band of Arapahoes attacked another train
