The exports of specie from New York last week were 
something over *2,000,000. The gold receipts from Cali¬

Wool.— The Boston wool market during the past week 
has been very qnlct. The. current consumption Is report¬ 
ed less than neual at this season of the year. Holders, 
feeling that there is but little more to be received oflast 
year’s clip,are not very anxious to sell,and on the other 
hand manufacturers manifest but little desire to pur- 
chase. It is not probable there will be any great activity 
in the wool market an til the clip of 1367 is offered. There 
is already considerable speculation as to what prices

The Peace Conference on the Luxemburg 
question met at London the 8th; representa¬ 
tives of England, France, Prussia, Austria, Italy, 
Luxemburg, Belgium and the Netherlands, were 
present. 
Its doings are secret, bnt it is known that 
Fratiee assents to the razing and disarming of 
Luxemburg, but Prussia not, unless the Powers 
guarantee both sides from fntnre efforts to 
seize, it. England hesitates, and telegrams are 
being sent to European monarchs on the matter. 
Meanwhile both sides arearming. France is buy¬ 
ing guns in England and Spain, and Prussia is 
ready to support Luxemburg. 
A Herald dispatch from Berlin says Bismarck 
declares the situation more serious than before. 
All depends on the London Conference, and if it 
fails a general war may come on. 
It is thought Russia is looking towards Poland 
and the East, in that case, to increase her power. 
The Czar will visit Paris in June. 
Prussian demands are. menacing. Prospects 
of uniting Hungary and Croatia are popular. 
Spain lias amnestied all private soldiers en¬

Patent Brooms. —Within a few year* several patent? 
have been Issued for improved brooms. The end aimed 
at by all bos been to make a broom which could be rr- 
iicwi-d by inserting » new brush. To combine this miai- 
tty with lightness,beauty, elasticity and durability was 
difficult, and seemingly Impossible. An Ohio inventor 
conceived a plan which it was thought would answer, 
but a bra*? cap, such as lilr broom required was declared 
Impossible to make. One thought differently, a skui- 
fnl worker In brass wn>- employed who, after eight 
months study and labor, produced the cap now used on 
buyers’ Patent Broom. With the improved cap we shall 
not bo surprised if this Broom becomes popular among 
Housekeepers in city and country.

Slivers' Patent make? a very elastic and durable 
broom. When wum out the brush can be instantly re¬ 
moved and new brush Inserted in u lew moments. A few 
hills of broom corn, raised on the farm, with one of these 
heads, would insure good brooms all the time.

fired, a solid ball weighing 1,000 pounds being 
used each time. For each ol the first three

The Mason and Hamlit* Cabinet Organs.— 
The amount of musical power which these 
instruments possess, the purity arid beauty of 
their tones, and the great variety of effect which 
can be produced upon them, are remarkable, 
especially when they are compared with melo- 
deons, which instruments they are rapidly taking 
the plaee of, and must supercede entirely, as 
soon as they become known. Nearly all artists 
of note pronounce them superior to all others— 
the best instruments of their class in the world.

occasion. 
The commercial editor of the Boston Watch- 
man'and'Reflector, in a report of the Lynn shoe 
market, notices as a curious fact the difference 
in shape required by various sections, “The 
Southern ladies wear boots cut very high in the 
instep; the ladies of California and the West¬ 
ern States require a broad, wide boot, while for 
the trade of the New England cities a very nar¬ 
row, delicate-shaped boot is demanded.” 
The Compass Boxed.— East, West, North 
and South, in every direction, Pyle’6 Saleratus is 
fast superseding all others. It has more strength; 
is pure, wholesome and harmless. Ask your 
grocer for Pyle’s Saleratus. See that his name 
is on the package. 
Convention of manufacturers. 
A Convention composed principally of 
western manufacturers, was held the 8th, and 
Peter Cooper presided. A number of letters 
from prominent manufacturers and political 
economists were rend expressing a desire for an 
organization movement against free trade. 
Governor Pierpuut ol' Virginia, and Horace 
Greeley were among the speakers, and represent¬ 
atives from Massachusetts, New Hampshire, 
Vermont, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, 
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, 
Georgia, Tennessee, Illinois, Michigan and other 
States, announced their names, 
A temporary organization was effected, but 
the temper of those from a distance did not cor¬ 
respond with the New Yorkers, who wanted an 
immediate permanent association. 
The formation of a protective society in each 
village was recommended, to act in concert with 
the National League.

The financial affairs of the country are now in u favor¬ 
able condition. The last statement of the public debt is 
regarded in commercial circles as highly satisfactory. 
An exchange says:—" VVelook upon this a* the mostfav- 
orable aud encouraging statement that has been pre¬ 
sented by the Secretary of the Treasnry, for the business 
interests of the country, since the close of the war. It 
is not only a highly favorable statement, in itself, but its 
chief Importance lies in the promise which it. gives of the 
future course uf the department, Mr. McCulloch seems 
to have been forced to the conclusion that he could not 
carry out the policy which he ao unwisely announced, ol' 
destroying the enrrensy by converting a non-interest- 
bearing debt into gold bearing bonds, without so disar¬ 
ranging the business of the country as to bankrupt the 
Treasury.” 
Money is very abundant in New York, and the volume 
of currency at that point is daily increasing. Call loans 
are made at 4 ^ cent., and loans for thirty days at 5 H 
oent. Capitalists at the East, particularly in New York 
city, are turning tiller attention lo real estate. 
The earnings of the great lines of Kail Roads show 
large gains ov<v the receipts for the corresponding time 
in 1866. 
Stocks as a whole have improved considerably during 
the past week. Express stocks are active and have ad¬ 
vanced aboutlO ¥ cent, in the last ten days. 
The prospect of a favorable result of the London con¬ 
ference to arrange the European difficulties, has bad a 
favorable effect upon markets. Governments were in 
consequence considerably excited on Friday and Satnr 
day. and large purchases are reported to have been 
made by foreign bankers.
