The sums paid for cable messages by the English 
Press for a year amount to a total of $7,000, against 
$70,000 paid by the American Press. The London 
papers only give the briefest telegraphic items, and 
never publish the long cable dispatches on public 
affairs that are common with the leading journals of 
this country. 
The Cheyenne Ledger states that the Union Pacific 
RR. Co. is about to elect hotels, ranging in cost from

The News farther adds, with seeming inconsist¬ 
ency “ There is nothing in the general principle of 
the bill for England to deny or oppose. Irishmen 
who have taken outlheir naturalization papers in 
the United States, may properly use American pass¬ 
ports while traveling in Europe, or serve in armies 
of the United States even against Great Britain. So 
long as their new citizenship 16 a bona fide qualifica¬ 
tion made in accordance with American naturaliza¬ 
tion laws, nothing can be said.” 
The Times even accepts the rule that a natural¬ 
ized citizen of the United States may c me to Eng¬ 
land with impunity, after plotting against the Queen 
in America, if he comes peaceably.

Rochestxb, August 4, 1*68. ( 
There Is nothing worthy- of note In onr local financial af¬ 
fairs. With money abundant aud easy, both at the West and 
the East, dullness prevail in the Interior. The New York 
papers of Saturday evening, say that last week Closed with 
an abundance of money offering at :\--i per cent, on call. 
Prime paper Is discounted at t'i@7 V cent. Foreign exchange 
Is less flrtn. 
The last Chicago Republican says the demand ior money is 
tight at that point, and “the supply of unemployed capital 
continues as large as ever,” The Cincinnati Gazette c«f Sat¬ 
urday, notices thus:—“A large amount of currency is still 
laying Idle, although there Is some improvement m the de¬ 
mand for money, fur leiiltlmate commercial purposes.” 
Gold sold yesterday- at 145R, It steadily though slowly ad¬ 
vanced last week. 
Wheat axi> Floub.—T he Eastern wheat and flour market 
Is unsettled. Toward the close of the week prices iuNew 
Y T ork and Boston rather advanced. The reports hi regurd to 
the crop of wheat are on the whole quite favorable. The 
wheat of the new crop sent to market, front the Southwest¬ 
ern StateB thus fnr is not reported as first quality. It will be 
two or three weeksyet before the market will become settled. 
Wool.— Tlie Eastern market is quite active. The sales In 
Boston last week foot np 1.700.C00 lbs. at a range or 40@48)zt\ 
lor fleece, and M5@52.Hc. for the various grades of pulled- 
The receipts at Boston have recently been quite large. 
Local Market.— Flour of the higher grades has receded 
fifty cents on the barrel since Inst week. Other grades un. 
changed. Wheat, corn and oats are without quotable 
change. Rye is lower, a deeline of t wenty-flve cents on the 
bushel. There areno sales of barley or hops, which urc nom¬ 
inal at quotations. Old potatoes ire pretty much out of the 
market; new ones are lower and in fair supply. Onions 
have appeared tn market again and are declining tn price. 
Dairy products arc without quotable change. 
Wool.— The receipts of wool are remarkably small and the 
market still dull. There is more doing in the country towns 
but even there transaction# are comparatively small. At. the’ 
West, especially In Michigan, then: is more doing, though 
sales are quite limited. They nrc paying generally at the 
West a trifle more per pound than in this section.
