from the Bannock Indiana In Idaho. The Cuban 
Insurgents are surrendering In considerable num¬ 
bers. Spain has now In the Island three times

If the weather permits, the Russians will at

onto the Balkans, An assault of the Servians 
upon Yatro was repulsed with immense loss. 
England has already equipments In store for at 
least two army oorps, and Is ready, If needed, to

The wholesale markets this week can be dismiss¬ 
ed with brief allusion. Holiday week, beyond a few 
specialties, is always dull, and Its observance is be¬ 
coming almost as ma-ked as it is in Europe. The 
coming month of January will find the market with 
a surplus of certain kinds of produce that should 
have moved freely during autumn und December. 
Dealers, however, have some hope that the new year 
may gnlvaniic trade though much will depend upon 
more seasonable weather than wu have bad during 
the past remarkable season.

Sales at 27 <;®28Hc. for Western and 
Wednesday, 
South Carolina, has had a relapse and Is still In a 
precarious condition. From all parts of the coun¬ 
try come reports of murders and outrages re¬ 
sulting from too much alcoholic Christmas. 
Plevna at Its surrender was a vast charnel 
house, dead and wounded heaped and festering 
together, around the city the bleaching bones ot 
those who had fallen In the numerous conflicts, 
pestilence and starvation on every side. The 
Servians, after eight hours fighting, captured Ak- 
Palanka, on Monday, together with three Krupp 
guns and a great amount of amunition and pro¬ 
visions. The Russian lines are closing fast round 
Erzeroum. France will not move from her neu¬ 
tral attitude. 
Thursday, Dec. 27.—A party of the sixth cav¬ 
alry pursued a number of Indian raiders Into 
Mexico, killed upwards of sixteen, captured 
their plunder and ponies and destroyed their 
camp. The great sensation among politicians Is 
a letter from W. E. Chandler, the New Hampshire 
member of tho National Republican Committee, 
explicitly charging that Hayes’ “Southern 
policy” is the result of a bargain made with 
Southern Democratic Congressmen during the 
electoral count. They were to refrain from op¬ 
position to Ills election In return for his conces¬ 
sion to their demands. 
Turkish prisoners from Plevna are perishing 
In large numbers from the intense cold. Thirty 
thousand Servians, with 120 guns, have Invested 
Ntsch and captured Leskovatz with a large quan¬ 
tity of cattle and provisions. The back-bone of 
the war party in Constantinople Is growing 
stlffer. 
Friday, Dec. 2S.—There are strong indications 
that the Republican Senators will be outspoken 
In their opposition to the President and his pol¬ 
icy when Congress re-assembles. 
Austria has protested against any Servian ac¬ 
tion In Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Servla has 
ordered her military authorities to refrain from 
hostilities In those provinces. Owing to the suow 
blockade there Is much difficulty to supply pro¬ 
visions to the Russian troops In Bulgaria, espec¬ 
ially at Plevna. A Turkish transport with 700 
troops has been captured by a Russian war-ves¬ 
sel lu the Bosphorus. 
Saturday, Deo. 29.—Defaulter Owen Murphy Is 
safe In Canada. It is probable that he appropri¬ 
ated $150,000, Instead of $60,000, as supposed at 
first. The extradition treaty does not cover 
breaches or trust or embezzlement, so that the 
rascal Is safe. 
Russian reinforcements just ordered, amount to 
250,000 men. Au army of tho Baltic, ao.ooo strong, 
Is being organized. Thu Czar says:—“ England 
will apparently exercise pressure upon the liberty 
or our action; but we will not consent to media¬ 
tion, and are armed agnlust Intervention.” Rus¬ 
sia has ordered 1,200 Krupp field guns. England 
Is preparing for emergencies. Severe snows and 
cold have suspended operations In Bulgaria. Os¬ 
man Pasha has arrived ac Bucharest. 
Sunday, Dec. 30.—A Judgment for nearly $400,- 
ooo for canal frauds has been gained by this 
State against Dennison and Belden of Syracuse, 
contractors. The report of Adjutant-General 
Latta of Pennsylvania, declares that the rioters 
at Pittsburg were encouraged by public senti¬ 
ment and the press. 
Turkey has appealed to Great Britain to act as 
mediator In negotiating for peace on the basis of 
the present condition ot facts. Russia claims, and 
Germany backs her up in it, that mediation un¬ 
less solicited by both belligerents amounts to 
intervention, and will be disregarded by her. 
The Servians have captured Plrot,3B miles south¬ 
east or Nlsoh, with 20 ounnon, 1,000 rules and 50 
prisoners. lu Loudon there has been a tierce 
taction fight between a party ot working-men 
favoring Turkey and another friendly to Russia; 
the latter were greatly outnumbered and dis¬ 
astrously routed—a straw 1

the future rule of the trade in extra Cold weather 
fresh. The strong prices now current for lluest 
State will oerluinly help some of the hitherto ne¬ 
glected lines. A very large class or New York con¬ 
sumer* cannot afford to pay a profit upon 30® .;,c. 
bought butter. Fine Western factory and dairy 
butter Is scarce. We ure accustomed to more regu 
lux receipts »l ibis season ; prolonged pasturage lias 
kept down quality. Exporters are doing compara¬

dragging on the market. Rolls have a wider range,
