went in light weights was comparatively covering the advance, but heavy grades are up a as compared with the lowest point of last week. The greater appreciation in heavy hogs ta due to the presence of packers, and to the increased quirements of the Boston, Philadelphia, and CleVeland markets. The difference between tile market value of light and heavy grades is now less than at any previous period within the past six months, the fIrrney selling to-day at 4.10 4.35, and the utter at As to the course of prices during the iinds there is as usual a diversity of opinions, though' majority seem to entertain the bedef that prices wid rule materially higher at the close than at the opening of the season. This opinion is based upon the knowledge that over a wide territory the corn crop wm cusly injured by the eirly frost, and as this corn must be fed out as rapidly ea poesilde in order to de. rive any benefit from it.

it is believed that the grsat bulk of the bog crop of the season of 1873-'74 will Da marketed long before the season is half over. To-day there wad a good degree of activity both ma local and shipping accounts and the market wad nem from the opening to the close. The supply, inciudinv the wale hogs, amounted to only about 10,000 bead. Ey midday this number was well nigh disposed of, a by the middle of the afternoon everythirg had beea picked up and closing prices showed a trifling adyanes on thedmicea current early in the day.

Even to the soles of their boots their freshness 'thine; and their movement and manner seem to be as fresh as their clothes. The fact that they are universally recognized always annoye them, and provokes their, constant endeavor to appear like old married folks. Wouldn't it be well, under the circuristaaices, to enzage persoos to practice matrimonial ways for some months before they fairly put on the nuptial noose If they would call each other Mr. and Mrs. Jones, wear garments that had somewhat been used, and show supreme indifference to one another, perhaps they might succeed in imposing on tie public.

But, so long as they indulge in "Dear" and "Darliug," and in Etat tlingly-new clothes, and look like idiots generally, they must be detected for what they are. A Parsee from Bombay, recently arrived here, says that what most impresses him in the country is the energy of the people, and the beauty and independence of the women. One of William Cullen Bryant's daily habits is to have the Evening Post reita to him, after dinner, from beginning to end, to see if he approves of ite conteets. This may account for the old gentleman's early retiremeA and long and undisturbed repose.

It is remarkable that actors dislike someof the parts in which they are most popula? though the reason may be that they grow tired of endless repetition. Edwin Booth is reported to detest Richard 111. Sothern is similarly affected by Dundreary Slaggie Mitchell by Fanchon Jef- ferson by Van Winkle. and Edwin Adams by Enoch Arden.

Henry Ward Beecher is about to sell his country-place near Peekskill, it is said, on account of his inability to escape the hay-fever when spending the summer there. An artist in the city has made mute a little fortune by painting homely and erderly women so as to appear handsome and young, and he is regarded by them, in consequence, as the first of portrait-painters.

Let all those fair dames and who I 1 bad counted upon a few weelia' bopping in the Faeldou-Emporium of the WorM console themselves if, on aecannt cl the panie, and because Faterfamillas his puree-etriegs and Pays Hard times," they cannot buy bonnets, diessee, and gloves in leaditifel Paris. Why go to Paris when Faris comes to y3u To be eure, change is delightful, and the gay, wicked Capital of the World is a very charming place but then, if you can't go, you can't, and so try and be thankful that, in the intereets of business, ()there have been there, have raneacked tha Magasins des Modes, awl leave brought back its gems of artietic taste to grace the most beautiful women in the world, tor all nations accefle that the American girl in her beauty, when raised under glass, when eared for by a careful gardener, that shall prevent the bloom being brushed from her rare loveliness, the fragrance spoiled, the petals crushed, is the loveliest of all Nature's creatioee. Nor does she fade now as soon as she did. She is learning as a matron the value of herself, and is worth all the taste that true art, eau bestow on her.

First, thou, the liEtiTMC VISION OF ZONNETS bursts upon her view, and he is entranced. Miss Ilaut-ton is eatistied. No uee of talking of home-made millinery now, for thee fearful and wonderful etracturtle can only be the result of years of celtare upon that one subject. Caste was never mere strongly marked than in the bonnets of the present season. They are ItTRACLES OF INYENTICYg, inspirationm of genius, the fancy of an epic poet with the coloring of a Turner.

They are not light trifles of the brain they are by no means Mantles, polonaises, redingotee, vaccines, jack-eta, compoeitee, idealized. A looping here, a few folds there a fall of lace, a knot of ribbon, a quaint hood, a simulated eleeve, buttons, claape, make thee plain, matter-of-fact names into etudiee, luto realized visions. Madame la Modiste in Paris goes to aleep. Phautoma clad in graeefal- pass before her in her dreams. Her busy brain at work, awl untianuneled by conventional rubes which beeet her waking hours, coujures up effect that are wonderful.

She wakes, he reinembera. realizea, he perfects. But what are these beautiful over-garmeets It is rather a hard teak to describe the indescribable, lei our words cau be no more thau Entee A velvet-and-silk jacket for wear is an elaboration of the Engliell walkieg-jacket. It is really a long jacket of silk, with a eliorter one over it. with silk aleevea tied velvet caffe, and is trimmed with jet but-tone.

A beautiful mantle with a poieted hood loeped in the back, and so fitted aa to give it the appearauce of a elightly bouffant polouaise, 'lide the fronta are like a mantle. This ia trimmed with very fine guipure and jet galloon. Jet is again need on everything, but in trimmings and embroidery rather than in the elaborate ortiamenta which have hitherto obtained. Talmas are ellown, and modified Dolulante beautifully trimmed but perhaps TILE MOST ELABORATE GARMENTS are in the larger claes which are for full carriage-drees in cold weather. Thee also are trimmed with lace, some in guipure and others hi Chautilly.

Jets also ornament these, and those in pointed galloons, eutarely covered with the glittering poiuts, are very handeome. Some French garments have a woven Spanieh-lace trimming, with the jets woven in; but there is a fine quality, that ia wrought by hand, which is more durable. but aleo very expensive. Among the most noticeable of these garments is a long, elegant polonaiee of velvet, with the aides differently having a broad facing of bilk fitetened Lack with passemeutere buttons, while the other bide is cut seemingly in a long point, awl turned up to the waist to allow the bilk facing. Made in silk and faced with velvet, se) ita to reverse the order, it would be a beautiful garment ao an overdreem for a Laudeome Bilk suit.

Its loopings it is imposeible to describe. They are the reoult of French ekill, and are not to be lightly spoken of. Do not hope to copy them they are only to be produced after yeare of devoting oneeelf to such subjecta PRETTY SLEEVELESS JACRETS of quilted satin are charming for home-wear. They have the tiniest imaginable pockets, that would be the delight of young Mademoieelle when she has her firet real pocket. The same in black, with sleeves, will beused for carriage-wear, and also in extreme cold weather ea a protection under other, heavier garmeuts.

ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE OF TRAM a moderate movement, but more largely for December than heretofore, all the new deals being for that month, and there was lees dispoeition than yesterday on the part of shorts to settle up November trades. That interest have tilled in liberally for two or three davs past, apparently afraid that there will be a scarcity of wheat here at the end of the month, which may result in a squeeze to time who have not tilled in betimes. The more nervous ones have already settled -ep, and the rest seem dispoted to wait for a day or two, in anticipation that the shipping movement will eatie up, and let down prices in their favor.

The receipts were more liberal to-day, but were exceeded by the shipments, and our etocks are now reduced to about 575,009 btt, of which only a small proportion is No. 2.

Corn was moderately active, but wee again neatly 3ic lower on the average a fact which was due to an advance in lake freighte, and an easier feeling reported from Europe. There was a fair demand for shipment, consequent upon continued low freights, which are being taken advantage of as far as is possible without running the market up against buyers. The inquiry in this direction was to good to-day, relatively, as to make the premium on November deliveries entirely disappear at one time. Of course shippers do not want November corn, as it could not be sent through the canal, and the speculative demand, especially for next mouth, is not sufficient to subtaia it, with the prospect of full receipts aeainmt reduced shipments. When, however, the shipping demand died out, near the close, the premium on November again widened to Nc, ae no one wanted to buy regular corn for carrying.

The bueiness of the banks is slowly but surely becoming systematized, though unquestioaably on a somewhat different basis than before the pauic.

The banks are till running much stronger in currency than they ever did before, and, though they have stopped the contraction of their loans and are gradually increasing their discounts in proportion to the increase of their deposits, there is a heavy demand yet for money that is not met. The banks will, of course, gradually expand, but it will probably be a long while before they will venture to expand to the extent prevalent before the panic hence there is a great need of more bank capital in this city. 'Ile opportunity for new banks with large capital wad never co good. New York exchange contitmee very scarce. and is in demand betweeu banks at 50c per $1,000 premium.

Grain bide are taken at 3-is to of 1 Per cent diecount. The ecareity of exchange made againet shipments of produee is still causing a moderato Bow of currency from this city to New York, and, unees the movement of produce, Loge, and cattle increaties, the effect will FOOD be to make money tighter and deprese the prices of products. In the open market there seems to be more motley offered, but the rates demanded are as stiff as they were two weeks ago. The best business paper sells at to 2 per cent per month, and even luaue oil the very beet collaterale caunot be had for less than 13i per cent per month. Silver coins begin to anpear in circulation throughout the city.

The First National bank paid out several thousand dollars to-day to its regular customers. If the National Treaeury will pay out iee00.000 to Fe3d0.000 silver a week, le intimated in tho Washington dispatches today, it will continue to circulate at par, even if gold should temporarily go above even 110 in currency. The legal-tender value of silver half-dollars is so Leech greater than their commercial value as bullion, that if once put into the form of legal-tender the silver will continue to circulate even if greenbacks should be again temporarily depreciated as low as 93 cents in gold on the dollar.

The leading produce markets were rather slow to-clay, except in corn, and even that displayed no great activity. Prices in the principal cereals, and in provisions, averaged a shade easier, and the shipping movement was quiet, as nenal tithe last day of the week.

The season of navigation is not over, but the forward movement in grain is not eqnal to the vessel-supply, and 20 vemeels, aggregating a capacity of 517,000 bu, are reported to be laid up in this port, while the low rates by lake prevent anything like activity by raiL The domeetic dry-goods market wile reaeonably active, local retailers se we'll as the interior teed ordering with fair liberality. l'rices were again reported unchangeg, and, so far as etandard brands and seasonable goods generally were concerned, the feeling developed was one of firmness. Stocks are in good shape, and are held with confidence. There was but Blight change in the general features of the grocery market. Bileihetie, though by no means brisk, was fatly up to all reasonable expectations, and previous quotation were tolerably well sustained.

rice being the only notable exception, the different brands being reduced 30. In coffees comparatively little is doing, the continued high pricee operating to check consumption, but, as stocks throughout the country are light, and largely in speculative hande, the market remains strong. Sugars, syrups, and molasees are in fair demand, but under full ruppliee. holders are by no means firm in their views. Teas are moving with fair liberality at rather firmer pricee, In the butter and cheeee market the changee were unimportant, the former ruling quiet and eaev, while the latter met with a good demand at full rate.

Coal sold at e10.00 for Lackawanna at 9.50 for Erie and Walnut Hill, and at e6.00 for Wilmington. Bagging remains quiet and easy at 3734c for Stark 85c for Lewiteton, and at 32.ie for American and Amoskeag. There was only a moderate amount of trading in the fell, canned goods, and dried fruit marketg and values were not subject to any decided fluctuations. Hay continues dull. Aside from meeting the wants of local consumers there is no considerable movement, shippers still being out of the market.

Hides and leather remain quiet and easy. Oils were moving on a liberal scale at unchanged end generally eteady prices, the only notable exceptious being linseed and lard oils, both of which were easy, in sympathy with tie raw materials. At the lumber yards a fair movement was reported in the common grades, the demand being chiefly from the interior. The wholesale market was very quiet, there being but few cargoes offering and little inquiry. Building materials were generally quiet and unchanged in price, though cements are pretty fair request, and Louisville is firm, owing to scargg'gy.

The weak and unsettled conditiou of thor-inarket for metals and Wailers' stock has to-day resaltel in a decline in nearly all the articles mentioned. Tin plate is S1.00 lower per box, sheet zinc and elmet iron rs'e lower. Wire and copper-bottoms are also lower. Iron and steel were in moderate demand. The quoted rates are generally maintained, unless it be for large lots, when slight coneeesions tire made.

The wool, broom corn, seed, and hop markets were rather quiet. Timothy seed was easy at 2.004'2.65, clover at e550, and flax at 1.00011.65. Apples. grapes, and quinces were in good demand arid firm. Other greeu fruits were Eteady.

The demand for potatoes continaes active, and, with atively moderate offerings, the market wale tirm at a further advance. There was a fair inquiry for poultry and game at about Friday's range of prices. Eggs continue scarce and firm at 19 22e. Ilighwines were dull and a shade easier, though not quotably lower, the only sale, of 50 brie, being made at tide per gallon. Our market cloeed with, firm holders at 90e, though New York was quoted lower, at 93e.

About 3,200 brie of alcohol 'have been manufactured Lee during the past week for export to Europe which has left little room for the production of highwines, and they are, therefore, scarce, the offerings being very light. Lake freighte were quiet, but stronger, he further advasce being effected on the low vessels takena rise which probably caused some 'shippers to hold off. Rates were 5Vie6c for corn to Buffalo, and 6J7c for wheat to do, both by sail, the market closing with firm hold-ere at the outside. Steam to Buffalo was quoted at 7c, and 8e asked. Corn to Oswego was taken at 103c.

A total of 6 charters was reported, which will carry out 42,000 bu wheat, 103,000 bu corn, and AGA bu barley. Provisions were rather more active and steadier than on any preceding day of the week, though the market was still slightly tinged with weaknees, as the demand which should caery off the products of an active packing eetteou has not yet made its appearance. To-day there was some demand, but it was not equal to the volume of offerings, and those offerings would have been much more numerous bad there been any prospect of effecting sales at current quotations. Mess pork was a shade easier, future means dull; and lard and meats for present delivery were steady. So far, about 21,000 hogs have been cut in this city since the cold weatner eet in.

and one house has commenced operations in Milwaukee, while two or three country points have reported that work will begin with the coming week.

Clay lin Grand I artne Hotel, and ut depots. from Our Own Correspondent. NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 1873. One of the most remarkable gatherings of the year was the Woman's Congress, which adjourned at the close of last week.

The call for the Congress was signed by nearly 200 of the best-known and ablest women, represeuting every profession and every branch of industry. from all parte of the Republic. The object of the Association is for the general advancement of the sex, and the body is ably represented by ouch women se the Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell, Dr. Mary Safford Blake (late of Chicago), Pliebe W.

Cozzens, Mrs. Ralph Waldo Emerson, Frances D. Gage, Julia Ward Howe, Mary A. Livermore (formerly of Chicago), Prof. Marla Mitchell (of Vassar College), and Frances E.

Willard (Preeident of the Womeu's College of the Univereity of Illinois). TILE WOMEN IN cortscrn. I attended several of the sessions at the Union League Theatre, and was particularlyimpreseed, not only by the excellence of the papers read and the addreeees made, but by the personal comeliness, grace, and elegant attire of the essayieta and speakers. I should not refer to the latter, were it not common for ordinary men to coneinter intellectual and progressive women as homely, awkward, and dowdy, and to intimate that most of their strong-mindedness arises from their unattraetivenees. The Association is composed of Conservatives as well as Eadicads, and the papers read and diecussedsuch as The Inviolate Homestead," Enlightened Motherhood," The Household Co-education of the Sexes," and.

indeed, Woman in all the relatioDs of life--could not have been more thoughtfully and impartially treated by the beet of our public men. The deliberations were so temperate, and altogether in so good taste, that they cannot fail to have a very good influence, and to help women to the higher plane to which they aspire. The Woman's Congress has clearly shown of what women are capable, by bringing many of the best an nobleet, to the front, and by silencing Fatira by an overwhelming mauifeetation of talent, judgment. and character. A NOTICEAELE FEATURE WAS the apecarance on the platform of Maria Jordan Weetmorelaud, a Southerner, ft niece of the late Howell Cobb, of Georgia.

Everybody knows how entirely conservative the south has always been to women. and how vieiently oppoaed to their eocial and pecuniary indeenudence. Westmorland laid particular stress on this eaying that the Southern women had been victims of false education, and were just beeinning to discover the need of providing for their owu future. She hoped that Mrs. Stanton, Mrs.

Livermore, and other ladies of their ability and kind would go South, and lecture to their unenlightened sieers on the requirements of the time and the duties of the hear. Ilia position taken and the views expreased Ly a woman of so prominent a fatally and e.a higUly connected as Mrs. W. indicate a new era in the section from which she comes, and speak moet fa-vet ally of its development. What women are to do, and how they are to do it, is one of the great queetions of the day and the Association for tile Advaneement of Women is a direct and practical mode of answering the queetion.

THE GREAT WOMAN-NOVELIST. This subject reminds me of a private letter recently received from London reepect George Eliot, whose maiden name was Marian Evans, and who is now the wife of George Henry Lewes. is regarded over there as she is here, as the dret of living Englieh novel-Lee. Though plain, she is not positively homely. as is generally represented, and her face, when animated by conversation, is said to be handsome.

Her figure is good, her bearing graceful. and her manners elegant. Very elly by nature, and rendered more so by the peculiar circumstances of her marriage, she is averse to meeting strangers, and is usually very ieserved and silent in company, unlese it be composed of her intimates. Her friends almost worship her; and those) who have met her on familiar terms invariably speak of her as charming. When freed trom restraint, when the ice is melted between her and her visitors, she talks with wonderful ease and eloquence.

Unlike many gifted persons, she does not monopolize the conversation. but draws others out by her sepeible sympathy with and interest in them. Not a few of her admirers think that her speech is even superior to her written thought. and say that no one can fully appreciate George Eliot until he has heard her talk. On her manuscript she toils tremendously, working on an average six hours a day, and rarely aecompliehing in that tone more than 300 or 4O0 words.

Her labors are so exhaustive that she devotes all the rematnder of the time to recreation and rest. has been urged to abandon literary labors for the benefit of her health but she is unwilling to do so, deelaileg she could not live without writing that writing. more than aught else, constitutes her truest life. She is exceedinfily ambitious and, conscious that she has a vast reputation to sustain, she is Conetantly striving to surpass her previous efforts. Eminent as she is as a novelist, her dearest desire is to be a great poet.

Poetry, indeed, she considers her forte, and her dlealpointment at the reception of the Spanish Gyoey," on which she bad hoped to rest her fame, was of the deepeet and bitterest kind. She regards her stories as altogether inferior to her poetry. and is astonished that the public can hold a different opiniou. The extraordinary success of Middlemarch delights her, for she admite that it, is her best prose work, and it is rare that the judgment of an author upon his or her labor is thoroughly indorsed by the reader. George Eliot's books have been very profitable.

She has published nine or ten volumes, and received for them nearly 150.000, having been paid outright for "Sliddlemarch alone. It is aemerted that she is now engaged upon still another novel, which she expects tube her chel-d'teuvre, and which will not be finished, probably, bolore 1a75. THE FEW-ITS OF arTuoasuip. Nothing more clearly indicates tile general ignorance respecting the profits of authorship than the paragraphs circulated on this subject, and commonly believed. You have seen it frequently mentioned that the heirs of the late William 11.

Seward had received SS1.461 copvrisht on hie Travels Around the World for Clie'Six months ending the 1st of last August. Tile highest royalty usually paid by publishers is 10 per cent. Suppoeing the Appletons 1110M ed the author 30 cents a is likely to be quite as much as the truth woild would yield 30.000 for loosjoil voluthes. or would require newly volumes to make up the sum named The idea of such a sale for such a book in stich a time is simply prepoeterons. Mark Twain's Innocents Abroad," one of the most popular books ever printed, did not begin to reach a sale of 100,009 copies in six months.

and it had all the advantages of the machinery and pub of the princ.pal enbecription-honee in Hartford. If SewarTe heirs have hft'l thus far from his Travels, they have been particularly lucky. i Lure. I -------ss Vail and Express 7 iito a. m.

Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania contribute all the COMMOU and medium cattle that may be required to eatiety the consumptive wants of the Eastern malts.

Feeders, packers, and local butchers have been in good attendance and have of-erated with fair liberally, but the combined demand from these sources did not prove sufficient to absorb one-half the Purply, not fewer than 7,0011 head of common and medium grades remaining in the yards unsold at the close of trade this evening. There has been a steadily fair inquiry for choice to extra steers, suitable for the New leek, Aleeny, and Boston markets, and the few bunches offerei from day to day were readily dieposed of at relatively good prices, or at t5.276.f.10 for fully-matured, finely-latted steers of from 1,350 to 1,550 Its avelagea Sales at over $5.50. however, were extremely rare, the purchases of 'shippers being chiefly at ea.00,a4.00 for Texan steers, tend 5.00 for common to rely good natives.

The number of outside buyers in attendance was noticeably large, New York, Boston, Providence, New Haven, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Buffalo, and Montreal being represented in the list, so that, notwithstanding the abeence of any very considerable demand from packers, the daily arrivals did not prove excessive, and a gradual appreciation in values was witmeseed.

This is the season tor connubial couples to visit the Metropolis on wedding-tours. and are seen in numbers every day at the Broadway hotels. Their incipient matrimonial condition can be tktected at a glance, and at the huwest range.

Inasmuch as marriage is in the way of Nature, and in accordance with time-honored custom. I cannot imagine why those who enter into it should appear so awkward and ridiculous. Newly-wedded pairs are among the absurdest of creatures. They sern so utterly eilly, so unconquerably spoony, that they never flash across my vision without exciting my profoundest pity. All their attempts to conceal their state, of which they are sincerely ashamed, only result in their rendering it ludicrously conspicuous.

Every servant, porter, bell-boy. and boot-black in and about a hotel knows that they are novices in matrimony, and never refrains' from smiling significantly as they go by. One of the distinguished marks of the by-menial victims is their comp lcto of character alone, but of Oct. 18, Oct. 25.
