E.xiiortâ€" There were four or five loads of export iu the market, of fairly good quality. Prices, Iiowovcr are not high, foreign quotations not being particularly encouraging just now.

A Chicago despatch says: Seventeen persons, it is asserted, will be held n.>spotiSible for the Iroquois Theatre dfaa«;t -r by t'ne corocer, and com- plaints atrainst them will go to the grand jury. This was the conclusion reached at the ck>se of the s<;ssion of the inquest on Saturday.
