L. Bowes & Bro. the fol lowing remarks with regard to markets abroad to show tho remarkable strength of them, particularly as regirds fine qualities, under date of Liverpool, March 10. Confidence is reviving in business circles under the inspirit ing inuueiice oi miguiiicenc spring weather, Boston Wool Market. COMMERCIAL. Thursday, April 13, 18S2. The weather continues favorable, and far men are pushing their work vigorously. All the indications uro a proiniso fur good crops, both east ami west of tho Cascades, Mr. Msthiot, of Walla Walla, formorly of French Prairie, says farmers in the upper country generally Boom satisfied with their prospect, .The wluW saw mora rain than usual, and there have been recent rains to render al most certain tho prospect for good yield. Tbeir grain is all iu, and half of it so advanc.d that it will till perfectly in any caso, and one good shower in early May will mako all of it plump ana good. I eopio, east ol tho moun tains, eeom to think their climate grows more fsvorablo to grain farming, as cultivating tho (oil seems to result in more regular rainfall. California also has hadApriUhouers.andthcy claim that their harvest is suro to bo good. East of the Cascades they anticipate having 25 per cent, more wheat surplus for 18S2, than thty had in 1881, This valley will probably turn out aa iiiujIi as last ) ear. During tho week there has been no new ar rival, save ono small vessel that was off tho lur, that came in. There aro two more ships now otT the bar, and thoso will mako 7 voisels seeking cargo. They demaud tiOs per ton, but there haru been no eharteis mado in a Week, Tlio exporters offer 62s (Id. Sib'Oii, Church A Co. say they havo news that a cargo that sold Tuesday in England, brought $1 50 per ton less th.ui ono sold tho week previous; prices are weaker, as a cousc quv'nco. Tho curreut.ilguru fur wheat heie is It 02 J per cental, a tntl.i less than last uctk, Mr. R. C. tieer was telling at Salem, last Thursday, that he soht bis wheat from his Lome bin to tho lower nulls at Salem, so that jt netted him bit cents, t lulu tho current rates are 82 cents at jalvm. Proliably any farmer who has wheat on hand ran do better now with local mills, that need wheat to grind for their regular trade, than with expoitcrs, but there cannot bo much wheat remaining in first hands. In all important respects our local markets remain without chaugo from last week. Our price ourient represents th statu of trade. Spring upoui with uuususl activity iu all branches ol trade. Railroad buildut? is pushed in every direction, and if work shall not progress as rapidly as has U-en promised, t will ouly be because labor cannot be had to push it. We quote freely from New York and San Francisco commercial papers, giving impor tant market particulars. The wool iparkct holds up fairly. Wool grower have a certainty that their great sta ble will command a good price. Attention is callvi to our quotations for furs. Hound lots cau be sold for an advance pn these rate wlieu brought to this city and the dealers niaile to bid up. There doc mot term to be as much activity at last jvar Bostov, April 11. Tliero is no improve ment in tho wool market. Tho demand in moderate and prices arc unsatisfactory. Ohio and Pennsylvania, 4243o for X and XX, with choice selections at 4445c; for Michi gan and Wisconsin florces, 40 tic for X, and in moderate demand. No. 1 fleeces range from 4540o for Michigan and Ohio. Delaine and combing selections aro quiet, with sales at 44a 48u for tine. Unwashed fleeces aro in modern'e dtmand at 25a30c for fine, and 30a35o for for i inn, includii a choice selections. California wool is dull and sales aro unimportant. Stock is mostly of low ami defect lvo wools, for which thoro ii very little demand. Liverpool Breadstuff's Market.

California Crops and Markets. From (lie bin Krumtan Coniinirilal Herald. Tlio wcatlur contimns propitious in every way for a favorable outcome for tho next har vest, and (his means everything in a financial point of view to all tho industrial, mechani cal and commercial put suits of the whole coast.

Inquiiics by intending immi grant; aro on tho increaso, showing tint our State is gaining wider and nioro favorable no ticu than for years past. Since tlio dry, heated term of last week we havo had an equal quantity of moist, cool weather the past few days, and although we have had but little raiu horo in the city, many dry sections inland ha e been favored with heavy April showers, carrying joy and llladutss to tlio husbandman, giving, as it uoes, renewed assurance oi nountilul crops the coining seuson. Tho free arrival of deep water ships the past few days, with lessened freight rates, occasions a good, steady export demand for No. 1 White Wheat, upon the liasis of Jl UO per cental. At this writing there are 24 ships iu the stream loaded with wheat and watting for crows. Some will prob ably secure men out of recent arrivals, but many will bo dotained for weeks, as it will take upwards of 300 men to cou.pleto their complement. The seaicity of seamen has been ii serious drawcack 1 1 mtr grain-ladcncd licet for some time past, and operates prejudicially to tho trade. During the month of March, 18S2, 41 ves sels cleared fiom hero for Europe, taking 1.743,017 centals of who it and 42,672 barrels of flour for China and Pacific norts.

The arrivals of deen water vessels durim? tlio week havo been quite nnmeroiis, adding liberally to our disengaged fleet, now exceed ing 28,000 registered tons; livund here, to arrive within tho next live months 210,000 tons, agaiust 237,000 tons a year ago, and 100,000 tuns same d4te in lh$0. Sowral of the ships at hand come in with previous graiu charters alwve current rates. Wo quote spot charters nominal at 57s iMGOa lor wood and iron respectively. These uro asking lates, while shippers offer 2s 0d le. It seems rather early in the season for one to dispose of the next grain crop, but the Sut ter hrwr is authority for the statemeut that a farmer named Cale, in that county, has en gaged his growing crop oi w heat and barley at l 50 per cental lor tho former, and $1 20 for the latter, to be delivered in Yuba City. Tliero is a revival of interest iu beet-sugar manufacture on this cosst. It is reported that u party of experienced sugar beet growers from Sixonv iutend cnL'seiniMii that iu.lmtrv ou a Urge scale iu Los AnL-eles couutv. Some laud will raise as high as forty tout of beets tJ the acre, wl ile the average is from fifteen to twenty-five tous, tho price of which range from ft 23 to $4 50 per too. rimes vv e quote as follows i Heavy salted which, following a Winter extremely favorable for agricultural purposes, gives promise of a successful hat vest. The voluniu of business is very fair at present, and any sensible in crease would result in activity. The auctions of Australia progress wjthepirit, the coinpe- n nun ueing especially gnoa ior me nest anu most perfect merino wool, which year by year iorm a smaller proportion oi ine wnoie. ilie bulk of the wool offered is defective and burry, shriukine 58 to CO per cent, and sellinz at U12d. We believo in getting up the wool well, hav ing it cleaned washed so that each year a man can sell his clip by its general reputation with buytrs. Let buyers right shy of heavy clips year after year, and that will be the best vvay to mako that clip a lighter one in good time, Tlio wool most wanted for a few years at leasu are me long stapled nuo wool, bait olooil 1 1 fivo-eiehts blood, and of lenzth to comb. and they comb shorter wool now than they once did fine wool generally. With coarse wool we fear demand will not bo extra good for inmo time to come; the coarser, the worse the demand. There has never been a season where the woolen goods trade was so healthy that man ufacturers were able to purchase their stocks so cheaply without any concerted action shown to depress prices, espacially when it is evi dent that supplies all along, as a rule, have been inadequate to the wants of producers, and yet money has not been scaice or dtar. Nothing short of tho conservatism shown in purchising wool could have served to keep the vwoi iruuu iu so sioauy and uniiorm condition, and it is hoped that manufacturers will hesi tate before they depart from a policy which has served their purposes so well.

About three months ago' we were induced to try a package of the Oklrox Kiiixey Tea, which has appar ently entirely cured both of us, as since tak ing it two weeks wo have felt no symptoms of the disease. We can heartily recommend it to others similarly afilicted, as wo believe it will do all that is claimed for it. M. L. White. Astoria, Or., Dec. 2S, 1870.

ESTABLISHED IN 1872. MILLER BROTHERS, Wholesale and Retail DEALERS IN SEEDS, ETC., H The World's Epileptic Institute. Correspondence of tho Chicago TlmeB, Aug. 10, 1SS1. While passing through St. Joseph, Mo., and having heard a great deal about the World's lipiloptio Institute located here, 1 concluded to pay the celebrated institution a short visit. We were met by Dr. Richmond, the proprietor, who has gaintd a reputation as broad as tho land, ile is a lather small, yot prepossessing man, of very atfablo "and gentlemanly manners. Ho gave us a hearty welcome, and took great pains in showing us tlirougn nis palatial ami mammoth institution. It is a fivo-storybuildiug, 200x180 feet, with hascnunt, and contains over three hundred rooms, and can accommodate live hundred patients, and each and every room is furnished in tho most elegant and lavish inanmr. liut wo will begin at the oihce, v. men is a large rouni furnished with rosewood furniture throughout. Iu tho olGco are thousands of photographs of those who have been benefited hy the Nervine. The walls are elegantly pa pered, and are profusely decorated with rich and costly pictures, relieved here and there ny busts in stono and bronze of eminent men of this and other countries, In connection with the Institute is a mammoth printing houie and bindery, occupying six or seven latyrc rooms, and a score ot presses are kept running night and day turning out work for the doctor. The ollice is one of the finest and must complete in tho West, and he has the rooms decorated, carpeted and trimmed with as much care and luxury as is his own private office. On the first tloor of this mammoth building ii tho doctor's prhate ollice, the printing department, bindery, tank room, packing, buttling aud consultation rooms, barber shop, etc',, all of which are fitted up rcgai dless of expense. The second tloor has the hotel ollice, dining, billiard and cooking rooms, many gutat chambers aud several par lors. The third and fourth floors are all rooms, all of w hich aro furnished with llrus sets cirpcU and the fittest furniture. The bil liard room has six tables, all of which are frt-o to tho guests of tho house and their frieuds, Tho bath room is large and neat, and is also free to guests. The cnti'e building is sur rounded ou the east and south by an elegant Iho acre park, in wlnc'h are lovely trees, beds of rich mid rare plants, gravel walks and dm es, delicious arbors, and a moat beautiful summer bouse. .There are also a number of fountains that add woudertully to the beauty of the p irk, which is truly one of the most lowly aud attractive iu tho western country, and the lustituto hat no equal for luxury aud comfort in the world. Everything is perfec tion, and tho visitor is at once charmed w itb tho entire place and ita surrouudings. An idei of the immensity of the doctor's business may bo niven when we say that on the day we Malted the Institute he showed us to tin unless room, and wo saw tho exprtssuiau tako goois laueicu to me louou lug places, to say nothing of hundreds of orders from all ijuarteis oi America s i.yon, r ranee; l.eueva, Switzerland; Madrid, Spain; Brussels, 1W1 cium; Cape Tuhu, Alnca; Shanghai, China; Yokohama, Japan; Bombay, India, Mel bourne, .Australia.
