H H A A. A. i I ' VOL. X.-NO. 20. PHIL ADELPHI A, FRIDAY, JULY 23 1869. DOUBLE SHEET THREE CENTS. ? I FIRST EDITION CUB V. The Sufferings of the Spanish Troops De Rodas' Nepotism Th6 Situation in New York. An arrival (rum Havana brings the following news to July 17: 1 be Niiunlnli Soldier t'nnble lo Stand the 1 llmntc. Tlic following (IcspatclicN liavc lately been re ceived nt the palace. Tlio first is from General l'tieHo, who proceeds to nay: As I observed toyour Excellency before leaving Havana with the battalion of marine infantry, tliope men will fight but eannot stand tlio Held in our climate with the system of warfare adopted by the rebels. You have a proof of it in my first encounter near Nucvitiut. Hereafter I must, as much as practicable, avoid attacking again, and mnintaiu myself on the defensive until you can Fend us acclimated men, or negroes, as suggested by C'ondc Valmaseda. Alter the first march, two" hundred of my men have entered the hospitals. Yalniaseda and Benign! can make no progress with the few men nt their command. With the rains and sickness prevailing now not much could ho done, even if we were reinforced by 15,000. I nm, therefore, of opinion it would be best to evacuate all the jxuts we hold, have the sea ports attended by the navy, and proceed at ouee to protect the 'V estern District. The following comes from Brigadier Lcsea: Vly friends the volunteers will be happv to operate under my command. tend me at least 2000 of them to help my holding the principal points in my neighborhood. With the rains and sickness it is out of the question to think of active operations in the field. As a confirmation of the above, the J'oz de Cuba published on the 13th the article headed "One effort more," the inoBt interesting part of which I translate. It proceeds thus: We have a chief who inspires complete and absolute confidence. We should anticipate his wishes. Let him ask us for the, resources he may judge necessary to terminate the war. Let us place at his disposal all that is left us in the way of means, strength, and blood, that we may in the end quietly enjoy what we earn iu this war. If the resources are scarce, as they arc likely to bo with the Government, let us call and fill its vaults with the capital we still hold. Jt is certainly not a bad business that for which an amount is risked to Bave the balance. If sol diers arc wanted to occupy the vast extent of territory in the central part of the island, here are our gallant volunteers who are ready to shed their generous blood for the country as soon as their gallant general will suggest it. If the plans of the campaign or military combina tions make it necessary to evacuate some of the Eoints we hold, let it be done at once, no matter ow important may be the interests abandoned. The salvation of the country is the first thing to be attended to, aud we have sufficient property of the traitors to make up for the losses of the loyal. Immense have been the sacrifices realized up to date, but it is not enough, and a further effort is to-day more necessary than ever. Our revenue has diminished mate rially, while the war expenditures have increased in proportion. But what of that, if the pockets of the Spaniards are always open to sustain the cause of the country ? They will not be closed w hen it is known that the money taken out of them will be well employed. The mother country cannot and must not for the present send us any more soldiers, and it would be uujust and cruel to ask her to do it at this season of the year. Vhy. then, if every Spaniard is boru a soldier, should we not shoulder muskets, and thus honor ourselves ? For such a purpose it is not necessary to appeal to coercion. Take one-fourth, one-third, one-half of tho volunteers of Havana, if necessary, to send against the enemy, and you will shortly see . them replaced by others who have not assumed the uniform, because they believed that those actually under arms were more than sutlieient to preserve order. Although our triumph is un doubted, we should not allow the enemy to complete his work of devastation aud extermi nation, or until the epidemic, threatening to ex tend in the central district, invades all the island. - Such is the condition of a Hairs with the Spaniards. SullrrliiK of the Hpnninli Trooim. You can form some idea of the sufferings of the Spanish soldiers who have come over the sea within the last eight months to fight for tho in tegrity Jttpanol. When the battalion ot the Quinton arrived here a few days since there were only thirty men to be counted, and these looked meagre, sickly, and were half naked. About eight hundred' men went out iu the battalion from Havana. The matter was worse so far as concerns the battalion ot Heus. Eleven hundred men, comprising this body of troops, marched away from Santiago two months ngo. Two hun dred and fifty soldiers were all that were left of it n the 22d of June last. Ie Hoeing' NepollNin. General De Rodas has not, so far, differed much from his "illustrious predecessors." You have often heard the old story of nepcisin charged upon the Governors-General of Cuba, and indeed it is one of tho most prominent nulional vices. The new Captain-Gener.il comes out with fair and llattering promises: "he would restore the country to peace and the inestimable blessings of Spanish rule." To believe what he says, one would be almost templed to credit the story of autonomy which is spoken as likely to be offered some day or other booh to the Cubans. But the foot of the oppressor is everywhere visible. What do the Creoles clamor most loudly for ? The government fof the people by the people. Mow, look, aud see If such an idea as that ever entered De Kodas' head. Here is a list of the members of his own family who came out with him to aid iu governing tho country, and who are to be supported iu easy places with the generous money of the Cubans: Manuel Fer nandez Kodiis, "Feruaudo Fernandez Kodus, F. Fernandez, llodas, Gabriel Fernandez Duro, Antonio Fernandez Duro, Ccsareo Fernando! Duro. Instead of going out to the field of bat tle, where these Fernandez Duro aud Fernandez Kotlas might encounter a few stray balls from tho enemy's muskets, they are all expected to remain quietly in Havana, and receive iuto their pockets large quantities of balls, but such Only as are made of silver and gold. It is well known that Mr. Lcinus lias been less sanguine in relation to the success of tho new republic than many other sympathizers and helpers. Ho held that tho revolution was be gun one year too soon. Tho venerable ex-President of the Junta has been much esteemed by Americans since his arrival hero in his oUieiiil capacity. Tho New York World of this morning has the following items: The lteuiovnl of l.i iiiun. Senor Morales I.emus, "Kuvuy of the Cuban Republic" to the United States, and President of tlio Cubun Junta in this city, lias been removed, and Mr. Maclas, it is said, has been appointed in his place. Mr. Lemus, it uppears, was charged with being responsible for tho late disastrous failures of the organization in sending off expe ditions of men aud munitions from this port. It is said that a number of recruits for the Cuban army arc about to bring suits against the Junta to recover the :0 per month, in gold, oflered by them at the time of enlistment. The JuuU appear to refuse to pay any exciipt those who enlisted at their own headiiartors. The recruits will fthso sue for the two bounty, iu f;old. offered them, nnd for their clothes, ct., oet In tho attempted xpedltions. Froanrrt of the FlllhnnteiV RelemiA To-ilnr hot llrrnme of the Went lloboken Camp. There is hope for the filibusters at last. They will be discharged from Fort Lafayette in time to see the light of to-day, or, at all events, that of to-morrow. We can hardly explain why their release has not been ordered before. Marshal Barlow has simply said that they were "not yet rcody to let theingo." During the past two days District Attorney I'icrrcpont has spent most of his time in examining iuto the case of the filibusters, and consulting with the Secretary of State, as well as with Mr. Barlow, on tho subject of the release of the prisoners. lie yesterday telegraphed to United States Commissioner While, lrora his country seat, saying n boat would leave this afternoon for Fort Lafayette, carrying a number of the United States authorities, and notifying Mr. White to be ready to accompany the "party. It appears from this that Mr. l'ierrepont contemplates the discharge of tho filibusters to-day, and intends that the Commissioner shall proceed to tho fort and go through the form of un examination of the prisoners, after which they will probably be discharged on their own recognizances, fho number of filibusters confined at the fort is 124, all of whom were men under Colonel Kyan. and captured about a week ago on Gardiner' Island: The fifty filibusters who were captured at the West llobokcn camp, on Tuesday night last, were never sent to Fort Lafayette as reported. They were taken on board a steamer, but, bo forc they had got half way to the intended place of confinement, their release was ordered, and nil were set free. The stories which hate been printed and re cited concerning an alleged breach between Mar shal Barlow and District Attorney l'ierrepont, over filibuster aft airs, are all without foundation. Except so for as they arc enabled to act together by the commissions of tho President author izing both of them or each of tlieni to order out the military and suppress expeditious, their duties are entirely sepurate and dis tinct; it being the duty of the Marshal to act as au executive officer, and arrest, without con sulting anybody, all persons found violating the laws of the United States, while tlio District At torney follows up the proseeutiou, and moves to hold or discharge the prisoner, as he shall think most proper, after the hearing. The commis sions sent separately to Mr. l'ierrepont and Mr. Barlow are worded alike, and each authorizes the holder of the commission to act separately or conjointly. Thus far they have acted together harmoniously. WENDELL. Another Fierce nnd Ferocious Philippic Aalnt (Jrnnt- Wendell Phillips discourses as follows in the Anti-Slavery standard of this week, under the head of "Forgotten Promises: ' General Grant was commended to the country as a man of few words, but sure to mean even more than he said, and to do far more than ho would condescend lo promise. The few words he had uttered were all carefully gathered up and made the most of. The weighty sentences of the Delphic oracle were never studiud with more anxious care than were his rare and brief sayings. A man who speaks so seldom and with such deliberation may fairly bo presumed to weigh all he says, and each sentence so treasured aud built on is a pledge, to which the nation may not unreasonably hold him. When he said, in lhliG, "I never could have believed that I should favor giving negroes the right to vote, but that seems to me the only solution of our difllculties," men felt assured that on this point he might be trusted, and hence almost expected the counte nance which his Inaugural gave to the fifteenth amendment. Indeed, General Grant may bo said to have been elected more on the promises ho had incidentally made than on any express con tract with the Chicago Convention. Why, then, is not martial law proclaimed? Is the promise forgotten? He cannot claim that circumstances have changed. Georgia, Texas, and Mississippi remain still in tho same condi tion, so far as their relation to the nation is con cerned, as they were when General Grant re commended this course to Andrew Johnson. Hug lilo grown any more secure there? Wo know that every trustworthy witness who gets audience of the' President brings hitn evidence that the same unurehy prevails. Docs the great captain eat his own words? Are there any in fluences in the White House that blind the eyes which saw so clearly while in the camp? We have sometimes wished that some clear-headed and keen-sighted adviser eould approach the President. But, after readiug this, we know no one whe could put the duty iu a clearer light than the .President himself has placed it two years ogo. Assassination for opinion is as frequent loyal men flying, or hiding, for safety, while Rebels are firing salutes under Confederate Hags in Southern capitals ! Is it a King Log with a paper sceptre that sits in the White House ? Wo were told that if wo made a soldier President we should have a strong government, full of de cision; one that could not ho bullied. -For all we have seen in four months, wo might as well have had in the White House clumsy James of England, who always fainted at the sight of a sword. Gloomy prophets feared that under Grant we should have a coup d'etat, and that he would take possession of the Government. Thus far it seems .more likely that Beauregard will make a coup d'etat and take possession of Grant. Wendell Phillips. Tin- Summer lEemortN. The wonder of the White Mountains this sea son is the Mount Washington Railway. This stu pendous work is now entirely finished and in operation from the base of the mountain to the Tip-Top house, iu frout of which tho iron horse may bo daily heard snorting. The depot at the base of the mountain is six miles from the Fa byan place, or seven miles from the White Mountain House. The railroad ascends the mountain in a tolerably straight course, follow ing the general line of the old Fabyan bridle path. Tho upper depot is U(85 feet above tho level of tho sea, or 1117 feet above tho White Mountain House. This leaves a grade of 3iHX) feet to be overcome, as the height of tho moun tain is feet above tlio level of the sea. The length of the road is two miles and thirteeu-bixteeuths. The heaviest grade is twelve inches to the yard, and tho very lightest one inch to the foot. A part of tho course is over "Jacob's Ladder," tho staging portion of the old bridle-path lying just above the point where the trees are left behind. The railroad takes a generally straight line, however, curving slightly only to maintain a direct course. It has been proposed to build a railroad up the side of tlio Rigl, in Switzerland, and Mr. Otto Gruninger, a Swiss engineer, lias been examin ing the Mount Washington Railway tho present season, wilh a view to the construction of the same upon Mr. March's plan. Tho length and inclination of the roud will bo about the same. The cool weather of early summer has light ened the travel to the White Mountains mate rially. Tho usual rush begius, however, iu tho latter part of July. This season is likely to bo shorter than usual. Tho leading houses In tho lake and mountain regions of New Hampshire are under tho same management as last season. Visitors to the summit of Mount Washington now have their choice of three routes tho rail way, the carriage road from the Glen side, and the bridle path from the Crawford House. George William Curtis is at Ashfleld for the summer. Mr. C. Godfrey Gunther, Manager Grau, and Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams are at Bath, L. I. Mount Desert Islo Is the most fash ionable resort nmong the peoido of Maine. Tho season at tlio White Sulphur Springs is to bo inaugurated to-day with a masquerade ball, among tho managers of which are Gen. Robert E. Lee, Blacque Bey. the Turkish Ambassador; Henry A. Wise, and Gen. K L. Walker, of Virginia. BROWXLOW. lie Does not Affiliate with the Deinocmcy. Brownlow, the ex-Gubernatorial Parson of Tennessee, who supports Scnter for Governor, and is being just now quoted as having entered into a compact to resign his place in the Senate to let in Andrew Johnson, has written a card, in which he repudiates A. J. in toto, aud gives the following blast at the Democracy in general: In conclusion, I have no confidence in that organization known as the Democratic party, either North or South. I can never act with that organization, nor support any man for office who, I have reason to believe, will bo con trolled by its partisans. Indeed, if I desired to bring the devil out of his lair, and secure his active co-operation with me in polities, I would proclaim myself a Democrat of the Kcbcl-eon-servative school. Tho organization is choke-full of hatred of the United States Government, and having the fish-like smell of "Ftates rights," it Is unsavory to the nostrils of modern progress. There are but two parties left in this country the diminishing party of Democracy that brought out the Rebellion; and tho rapldlygrow ing party of National Republicans, who advo cate universal suffrage and tho equal rights of all, irrespective of birthplace or color. To this party I belong, and with it and my country I propose to sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish ! Concerning Scnter, the Parson says: So far as(tiie reprcscntationsjniuned concerning me, and also as to your being disfranchised in the event of Seutcr's election, have been made by native Tcnnesseeans, they are made by un mitigated demagogues, who do not themselves believe a word of them, aud they aro made for the purpose of misleading you. So far they have been made by persons ot Northern birth, they arc made by unprincipled men, devoid of self-respect or responsibility, that they may use your votes for their own poli tical purposes. My advice is, beware of bth. They are not your frieuds. To follow their counsels will only lead you astray. Jou well know that I have ever defended your cause; that I have never misdirected or forsaken you. Gov ernor Scnter is a good man. Ho is running as a Republican. He stands squarely upon tho Re publican platform, with Grant aud Congress, the great Republican party, and the entire Republi can press, on franchise, the fifteccth amendment, and on education. I have known him and Gene ral Stokes for twenty-five years. I havo closely watched their political courso, and I give it as my candid opinion that Governor Scntcr's personal character is the bet ter of the two; that his political record is more consistent, and that iu point of ability and statesmanship he is far superior. Do not allow yourselves to be used by political demagogues. Do not forsake your political friends. Governor Scnter will be elected by an overwhelming majority, and also by a majority of the Repub licans of Tennessee, and should you be found to have arrayed yourself against him in force, what will be your position ? You cannot afford to put yourself outside the Republican party, and you do not want to array against yourselves the great mass of those who have heretofore stood by you and ever maintained your rights. To Andrew Johnson he pays the following tribnte: I take this occasion to say that, as highly as I esteem the friendship of the Republicans of Tennessee, I do not not want the good opinions of such as deem me capable of scllinar out tho Republicans of Tennessee to the Rebels, or of forming an alliance, offensive and dcfcnsive,wlth Andrew Johnson. GENERALITIES. A Great Hen Ilattle. A novel sight was witnessed a few days ago bv Mr. Gaffany, who lives at Bodega bay, Cal. While ploughing near tho coast, his attention was directed to an unusual commotion in the water, nearly a mile from shore, which proved to be a conflict between five sword fishes and a sperm whale. The ocean was quite calm, and as they ncared the shore their movements could be plainly seen. The whale was no match for his smaller antagonists, who seemed to un derstand his only means of defense, aud dis played considerable knowledge of tactics in parrying with their formidable ad versary. In making their thrusts iuto his stiles they would keep clear of his tail, one blow of which would have been fatal to them. With maddened fury the huge monster of the deep would strike right aud left, causing tho water to boil by tho force of tho blow and then he would dive deep to escape the relentless fury of his tormentors, but he was followed and soon brought to the surface. Deep gashes could be seen in his sides, and the blood flowed freely. The fight was witnessed for nearly an hour, when the whale. In the agony of despair, started for the shore, flinging himself upon some low rocks, and soon died from the effects of his wounds. Gashes two feet deep and six foot long were made in his sides. Many from the neigh boring city went to see him. He was between fifty aud sixty feet long. The third day the tide rose high enough to float him from tho rocks, and he flouted out to sea. The Pay of .Miracle I Not PiimI. The Nashville (Tenn.) PreM and Times has been informed by a gentleman, who is both truthful and intelligent, that a young man by tho name of Rowell, of Bell's Depot, was struck sud denly deaf and dumb, on tho 19th instant, whilst en route to Memphis from his place of residence. It seems that out of mere sport, when tho news boy came around and offered him a paper, that he feigned to be both deaf and dumb, and in this way annoyed the vender of tho latest Memphis papers no little. The newsboy passed on, but the unfortunate joker never spoke again. When lie began to realize tho extent of bis inisfortuuo, he got off the train, bound for Memphis, at Mason's depot, and took the first train that came along for Bell's depot. On the train he indulged in loud lamentations aud cries, as if sorely dis tressed. The affair excited intense interest among his fellow-pusiiengerB, aud on his arrival home, so soon as he stepped out on the platform, lie seized a pencil and a bit of paper from a citizen iu the crowd, and wrote, "Struck dumb on ac count of my folly;" and continued weeping in most piteous tones. There seemed to bo no doubt about tho matter. When young Rowell left that morning for Memphis he could both hear and speak without dillieulty, and his loss of these senses, under tho circumstances, is a most astounding incident. Admiral Fink, Jr., iel IiIn Clutcheii ou Another Komi. The Toledo Blade announces that "tho con troversy between the Erie and the Toledo, Wa bash and Western Railwavs has been amicably adjusted, and iu such a manner that tho settlo ruent brings with it important benefits to both roads, to the country at largo, and more espe cially to our own city. Tho basis of tho ar rangement between tho compaulos is substan tially us follows; Tho Erio management is to be represented In the Wabash directory, iho road from Decatur to St. Louis, a project iu which tlio Wabash has a vital interest, is to bo built us contemplated by the Wa bash; tho Wabash road will operate the road from Naples to Hannibal, at which point it will connect with tho contemplated road to Kansas City, known as tho Moberly route, con necting at Kansas City wilh tho Kansas brunch of tho Pacific Road. This is a consummation of great value to the section of country in our State through which the continuation of the At lantic and Great Western Road is to be made, and especially so to this city, as tho terminus of the Broad Gauge. Toledo will be thus placed on one of the great highways of tho coutlueut, and made doubly sure of its high position as a rail road and commercial centre. With tho contem plated Northern road, whicn will .Invito and se cure conueetiou with several of the loading lines of the State, our railway system will be complete."

The compromise on the Irish Church bill was the result of fear on the part of the peers of the consequences threatened by a collision of the two Houses of Parliament. On Wednesday night, the Tory lords held a large meeting at a private residence, and re solved to repudiate the Marquis of Salisbury, and put themselves under the lead oi Lord, Cairns. Tho latter was authorized to make peace with tho Ministry and express the willing ness of the peers to yield. Yesterday, Lord Cairns sought an interview with Earl Granville, and gave in the submission of the peers; where upon the Cabinet agreed to the compromise an nounced last night. The prompt and loud ex pression of popular indignation terrified tho Lords. And thus has becu potsponed for awhile the threatened agitation. Thin Morning' Quotations. London, July 23 A. M.

These crews contain none of the classes just graduated, and no freshmen. Tho average weight of the Yale crew Is about 103 pounds; that of Harvard something less. The Yale boat, built by Elliot, is 53 feet long, 21 inches wide, and weighs 175 pounds. The Harvard boat is said to be 25 or 30 po-iuds heavier, and three inches wider. Both crews are dissatisfied with their boats. Neither crew, according to report, has trained so rigidly as has been usual in pre vious years; yet all arc culled good men. The freshmen crews which are also to contend to-day are made up of the followiug men: rale. John Payne Studley (stroke), Derby, Conn. William Lee dishing, Hath, Me. Frank Gerard Bond Swayne, Colnmbus, Ohio. Elbert Hamilton Hubbard, Sioux couutv, Iowa. Lucius Sylvius Boomer (bow), Chicago,' HI. Harvard. Robert Shaw Russell (stroke), Boston, Mass. Alanson Tucker, Huston, Mass. William Caleb Lorinit, Boston, Mass. Eugene Treadwell, New York. George Huntington Gould, New York. Henry St John Smith (bow), Portland, Me. The freshmen are thought to be pretty equally matched. FINANCE AN1 COMMERCE. Omoi of tbx Enjrraa Tit.ikiraph,! Friday, Jolj 23, lat. f Onr Money market is Improving, but very slowly, and loaus continue at 7 per cent, ou call and at M Vi per cent, for discounts, with apparently no down ward tendency. The unyielding tone of the market is entirely due to the condition or the banks, which continue to plead poverty of resources. The weekly statement of Monday next will enlighten us as to their real position, but we doubt if it will show any Increased strength upon which a hope may be based of a speedy reduction in the rates. Discounting is almost entirely limited to street operators, who are, as usual, prompt In taking advantage of circum stances. The only chance of an improvement in this direction Is in the resumption of a mora liberal policy on the part of the banks. At present the signs are not very encouraging. There is a very moderate demand for gold to-day, and the fluctuations are very slight. Sales at tlio epenmg and at noon wera reported at 13.".',. Government loans are extremely quiet, but a slight advance In prices Is reported at Whelen Bro thers', No. 105 8. Third street.

Oold, 135 V. NEW YORK IWONKY MARKET. The following extracts show the state of the New York money market yesterday From the Herald. "The markets In Wall street eontlnne to exhibit even more than their usual summer dulnees, noiieej ble not so much In the falling off in the amount of the dealirgs. although these are below the average, but in tho absence of the excitement so usual aioat the Stock Exchange, and the general appearance of almost Idleness as compared with the rush and con fusion of a month ago. To-day did not form an ex ception to this condition, at least during the morn ing and early afternoon hours, although a slight awakenlngmoccurred after "the second call. Tu n'arkct opened stesdy, with moderate activity, at almost the closing llgures of last night, and con tinued without special leaturcs until tlio first call, fluctuating within an extremely narrow margin. At the llrst call prices were steady, but succeeding that a slight improvement occurred up to the period of the second call, at which most of the railways were a fraction higher than in the morulug, Pacific Mail tyinpathlKing in the advance. "The steadiness of the general list was shared by the Governments at the opening, prices on the first rail exhibiting but slight alteration from the closing figures of last night. At the noon call, upon Informa tion of a firm tone iu the market on the other side and a stronger feeling in gold here, there was a marked Improvement, which was maintained at the last call, the market closing steady. The transactions during the day were light. The fol lowing were the clt.stng prices at half-past five o'clock: I'nitcd States 6s, ist'.i, registered, 120.' n 120J4 ; do. do., coupon, 120?(ml20 ; do. 5-20s, regis tered, 121 M(it 1213 I !

"Cold opened this morning at 13.y,', and advanced quickly to X from which it fell again to V, and ranged during the greater part of thij day between these extremes, reaching 1:151, at 5 o'clock. The tendency to Hie higher ligure was due in part, le sides the heavy shipments of species, to the parlia mentary crisis Iu England, which is fraught wilh the gravest danger. A Cabinet crisis there has always been sutlieient to produce very severe dis turbance In money circles. We may well then look with alarm upon the present attitude of the Lords and Commons as one capable of producing the most aillictlng results. The report ot the Oold Exchange Hank for to-dav furnishes the following items: (iold cleared, f 60,203, WK); gold balances, 11,675,677; currency ba'ancis, f 2,los,844. The disbursements of coin interest were 262,012. The steamer Weser took with her J:i50,ooo iu specie, ami the Missouri 140,000, making au aggregate of Sin,ooo. "The aggregate amount of proposals submitted to the Sub-Treasurer to-dav for the Jl, 000,000 Govern ment gold, advertised to be sold, was 11,975,000. The awards were as follows :-?lO0,O0O at 135-30; 1200,000 at 135-25.V ; 1200,000 at 135-22J : $200,000 at 135-21 V ; 1 150,000 at 135-20K ; I50.0UO at 13.V30 ; $50,000 at 136"22 ; $25,000 at 135-26 : $25,000 at 135-23. "Foreign exchange is steady, without change In rates. We quote Sterling, sixty days' commercial, lP9.V(ffl09?4'; bankers, , 109;i4 110 ' ; short sight. 110H(allo; Paris, 60 days, 6-18 o5-12; short sight, 5-12(i 5-105,; Antwerp, 6-18X(5-12 : Switzerland, 5-ls?4(o5 12x ; Hamburg, 85,(ai36; Am sterdam, 40',i40?4 ; Frankfort, 40V40j fBremen, 78K (79V ; Prussian thalers, 70,'(71j. "The money market, worked.during the early part of the day similarly to yesterday, the rate on call loans being six per cent on Governments and seven on stocks. Later, however, owing to the heavy dis bursements by tne Treasury on account of the bonds purchased yesterday, there was a relaxation from these figures, and transactions are reported at Ave and six towards the dose. Discounts are also easier, the extreme range being eight to twelve per cent., with the bulk of business between these figures." l'liiladelpliia Trade Report.
