The Raftsmen's Riot on tbe Steamer
Dubuque Murderous and Un
provoked Brutality Six
Men Killed.
Tbe Davenport, Iowa, Journal of Friday c-ives
the following tiecount of the grunt riot on the
Mississippi river steamer iubiiue, vairue and
unsatisfactory accounts of which have previously
been received by telegraph:
It appears that the dlHturbanee commenced by
a man attempting to go up the stairway from
the deck while the clerk was collecting fare and
tickets. The negro that guarded the stairway
refused to allow him to come up, without he
bad a cabin ticket . The man said he li.nl one.
but refused to show it. He then tried tot'till
the negro down, but the negro, after the primi
tive fashion of his race, lowered his head and
butted the raftsman over backwards. As he fell
lie struck his head against an Iron scraper at tbe
bottom, cutting his scalp, lie then went among
bis companions, aud told them that the "d d
darkey had knifed him." lie then advanced,
utid said he would light the colored man either
with a knife or listieuff. The negro accepted
and agreed to tight him, aud t lie rafummn backed
water and would not. This altercation grew
apace, and at last broke out into a general dis
turbance. The 150 raftsmen seemed bent on murdering
every negro they could lind on the boat. There
were about thirty-live ot them on board in the
rapacity of deck-hands. Some of them had
knives, and used them to some purpose, wound
ing two men, one of whom is supposed to hao
died. The boat at this time was at Duck Creek
Chain, and here the raftsmen threw three
negroes overboard, and they were drowned,
when the boat reached Hampton and pulled on
shore. They made an advance on the colored
deck-hands, and drove them, to the number of
twenty-nine, on shore, and then pursued them
over the wood piles, shooting them with re
volvers. They then searched the boat to see If
any were secreted there. They found two be
hind a coal box. One of these leaped overboard
when the men approached, and the other was
beaten to death.
The raftsmen did not attempt to molest the
pilot, nor did they mingle with the passengers
on the upper deck. They only glorified among
themselves below stairs, at the supremacy which
they deemed they had won. The captain went
below and expostulated with them mildly to be
-ruict, but in such a crowd a milk-and-water
course was naturally of no avail. None of the
ollicers of the boat had lire-arms, and but few
if any of the passengers.
The officers of the boat, seeing that they were
unable to quell the disturbance while the boat
was lying at Hampton, determined to take her
back to the point of the island, and place the
rioters under a guard of soldiers. The rioters
then told Capt. Rhode that if he went back to
Rock Island they would burn the boat.
The boat then moved up the stream above
Hampton. The passeugers remained in the
cabin, fearing the frenzied demons below, many
Of whom were nerved to desperation by liijuor,
nd would have stopped at nothing. The olli
cers were powerless. Here the captain at
tempted to draw in on shore, when the ring
leaders, one of whom was the curly-headed origi
nator of the outrage, who had recovered his
bowie knife and was brandishing it fiendishly,
threatened to burn the boat if hi) did not keep
out in the steam, and head up river. At length
Port Byron was reached, and here, a number of
the raftsmen wanting to get v.p, the boat landed.
A number accordingly left the boat, and it is
supposed took to the bluffs to avoid conse
quences. Tho train In the meantime had gone
on and learned that the boat had left Hampton.
The train continued in pursuit, and overtook the
boat at Clinton.
When the boat reached Clinton the train-load
of citizens, with the sheriff at their head, was
awaiting them, and, as the boat touched the
wharf, a half dozen ollicers jumped on board,
with pistols drawn, and took possession. This
was tho first intimation the rioters had of there
being anybody on their track, l.'p to this time
they had carried everything with a high hand.
They were monarch of the situation, and they
did not seem to be aware that there was such a
thing as a telegraph on the land. They had up
to this time talked pompously of what they
could do, and what they intended to do, etc.,
but when they saw the pistols at their heads,
they became us pacific as mice.
When tho boat landed the gang plank was
drawn out, and a row of citizen police placed
along It. Rope guards were put up to clear a
path for the prisoners to file through. On the
shore the negro deck-hands were stationed in
two lines a few feet apart.
Tho deck passengers were made to pass
through in single lile, and run the gauntlet of
the negroes' scrutiny. Some of these colored
men had their heads bound up, aud were other
wise wounded from the lumps of coal which
their assaihiats had showered upon them. They
examined every mun as he passed with the
utmost attention, taking in every particular
feature of dress and countenance by which he
might be identified.
when they fixed upon a man's identity, he
was ordered to stand one side, under guard, a ud
after a number had been thus "spotted," they
were taken to jail. A largo number of this pro
cession were innocent Ibcotiiiu white-haired
Swedes, fresh from their Dalecarlan cow pas
tures, and who would not molest u mosquito that
bit them. Hut the others were a rough-looking
set. from whom Latimer might have illustrated
a treatise on human depravity as imprinted ou
the countenance. Forty-tour were thus identi
fied and taken to jail, and placed under a strong
guutd. There tiro now sixty men in the Rock
Island Jail, the largest number that have been
there ut one time since the j:iil was built, among
whom are four or five of tbe most desperate
house-breakers.
Five men were brought from hnton in Irons.
These had been recognized by the ollicers ot tho
boat as ringleaders, and were pointed out to tho
iSlieritT by them. These are all of the square
head, pig-eyed tribe, who look as if they would
cut a throat without compunction.
The ncrocs who were run on shore returned
on foot to Rock Island. The towns along the
way were in tbe greatest consternation at the
disturbance, the result of which ihey could only
iurmise. It seemed to be n part of their tactics
not to land at tho towns, us they did not tomb
at Port Hyrou, but a little below it. There was
..Vine ci ted action to take possession
of the boat, but tho capture of the boat was

The New .MlnlMrj-SlKnincnncc of Nome ofllie
Aioiiiliiienln.
The Paris correspondent of the London haVy
Ai under date of July IS, writes as follows:
The Ministry is gazetted: with one exception,
and that quite politically unimportant, the
names are those reported yesterday. The new
name Is that of M. Jiourbeati, appointed Minister
if Public Instruction. There was for n moment
an idea of miming M. de la (iuerronniere to this
place: but be never bad the chance to refuse It.
as reported by his own journal, l.n Franee. M.
ISouibeau. the pralnjv of M. de Forcade la
Roqmlte and M. All red l.croux. was returned
at the last elections for the department of the
Viemic as a Government candidate against M.
Thiers. He Is a native of I'oitiers, whee he has
passed his life, and of which city he was Mayor
in 184 T. lie sat as deputy for Yicnne in the
Assembly of 1H48, but was not re-elected
to the legislative chamber. Since 1S4S in;
has been the leader of the Poitiers bar. and
was twice fleeted balonnier. He is titty-eight
years old. M. Rourbeau is the only one of the
new ministry that signed the Interpellations of
the 1 15, and was probably chosen for that among
other reasons, ibit he must not be taken as re
presenting in any way the spirit in which those
interpellations were framed, lie. one of the
most obscure men among the signers, takes
olliec as tho liegeman of the reactionary party,
with whom he is now associated, and Is claimed
as Mich by the J'nblio and J'ayn. It is quite a
mistake to describe the present ministry as a
ministry of transition. It Is as delinitive as any
ministry can be under present circumstances,
and represents pure imperialism us opposed to
the government of the country by the country,
which was called for by the interpellations. Si.
Rouher, of whom the present ministry is merely
the "small change," boasts In his organ, the
J'ublie, to-night, that the Tiers J'arti is crushed.
''It died on the day when it attempted to live."
M. Rouhcr's appointment as permanent Presi
dent of the Senate will bo signed to-morrow,
and you will see, as I have already told you, that
the tactics of the Government are to make the
best for tho next six years of tho present ma
jority in the Chamber," albeit not so large as In
the last, and then to -say that the message is
fairly carried out, and 'that the Government is
parliamentary because it acts In consort with
the majority." This is the be-all and end-all of
the policy which M. Rouher has induced the
F.mperor to accept. All the politically impor
tant ofliees in the Government remain in the old
hands. M. de Forcade la Roquette, who was
Minister of the Interior during the late elections
(and not, as mistakenly said in yesterday's Titnes,
now newly appointed to that place), will con
tinue to represent and defend fraud, In
timidation, and corruption in the con
duct of elections ; ruinous standing
armies and perpetual rumors of war are
personated by Marshal Niel and his colleague.
Admiral do Genouilly, Minister of Marino; and
extravagance and frequent loans have an able
and unscrupulous advocate in M. Magno. If
tho Prince de la Tour d'Auvcrgne's appointment
to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs means any
thing, it is that he leans to Rome somewhat
more than tho Marquis de Lavalette; he Is
brother to tho Archbishop of Hourges, and his
suspected ultramontauism may be useful in rally
ing some votes of the majority. M. Duvergier,
the Minister of Justice, a mere lawyer, as I said
yesterday, is scventy-fcvcu years old. M.
Alfred Lo Roux, fifty-four years old, is a mem
ber of the old majority, who has steadily voted
against every liberal measure for tho last twelve
years. Thc'Marquis de Chasseloup-Laubat, now
inadeMiuistcr presiding over the Council of State,
Is an old anil docile imperialist. 1 uo not sup
pose anybody will be found to pretend that this
Ministry is a liberal one. M. Drury will, I be
lieve, bo made a Senator and Inspector-General
1 Public Instruction.

The next Senator from New Jersey to Rii -cced
Mr. Cattell will be elected by the Legislature to
be chosen in the fall of ItSiO, and already the
Democratic politicians are marking out tho
spoils. Governor Randolph and ex-Governor
Parker are prominently named by their respec
tive friends, while Congressman Haigbt, Mr.
i'erry, and General Riinyon have their sup
porters. Governor Randolph docs not appear
to be very acceptable to some portions of the
Democracy. Tho lltrgiu Count; lliiitnrrat,
edited by Mr. Winton, a member of the lust
Legislature, in speaking of the statement that
Congressmen Haigbt, ol New Jersey, is likely to
succeed Governor Itandolph, when the Inter
goes to the Senate, says: "II Congressman
Haight's chances ol the Gubernatorial chair art!
not better than Governor Randolph's for the
I nited States Senate, we think Congressman
Haight's chances decidedly below the average."
KvUiently tho Governor does not suit Wintou.
I'A-GoYeruor Parker in turn also lias oppo
nents in his own party. In Monmouth county a
lively contest is making on the State Senator
ship, as it is understood that Mr. Little is not In
his favor. The Monmouth lit'iuin r says: "It
is well known that the relations bet ween the
Senator (Mr. lljnry S. Little) and ex-Governor
have not been the most cordial since the time
Little did not favor Parker for the United States
Sanate; and as there are Democrats sanguine
enough to hope they will send a man to succeed
Catiell, for whom our next Senator will have a
vote, of course, it would lie pleasanter to the ex
Governor's friends that it should not be Senator
Little, for be might have preferences for some
other geiitlemaK (say Governor Raudolph) rather
than ex-Governor Parker."
In the meantime the Republicans aro quietly
at work, with the expectation of re-electing Mr.
Cattell or some other good Republican in ISM.

On Thursday evening, after the deputy
keepers of the State Prison at Trenton concluded
their day's labors, they were summoned together
by the principal, who informed them that on and
after tbe, 1st of August they were expected to bo
in attendance at (J o'clock each morning, in order
to be able to have the men at work by half-past
t. Under the terms of the new contract the con
victs in the shoe, department will be worked
eleven hours a day, aud the day-keepers will
have to oliiciate lor twelve hours. A non-compliance
w ith this order on the part of the depu
ties will be punished with dismissal. During
Mr. Hcnnion's harangue to his subalterns he
announced it as his policy to suppress everything
of public interest that imght happen in the in
stitution, and admonished his hearers to afford
no information to representatives of the press.
A day or two ago, while a gang of convicts
were engaged working in a cornlield belonging
to the prison, under the supervision of Deputy
Keeper Clayton, one of the number took advan
tage of the temporary absence of their boss, and,
repairing to the carriage house, divested him
self of his prison garb. and. donning tin coach
man's livery, departed, aftor taking an affec
tionate farewell of his companions. The fugi
tive was sentenced for two years, and had only
served three months. So advertisement of tbe

The Newark Advertiser ot last evening says:
8ome two years ago a young girl of twelve,
named Mary Rrogan, whose Catholic parents
reside in Raldwin street, was employed by a Pro
testant clergyman In this city as an errand girl,
and to perform other light duties about his resi
dence. After she had resided for some time with
her new employer, she commenced atteuding
Sabbath-school at the Mission chapel in Mul
berry street, near Camp, where she seems to
have conceived a preference for Protestantism.
Souie few months ago her parents discovered her
predilections and not only peremptorily lorbade
her further attendance at the Protestant
school, but caused her to be sum
moned before a priest, who reprimanded
her for deserting the faith of her pareuts, and
directed her to return to her former religious
associations. Her parents, finding that she was
still unwilling to attend the Catholic Church,
threatened to take her home and punish her
unless she at once consented to abide by their
wishes. Thus threatened, the girl finally de
cided to be confirmed at St. Patrick's Cathedral,
and accede In all respects to the wishes of her
parents. To this decision tho family of the
clergyman with whom she lived Interposed no
objections, but. on the contrary, took consider
able pains to prepare her fitting garments for
the occasion.
In due time the confirmation took place, and
for a few weeks the girl continued to attend the
Cathedral; eventually she renewed her attend
ance at the mission school, and when a second
time appealed to by her parents, she frankly told
them she preferred Protestantism, and openly
rebelled against the coercion with which they
threatened her. They accordingly compelled
her to return home, and it is alleged, not only
locked her in a room by herself, but punished
her corporally in a cruel manner.
Being unusually bright and Intelligent for one
of her years and limited opportunities, she soon
managed to elude the vigilance of her pareuts,
and escaped from home! She proceeded to tho
house of a Protestant friend at Auburn, N. Y.,
where she was given employment and kindly
treated. A few weeks ago her parents discovered
her whereabouts, and at once proceeded to Au
burn and compelled her to return agaiu to her
home. Here she remained until Friday last.
when she once more disappeared, and from that
time nothing is known ot her. Some say that
she has been removed by her parents to the
''House of the Good Shepherd," in New York,
w hile others aver that she is under the protection
of I'rotcstant friends. The affair is creating
considerable comment in religious circles, and
wo give the above details as we learned them
Irom the lanuiv ot the clergyman in whose ser
vice she continued two years, and who speak of
her as a person of pure character and sincere
religious convictions. We shall probably hear
more 01 me matter nereaiter.

The YHlow Fever ltnvliiK ut Key Went.
The latest advices by mail from Key West
report the yellow fever as still raging, and very
fatal in its results.
The Key West Jtispali h of tho 17th ult. says:
''Telegrams aud letters have reached this place
from some of our former residents, now absent,
inquiring if wo "have fever.' We answer yes,
and odd that we now have sullicicnt material for
it to work upon. Unless your business Is of
such character as to warrant the ituzard of life
in its prosecution, we advise all of you to stay
away. '
In another article the J)ipatch says: "We
neither sec how public or private good is to be
obtained by an attempt to conceal the fact that
we aro at present as a towu allllcted with fever
of a dangerous character. Some of our physi
cians maintain that it is not yellow fever very
well ! we agree that you shall name It blue,
black, green, or w hite, typhoid, or any other
fever. The result Is death In six cases out of
ten. We shall not quarrel about tho namo, but
is it generous, is It just, is It honest that wo
should attempt to conceal tho fact, and thus
Induce persons to come among us at tho hazard
of life, merely because it may prevent us from
making a lew huudrea or a iew mousuna uw
lars 1 Human life Is too precious for that."
The mortality among the troops In garrison Is
great. The Dispatch says: ''New mounds have
risen within the past two weeks. Six collins
per day, as we aro informed, form part of the
rations ordered and issued lor the troops now
here in garrison. The sharp threevolloys each
morning announce the sad tale of ouo or more

Vom the Loiuion Horning Ut ir, July 22.
Tho attention of the United States Govern
ment is now fully aroused to tho necessity of
taking vigorous measures for tho suppression of
waniKe expeditions to Cuba. 1 ho democratic
press has been finding amusement of late in
taunting President Grant with his wrath against
England for doing by accident what it alleged
tic was doing tiy design. 1 ho 1 resident doubtless
understands the conditions of political warfare iu
his own country too well tolook for justice at the
hands of the Democrats, bot tho negligence of
some of his subotdinatcs wa clearly exposing
him to the daiurer of having a serious remon
strance addressed to him from tpaln. The ves
sels which have escaped to Cuba two or three
in number, so fur as we can judge from the ex
ceedingly contradictory accounts given by tho
American journals owed their success to the
bixitv of Mew York officials. But it cannot be
forgotten that for some days, or even weeks, a
recruiting olliec on behalt'of the insurgents
was kept open iu Broadway, and that tho
steamer which ultimately discharged its
cargo at Nipe bay wa commonly reported to be
titling out lor Cuba. The truth is, that the sym
pathies of the American people are plainly with
the cumins proper, who earnestly desire to lree
themselves lrom the thraldom of .Spain; and,
under these circumstances, it is very hard for
the Government to preserve a rigorous neu
trality. The instincts of the people are jut, and
they arc certainly excusable, but Govern
ments are bound by laws and precedents.
No one will sympathize more with General
Grant's attempts to enforce an observance of
tbe laws, while giving no unnecessary olfense to
popular feeling, than Earl Hussell. who once
had a similar duty to discharge. The moderate
journals in the I nited States all found it neces
sary to exhort the people to control themselves.
'c must learn," says one. "to keep our Itching
fingers out of the Haute, and content ourselves
with simply watching the combatants till the
patriots shall have lairly earned recognition."
The President has steadily refused to yield to
the demand for prompt recognition of the in
surgents, and, however much Spain may feel
herself aggrieved by Antericaj filibusters, sho
cannot reasonably accuse the Government of
having given any evidence of unfriendly feel-
lugs towards ner.
Senor chiiih mid the .lnntn.
The New York Tribune of thi-- morning says:
tenor Morales Lemus arrived iu this city early
on (Sunday. He had a confidential interview
with the members of the .Tunta on .Sunday even
ing, when the probable result of the diplomatic
action of General Sickles, in (Spain, was the sub
ject of discussion. The Junta are engaged in
preparing a letter of thanks to the Irish Ilepub
lieans in Tennessee for the sympathy so cor
dially expressed by them toward the cause of
liberty in the Antilles. It may not be surpris
ing to learn that the narrratlves of the Wash
ington correspondents of certain daily newspa
pers about lengthy conversations with Seuors
Lemus and Bui, on diplomatic subjects are
highly exaggerated, as these gentlemen, warned
by tho fate of others who have been 'inter
viewed,' preserve a very discreet silence
upon the affairs of their nursling republic. The
Junta-Is trying to do something for the poor
Crusoes of Gardiner's Island, who are yet in the
city, but whether It is to forward them to their
homes or on another expedition is not known."

Court of Quarter Sessions Judge Hrewster.
The entire morning was occupied with the trial of
a prlsonee for the larceny of 17oo hi certlllteaes of
deposit with Jay Cooke A-Co., and belonging to Wil
liam Kntwistle. at No. f37 North Front street, lie was
a lodger in Entwistle'a house, and, according to
his own statement, gained a living by
trading in old glass, etc. One night
recently he went to the house mid found Kntwistle
uuder the influence of linimr; sitting beside him, he
watched his opportunity, and, sis instilled by
Entwistle's son, who said he saw the whole trans
action, stole the purse from his pocket. There were
then lu the purse f 20 in greenbacks and tho cer
tificates above mentioned. Subsenuently
he had occasion to go Into the
cellar. and then, according to the
testimony for the prosecution, hid tho purse under
the floor, for subsequently It tvaa found there con
taining the certificates, but minus the. cash. The
ehilil who had seen the prisoner commit the theft
told his mother, who, upon retiring for the night, ap
prised her husband, and, singularly enough, was
severely beaten for doing so. lint this she attempted
to expluin away by saying that he was very drunk.
However, tlndiug that he had lieen fleeced he pro
cured several policemen and had the prisoner ar
rested. He was searched, but nothing was found
upon him, and he always declared his Innocence,
and Unit the whole ati'air was a conspiracy against
him. On trial.

TuokiIuv, AugUHt 3, lSolt. (
The usual bank statement for tho past week Is
not very favorable to au easy money market, but Is
unite as much so as we had reason to anticipate.
There has beeu an Increase lu legal-tenders of
f 642,731, resulting, no doubt, from the operations lu
New York on Treasury purchases ot bonds. Tnere
is also an increase in deposits of fftl 1,327, which Is
au unusual occurrence of late. On the other hand,
the loans have fallen oir ."o9,247, which is rather a
whimsical course in the face of the increase In
means of over a million of dollars. This erratic
course is, iu part, attributable to the drain of the
outside banks during the week, which show au in
debtedness to our city Institutions ot t'72,9'.)n, and
is so much withdrawn temporarily from our market.
With all thlB, however, there is a conservative feel
ing among the banks, prompted by au anticipated
pressure for money during the coming month of
Hepteniber.
There Is no change In tho current rates for loans
or discounts, and it if needless to quote.
Hold Is decidedly weak to-day, opening at 135,V, at
which figure It was selling at uoon ou Third street, a
decline of
I nited States loans are rather quiet, and show a
decline on yesterday's closing quotations of about
per cent.
The Stoek market was exceedingly flat this morn
ing, and prices had a downward tendency. State
loans were without change. City sixes were steady,
with sales of the new certificates at 101 and the old
at !.
Heading Kailroad was dull and lower, selling at
4H ; Pennsylvania Kailroud was stronger, and sold
at 67; Mluehill Kailroad was taken at 64; and

THE NEW YOltK MONEY MARKET.
The following extracts show the state of the New
York money market yesterday :
From the Herald.
"Tho principal matter of interest In Wall street to
day was the public announcement through tho Hub.
Treasurer in this city of Secretary lioutwell's Inten
tions with regard to the purchase of bonds anil sain
J of gold during the current mouth. This announce
nifnf. wuh inuilu t'ftrlv in the duv bv a linn.. to. ........
In the Treasury Building, and was to the following
effect:
"The purchosss of bonds for the account of tho
Treasury during August will be as follows:
August 4 12,000,000
August 11 8,000,000
August 12 (sinking fund) l.ooo.ono
August 18 8,000,000
August 26 .. 8,0,000
August 26 (sinking fond) 1,000,000
The gold sales will be as follows:
August 6 1,000,000
August 19 1.000,000
"Bonds sold must bo delivered the day following
the sale. In case of failure to deliver tho bonds by
bidders within the time specified, they will be pur-
hased In the regular murket for account of tho
bidders.
"This last provision, which is simply the appllra
tion of the rule which prevails ou the Stock Ex
change to these transactions, appears to have been
forced upon the SuWrensurer by tho neglect of
smnc of the sellers upon the occasion of the lust pur
chases by the Government to make prompt delivery,
to the gnat Inconvenience of the Sub-Treasurer aud
the disturbance of his accounts.
"This announcement of tho Secretary's having
been already diseounteil.iil consequence of Its unoffi
cial publication upon such apparent excellent au
thority as to be almost undisputed, fulled to exer
cise any considerable effect upon tho market to-dav,
other than an advauce of to tf per cent, at the
morning call upon the closing prices of Saturday
night. The Ten-forties and the currency bonds,
which are not Included in tho Treasury purchases,
were the leading features of the list, the former ad
viiiiclng to lttiin iifli, for coupon, and the latter to
111 '.,(. Ill The demand (or these issues continued
thioughniit the day largely Irom banks, while It Is
said the supply in the market Is small. The five
twenties, ou the contrary, fell on slightly In the
afternoon upon a decline iu London from 837( to
S3 ';. The following were the closing figures at live
o'clock : I nited States ea, 1881, registered, 124 J
do. do., coupon, 124; do. 6-208, registered, 123 vA
Vay, do. do., coupon, I8t'.2, 12BV,(126 ' ; do. do.,

do. do., coupon, lltivlii, ; currency lionds, lll,l,
1 1 1 .
"The announcement of the Treasury operations In
tended for the mouth, which will place upon the
street a balance of nine and one-half millions,
caused an easier feeling In the money market early
to-duy, the ruling rate on call loans being five to slit
per cent., and prime discounts seven to nine per
cent, lu the confidence felt of this Increased ease
continuing, many brokers delayed in making up
their balances until lute In the afternoon, which
euuscd a little sharper inquiry towards tho close,
and transactions are. reported after banking hours at
seven per cent.
"The gold market was remarkably dull to-day and
free from speculative excitement. The premium
opeued at 13rt, and advanced d urine the day to
i:;i" V. falling oil' again during the session of the
board to 148','. The bulk of the transactions in the
room were at 1 xt Vt and 136'. with some few sales at
130'..., the dealings at the extreme figures being ex
ceptional. After the adjournment of the board the
premium declined to 13, and later to 136';, between,
which figures It teuiaiued steady until 6 o'clock,
when it touched and closed at 1361,. The sudden
decline toward the close was occasioned by a report
that bonds were 84 in London, as au uneasy feeling
growing out of a waut of confidence In recent bond
speculations almost caused tbe strong undertone
which prevailed iu the market most of the day.
"Foreign exchange Is quiet, without new features,
and closed steady at previous rates. We quote:
Sterling, 60 days' commercial, 109,V(109V ; good to
prime bankers', i9?4'l lo1, ; short sight, Uoliox ;
