THE BOAT RACE.
!lre About the International font cut -A SnlN.
factory Account or It- The Harvard lleaten
by Onf. Krnwih nnd a Half.
O. W. Smallcy, the Tribune's London corres
pondent, at midnight on Friday telegraphed a
long, and as yet tho most coherent account of
the lntcr-unlverslty race to that journal. For
eome cause, still in mystery, the report did not
arrive until the Saturday's papers were all issued.
It was printed this morning, however, aud from
it wo make the follow ing excerpts:
The defeat of tho llarvards lu tho interna
tional boat race was less than reported. As
reckoned on the press boat It appeared to be
four lengths, and I so telegraphed; but the
judge at Mortlakc, .Sir Aubrey Paul, personally
informs mo that the actual difference at the
the lini.sh was but one lenirth and a half. The
true time was 'Z'i minutes iiO seconds and three
fifths, as taken by Frodshain's chronograph,
registering independent fifths of seconds. This
is nearly lil seconds less than the time given bv
tho London reporters, but I took it myself, and
urn conlident it is accurate.
The vicinity of the White House, Harvard's
headquarters, was early thronged with Ameri
can?, but the morning was left judiciously quiet,
only a few ohHIarvard oars prominent among
whom were Caspar and Crowninshield a few
official representatives like Moran and Dudley,
mid a few personal friends of the crew, being
admitted; no others were allowed access. The
crew lounged restlessly about, enduring as best
they might a trial hauler than the nice the sus
pense of tho last few hours. Their condition
was less perfect than three days airo.
Mmmons nau uecn lor some time suffering
from diarrho-a slight, yet suflicicntlv alarming
in a man soon to pull as for dear life In a despe
rate struggle. Loring was still troubled with
boils, and was sallow-faced but clear-eyed, and
confident as ever. Fay and Lyman were both
overtrained. There was too much work during
the whole of last week for all the crew, and, us
a consequence, they went into the boat only
half fit.
Before 5 all London had gathered on the
river banks. Both crews came out promptly,
Oxford showing first three miuutes before 5, and
Harvard following.
Both crews were cheered as they came out,
and there was an unmistakable popular liking
for both. Harvard, with bronzed faces and
arms, contrasted strangely with Oxford's fair or
ruddy complexions. lu paddling down into
place, the style, as always, was all on the side of
Oxford, but the American physique excited uni
versal admiration.
The boats started abreast of tho umpire s
steamer. Blaikic gave the word "Go" at ex
actly fivo hours, lourteen miuutes, forty-one
seconds and two-fifths. The tide had almost
ceased running up, und the whole race was
rowed on nearly slack water. Harvard jumped
away at the word, Loring beginning with tho
impossible stroke of forty-six to the minute.
Durbishire, who will never be hurried, was eon
tent with forty. The pace was terrific from tho
start.
Harvard began almost immediately to lead,
drawing away from Oxford amid loud cheers
and rowing well together aud in better form than
ever before. At Craven Cottage they were full
half a length ahead, and thence to Crab Tree
kept steadily gaining. Both crews were doing
nil they wanted; but Oxford, which was never
under any stress, Increasing its measured stroke
of fortv to the minute, rowed with a precision
beyond all praise. Darbishirc is like a machine,
and is never Hurried by an opponent's lead.
Long before Hammersmith was reached, Har
vard, having a clear lead, Burnham should have
takeu Oxford's water; but trying to do so, he
grew nervous, sheered wild, seemed thcu to lose
his head, nnd never after regained his compo
sure, lie lost at least a length on tho whole
course. Oxford steered admirably well, making
a Btraight line from Crab Tree to the centre of
Hammersmith Bridge, aud thence did not lose
an inch to the end.
At Crab Tree, Harvard was a good length
ahead, the time being five minutes and fifteen
seconds. But here the pace began to tell. The
stroke had fallen from 4ti to 44 and 40, nnd then
went up again to 43. Flesh aud blood could
stand it no longer.
Beyond Crab Tree Oxford began to creep up,
and at the soap works were alongside. This
Loring would not suffer, but drove on his boat
with siiirit. and shot Hammersmith Bridge a
V length ahead once more, Durbishire impassively
pulling 4U to me miuuie, nun never getting
many inches astern of Harvard's rudder.
Tho bridge was a bedlam of varying shouts
and cheers for the two struggling crews. Har
vard passed under it in an unprecedented time
eight minutes and thirty seconds but olas aud
alas! tho effort had been not only .tremendous,
but desperate. To critical eyes tho race was lost
while Harvard was still a good length ahead.
Their rowing grew wild, their form, hitherto
good, was lost, their time forgotten, and
saddening symptoms of distress in the
American boat became evident not far
beyond Hammersmith, Oxford a second
time began to draw up on the lead
ing boat, uever accelerating their stroke, but
rowing with that final test of perfect oarsman
ship, a spirit without haste. It was the last
real struggle of the race. Harvard had little
left to answer Oxford's challenge, the dark blue
drew swiftly level, then ahead, then a full
length ahead, and off Chiswick Church took
Harvard's water. From that moment Oxford
had a clear lead. The race was over.
There remained two miles and more to row,
but the last chance and hope of Harvard was
gone. Thence they rowed on, as brave men will
row, a hopeless race a race they know to be
hopeless, und yet contest with heroic courage.
Burnham frantically threw water over Loring.
checking the boat without relieving the crew,
and his wild steering still went on.
Kurrnii'a lirldiro was missed in 18 minutes,
i Oxford apparently several lengths ahead, and
iiaivuru iuiu ppuiimw ii" - - .
bridge. To tell the plain truth, Ovford won as
theylikcd after passing Hammersmith. To the
passionate efforts of Harvard, Darbishirc was
content to respond w ith just ctlort enough to
keep the lead undiminished: ai.d so the two
brave fours rowed on.
At the final moment Loring, in no hope of
success, but for honors pure sake, rallied tho
last energies of his exhausted crew, and they
drew to within a length and a halt ot that still
vigorous, indomitable, masterly Oxford four.
And Within a length and a hall of opponents
whom they were bound to respect in defeat,
Oxford rowed steadily past the judge's boat as
the signal gun heavily boomed out victory to St.
(ieorge and defeat to the Ktars and Stripes.
From beginniug to end the race was fairly
rowed. There was no suspicion of n foul and
no reul trouble. Tho course was kept perfectly
open, and no attempt was made to obstruct
cither crew. The umpires, referees, starter, and
police all did their work perfectly. Neither
from spectators nor from the crews was there
any hint of unfairness. Harvard frankly own
themselves lairly beaten.
Why were they beaten? For many good rea
sons. The hour'of their defeat and chagrin is no
time to Bay harsh things, no" would any one
wish to do bo; but the truth must be told. What
carried them bo well through such a race was
tbelr unparalleled physique and endurance. In
stvle. form, knowledge of rowliir. diet, method
' of training, and method of instruction, Harvard
was utterly interior 10 xtord.
Had tho race been won by them tho credit
would have belonged to Loring, tho captain and
despot of the crew. Being lost, he must equally
bear the blame. A man of extreme sclf-relbinee.
which, partially neutralises his high iuuhvl,e8 of
Intelligence, generous devotion, and real capa
city, but experience limited by knowlodgo of
American rowing only, he persisted In adhering
to American methods.
He would coach the crew himself from the
Inside of the boat, a thing radically impossible
to do. He would not change the diet of the
crew, although tho climate required a change,
and the diet manifestly impaired his own and
Simmons' powers. It was sheer madness to go
on eating currants and milk in this or any cli
mate: but even diarrluca and other symptoms
could not effect a change lu the captaiu's stub
born opinion.
To have taken Blaikic or any other good
coach on a steamer during the last three weeks
would have added 20 per cent, to Harvard's
chance. Blaikic is not responsible for my
opinion, nnd probably disagrees with it, but it Is
true nevertheless, llarvard upon arriving had
nearly every fault a young crew 'could have,
and retained many at the last moment. Good
coaching would in three weeks have eradicated
most of them.
Harvard's stroke was fatally quick and fatally
irregular. During the race it varied from 40 to
:W varied ofteen twice in W seconds. With a
coxswain, no living crew could have pulled the
s.trokc with which Loring led oft through four
miles. In fact the crew was rotved to a stand
still. In less than two miles their power win
gone. Alter that it was only heroiecourage and
resolution that carried them through: nnd a sys
tern that exhausts tho crew at the end of two
miles in a four-mile race cannot be sound.
Although tho race is lost, it is no discredit to
them. All England admires their gallantry,
simplicity, and quiet good sense. In the be
havior which Harvard has shown, nothing could
be better than their demeanor from tho begin
ning of the project. J opposed their enterprise
as Quixotic, but alter their defeat I acknowledge
my mistake, nnd affirm that no American need
regret their attempt. Laurels of victory do not
crown their daring, but universal applause re
wards their sincere endeavor.
Harvard has been beaten by the finest four
ever seen on the Thames. So perfect was their
condition that Oxford could have rowed tho
race again half an hour afterwards. In fact,
after tho race was over, they rowed down to
Putney, keeping pace with tho Press steamer,
llarvard came down on the umpire's boat, and
an hour's rest brought them round. Iu the Ox
ford boat, us they rowed down, no distress was
diseovernablc. To have led such a crew over
nearly half the course was itself on honor touch
ing The highest. Harvard accept their defeat
nianlully, make no complaint and no apology.

XArOLEOX I.
The Crntpnary Celebration of the Itlrtli of the
Mrnl iiiilcou The report ami l'liKcitnin.
GatignanVa Messenger of Paris, under date of
the 15th of August, contains a very ample report
of the sports und pageants which were indulged
in during tne centenary jrie day ot Jsapoleon 1,
on .Sunday. We extract the followlngparagraphs:
me various amusements on Bunttay were
favored with delightful weather, the sun not
fcirwr t rr nnwni'f ill nnrl n nrnnfln liriti'n Til r ii rn
occasionally to cool the air. The capital Lad,
however, on the preceding day assumed its ap
pearance of festivity, bright-colored Hags being
hung out in all the principal thoroughfares; and
as the visits of the various sovereigns and
I. . . i.!L'i- i j
princes in me year oi me rcai cxiuuiuon nau
furnished Paris with the banners of almost
every European nation, such emblems were dis
played very freely and added to ths animation
of the scene. The arrivals of strangers during
the preceding week had been extremely nume
rous, so that this great mass of spectators, added
to the vast crowds which the Sunday left
unoccupied, formed an enormous mul.itudo
of sight-seers on all the priucipal points
of tho fih: Considerable changes had been
made in the general arrangements, as tho open
ur theatres, climbing poles, ana snows were
ilaccd iu the Champ de Mars, and the fireworks
let off on the Place (lu Trocadero. Those two
modifications appear to have been well ima
gined, first, because the petty dealers in the mu
nicipal stalls complained last year unit tlicy
scarcely paid their expenses w lieu fixed on tho
high grounds opposite tho Pout de Jena; aud.
next, because a certain danger was connected
with a pyrotechnic display, as has been the case
tor some years past, in a narrow space sur-
ounded with buildings, nice the place adiolning
the Arc do Triomphc. As to the illuminations,
they were, as usual, everywhere, but principally
n the Garden ot the i uiiencs, the i lace do la
Concorde, the Champs Elysees and the neighbor
hood of the Champ do Mars.
1 he arrangement ot the various proceedings
was the same as on former occasions. At 0 in
the mrning the cannqn of tho Invalides an
nounced that tho file had commenced, aud im
mediately after a distribution of alms and pro
visions was made in the twenty arrondissemeut
of the capital to such aged and necessitous per
sous as required assistance, tho whole expense
of this act of beneficence being defrayed from
the Emperor's privy purse. The troops in tho
various barracKS were anowcu au uumwim
quantity ot wiue, and all, except those indis
pensably required for duty, were allowed to
leave their quarters and remain out until l:i
o'clock at night. A similar permission was given
all over tho empire, as tne day is universally
celebrated in France; and in the large garrison
towns, such as Met, Nancy, Hlrasburg, uourges,
Grenoble. Chalons, Keiincs, Toulouse, Toulon,
Algiers, etc., fireworks prepared by the troops
were let off, collecting together largo crowds of
spectators and leading to a very considerable
circulation oi money.
At about 10 o clock the old soldiers of the
First Empire collected on the Place Vcudoine iu
their strange uniforms, and. getting into order,
walked round the column, on the iron railing of
which the wreaths of immortelles had been re
newed. Thev afterwards proceeded to the
chapel of the Invalides. to attend a special ser
vice penormed lucre at 11. At 1 a solemn mass
was celebrated in the culherdul of Notre Dauie.
u presence of deputations from the Senate,
Council of State and Legislative Body, a great
number i.t civil and military officials, and a large
general congregation. A Te Drum was sung
and the Jtumim- Salcum followed; and similar
services were given in all other churches of
Paris. We may mention that in the largo towns
of the departments the religious ceremonial is
even more solemn, the richest robes being worn,
the most splendid church ornaments exposed to
view, and the processions being remarkable for
their magnificence, lor t lie 15th of August Is
likewise the great church festival of tho As
sumption. One of Hie greatest attractions of tho day to
the working classes Is undoubtedly the gratui
tous performances at tho theatres; and in order
to obtain places thousands are contented to re
main long, weary hours outside, whatever may
be the state of the weather. The practice was
not departed from on tho present occasion, and
at the piineipal houses long files of spectators
might be seen collecting at tho doors trom eight
in the morning. At one, when the doors were
opened, the great mass rushed in. and live
minutes after every place was occupied. No
more attentive or 'better conducted audiences
can anvwhere bo foiiud. or more alive to every
point of excellence iu tho piece or ot fine uctmg
Iu the performers. Q ,
Boat races took place at two on tho Seine,
between tho bridges of the Alma and lena, aud
continued until nearly five. Largo crowds col
lected at both sides ot tho river to witness tne
proceedings. , , n
The popular portion of tho fete was held on
fin Mars, at the cud near tho r.coio
Milltairc. Along the sldo next the riyer were
,. ,,.. iu., .o .f wmuii'ii Ktjills with a wide
road between, and in these were displayed ior
sale all the cheap wares that are generally seen
at couutry fairs. Parallel with the Ecolo were
to bo Been re,f-eijiuient booths, uuuclU!? wuv,
shows of various kinds, two theatres for panto
mimes, and six climbing-poles, bearing each, as
usual, a gold watch, silver spoon and fork, gob
let of tho same metal, and a meerschaum pipe,
to reward the exertions of tho successful com
petitors. The theatres gave this year episodes
of the war In Egypt under tho First Napoleon,
and as the customary quantity of gunpowder
war consumed, and tho French proved con
stantly victorious, the representations seemed to
give great satisfaction. All this part of the
ground was set out with flag-staffs displaying
trl-eolorcd streamers, and with stands bearing
many colored oil glasses for the evening's Illumi
nation. As only a very small portion of tho
Champ de Mars was taken up with the stalls and
shows, all the rest wan left available for tho
general multitude who might wish to witness
the display of fireworks let off from tho
Place du Irocadero opposite. The crowd was
exceedingly large iu this neighborhood through
out the day, but increased particularly towards
four o'clock, and continued to gain numbers un
til dusk. The display of fireworks took placo
on the Trocadero, and commenced at nine
o'clock, with 100 bombs nnd H00 rockets, then
sixteen clusters, or rather volcanoes, vomiting
fortli serpents, :(K) petards and !J00 grenades; the
second portion consisted of twelve revolving
cascades of many colored fire, placed on the
landings of the steps, leading to tho top of tho
height, and six fountains of fire on the flat
ground above, six discharges of fireballs, 200
Bengal lights, a repetition of the volcanoes and
H(HI 'petards: the third was composed of l'JOO
Koman candles, 1(100 serpents and two flights of
rockets and fireballs, bursting lu the air and
disappearing in showers of fire of every imagi
nable hue. Afterwards came tho grand bouquet,
of !2(,()(M) rockets, producing a most splendid
effect and two others by way of farewell the
one a shower of gold nnd tho last a superb dis
play of silver fire.
COUNTERFEITING.
How It I Curried On- Revolution in Detroit
An Interfiling Kxuose.
The Detroit Post has the following: "Fred
crick Peters, formerly of this city, was examined
on Wednesday (August 25) before United States
Commissioner Mandell, on a charge of counter
feiting United States coin. The defendant was
arrested last soring for robbing the post office at
Ann Arbor. He was held for trial, but subse
quently pleaded the penitent so strongly, and
nude such apparently honest promises of refor
mation, that the proceedings against him were
dropped, and he was allowed to go unpunished.
He went to East fagiuaw, where lie lias since
been employed as a grave-stone cutter. A few
days since he was again arrested, charged, this
time, with making spurious coin. Tho testimony
against him is that of Henry B. Farringtou. who
testifies that lie witnessed the niakiug of the
coin, aud produces in court the dies used in the
operation.
'This Farringtou is a watchmaker, living in
Saginaw City. His family live in the lower part
of a building, iu the upper part of which he has
a watch-repair shop, and it was in this shop
that ho testifies the spurious coin was made. It
appears that Farringtou does not enjoy a first
class reputation. About eight years ago he
served a term of one year iu the State Prison
for passing a counterfeit tcu-dollar bill. Since
that time he has been suspected of being impli
cated in various unlawful operations iu connec
tion with counterfeit money. He has twice been
arrested. On the occasion of his last arrest,
about a year and a half ago, ho was admitted to
bail, and it was understood that the proceedings
against him would bo dropped on condition that
he would detect certain parties engaged in cir
culating counterfeit money in the Saginaw
region," and that he would turn up $20,00:) of
counterfeit money on the Liuderpark Bank of
New York, supposed to bo in tho possession of
one Ben Ballard. Since that time he has boon
operating in conjunction with the United States
detectives; has made reports of his doings to
them, and has operated iu accordance with their
suggestions.
Tho following Is the substance of his testimony
against Peters:
'"1 llrht met the defendant about the first of July
last on a street car between East Saginaw and Sagi
naw City; he asked me if m.v name was not l-'ar-rington
and I told him it was; be then asked me If I
was not in jail In Detroit at on Mine, and 1 told him
I was; he said he was there too for robbing a pist
olllce. We then entered into conversation, and ho
finally asked me if 1 would not. like to ro with him
in making counterfeit money; I said the ollle.ers hud
been persecuting, tno about this counterfeit money
business, and us I did not want the name without the
game, If there was any money lu It I was
going in for It. He said he could
make the best bogus coin of anybody In the
United States, and there was lots
of money In it, as he coulil sell it for fifty cents on
the dollar; I told id m he could have the use of my
shop and tools to see what he could do; we made au
appointment of a day on which he was to come to
my house and make some of the coins; he came the
next Sunday; think It was the second Sunday In
July; he brought with him a young man who works
in a harness shop In East Saginaw, whose name I
do not now remember; they worked together lu my
shop, and made about four quarts of coins; Peters
brought the dies with him ; they were made of planter
of Paris. (The dies were produced In court, ami
fully Identified by the witness.) 1 kept these dies
after Peters got through; put them into my bench
drawer, and a day or two afterwards brought them
to ihe I nited States District Attorney.
"The coins made were half and quarter dollars.
The materials used were tin, antimony, and lead. I
luriiislicd chips, lire, and lead, aud Peters furnished
uie rest, lie Bant the coins were not very good, be
cause the moulds were damp, but that alter the coins
were galvanized nobody could detect them. I fur
nished him silver ami acids to gulvuni.e them.
Peters said he wanted to use some of the coins and
took them with li i in. and some he left with me.
'lliose which he left. Willi me 1 took to Midland to
show certain parties there. They said they wanted
loaeewhat kind of a workman Peters was; that
if lie was skilful enough at making counter
Icils they would admit him to their associa
tion. They pronounced the work very poorly done.
(A qmmtlt'y of spuii ius coins was exhibited to the
court.) I'annot identify any of these coins as the
ones made by Peters; did not mark any of those
coins, anil did not keep any or them in my posses
sion. These resemble the coins made by him, but.
do not look us well, having been oxydUe'd by expo
sure to the ttir. These coins do Hot look very well
now, but after they have been gulvanl.ed it would
be haul to distinguish them Irnm the genuine coins.
They have the proper weight, hardness, and ring.
Dtiputy United States Marshal H. G. Blau
chard testified that since the release of Farring
tou, a year and a half ago, ho has been acting
under the direction of the United S.ates Mar
shal for ferreting out couute: feilcrs."
Kl-KLUX AUAIX.
Until Upon Lebanon, Teniicfoee.
The Lebanon (Tim'iessee) Utrald (Conserva
tive) says: "Our usually quiet city was thrown
into some excitement about 'i o'clock on lliurs
dny night, by the sudden and unexpected ap
pearance on our streets of some forty or iilty
Ku-Klux, or disguised men. They were nil well
mounted and armed. They entered the city on
the South side, halted at several houses, got
water, conversed with several of our citizens
who happened to bo up at that Into hour, but
bciug masked, and changing their voices,
none of them were recognized. They ac
costed several colored men, questioned them
about what thev had been doing, examined their
persons to see" if they were urnicd, and then
passed on. They went to the house of Arch
Ward, a colored barber, and took from lilin a
pistol. They then proceeded to the residence
of Mr. Peters and wife, who are engaged in
teaching tho colored schools in this place, and
knocked at tho door. Mr. Peters opeuod tho
door aud asked what they wanted. They said
they wished to see tho man of tho house. Mr.
Peters presented himself, when they asked him
what he was doing there. Mrs. Peters responded
that she and her husband were enguged in teach
ing school. They asked what they were teaching
their scholars? Mrs. Peters replied that they
were teaching them to read aud write, and
politeness, and obedience to God. One of tlicui
replied tliat they were God, and besides them
selves there was none other. After some other
conversation, Mr. Peters was struck two or three
times with a small cane or switch, inflicting no
injury, however. Exacting a promise from Mr.
Peters to leave in one week, tho party left. We
obtained the above statement from Mr. and
Mrs. Peters in person, whom we called to
see early Wednesday morning. They spoko
in rather high terms of tho leader of tho
party, and expressed the apprehension that but
for him something serious would probably have
occurred. They declined to tell us nil that hap
pened. Mr. Peters has been here but a short
time, and so far as we can learn, has becu a
very quiet, Inoffensive man. Many of our citi
zens did not know that such a being w as In
existence until Wednesday morning, and upon
diligent inquiry if he has been guilty of any
crime, we have not been made aware of it."

The tono of tho money market is firm, with a
manifest stringent tendency among the banks,
though no scarcity Is felt on the street. This feature

wants by negotiating long time loans to cover the
period of possible stringency. The crop Movements
mid the general activity of trade at tins time are ex
ercising a severe pressure on the market, and make
It rule close and llrm.
Call loans are rather out of favor with business
borrowers, and the rates are comparatively easy at
7 per cent.., but discounts are nominal, being con
trolled as much by the circumstances of the appli

THE NEW YHKK flfOXEY MA It It ET.
The following extracts show the state of tho New
York money market on Saturday :
from the Herald.
"The money market during the past week was
easier than during the preceding week, despite the
fact that we are nigh the season when the customary
drain of funds takes placo to the West and South
to move tbo corn and cotton crops. Tho batiks have
lust but a trilling amount in legal-tenders, but the
amount sent lu national currency is not easily ascer
tained, except through an analysis of the item of
deposits. The fact Is, the city has been largely
supplied witn money durlug tne Rammer, and capi
talists have manifested an luditl'oreuoo about em
ploying tluMr funds on other than sumll loins.
Hence we Und the rate of aiscouut on commercial
p .per ranging frm nine per cent, upwards, wid e
the street rate for money has been oul five to six
and seven. Again, ihe crops are rep irted
t.vo weeks behludlimd, while the cottou re
c qits have been small. The demand will coTie
with all the more force for the present de
ferment, but It remains to be seen whether tne
city will not be able to meet it. and yet leave au
abundance for our local wants. Wall street always
discounts the future. This tendency Is witnessed in
the engagements which are being made everyday
for time loans on stocks and other collaterals for
periods of thirty aud sixty days. There Is more
than usual for use on call. Of course the supply is
not what it was a year ago, when the rate had
fallen to three and four per cent., but it was
large In comparison with the spring months.
Without an lneieu.se of the circulation by the Gov
ernment or the sanction of additional national
banks our city can uever hope to return to the
ubnndant supply of the yeuri Immediately succeed
ing the war. The building of the Pacific Kallroad,
the growth of new tow us and enterprises in the
West, the revival and expenditure of the cotton
growing Interest In the South, ami the thousand and
one oilier undertakings wherein capital has sought
investment Willi the return of pec to the country,
hrtvedrssenilnate.il tin) currency wmu uuu lar over
the whsle land. Millions have thus gone away
which will never return. Such is the situation In
which the metropolis finds herself at the begin
ning of tho full Benson of 1S09. The churd'-ter
of (lie activity that will attend the money market
dining the ensuing two or three months is
then-lore on Interesting problem. As to the amount
required for moving the crons the calculations
thereof should take into consld -ration the f;iet that
if Hie crops are more abuii'iMUt thu year the price
oi corn und wheat fs nearly fifty per cent, less
than lUKt year. The yield of cotton Is expected to
lie much larger, perluips by hair a million of bales
and t he price Is higher, owing to the failure of foreign
markets to obtain their supply of the staple from
oilier sources than tho I'nlted StateH
and owing also to the increasing home
consumption In our manufactories. will
the requirements of this increase In the
amount and t.rlce of cotton otfset the decreaso in
the value of the Western crops? Wall Btreet Is not
very apprehensive of stringency. Among stock
hi. uses, with whom the demand Is so constant, the
disposition Is to make preparation lor the full
uelivltyby time loans. If this movement becomes
general, the period will pass without, the spasms so
usual ut the season. There were during the week
luiiit currents lu the local market depending
on the changes iu the quotations or stocks
and under the 'bullish' feeling of Weduesduy
and Thursday tho rate on call was six to
seven per cent., with a good many transactions
id, the higher figure. The bank statement is not a
favorable one, but still is fair for the time of year
The shipments of currency during tho vcek were
light, und the decrease hi legal tenders only a littiu
over a quarter of a million of dollars. Thu toast
nattering Item Is the decrease of two aud a quarter
millions In -specie, accounted for by the customs
payments and by the transfer of gola on California
account. The loans have been contracted one aud
three-quarter millions, and tho dep'islts have fallen
oil three and amiartcr millions.
"The decrease in the amount held by the banks lu
excess of the legal reserve Is 11,578,813.
"The ease in money aud the firmness of the gold
market made Government bonds very utrong, the
Improvement during the week being quite percepti
ble fn some of the Issues. The decline In gold In
the previous week rendered the market unsettled at
the opening, but tho scarcity of bonds and the pur
chases by the Treasury soon obviated tho feellnaf
which this fact produced, especially ss the tendency
of gold was also to higher figures. The Investment
demand ran largely on the six per cent, currenclo
and the ten-forties, which from the rapid advance m
five-twenties, have attracted more general attention
and came quite largely from savings banks and other
banking and trust Institutions to whom It was urged
that the next Congress will doubtless do something
towards a reduction of the national debt. The funded
debt at this time amounts in round numbers to $2,100,
000. Of this sum the greater part (tl,s.s,oi:),00) hears,
six percent, gold Interest. Of the remainder, $221,000,.
000 bear live per cent, gold Interest, and about
$00,000,000 bear six per cent, currency interest, of
th first named, or six per cent, gold-bearing debt,
no less than $l,oo,ooo,ooo, or three-fourths of the
whole, consist of the several Issues of live-twenties.
The right, to pay oif the principal has already ni
tn red upon the whole of the UviMwenty Issues of
1H02 and 1S64, amounting to $o(0,iko,()ik), or more
than a third of the whole, whllo the right to retire
the remaining series will mature In 1870, is72,
and 1H73, respectively. Iu a similar wav
the right to redeem the $ioo,ooo,ooo of
ft per cent, ten-rortics will belong to the (Iovernment
in 1874. On Saturday governments at the opening
were 'on from the highest figures of the week, lu
consequence of the contradictory anil distracting
reports of financial matters In Europe, where I'nlted
States securities wore variously quoted. With the
strength In gold and the real scarcity of bonds in the
home market prices recovered and closed firm."

A Hrnlien-liciirtcd Quern.
In nn interesting Paris letter wo liud the fol
lowing: This mysterious announcement Is going the
rounds of the newspapers: "It Is rumored
that Queen Maria l'ia (of Portugal), being no
better iu health, will, by her physicians' ad
vice, indefinitely prolong her stay" abroad, und
tlx her rct-idence at the Court of King Victor
Emanuel." Under this sentence lies the
story of a broken-hearted Queen. There are
lnvstcrics about the Court of Lisbon which I can
not fathom. The Queen herself has been, per
haps still is, unpopular amoii'' her adopted
people. She was by them burned In elllgy a few
months since, llcr domestic sorrows How
trom the public Infidelity of her husband,
whose mistress, a woman of rank, makes
oflcnsive display of her influence In court circles.
The King ot Piirtugal is undcarablu In social life.
Conceited, shallow, obstinate, selfish, and heart
less, he demonstrates, In his own person, that
minor vices much moro than greater vices dis
qualify a inau for the ordinary relations of Hie.
His wife has, for some time, been in a decline.
She has been wasting away without apparent
cause. Whut physician can probo the heart,
or make thorough diagnosis of the mind i
The body is all his kingdom. Her medical
attendants recommended travelling. When she
quitted Lisbon she was so weak she had to
be bomo in a litter to the steamship, tihe
has been gradually recovering strength,
and the above announcement would look as if
she meant to retain It. I may add, to show tho
mysteries of this history, the King and QiKieu
were desirous Marshal Saldanha, their .Minister
here, should accompany the Queau during her
tour. He positively declined to do so. Me de
clared to his frleuds here nothing could tempt
him to undertake such uu olllce.
