The trespass notices Mr. Kessler had pat np en aoeoant of being annoyed by parties who fished en his premises and damaged his property.

Ic rails teTaka Vlaca Altttoesh Welt Adver tised ljr the Manager, Fer some time put Charley Breeke, oelored, who la better known u "Gutter snipe," has had an Idea In his hesd that be should manage a cake-walk. He set upon last evening as ihe time and Mroanercbor hall tbe place for tbe event, and for a week past behu been busy making Inquiries hew mueh the cost et an advertisement In tbe newspapers would be. He con cluded net te wMte his money thus foolishly, but te advertise hla attraction himself, as he could de It very cheap. In tbe afternoon he procured a large and email drum belonging te tbe oelored band, and formed aldrum corps. Charlie, who Is about six feet tall, played the email Instrument, and he gave the 'bull' drum te a little wblte boy. They presented a funny appearanee as they marahed; down Eut King street, and were utterly unable te beat time. The large drum had much the beat of Ita beater, and when tbe little fellow struck It he would almost fall In the gutter. It then required some time te recover and Charley I would be some dis tance ahead, la addition te the task of beating tbe drum tbe small boy waa obliged le carry a banner. Thinga were net straightened out mntll Centre Square wu reaebed, when a number of ether boys were secured te aid In handling tbe big drum. This queer parade had the effeet of draw ing a small audience te Mroanercber hall. The people present waited a long time, but were fleally dismissed, as tbe walk did net oemo oil. Charley had sufficient money te pay tbe rent but net te pay the musicians. He thought or using bis drum corps for the walkers, but found tbat would net de and he abandoned the entertainment.

Business hM made fair progress during the past week, and at most points the prospects for farther Improvement Is considered geed. Bat damage te the cotton crop by wet weather hu caused hesitation la portions of ths Seuth, while the outward movement of geld at New Yerk Is net encouraging In speculation. Notwithstanding the enor mous supply of curreney In circulation ths Eastern reserves are net se Urge that geld erpertsmay notrreduco some embarrass mrnt If continued, The engagements et geld for expert amount te 12,730,000 for the week, and bankers leek for a oentlnuanoe of the outgo unleu oendltlons change materially. The Immediate eause Is net the ststs of mer chandise trade, for of late experts have ex ceeded imports In spite of the stoppage of wheat shipments, but the sales of securi ties en foreign aoeoant, whleh for some time have exceeded purchases. A change In the temper et Investors might result from a settlement et rata wars, but at present foreigners uonet seem te regard. American railways with the confidence formerly shown, In part because of their damaging competition and In part because the effects or the Inter-state act are thought serious. Under oentinued sales thestoek market hu deellned en the average about 1 1 per shire. The 'he experts of bread'tntTa from Atlantic perta have been only 130.372 bu'hels wheat In three weeks, svalnat 1,989,328 bushels last veer, snd 408.487 barrels Heur sealnat C76.C98 lut year, with an I nor ease of 850.0C0 bushels oern. The cotton movement is large, but still mueh behind last year's. Removal of dutlea In Portugal caused smsll shipments of wheat thither, bat from ether markets the current price still excludes Atlantle wheat, though the decline here has been 4 cents ter the week with ssles el 30,000,00u bushels. Cern and eats have soareely ebsnged. Ferk and hogs are a abade lower with lard stronger. Noehange appears In cotton ; an estimate that the yield Is 7,200,000 bales does net aoeord with aoceuuts or Inqury In several Southern states. Coffee dm advanced half a cent with ulea 403.000 bags, snd oil is praetlcallv unchanged with refined a abade lower. Business is satisfactory or Improving at all northwestern points reporting end. money ls;in geed supply, unleu Cleveland, wnere some stringency appears, de reck oned an exception. Collections stall points seem fairly satisfactory and at many Im provement la noted. Frem parts of the Seuth much less encouraging reports are coming. Wet weather hu injured much cotton and caused some anxiety ; at Mem phis trade does net Improve and dealers ere mere anxious about collections than about sales. Tbe extent of Injury Is notaeoarately estimated, but tbe heavy Investments In new enterprises throughout the Seuth ren der that section naturally mere sensitive when a set back Is threatened. The anthraelte trade at New xerk Is dull snd weak, with demand slackening, and at Pittsburg suspension of Monengobela mining, December 1, Is attributed te ob structions en tbe rivers. The oeke trade la active, with mere evens building. The Carnegie and Cambria companies, with tbe Pennsylvania company have taken orders for 45,000 tens or steel rails at (28, and ether Eutern mills have refused $27,50, deliv eries for tbe year te November 1, being 1,029, 170 tens, But bar Iren la irregular In price, and Southern sales et pig at the East are checked by unwillingness of railroads te guarantee present rates for the future. In the dry goods business there Is com parative Inactivity, but a large auotlen of woolens, whleh realized low prlees, brought together many buyers. Tbe great activity and advance of about 2 eenta In wool en courages hope tbat the trade In dry goods will improve, end some Improvement Is already seen in hosiery and In some light weight goods. Cottens are generally steady, with some discounting en wide sheetings. Print cloths are unchanged. The beet and shoe trade improves, with leather Irregular, In tbe silk manufacture It Is reported tbat tbe year's produe'.ion equals 145,000,000 In value, about ball the entire consumption. The treasury hu paid eat only (200,000 mere than It has taken In during the week, and the Interior demand ter money hu alaekened. But cleariega ahew a slightly amaller column et business, outslde et New Yerk, than thst et last year, with a decline et 14 per cent, here, and about 0 per cent at Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore and Cincinnati. Tbe experts ter three weeks fall 4 per eent. below last year's at New Yerk, with Imports 3 per eent. below, which points te a considerable excess of ex ex eorts ever Imports ter the month. But It foreign realizing en American Investments continues, tbe state of the merchandise trade will net prevent some outgo of specie.
