CHEIS1IAS HCJIILITI KECESSAKI J rECUtTSLIGRAM TOTni niBrATcn Brooklyn, September2S. IntbeBrook- lyn Academy ot Music to-day Dr. Talniace I began a series of sermons on bis recent journey to the Holy Land. The subject of to-dav's sermon was: "My First Day in Palestine." Alter appropriate passages of Scripture were read, the congregation sang with great spirit: AVe praise tbec, O God. for the Sod of thy love. For Jesus w bo died and is now cone above. The text was: I. Kiugs 10.7, "The half wan not told me." This is the first sermon in a course of Sab bath morning sermons on "My Recent Journey Through the Holy l.anU and Neighboring Countries What I Saw and What I Learned." Out of the 64.OOU.000 of our present American population and the millions of our past, only about 5,000 have eTer visiteJ the Holj Lnnd. Of all those who cross to Europe, lc-s than five per cent ever get as far as Rome, and and less than two per cent ecr get to Athens and less than a quarter of one per cent ever get to Palestine. Of the less than a quarter of 1 per cent who do go to the Holy Land, some see nothing but the noxious insects and the 21th of the Oriental cities, and come back wishing tbej had never gone. Of those who see much of interest and come home, only a small poraon can tell what they have seen, the tongue unable to report the e e. The rantv of a successful, intelligent and happy journey through the Holy Land is verv marked. But tho time approaches when a journey to Palestine will be lorum n. Thousands will go where now there are scores. Two locomotives were recentlj sent up from Joppato Jeru-alcm and railroads are abont to begin in Palestine, and the day wi'lcome when the cry will be, "All out for Jerusalem!" "Twenty minutes lor breakfastat Tiberias'" "Change cars forTjre! "Giand Trunk Junction for Nineveh!" "All out lor Damascus!" SHORTENING THE DISTANCE. Meanwhile the wetlocks of the Atlantic Ocean and Adriatic and Mediterranean seas are being shorn, and not only is the voyage short ened, hut, after a while, without crossing the ocean, j ou or your children will visit the Holy Land. A company of capitalists have gone up toBehring Straits, where the American and Asiatic continents come within 36 miles of meeting. These capitalists or others will build a bridge across those btraits. for midway are three islands called "The Dioniedes." and the water is not deep and is never disturbed with icebergs. Trams of cars will run from America acruss that luide and on donn through Liberia, bringing under more immediate ob servation the Russian outrages against exiles and consequently abolishing them, and there are persons here to-day who, without one qualm of sea sickness, w ill visit that v. onderf ul land where thethnst-like, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Dandle, fcolomonic and Herodic histories over lap each other with such power that by the time 1 took my feet out of the sunups at the close of the journey I felt so wrung out with emotion that it seemed nothing else could ever absorb my feeliugs again. The chief hindrance for going to Palestine with many is the dreadtul sea, and tnoaeh I have crossed it ten times it is more dreadful ccn time, and I full) sympathize with what was said one night when Mr. Beecher and I went oer to speak in New York at the anni versary of the Seamen's Fnendbociety.andibe clergyman making the opening prayer quoted iromfcu John "Ihere shall be no more sea." and Mr. Beecher, seated beside me. in memory ot a recent ocean vojugc said- "Amen, 1 am glad of that." Bj tie partial abolition of the Atlantic ocean and the putting down of rall tracLs across every country in all the world, the MOST SACKED LAND ON EAETH will come under the observation of so many people, who will be ready to tell of what they saw, that infidelity will be pronounced only an other form of insanity, lor no honest man can Tisit the Hoi Land and remain an infidel. This Bible from which I preach has almost fallen aparr, fori read fro.n it the most of tbo crams m it recorded on the very places where they occurred. And some of the leaves got wet as the waves dashed over our boat on Lake Galilee, and the book was jostled in the saddle bags for many weeks, but it is a ncn hook to me. newer than any book that yesterday came ontofanvof our great printing houses. All my life I had heard of Palestine, and I had read about it, and talked about it, and prayed about it, and di earned about it until mj antici pations were piled up into something like Himalayan proportions, and jet I have to cry out, as did the Queen of Shebauhen she first iisited the Holj Laud. "The half was not told me." In order to make the more accurate and vivid a book I hare been writing, a life of Christ, entitled "From Manger toihrone," I left home last October, and on the last night of .November we were walking the decks of the Senegal, a Mediterranean steamer. It was a ship of im mense proportions. Never was I so impatient for a night to pass. I could not see much use for that night, anyhow I pulled aside the curtain from the port-1 ole of my stateroom, so that the first hintot oaun would waken me. But it was a useless precaution. Sleep was among the impossibilities. Who could be so stupid as to slumber when any moment there might start out within sight of the ship, the land where the most stupendous scenes of all time and all eternity w ere enacted, land of rnln and redemption, land where was fought the battle that made our heaven possible, land of Godfrey and Saladm, of Joshua and JesusT A VIEW OF JOPPA. On the back of bills 150 feet high Joppa is lifted toward the skies. It is as picturesque as it is quaint and as much unlike any city we have ever seen as though it were built in that star Mars, where a few nights ago this very September astronomers, through unparalleled telescopes, saw a snow storm raging. How Clad we were to be In Joppa! Why, this is the city where Dorcas, that queen of the needle, lived and died and was resurrected. You re member that the poor people came around the dead bod of this benefactress and brought specimens of her kind needlework ana said: "Dorcas made this," Dorcas sewed that." "Dorcas cut and fitted this," "Dorcas hemmed that." According to Lightfoot, the commen tator, they laid her out in state in a public room and the poor wruns their hands and cried and sent for Petei, who performed a miracle by which the good woman came back to life and resumed her bencfictions. An especial resur icction aay for one woman! She was the model by which many women of our day lme fashionedltheir lives, and at the first blast of the horn of the wintry tempest there appear 10,000 Dorcases, Dorcises of Brooklyn, Dorcases of Sew York, Dorcases of LondonDorcases of all the neighborhoods and towns and cities of Christendom, just as good as the Dorcas of the Joppa which I visited. Thank God for the cver-lucrea-ing skill and sharpness and speed and generosity of Dorcas needle! "What is that man doing!" I said to the drag oman in the streets of Joppa. "Oh. he is car rjing hi bed." Multitudes of the people sleep out of door, and that is the way so many in those lanrit become blind. It is from the dew ot the night falling on the eyelids. As a result of this, in Egypt, every twentieth person is totally bund. In Oriental lands the bed is made of a thin, small mattress, a blanket and a pil low, and when the man rises in the morning be just ties up the three Into a bundle and shoul ders it and takes it away. It was to that the eavmr referred when He said to the sick man, Tale up tnj bed and walk." An American couch or an English couch would require at letst four men to carry it, but one Oriental can easily manage his slumber equipment. THE HOME OF THE TA2JNEE. But I inhale some of the odors of the large tanneries around Joppa. It is there to this day, a prosperous business, this tanning of hides. And that reminds me of Simon, the tanner, who lived at Joppa, and was the host of Peter the Apostle. I suppose the olfactories of Peter weic as easily insulted bv the odors of a tannery as others But the Bible says: "He lodged with one bnnun, the tanner." People who co out to do reformatory and missionary and Christian work must not be too sensitive. Simon no doubt brought to his homestead every night the nulodors of the calfskins and ox hides in his tannery, but Peter lodged in that borne, not only because he may not have been in ited to the houses of merchant princes surrounded by redolent gardens, but to teach all men and women engaged in try ing to make the world better, they must not be squeamish and fastidious and finical and over particular in doing the work ot the world. The church of God is djingof fastidiousness. We cry over the sufferings of the world in hundred-dollar pocket handkerchiefs, and then put a. cent in the poor box. There are many willing to do Christian work among the cleanly and the refined and the elegant and the edu cated: but excuse them from taking a loaf of bread down a dirtv alley, excuse them from teaching a mission school among the uncombed and the unwashed, excuse them from touching the hand of one whose finger nail are in jaouraing for departed soap. Such religious piecUlonlsts can toil in atmospheres laden with honeysnckle and rosemary, bnt not in air float ing up from the malodorous vats. No, no, no ! excuse them from lodging with one Simon, the tanner. During the last war there were in Virginia some 60 or 70 wonnded soldiers In a barn on trie second floor so near the roof that the beat of the August snn was almost insupportable. The men were dying from sheer exhaustion and suffocation. A distinguished member of the Christian commission said to the nnrse who stood there, "wash the faces and feet of these men and it will revive them." "No," said the nurse, "1 didn't come into the army to wavhanj body's feet." "Well," said the dis tinguished member of the commission, "bring me water and a towel, I will be very glad to wash their feet." One was tho spirit of the devil, the other the spirit of Christ." DEMOCRACY OF BELIOION. Bnt reference to Peter reminds me that we must co to the housetop in Joppa where he was taught the democracy of religion. That was about the qnecrest thing that ever happened. On our way up to that housetop, we passed an old well where the great stones were worn deep with the ropes of the buckets and it must be a well many centuries old. and. I think, Peter drank out of it. Four or five goat orcilf skins filled with n ater lay about the yard. We soon got up the steps and on the housetop. It was in snch a place in Jonpa that Peter, one noon, while he was waiting for dinner, had a hungry fit and fainted away and bad a vision or dream or trance. I said to my family and friends on that housetop, "Listen while I read about what happened here." And openlne tho Bible, we had tho whole story. It seems that Peter on the housetop, dreamed that a great blanket was let down out of heaven, and in it were sheep and gnats and cattle and mules and pigeons and buzzards and snakes and all man ner of creatures that fly in the air or walk the fields, or crawl the earth, and in tne dream a voice told him as he was hungry, to eat, and he said: "I cannot eat things unclean." Three times he dreamed it. There was then heard a knocking at the gate of the house on the top of which Peter lay in a trance, and three men asked: "Is Peter heref Peter, while yet wondering what his dream meant, descends the stairs and meets these strangers at the gate, and the tell bim that a good man by tho name ot Cornelius, in tho city of Cajsarea. has also had a dream and has sent them for Petar and to ask him to come and preach. At that call, Peter left Joppa forCaesarea. The dream he had just prepared him to preach, for Peter learned by it to reject no people as unclean, and whercas.be previously thought he must preach onlv to the Jews, now lie goes to preach to the Gentiles who were considered nnclean. Standing here in joppa, I remember that where we this morning disembarked the Prophet Jonah embarked. For the first time in ruv life I fully understand that story. God told Jonah to go to Nineveh, but the prophet declined the call ana came here to Joppa. I was for weeks, whilo in the Holy Land, con sulting with tonrlst companies as to how I could take Nineveh in my journey. They did not en courage the undertaking. It is a most tedious ride to Nineveh, and a uesert. WHY JONAH REVOLTED. Now I see additional reasons why Jonah did not want to go to Nineveh. He not only re volted because of the disagreeable message he was called to deliver at Nineveh, but because it was a long way and tough and bandit-infested, so be came here to Joppa and took ship. But. alas, for the disastrous voyage! He paid bis full fare for the w hole voyage, but the ship comnany did not fill their part of the contract. To this day they have not paid back that pas sage money. Why people should doubt the story of Jonah and the whale Is more of a mys tery than the Bible eent itself. I do not need tho fact that Pliny, the historian, records that the skeleton ot a whalo 40 feet long, and with bide a foot and a half thick, was brought from Joppa to Rome. The event recorded in the Book of Jonah has oc curred 1,000 times. The Lord always has a whale outside tho harbor for a man who starts in the wrong direction. Recreant Jonah! I do not wonder that even the whale was sick of him But standing here on the housetop at Joppa, I look off upon the sands near the beach, and I almost exoect to find them crimsoned and incarnadined. But no; the rains long ago washed awavtho last sign of the Napoleonic massacre. Napoleon was marching on through the coasts. He had here at Joppa 4,000 Alha mans.who had been surrendered as prisoners of war, and under a promise of protection. What shall he do with them? It will be impossible fur him to take them along, and be cannot afford to leave soldiers enongh to guard tbem from escape, ft will not be difficult for the man who broke the heart of lovely Josephine and who. when asked if the great losses of life in his battles were not TOO DEAfi A PRICE to pay for his victories shrugged his shoulders mirthfully and said, "you most break the eggs if you want to make an omelet" I say, it will not be difficult for bim to decide. The prisoners of war, by bis order, are taken ont on the sands and put to death 1,000 of them. 2,000 of them, 3.000 of tbem, 4,000 of them, massacred: And the blond pours down into the sea, the red of the one mingling with the blue of the other, and making an awful maroon which neither God nor nations can ever forget. Ye who are fond of vivid contrasts, put the two scenes of Jonpa side by side, Dorcas with Tier needle, and the immortal butcher with his knife. Bnt standing on this Joppa housetop, I look off on the Mediterranean, and what is that strange sight I see? The waters are black, seemingly for miles. There seems to be a great multitude of logs fastened together. Oh, yes, it is a creat raft of timbers. They are cedars of Lebanon which King Hiram Is furnishing King Solomon in exchange for 20 000 measures of wheat, 20,000 baths of oil, and 20,000 baths of wine. These cedars have been cut down and trimmed in the mountains of Lebanon by the 70,000 axemen engaged there and with great withes and iron bolls are fastened together, and tbey are floating down to Joppato be taken across the land for Solomon's temple, now building at Jerusolem, for we have lost our hold on the Nineteenth ceutury and are clear back in the ages. The rafts of cedar are guided into w hat is called the Moon Pool, an old harbor, south ot Jonpa, now filled with sand and useless. With long pikes the timber is pushed this way and that in tbe water, then wun levers, ana many a loud, long "lo, heaver as the carters gel their shoulders under tbe great weight, tbe timber is fastened to tbe wagons and the lowing oxen are yoked to tbe load, and tbe procession of teams moves on with crack of whip and drawlcd-out words, which, translated, I suppose would correspond with the "whoa, haw. geeP of modern teams, ters, tow ard Jerusalem, which is 30 miles away, over mountainous distances, which for hun dreds of j ears defied all engineering. And these rough cedars shall become carved pillars and beautiful aitars and rounded banisters and traceried panels and sublime ceiling and exquisite harps and kingly chariots. As the wagon train moves out from Joppa over the plain of Sharon toward Jerusalem. I say to my self, what vast numbers of people helped build that temple of Solomon, and what vast num bers of people are now engaged in building the wider, higher, grander TEMPLE OP RIGHTEOUSNESS rising in the earth. Our Christian ancestry tolled at it, amid sweat and tears, and hundreds of the generations of the good, and the long train of Christian workers still moves on, and as in the construction of Solomon's temple some hewed with tbe ax in tbe far-away Lebanon, and some drove a wedge, and some twisted a withe, and some trod tbe wet and slippery rafts on the sea, and some yoked the ox, and some pulled at tbe load, and some shoved the plane, and some fitted tbe points, and some heaved npthe rafters, but all helped build the temple, though some of these never saw it, so now let us all put our bands andonr shoulders, and our hearts to tbe work of building the temple of righteousness, which is to fill tbe earth; and one will bind a wound, and another will wine away a tear, and another will teach a class, and another will speak tbe encouraging words, and all of us will be ready to pull and lift, and in some way help on tbe work until the millenlal morn shall gild the pinnacle of that finished temple, and at its shining gates tbe world shall pnt down its last burden, and in its layers wash off its last stain, and at its altars tbe last wan derer shall kneel. At tbe dedication of that temple, all the armies of earth and heaven will "shoulder arms," and "present arms," and "ground arms" for "behold a greater than Solomon is here." But my first day in the Holy Land is ended. The sun is already closing his eye for tbe night. I stand on tbe balcony of a hotel which was brought to Joppa in pieces from the State of Maine by some fanatics who came here expect ing to see Christ reappear in Palestine. My room here was once occupied by that Christian hero of the centuries English, Chinese, Egyptian, world-wide General Gordon, a man miehty for God as well as lor tbe world's pacification. Although the first of December and winter, tbe air is fall of fragrance from gardens all abloom and under my window are acacia and tamarisk and mulberry and century plants and orange groves ana oieanaer. rom the drowsiness of the air and the fatigues of tbe day 1 feel sleepy. Good night! To-morrow morning we start for Jerusalem. More Fishery Trouble. Halifax, September 28. A telegram from Charlottetown says: P. J. Hodgson, Q.

COMMERCIAL NOTES. Competition Among Flour Merchants the Death of Trade. MARGINS OP PROFIT ALMOST GONE. A Satisfactory Week's Trade in Lines of Country Produce. HIDES C0HTIXUE ON THE DECLINE OFFICE OF PlTTSBtXKQ DISPATCH, I SATURDAY, September 27, 1890. ( In Cerent Lltiei. There have been few changes in cereal lines so far as our local market is concerned during the past week. Receipts varied only two carloads from those of the previous week. Oats have been coming to the front in large quantities, but in spite of this fact markets continue firm with a tendency to higher prices. For some days markets have been almost bare of packing hay, and as a resnlt prices have advanced 51 50 a ton. This, however, is probably a temporary spurt, as there is plenty in the land, and other grades of hay are quiet. Corn and wheat remain at about the same 6gnre as at tbe beginning of the week, but flour has de clined 25c per barrel. Jobbers claim that the decline in flour here is relatively greater than In the West and that margins are about oblit- Competition Is so sharp and snch Is the eager ness to secure trade that Pittsburg flour mer chants, whilo always suro to suffer from fall ing markets, fail to secure the full advantage of rising markets as merchants of other trade centers do. Said a leading dealer: "Merchants of New "York and Chicago change thoir prices as markets change, while In this city many, in order to hold or gain trade, will sell at old fig ures when there has been an advance both East and West, and thus close out stock at prices for which it cannot be replaced. Tho cus tomer, however, is very quick to catch on when there is a reduction." Produce nnd Provision. Produce men report a satisfactory week's business. There has been a very heavy trade in grapes, according to general view the heaviest ever transacted here in a single week. The principal sources of supply are Northern Ohio and Western New York. Apples are com ing in freely from the West, and markets are a shade lower. Choice potatoes continue firm, with a prospect lor better prices. Demand is active for all good stock. The movement of dairy products shows increase the week past over the previous week, and this at an advance in creamery butter of 1c per pound. Mild grades of cheese are barely steady, and sharp stock is weaker. In tropical fruit lines a scarcity of Itmons and oranges is reported, with advancing markets. Bananas are poor stock, and likelv to continue so nntil the grape crop is worked off. The same rates which have prevailed in pro vision lines throughout tbo month were reaf firmed on Saturday for another week. Since Monday last there has been a sharp decline In tho price of nogs in our mantei, out prices here had beenlexceptionally high, as compared with Buffalo and other live stock centers. Se lected Pbiladelphias sold at East Liberty on Monday at S5 15, and tbe same grade were down to J4 85 on Wednesday. At no time this week did tops sell as high as $5 00 at Buffalo, where prices should range abont the same as in Pittsburg. BldeiVrrj Dnll. The hide market continues very dull at the reduction noted last week. Prospects are for another reduction within a few days, and already it is reported that concessions are being made at the reduced rates. According to latest advices from Boston tanners there are holding out for lower prices. Here trans actions have been unnually ltgbt the past week. Ihe markets of the country are" regu lated to a great extent bv the prices paid by Boston tanners, and there the markets are an nounced as Kc off from prices of last week. While prices nominally remain in this city as agreed on by tanners last Monday, real values are a shade lower. The following hopeful views of the financial outlook am from tho current number of the Chiistian Union: "Hallways are doing an enormous business, and if they were getting the old rates on this vast movement of traffic, they would be mak ing unprecedented earnings; as it is. with large reductions in carrying rates, railways are mak ing great increases in gross receipts, with mod crate increases in the net. Nor do tbese in creases seem to shrink in figures as we near the last quarter of the year. The returns for the two weeks in September, as reported by a long list of roads, are remarkable, for it must be re membered tbat the comparisons are beingmade with earnings of last year swellea far above those of the same period in 18SS W are getting increases on increases. This is not due to Western crops these are smaller in bulk but to a general activity in all direc tions. Vet so tar as Southern roads are con cernedroads tbat depend on the cotton crop there is every promise of a wonderful growth of business, for the cotton crop is, beyond question, the largest ever raised. Every South ern road is feeling the effect of this new crop: the prospects which it affords to general trade in the South are very bright: it acts as a vast stimulus, and now, as the cotton crop is moving to tbe centers and to tbe seaboard, the full ex tent of this fresh impetus will assert itself both in our domestic and foreign trade. "The creation of cotton bills of exchange is lowering rates in tbe exchange market until we are not far from gold import". We may reasonably expect to draw gold from tbe other side in October, or November at furthest; this outlook, together with the final laying of tbe money scare, is certainly going to put a new face on the security markets. Prices in these have started up during the week: a change of an average of 1 per cent for tbe better is only the forerunner of a widening speculation." RIVER INTELLIGENCE, Nenrly a million Bmbcli of Coal shipped, nml More Going Oni. Nearly 1,000,000 bushels of coal were shipped yesterday, and a light run will bo made to day if the water remains high enongh for it to gut out. The water reached the 7.3 mark at noon and started to recede from that point. At 4 p. II. it was below the 7-foot mark and falling slowly. Unless an additional rise comes by to morrow, which is not likely, coal shipments will be suspended for a week or so. The indi cations for s,n early resumption are very favor able. The weather yesterday was anything bnt suitable for river excursions, but the May flower took a crowd out equally as large as ex cursions on midsummer days. Driftwood. The Lizzie Bay 1 due from the Kanawha to morrow. The excursion boat Music is still on the market at Louisville. THE Bedford left early this morning for Wheel ing and l'arkersburg. The Pacific left for Louisville yesterday with 130, 000 bnsbels of coal. Ihe New Sontli has left on ber maiden trio In the Memphis trade, from Cincinnati. Joseph Walton & Co. sent the .Kellle Walton out with ten barges of tbe "black sparks." Eight feet three was reported in the Ohio at Davis Island yesterday evening and rlsinglowly. THE W. W. O'Nell Coal and Coke Company shipped 12 banres of coal to Cincinnati yesterday afternooa with the Enterprise. , A Southern paper now announces that Cap tain Posey has purchased the Delta from Captain Brown. Captain Posey wonders where the corre spondent was about six months ago. UN account of the unavoidable delay which the Pittsburg and Cincinnati packet boats have ex perienced dnring tbe past week, there will be no boat to Cincinnati to-day. Ihe Keystone blate will be tbe first to arrive this week. She is due here to-morrow. The lollowing boats laid over at this port yes terday: George ltoberls, Seven bans. Twilight, 1. N.

GENERAL GROCERIES UNCHANGED OFFICE OF PITTSBUEO DISPATCH, I Saturday, September 27, 1890. i Country Prodnce Jobblne Price. The week past broke all previous records as regards the quantity of grapes shipped to this market. Receipts were not. much short of 40 carload', and demand was active for all tbat were offered. The shortage of other domestic fruit has brought extraordinary demands on the fruit of the vine. One dealer reported sales of 2,500 baskets of grapes every day of the week. Irish potatoes are firm at quotations, but sweets are verv dull and slow. Choice grades of creamery butter are firm, with a tendency toward higher prices. Tropical fruits are quiet and likely to remain so until tbe grape crop is worked off. APPLES $3 5004 50 a barrel.

Sales of local stoks on call during this week were something over 1,000 shares. There was only one transaction Saturday. Ten shares of Pittsburg Plate Glass brougnt 195, a sharp ad vance over the last previously reported sale. An attempt was made to infuse some life into railroad shares, but tbe only result was to in crease the number of bids. Holders refused to accept tbe figures offered. Closing prices of the leaders, as compared with those of the previous Saturday, show the following results. Philadelphia Gas gained and Luster Central Traction lost Pleas ant Valley 1, New York and Cleveland Gas Coal 1, Electric 1, and Switch and Signal 1. There were no material changes In the rest ot tho list. A broker said Saturday afternoon: "We are not hopelessly discouraged. Ofllco sales help us our. We present a list of stocks of such un dispnteif merit, tbat they must catch on sooner or later. As soon as the tariff bill is disposed of, and the business of tbe country adapts itself to tbo new conditions, there will be a revival." ON THE MEND. The Week Close With n Distinct Improve ment In Monctnry Matters. Bank rates for money were steady during the past week at 67 per cent, and closed on tbat basis. There was a good demand for funds to strengthen existing enterprises and develop new ones. The supply was eqnal to require ments. More confidence was apparent and an easier feeling prevailed. That business continues to move on its usual high level is shown by a gair of nearly $2,500, 000 in bank clearings over the same week last year.

TheGoneral List Quiet to Dull Pacific Mall Becomes n Shining Mark for Bears Kcmnrknblr Fnvornble Bnnk tate mrnt Short Irterest Large. New York, September 27. The stock mar ket to-day was quiet tor dull for the general list, but the continuance of the bear pressure upon a few of the leading stocks created activity in tbese shares and gave tone to the entire list, Tbe market displayed a marked lack of support from tbe earlier dealings, and the bears, notwithstanding the fact tbat a very favorable bank statement was expected, in creased their sales of short stocks as tbe time wore along and the last prices are at, or near, the lowest of the day. The pressure was most prominent upon Atchison, Pacific Mail and Sugar, and each of these short stocks scored material losses in the short sess'on. The President of tbe Pacific Mail was quoted as saying that there was little hopo of tbe p.issage of the subsidy bill In the present session of Congress, and the stock be came a shining mark for the operations of tbe bears, and it was fcrced off from 42 to 40 and closed at 41. Sugar was sold on the compromise of tbe sugar tariff which is looked upon as not favor able enongh to tbe refiners, and large amounts 01 tne stocic cnangea nanus at constantly de clining figures. Atchison was pressed for sale and steadily declined, with no developments, but plenty of talk of Business troubles in Bos ton. The general list opened heavy, though first prices were generally slightly higher and sym pathized closely witb the weakness in tbe lead ing shares, and, while there were frequent slight rallies, most of tbo lis: closed off small fractions from last night's prices. Tbe loss In Sugar was lji, in Atchison 1 and in Pacific Mall Railroad bonds were very quiet and showed little feature, bnt tbe tone was betvy with only slight changes, even among tbe leading issues. Government bonds baVe been dull and firmer. State bonds have been dull and steady. Tbe exports of specie last week amounted to 814,000. all gold. Tbe Imports of specie during the week amounted to S193.S25, of which 8153,280 was in gold, and $45,545 silver.
