' Friday, Angina 28, 1868. THE GENERAL CONVENTION OF ;ERE EPISCOPAL,CUIIRCII. The approaching General Convention of the Episcopal. Church promise's to, be un usually important and. interesting, both from the character of the subjects which Pretient themselves for consideration, and from,-,the: resulta which are expected to flow from the action •of this triennial gathering. The- two parties - of the Episcopal Church- 7 4,1e so called High and Low Churclunetk-- ,-are in a more positively antagonistic ' position, than they have been for many years,' 'aid partisan spirit is more bitter and Aincoliipromising than ever before. Ritualism ; : the Tyng canon, forbidding the occupancy of the pulpits of other denominations; the text of the prayer 'book bearing arpon the subjects of Baptismal regeneration, justification by faith and by works, and "Sacramental grebe," are the leading points in controversy, and there is -quite as- much - their dh3cussion as there is among secular politi cians over-questions of national political econ omy. The Low Church party demand ppsi live prohibition of the Ritualistic practices which are now neither authorized nor for_ bidden by the canon law. They require the repeal of the Tyng canon, and alteration of the liturgy, so that, by no possible construc tion, can regeneration by the simple act of baptism be taught. Some minor matters there are, also, concerning which the Radi cals are equally importunate. It is feared by some Episcopalians that as neither party is disposed to compromise in a Matter about which both are conscientious, discussion must inevitably lead to a division of the -church, and entire separation of the two bodies. The ultraists of both parties have not scrupled to declare that such a spli t would be desirable. But it is not at all likely l i to-occur-,--The-tonservative-clement—in-th • - Episcopal Church is very powerful, and it is . _ : I • : 0. 0 ill 01 ' ':. se Re, as it has been during equally exciting periods in the past, by general legislation which will not materially affect the position of the contest -ants, but Will leave:each free to carry out its -own Waal' Views in its own peculiar way. Itig not the province of the secular press to diCUBB the merits of the position of either party: but persons whose minds are entirely free from prejudice,cannot avoid entertaining. a regtet that the members of a Christian de nomination should display so much furious party spirit, and waste so much energy, upon purely speculative matters, while there is a whole world lyipg in wickedness, and very badly in need of regeneration by some means -or other. It seems to us that both High and Low Churchmen would be more exactly in the line of their duty if they would stop quarrelling with each other and commence hostilities against the world, the flesh and the devil. There never was a finer opportunity to open a campaign, than there is at the present time; and if the Episcopal Church will only drop all the questions in dispute, and, under its old discipline, strike sturdy blows at national and individual sins, its transition from the church militant to the church triumphant will be more speedy and more - glorious - than it can ever be if it is divided against itself, and placed before the world as an exemplification of the belligerent effect of Christianity upon its converts. In its material affairs,the Episcopal Church, like many other denominations, needs some improvement. Instead of wrangling over doctrinal questions,the Convention had better heed the fact that the accessions to its min isterial ranks do not supply the demand. It will be well to inquire into the reasons for this, and to legislate out of existence the ob stacles which now present themselves to young men who desire to enter its ministry. One of the most important of these is the wretched compensation afforded to the clergy out of the large cities. This is a crying Oil. It is a disgraceful fact that the majority of the ministers of this denomination— etucated and refined men, who have families to support, and who are com pelled to present a decent appearance in so ciety—are kept in a condition of grinding poverty which unfits them for the perforkt ance of their duties, burdens them with har assing care, and makes of them awful exam ples to young men who have clerical aspira tions. The present voluntary system of salaries seems to be a failure, and the Com bined wisdom of the Episcopal Church in Convention assembled, would be judiciously engaged if it would ignore the matters in dis pute, and face this practical question with a determination to bring it to a satisfactory solution. PLAV_VCIIIITTE. Everybody, by this time, knows Planchette. With that keen relish for whatever savors of the mysterious which marks the American character, this simple little toy has seized npon society and developed a new crop of social knaves and fools, almost equal in ex tent to the generation of converts to the first manifestations of table-turning and other "spiritual" phenomena. Not that everybody who plays with Planchette is either a knave 47 a fool, by necessity,for there are plenty of ensible people who can put the little impos tor through all its paces without deceiving or being deceive& But that Planchette is de inoraliging a great many people, chiefly, but not wholly, women, is-abundantly proved by - numerous inatimcesilutt- have — come tx• lighv If there are any of our readers wlto , ,yet need an introduction to Planchette; they may, -get. One by looking in any, of the 'principal toy shop windows. There they ion . See a little board -(planchette) about , a quarter of an h — thick, cut in a heart-shape, and mountee on three feet, two of which are easy-running castors, and the third a'sharpened lead pencil, which passes through a hole at the point of the heart. Planchette, being placed on a sheet of paper laid on a bare tabli3, the opera tor rests the tips of the fingers of one hand lightly upon the broad end of the toy, and waits for Planchette to begin. If the opera tor is a person of a nervous temperament, sbe soon, loses the steady control of the muscles of the hand and arm, and the excited nerves begin to communicate an ec centric motion to Planchette: Planchette sprawls around over the paper, the pencil point making, of course, all sorts of confused marks as it moves. Planchette is then asked questions, and it the operator knows the answer, and is in a sufficiently excited con dition for her will to act upon her nerves, the answer will sometimes be scrawled upon the paper, and then everybody, says, "Ott--h !" This is, briefly, as. We believe, the whole of the mystery, and viewed in this light Plan chette is rather an amusing little toy. People of good strong nerves, mentally and physi cally, cannot do anything with it; bat then that class is lamentably in the minority in this country. Planobette, considered as an ingenious,toy is, of course,thoroughly legitimate. It is only when superstitious women invest or pretend to invest its antics with` supernatural quali ties that it becomes demoralizing, and tends to the production of what •we have called, with much deliberation, a new crop of social knaves or fools. And it is sdnrost incredible how far this result has been reached. In New England and elsewhere, hundreds it not thousands of people have become abject believers in the supernatural qualities and powers of Planchette. its performances are graiely attributed to some direct agency of the , devil, and there are plenty of foolibb women,—and not a few foolish men. who solemnly sit down and timidly put their hand upon the little monster, almost ex pecting to burn their fingers with the personal contact with the Evil One. These are the Planchette foals. Then there are, of course, another plenty of women, and men too, who, finding themselves pos sessed of the nervous susceptibility necessary to make Planchette move and write,are play ing off their powers to fool and perplex others. These are the Planchette knaves. There are many notable cases of cultivated, intelligent and even very acute people, who have completely surrendered themselves to the belief that the antics of Planchette are the work of the devil. We know of an instance of one of the most distinguished divines in he - cityofNew Tor k - pron - ouncing - a - solemn exorcism over the little bit of wood,evidently : • • 1 convince. oi : is to c possess on as any Grebo on the African coast is of the presence of the devil in the rude bundle of withered sticks, or the stuffed monkey that constitutes his fetish. It is a matter of notoriety that so clever a woman as Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe has surren dered at discretion to Planchette,and banishes It fri m her presence that she may not be shocked with its profane language ! When stately doctors of divinity and gifted women of genius are thus proved credulous enough to believe that Planchette is controlled by supernatural influences, it is not wonderful that the toy-makers are reaping quite a har vest from the manufacture of this popular little contrivance, or that half of New Eng land should be bitten with this silly mania. It will have its day, puzzling many peo ple, disappointing many more. So far as it contributes to the mere amusement of the family circle, as a toy susceptible of explana tion upon ordinary physical -and- mental principles, it is a legitimate visitor. But when it makes fools of sensible people, and knaves of designing people, it becomes a so cial nuisance of the worst kind. What with the "Grecian bend" in the fashionable world and Planchette in the intellectual, the "Queens of America" are developing capaci ties for folly which distance all the perform ances in these directions which have hitherto first amused, then astonished, and finally disgusted the minds of all sensible people. THE 111116al INS 0* 'TRADES U HONN. On Wednesday of this week a very ha portant trial took place at White Plains,liew York. It seems from the published reports of the case that a minor named Dawson was employed by a master bricklayer in Mor risania. The employment of the boy was contrary to the rules of the Journeymen Bricklayers' Union, and the men in the em ploy of Mr. Dunham, the master bricklayer, struck upon account of the presence of the boy upon the buildings where he was em ployed. The boy was not regularly inden tured, and the Bricklayers' Union dictated to the parties interested that unless he was so indentured and the papers submitted to the Union for its inspection and approval, the members of the Union would no longer work for Mr. Denham. The latter was finally compelled to discharge the boy or lose his Journeymen. The father of the boy was not content that his son should be deprived of an opportunity to learn a trade and gain a livelihood, and_he entered suit against the Union men who were actively engaged in the trAnsacidon, and they were tried before Judge Cochrane for con spiracy, on Wednesday. The trial excited great interest, as it was lcoked upon as a test case. The witnesses vfhe were examined stated the facts which are set forth substan tially above. After the argument of counsel, the judge charged that an overt act had been committed, and the jury promptly convicted the defendants, who were remanded for sen tence. The selfish and short-sighted regulation of associations of journeymen mechanics which forbids the taking of apprentices, is work ing great mischief, and the BtrizErtiz - 111: always held that, if a test case were to be carried before the courts such rules, and the interference with private business 'rowing out of them, would be held to be contrary - to' Public policy, illegal and void. The result of the New. York trial on.

It is authoritatively stated that all the lead ing dry goods merchantain New York held a meeting within a day or two and agreed to gether' to sell no more goods to Southern dealers except for cash on delivery. This is a logicalresult of the blind CoUrSe which the South has been pursuing for some time past, through the instigation of Andrew Johnson and the encouragement of the Democratic party. At the close of the war it was the obvious policy of the exhausted South to have manfully accepted the situation, gone earnestly to work to retrieve its damaged for tunes, and to that end, at least, avoid giving offence, even though it might not choose to make any direct effort at conciliation. The South .had no, reason to doubt the magnanimity of the North, and 'cool-headed and 'sensible Sontherners at once ,adopted the course which common sense and ordinary prudence dictated. But in, an evil hour Andrew. Johnson thought proper to set himself up as the special cham pion of the old rebel element, and it at once took fresh heart. The Demoeintic party, which no longer had any, certain existence outside of the city of New York, Berks county, and the Fourth Ward, Philadelphia, made a bold bid for a new alliance with the South,which the latter accepted nowitlu3tand the loathing contempt felt by it for the party of Seymour and Blair. Merchants are not prone to entrust their goods in the hands of men who are threaten ing the country with a fresh civil outbreak, during,which some new' Confederate govern ment might choose to confiscate all Northern debts for its own use; nor are. capitalists much given to investirig — Weir means in communities that proclaim repudia tion as one of the cardinal prin ciples of their political faith. The resolve of the New York dry goods dealers is precisely what might have been looked, for under the circumstances, and although the action of merchants of other classes in New York, and in all other parts of the North, may not be so Normal as that of the dry goods men, the simplest business principles will prompt all to pursue exactly •the same course. During the progress of the war and after the success of the rebellion had become hopeless, the South indignantly charged the Demo cratic party with having caused its ruin by the encouragement which it gave to the secession leaders. It will yet curse this mis chievous organization more deeply and more bitterly for completing the disastrous work which it _began In 1860-61; The action_of the New York dry goods dealers is ' a very significant a aw which ethrpam thtk wind is setting. It is to be hoped that the result of the November election will convince the Southern leaders of the madness of the course they are pursuimg. Pennsylvanians who may be in doubt as to how they will vote at the coming elec tions; are referred to an article copied from the Harrisburg State Guard, showing how, under Republican administrations, the debt and the taxes have been reduced since 1860. The net reduction of the State debt has been $4,318,210. During the same period of less than eight years, the reduction of the taxes has amounted to $5,664,302. All this while the State was compelled by the war brought on by the Democracy to incur extraordinary expenses, amounting to $5,649,702. If there had been no rebellion, the total reduction of the debt would have reached ten mil lions of dollars, and there would have been a corresponding reduction of tax ation. The war is over, but the Democracy_ propose a new one, if they are suc cessful at the coming elections. This will retard the reduction of the State debt, if it does not actually increase it. The only safe plan is to vote for the Republican.- candidates everywhere, and thus secure the honest administration of State affairs that has worked so beneficially for a number of years. Any young voters, or others who have not made up their minds what course to pursue in October, are advised to bear these facts in mind. —The Pram "sells" itself this morning by the publication of some scurrilous verses by Halpine on Thaddeus Stevens. Whoever selected the piece for the columns of the Press evidently confined his reading of it to the first two or three verses. CAMPAIGN LIFE OF GRANT.—The Republican National Executive Committee have just issued an admirable life of General Grant, which pos sesses the merit of comprising within a brief space an authentic record of the national services of the great leader of the Republican party. It is an excellent history of General Grant's connec tion with public affairs since the close of the war, and lays before the country many most im portant facts hitherto unknown to the public. The numerous annoyances and persecutions to which Grant was subjected by Andrew Johnson's attempts either to get him out of the way, or to commit him to his policy are clearly nar rated, and have a powerful tendency to enhance the high estimate in which the great General is already held by the people. The civil services of General Grant have almost equalled, in their importance, his great military achievements, and this interesting biography which has been compiled from the most authentic sources, should be scattered broadcast over the land, as the most convincing argument which can be• presented to the American mind in favor of giving General Grant the title which graces the cover of this capital work : "Eighteenth Presi dent of the United kltates.” STECK & CO.'B..AND HAINES BROTHERS Plum, and Mason & Batnlin'a Cabinet Ot glidon3 yat J.

This Company, National in its character,offors, by reason of its Large Capital, Low Rates of Pre mium and New Tables, the most desirable means. of insuring life yet presented to the public. The:rates of premium, being largely reduced,. are made as favorable to the hum:were as those of the beat Mutual Companies, and avoid all the complications and uncertainties of Notee, Divi dends zuld the mhon• are apt to cause the Polley-Holders. Several new and attractive tables are now pre sented, which need only to be understood to• prove acceptable to the public, such as the IN COME-PRODUCING. POLICY and RETURN PREMIUM POLICY. In the former, the policy holder not only secures a life insurance, payable at death, but will receive, if living, after a period of a few years, an annuat income equal to kra per cent.

Atrocious Attack upon a Citizen of Long Island, On Friday evening last, a dastardly outrage was perpetrated upon Col. Andrew Harrison, an inoffensive and enfeebled old ex-officer of the United States army, at his residence In Green port, L He was surprised by a party of five or six men, who were unknown to him. and was tarred and feathered because he politically differed with, his assailants. The place where the act was com mitted is about 92 miles from this city. The pyo vocation for the attack was an address which Col. Harrison delivered at Military Headquarters, - Grecnport, on the Saturday caroling previous to the assault, his subject being "The Four Wars." In the course of his remarks, he eloquently the claims of his old commander, Gen. Grant, for Prealdency, and hiss ppeatenraged his politi cal opponents. His subject—the Four Wars— was suggested by his extenalve ; military expert ence.s, and was intended as an introduction to his reminiscences of four campaigns. He was en gaged in the Indian war in Florida, the Texan war, and Mexican war, the Red River Indian troubles, and the late rebellion. His last service to his country was In the capacity of a scout, he beingattached to different regiments, and efficiently and daringly perform ing the important - suniihutgerons duties to which he was assigned. He left the army with a gallant record, but in a very weak and.dobilitated condi tion, which obliged him to go to St. Luke's Hos pital in this city for recuperation. A certificate, which was given him by Dr. A. A. Davis„ the Resident Physician of the hospital, shows that he was an inmate of that institution from Decem ber 25, 1867, to March 43,1, 1868, and that when he entered be was suffering of nervous debility, taking the form of paralysis agitans, caused, apparently, by weunds, diseases and exposures in his many campaigns in the United States ser vice during the last thirty years. Before he had entirely recovered from his last Illness he was again prostrated, this time by stealthy midnight assassins Shortly after midnight on Friday evening he was awakened at the residence of a Mr. Baker, where ho was boarding with his wife, and was told that a poor man wanted his help, and was awaiting for him a short distance away. Being a generous man, this story brought Col. Harrison out of the house. He went out unsus pecting, but he bad hardly followed his guide 20 ITCrffiffroui the house when he - wife suddenly sur prised by the attack of several concealed ruffians who sprang on him from the roadside and over powered him before he had an opportunity to prepare for resistance. He judged that six men were in the gang—certainly five. They wore hideous black masks, which completely con cealed their faces, and talked in feigned voices, as though afraid of future recognition. Alter handling Col. Harrison very roughly, they blind folded him and rode him on a rail several yards. Telling him that they were members of the Ku- Rinx-Klan, they threatened greater punishment if he should still support General Grant for President. Finally, they took him off the rail, and after stripping him of his clothes,inhumanly subjected him to a covering of tar aid feathers, despite his argent demands to be spared lon account of his ill-health. Subsequently, they rode him on the rail back to his house, and then let him go. The next morning strenuous en deavors were made to discover the perpetrators of the shameful outrage, but owing to the politi cal complexion of the town very little encourage ment was given the men who sought informa tion. The only trace of the party was a cloth mark which was picked up on the road. Col. Harrison and his friends have offered a reward of $5OO for information which shall lead ,to the dis covery of any one of these Long Island members of the Y. Tribune to-day. Nlnrders in Arkansas. The Little Rock (Ark.) correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat details the rebel Democracy's out rages in Arkansas: Week before last Mr. Wheeler, State Senator from White County, left Searcy in a baggy for West Point, expecting there to meet a hack which would take him to a point on White river, seven miles beyond - where he was, to take a boat, being on his way to this place. He arrived too late for the hack, and hired ono Hicks to accent panyttim to the river in the buggy. Three or four miles from West Point they came upon two men on horseback, with pistols cocked, in wait ing for them. They were ordered oat of the buggy. Senator Wheeler w4s made to . give up his money and two gold watches, and then to take off his coat and waist coat, when both men were ordered off in a direc tion indicated by the assassins. Wheeler ran for the woods, a hundred yards distant. Both men started after him, still mounted, and commenced firing. His coat, hat - and valise were found, and report was sent to this place that- he was killed. Thatovening a despatch was received - here from him at Duvall's Bluff, where he had just arrived. The men who attempted to- kill him were both known to him; one a resident of the county by the name of Lewis, a brother-in-law of the Rebel General MeOray, the other a desperado by the name of Hill. having lately come into the county from the southern part of the State, from which place ho had been compelled to flee for murder. That night, after the attempted assasainallob, the two outlaws went to West Point. Their friends collected, and they had a time of general merriment, heaths being drank to the man who his powder. On the same day a despatch was received from Memphis that Senator Barber, of Crittenden county, had been shot through a - window with. buck-shot, ttiree taking effect the heSd, and one in thearm. The simultaneous attempt to assassmate members of the Legisla ture in parts of the State widely separated, with the undeniable evidences of ageneral under standing among the assassins in White county; coupled 'with' the advice of the Gazette, and the threats of leiding alias Democrats; In rebels;' iciva - parts - Of the State,' areltiffielatittft eon vine° the writer that asteisialtiation is a part of the programme - for the Pall campaign, and that the leaders of the Democracy-in this part of the State are responsible for it.

During his stay General Roseerans has had the fullest and freest- interchange of opinions with leading and most influential men from every Southern State. Yesterday ho addressed a letter to General Lee, in which he expressed hiss views of the • 'present condition of affairs in the country, and the necessity for a Speedy' restoration of good feeling:between the men of . the North and the South, and asking him to give a written expression of his views to the best way by which Ibis era of good , feeling between the sections could be restored.' To this commn- Eleatic:lr General Leo responded, expressing his reverence for the Constitution of the •United States, and his , ardent desire , for a com plete union ,of .the States as of old, and also of his unqualified belief.- that his reverence and' desire were shared by a large ma 7 jority of the reflecting people of the South; that the South now panted anxiously for peace and a return to a peaceful and constitutional adrainis tration of the government; that they longed more 'ardently for that greatest bean At 'Am (glean free-, mini-the 'right of • nelf-government—that the humanely Ofthese States would treat kindly and humanely tho colored people among lhem; if left to themselves; that they -would be., impelled to this by the'dictates of their own Marti( as well by a feeling of self-intereet. 'General Lee,lloW ever, was especially as eraphirtic in 'deploring the attempt to commit the:political destinies of these States to these colored people at-this time, before they are prepared .for such a mighty , re sponsibility; an attempt which,. he remarked, is fraught with Incalculable misfortune and &lama ties to the whole country, North and Borah, and with destruction to' these eolOred - people theta:. eel Yes.

'The -banks re port lhatthey have a large unemploye d surplus and that the dethand for beth loans and . discounts Won a very moderate scale. The itinount ofeom ruercial paper offering Is light and the best grade is quoted at 6®7 per cent. The applications for discounts from the West have ceased, and the re mittances to that section have suddenly been Ens pended,l, the banks at Chicaga, .Cincinnati and other local centred' having over-supplied themselves with currency. There' Is :' . reason to believe that the efflux of currency from this eity.during the two weeks preceding the pre sent was stimulated by artificial means, the movement .being both earlier and on a larger scale than usual. The design may. have been. to advance the rate of interest here and at the same time to depress government securities for specu lative purposes. All apprehensions of monetary stringency this ear appear to be unfounded, ac -11 . ••t t I II . al: 11 • - ing an estimate of the furure course of the money market. Contraction has now been so long suspended that .: -the the business of the country has become adjusted to the volume of the currency, and trade is, more than usually, on a legitimate as distinguished from a speculative basis. The power of the Treasury to lock up greenbacks at this centre no longer. exists, except ' to a very limited extent, and the fifty millions of new three per cent.' cer tificates to be issued in payment of the principal and interest of the remainder of the compound interest notes outstanding effectually guards against any disturbance arising from the ma turity of these notes, as the certificates exceed the latter in amount and can be held as a part of their legal tender reserve by the banks. So far, too, as • the national finances are concerned there is no cause for alarm. The con troversy about the kind of currency in which the five-twenty bonds are payable is indulged in only for political effect, and those who suppose that. Congress will settle the question one may or the other before long are mistaken. There, will be, in all probability, no legislation on the subject, and the ultimate resumption of Specie payments ten or twelve years hence will solve -the question in favor of redemption in gold. But meanwhile we must expect to hear a great _deal.of _political clantnip concerning thia and kindred matters. The gold market has been on the whole firm derink the day, although strong efforts-were made by the speculators to depress it for the purpose of buying what they call cheapgold. The open ing sales were at 144%, following which there was a decline to 144%,. and e subsequent adience to 145. The closing transactions prior to the adjournment of the board at three P. M., were, at 1443( 3 following which the quotation' advanced to 145%@145. There was an active borrowing demand for coin, and loans were made without Interest to either borrower or lender, and at 3.031 2 per cent. for carrying. The gross clearings amounted to $63,688,000, the gold balances to $1,809,454. and the currency balances to $2,637,- 416. The Sub-Treasury disbursed $27,000 in coin interest, and the steamer New York took out $57,000 in specie. Government securities continued very active and buoyant to-day, and prices experienced a further advance of 3b0)34 per cent. daring the forenoon, but subsequently, under sales to real ize and also for speculative effect by the bears, there was a slight decline in the five-twenties of 1867 and 1868. At the close, however, the ten dency was again upward, and. the indications are that there will be a further considerable ad vance before the present movement culminates, as considerable orders to buy are coming into the street from parties who have no other em ployment' for their emplitaianda—______ (From the New York World of to. da.Y. Annum., 27.—The Government bond market was active and strong in the morning, but after wards reacted under the pressure of heavy sales by the bears. The market rapidly took all that was offered at 3j to % per cent. from the highest quotations of the day. The foreign firms are buying heavily of 1864 s and old 18655, and also a considerable amount of the new bonds. The 1862 a are scarce, and $86,500 were bought in under the rule at 114% to 115, while the price regular was 113%, but the difference was not charged by the broker, who merely wanted to enforce the delivery of bonds he had bought five days ago. The 1867 s were largely dealt in, and after selling up to 108% reached to 107% to 107%, with a few sales at those prices, when 108 was bid strong, without bringing out any round lots. The money market is easy at 3 to 4 per cent. on call, and the Government bond dealers have more money offered to therm than they can use. The foreign exchange market is weak, and prime bankers' sixty-day sterling bills are offered at 1093, and less 1-16. Many of the orders to ship gold, from Europe to New York have been countermanded: the only amount known so far is that of $500,000 in gold, noticed in this column a few days since. This has had the effect of strengthening the gold mar ket to-day; and also the further news by telegram that there is no American gold in the London market. No shipmentr, can be made excepting at a loss, at present rates : of exchange. The American gold which has been shlpped•to Europe is held mainly by the Bank of France, and that institution is not likely to part with it at present. The heavy amount' of specie—s2so,ooo,ooo—in the Bank of prance is more ominous against the peace of Europe than the armies of France. The gold market Was strong throughout the day, closing at 6P. at 14533 to 1453 i, with an up ward tendency. 16,040 15 8,852 06 The Latest Qttotanons teem New York Mr Telegraph., NEw YORK, Aug. 28.—Stocks steady;, Chicago and Rock Island, 1003, Reading, 9.1.
