12 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1872 MONEY AND COMMERCE. MONETARY. SaTURDAY EVENING, NoV. 9. The change in the tone of the local money oarket since this dsy last woek is slight, what there has been isin favor of an easier condi- tion, thongh the banks disagres in their reports on this point, and some of them 6ay they are justas short of loanable funds as they were a week ago. Tho effect of the hindrance o trade from the horse-discase is perceptible in the business of the banks. Instances are cited by bankers in which their customers have had to borrow, and others in which they have been unsble to meet maturing obligations, be- ‘cause they could not deliver goods. The con: +ion of the open market does not quite tally with the report of the banks. We find there is less sommercial paper offering in the street than a week or ten days 230, and rates of intorest sre Tower than then, 13 per cent per month being the ruling rate now, against 2 per cent then. The receipts of currency from the country jority of operators in grain, and especially to the fow among them who ' know how narrowly the grain-trade of this city escaped a partial collapse, through the emexgetic conduct of George Armour & Co. We intimated about o week sgo that this firm found itself “on the wrong side of the fence, to the tuno of we do not caro to say how many thousands of dollars.” in consequence of having assumed the liabilities_of Munn & Scott. That item, as at first written, read neatly $400,- 000, but was altered as above, it not being then deemed judicious to state the amount. Thero is now no harm in stating that, a8 near as we can ascertain, George Armour & Co. have quietly bought up in the open market about 40,000 bu of whest end 475,000 bu of corn, these quantitios being nearly the amount of paper afloat against mere wind in the Munn & Scott elovators, Had it been generally known that the firm wre in the market to thet extent, the result would probably have been to force prices up against them soyeral cents per bushel. As it was, they were gblo to retiro this enormous quantity of bogus paper without a ripple of dis- comfort, and can now mako & statemont that will enable their houses to make a fuir atart with the grain dealera of the community. “TiSe rocent revelations in rogard fo the oper- have diminished some during the week, and, on ‘the other hand, some considerable amounts are being sent ont. 5 New York exchange continues scarce, and yates are firm at 50@75¢ per £1,000 premium for aales between banks.

The following were the receipts and shipments of breadstuffs and stock at this port for the week ending with this morning, and for other ‘weeks ending as dated : RECEIPTS, Kow. 9, 72, Nov. 2,712, Nov. 11, *TL. 35,272 390,538 Csttle, No. 4 3,498 The leading item of commercial news to-day isthe notification given on ’Change by George Armour & Co., who recently assumed the con- trol of the Munn & Scott elevators. They an- nouncethat on Monday next they will furnish 1o the Registrar of Grain a statement of all the grain in store in their houses this evening, “tto the best of their knowledge and belief. “They also caution the commercial public against ‘negotiating any grain receipts issued by Munn & ‘Beott unless those receipts have beenindorsedby George Armonr & Co. ; and announce that they repudiate thres receiptsissued on the Northwest- -ern Elevator in favor of §.D. Foss & Co., for an sggregate of 10,000 bu No. 1 spring, which it is understood have been pledged as collateral for the payment of borrowed money. ThesaTe- <eipts are dated July 2 and 8, and Aug. 12. vails these announcements may not be ex- ceedingly palatable to a fow who have acce ted aper for mythical grain in the Munn & cott EOESH. thev will be welcome tothe great ma- ations of the late firm of Munn & Scott furnish & complete answer to the many charges made during the past few yoars, that the frequent allegations made in THE TRIBUNE in rega-d to the workings of the warehouse system, were not justified by the facts. The fum of Mumn & Scott lost large amounts in 1868, by trad- ing in grain, instead of confin- ing themselves to the profitable business of warehousing grain; and ever since that time, till recently, they have kited along, using the property of other people to stave off the collapse, which came at last, in spite of all their struggles. Andit is furfher fair to say that their conduct during that interval was often of such a character as to recall the aphorism: “Whom the gods will to destroy, they first make mad.” For instance: there is the best of reason to believe that their last venture, the corner in wheat, which they have 8o strenuous- 1y and so persistently denied all connection with, failed through their obstinacy. Wo have good grounds for believing that when the price touched $1.50, the other two gentlemen, and the one firm who formed, with Munn & Scott, the ‘whole combination, unanimously requested them to agres to wind up, as it could then have been done safely and ot fair profit. But Munn & Scott insisted on $1.60 as the limit; and, like the monkey with the chestouts, the handful was too big to be held. The result is already known to the world,—except the part that Munn & Scott took therein, which those who suffered through them have been too magnanimous to bruit to the world. It may be permitted now to speak plainly, be- cause it is perhaps necessary to confidence in our warehouse system in the future, that it should be known that the Munn & Scott ware- houses were the great sore on that system in the past. It is true that other warehousemen owned large interests in thoss elevators, but they were tun by Munn & Scott, and there is' good remson we think that those other warehousemen would not have counte- nanced tho management for & moment if they had understood the true state of the case. But they did not ; and, unwisely assuming that all was right, they opposed the efforts made to 80 improve the system as that fraudulent dealing in the property of other people, commitied to their charge, should be no longer possible. By taking that attitude they virtually indorsed tho worst practice of their coadjutors, and were held respoeible therefor by that portion of an outreged community who were cognizant of some of the fagts—none knew all. e believe that the other warehousemen could not have consented to act as Munn & Scott did, and that they now regret having been misled into giving them a tacit indorsement. ‘We now have an admirable opportunity for un- dertaking the reform advocated in these columns, The balance sheet of George Armour & Co. is made up for to-day; ond the stocks of grain will ‘be taken in several of the other elevators of the city at the close of this month—perhaps in all, Now that the Munn & Scott difficulty is prac- tically diugosod of, there is not the samo crying need for the striking of abalance-sheet that for- merly existed; but so much of suspense has been excited in regard to the wholo system, inly owing to the united stand taken against reform in the past, that the warchousemen will find it to be to their own intercst to make an in- telligent statement of their present position— for the avoidance of future trouble, once for all. Let us have s plain statement of grain assots and grain liabilities for each one. fixcm never again be s0 easily done as now, and was never ‘more imperatively needed. If not made, it will be impossiblo to prove that our present ware- housemen are all right to the satisfaction of those who know how much they have rendered themselves responsible for past wrong-doing. We indicated this morning that thero probably was not 13,277 bu_of rejected uprinsbwheac in the Rock Island elevators on Saturday last, as reported in the statement of stocks in atore. It now appears that the proprietors reported the stock as 3,349 bu. How that statement grew to 18,277 bu 18 & mystery for which they are not responsible. .

The lesding proauce markets were moderately active to-day, and prices of breadstuffs averaged somewhat higher—chiefly a8 a consequence of light receipts. The shipping movement was quiet, shippers not caring to operate, but there was & fair amount of speculative !,md.mfii The only new feature noted in connection wit! the grocery market was the dovelopment of & firmer feeling in sugars, the increased firmness being due to the %c advance established in Now York yesterdsy. Stocks hers are mow in fair working order, but, 0s they cannot be augmented to sell at former rates, the quotations were to- day marked up an }c all around. _Coffees, teas, and eyrups were also firm, the demand being fairly notive, while stocks are moderate. Other omfliutha list ruled quiet and steady. Tho 80y goods trads continnes dull, with but slight variation in values. Cotton fabrics are generally firm, while in woollens there is an easy feeling, No change was noticeable in the butter and cheese markets. A moderate amount of trading was done in both of these staples, and former rices were well sustainedall sround, Coal remuins 5:11.\, but is excecdingly firm, the lato advance being thoroughly sustnined. ' Fish were quoted qm'e§ and grm, with the exception of fat mackerel and new whitefish, both of which are inli;éht supply the market is liberally stocked. Dried fruits were quiet, with little or no change in values. Inthe haymarketan easier feeling was manifested. The withdrawal of Eastern buyers, and the fact that the receipts wero more liberal than on the {wo or three Frecedmg days of the week, made holders a little anxious, and concessions of 50c per ton were freely offered. Hides end leather were in light request ouxfy, and former rates were only indifferently sustained. Oils remain quiet 2nd steady. Lumber was moderately active, and with but ‘material change. Building materials are in fair demand, and without change in g)rices; dealers continue to receive large orders, but the want of cartage is & serious interruption to business, Coopérage remains quiet, and_without essential change. ~ We quote pork barrels at SLS@L.50; 1ard tierces at 31.75@1.80.

Sales were reported of 100 brls at 89140 er gal. 2 Lf\z freights were dull and weak, Only & fow vessels were on the market, but these conld ot bo chartered, except at a further decline of about 134c, as shippers do not now care to oper- ate, except by me there being considerable risk atténding the effort to get lake shipments Hhrongh to New York on the Erie Canal. Itis yrohagls that our rail shipments will show & ‘marked increase before long. A total of four charters was reported, which will earry out 22,000 bu wheat, 46,000 ba corn, 12,000 bu oats, an 27,000 bu barley. Sail rates were quoted af 1034c on_corn, and 1134c on wheat, to Buffalo, Cclgsing dall. Provisions were more active, chiofly in s small way of trading, with very little change in prices. The cooler weather, and the advancing season, are opening the hearts and houses of the paclk- era gradually, and they report that they have Killed this month 21,800 hogs, besides the 44,000 killed in October, the latter not being included in the winter gscking. But orders geem to come in glowly, and will not probably be active till something more is known of the destination of the stock of old pork, and of the probable rates of rail freights this winter.

Tho market was strongest early, being excited Dby the report that only 80 cars were inspected in for Monday; it eased down subsequently when the number of 167 cars was posted, and New York was announced dull. But there was a lively demand, especially for this month, which kept up prices, though there was not much buying for shipment. The demand was chiofly from the shorts for November, which was shown by the fact that seller the month was af a premium over seller Decamber, whereas the latter wes at a 340 promium two days ago. Deliveries of whoat have been very light during the past few days, and some of the shorts seem to have gained the idea that there will not be wheat enough to go yound by the 80th, as rail-shipments will bo on the increase while reccipts are expected to continue light.

This fact, with the knowledge that farmers are not disposed to deliver in the country at present prices, is bringing out a rather extensive short demand, and the firmnessis increased by the fact that some operators know tho volume of receipts afloat has peen largely reduced recent- Iy by the purchaees of George Armour & Co., who have bonght for the purpose of cancelling.

The first decree signed by King Victor Em- maauel after the occupation of Rome was one appointing & commission to study the best means of improvmi the Agro Romano. The conmisgion worked hard for two years, and has just ended its labors. It would be impossible forme to give an ides of the opposition encoun- tered by the commission, and the opposition manifested even among the members them- selves. The Agro Romano, as I had occasion toaxglnin some time age, i8 divided between fev Princes and religions corporations. Enor- ‘mous districts ‘usflm’fflcfly uninhabited, and easants from the Abruzzi come only during a o doye to cut and gather tho hay. Pestilen- tisl fever gervmiea the greater part of the cam- pogns. The more enlightened members of the cminsionbgropuued the alienation of the districts ong‘m%m to the religious corporations, ividing the land _ in- to small lots and selling it to cultiva~ tars. This plan encountored the most powerful opposition among the Mercanti di Cunmn, or large hay farmers, who have always e their fortunes out of the misery of the actual state of the campogna. Indeed, the wealthiest had al- ready mada & gort of arrangement smong them- selves, and proposed to purchase all the eccles- isstical property, in order to apply to that por- tion their systom? of cultivation. Instead of having some forty proprietors, the land would ‘belong to some twenty only, who had all the in- terest to continue their old system. Besides this, it was s vital question, not without some politicel importance, to form around the Capital arural population which, as is the casewith Florence, might balance the power of the urban population of the Capital. It is now the study of the Government to lose no time in drawing up a bill based on the resolutions of the com- mission. The Government will, no doubt, find itself opposed by powerful locel .influences. Princes and Mercanti di Campagna may, if they choose; declare that if the Government opposs their interests they will ““ go over” to the Pope. —_— . New Jerscy Giants, The Belvidere Apollo recalls some interesting facts pertaining to Warren County in days past, suggested by the death of Mr. Aaron Vannatta ab that place afew days ago, and who weighed 400 pounds. He was of & family of Vannattas, who have for = long time lived in the vicinity of -| Washington and Jockson Valley, in Warren County, and were remarkablo for their large tize, robust_build, and giant strength. Saveral ears ago, Jackson Valley, then called Timber wamp, was noted for the size and strength of ita inhabitants. The Vannattas, the Pettys, the Wyckoffs, the Hoffmans, the Cruzers, the Silk- ers, 2ad the Linns, were among the names of the families constituting this remarkable race of men. John Linn belonged rather to Scott's Hountain than the valley, and was the strongest of themall. His match for strength was never found in his day. He died at the age of one hundred and iwo years, and is avell remembered by many men living. He was one of those men often héard of but seldom known, who could pick up a barrel full of whiskey or cider and drivk out of the bung-hole. Aaron Petty, long since dead, weighed 300 pounds, was & man of tremendous strength, and go active and supple was he that he conld dance a rope or wire squal to a professional scrobat. Whon gather- ing at & vendue or frolic, these gigantic men moved the astonishment of sirangers from & distance. Amo%g these noted men there was & noted snuffer. He raised his own tobacco. After it was gathered and dried, he would fill his pockets with the dried leaves, and then when he ‘wanted & snuff he pulled out some of the leaves, broke them up, aud spplied them to his olfacs tories. A stranger from the northern part of the State attended a vendue and saw these large men, and especially this voracious snuifer, L] visitor .returned home and told his friends that there were in Timber Bwamp the largest and strongest men he ever eaw, and among the Test there was one that snuffed oven-wood. P ek ke GEMS IN ARIZONA. One Hundred Pounds of Precious: Stones in San Francisco. From the San Francieco Chronicle, Oct, 29, About ten days ago, 29 stated in the Chronicle at the time, the Pacific Diamond and Ruby Min- ing Company received & large consignment of precious stones from the diamond fields discov- ered by them. C:xytnm Thomas Buckley, who discovered these fields shortly after the breakin; out of the diamond excitement last summaer, an under whose superintendence the stones were collected, returned with them, and is now stop- ping in this city. It tranepires that the consign- mentof jewelsbronghtback by himismuch larger than originally stated; and the company now have on deposit in the office of B. F. Sher- wood, one of the original incorporators, one hundred pounds of uncut stones, gathered on their ground since August, and panned out of the gravel by hand. The stones were yesteni;z shown to a Ohronicle reporter by Mr. Sberwo in the latter's office. There are diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds and garnets in the collection. The stones aversge about the size of & pes, and, while many are §onbuass garnets and worthless quartz_ crystals, there are many valusble diamonds and rubies in the collection. They have been tested by com- petent lapidaries, who pronounce & large Pproportion of them valuable gems. None of the stones have been cut, but in & few days the en- tire collection will be sent to Frankfort, Ger- many, and sold. Even in their rough state thero aro many lustrous gems, whick will cut to brilliants of great value. The company have se- cured the titfo to their grounds and havo a forc of men at work on the grounds now, most of them Indians from s nelghhoring reservation. They say it is not yet decided whether Captain Buckley wil return to their gold fields this win- for, or remain in the city until spring. In any g:enb, they will })l‘nsecuta work vigorously, and Ve promise resping & i mé"hm%‘“filfim'ly g & magnificent reward ‘aptain Buckley locates his diggings i ie tude 35 degrees north, lon; 'tmi%ml fll:g}';:’u west from Greenwich, and about 50 miles west- erly from Fort Defiance. This brings us into Northwestern Arizona. The geological features of the country are represented in sandstone for- ‘matjons, very mush broken and upheaver with evidences of great volcanic action ang overflow. The precious stones are found in earthy matter (overlying the sandstone), which is glizh:xing with crystallized substances. The industrious builders of the ant-hills carry up the earth from their subterranesn cells,” dia~ monds, rubies, eapphires, eineralds, garnets, and_tourmaline, and it is only above ths ssndstone that those gemsare found. The char- acter of the country conforms in almosé every articular to the descriptions we have of the gmlth African diamond fields. The extent of our fields can only be estimated by the large ares, which we kmow has the same geological characteristics, and which is already prospected in many places, distant from each other. Captain Buckley gives the route traversed by him as follows: From San Francisco to Denver, Colorado, bythe Pacific Railroad, from Denver to Pueblo, by Narrow-Gauge Railroad; from Pue- blo, to Santa Fe, 320 miles by stage. Thedistance from Santa Fe to the diamond fields is about 800 miles westerly, with no public conveyance. i route is by Fort Wingate, 190 miles from Santa Fe, and by Fort Defiance, €0 miles from Wingate, which last postis 50 miles from the fields, situated about 35 degrees morth, snd longitude 111 degrees west from Greenwich. The hurricane-deck of a mule or of 2 mustang must be resorted to after leaving SantaFe. One Gov- ernment buck-board ftravels the road to Fort Wingate with the mail, but with no geat for a passenger excopt by order of the military authorities. Between Santa Fe and Wingate the only camping places are Pino Blanco, a Mexican village on the Rio Grande, 30 miles from Banta Fe ; 8an Cedro, 33 miles from Pino Blanco ; Rio Porque, 28 miles from San_Cedro ; Willow Springs, 30 miles from Rio Porquo; Blue Water, at intersection of the Albuguerque road, 83 miles from Willow Bprings; Bacon %yringn, 23 miles from Blue Water ; and Forb ingate, 13 miles from Bacon Sorings. i Excefmingthu deep sand of the road between Pino Blanco and 8an Cedro, it is fair for pack ey A Maryland Mnjor Causes the Death of Two French Girls. Not long since the pengla of the ancient city of Dijon, 164 miles southeast from Paris, were startled at an eerly hour in the morning by the wild cries and gesticulations of a man who was ranning through the streets and shonting af the Tob of bis voite: - Ob, T have murdered them! I hiave murdered them! Annie and Sophie! have murdered them!” He was soon arrested and taken to the station house, where the Police Commissioner, after quicting him, elicited from him the following statement: ¢ name is Edward Darnell ; I am a native of Baltimore, in the United States; Iam 32 years old; I have been in Dijon for the past ten months ; I served during the war against the rebellion, snd I was honorably discharged as brevet Major in 1865; through the influence of a Congressman from my State, I obtained a clerkship in the De- evutmsnt of the Interior, but to leave ‘ashington soon afterw: in consequence of gome trouble I had with & bad woman thers; Having over $1,000 in my possession, I went to Paris, where, in an evil hour, I visited s gam- bling’hell, and lost neatly every cent I had in my &oclm.. A man baving told me that a teacher of the English laaguage g wanted at the Iyce- um of Dijon, I st: for that city, and arrived there with 30 francs in my pocket. I obtained the place in question, and took board at the house of the Widow Ssussure, at No. 4 Place Q'Armes, She had two handsome dsughters, Annie and Sophie; I fell in love with Annie, and asked her to marry me ; she consented. Unfortunately, s short time afterward, I found Sophie alone at home; I succumbed to her charms, and she fell a victim tome. Go to the house of Madame Saussure, and youn will find there the lifeless romains of the two girls. O, God! O, God! Ihavekilled them! Both of them loved me—it is too horrible! too horrible!™ The officers went ag directed, and found Mme, Baussure, & fing looking old lady, who rashed toward them with ejaculations of despair. Sho conducted them upstairs into aneat-looking bed- room. Tpon the couch lsy two besutiful girls, between 18 and 20 years of age, locked in a firm embrace. After the poor womsn had recovered from her paroxysm of grief, she showed the Po- lice Commissioner the following letters, which told the whole mournful story: ‘‘Dear Mother—Edward has betrayed me. He loved Sophie better than me! ANNIE The second lotter was still more touching: * Mamma—You must not cry over me. L have been wicked, and I had no lnnqern right to live. Do not blame him! Sorme.” The two girls had discovered each other’s secret, and had resolved, when they kmew the whole truth, to commit suicide to- gether. They had secured some Paris green and poisoned themselves, The criminal judge of the department investigated the terrible affair, but he cawe tothe conclusion that he had no right to hold Darnell. The latter was sent to Paris, where he is now confined in a maison de sante. - ————— The Propaganda. The receipta of the Pmpn%mdn (the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, which had its headquarters at Rome) for the year 1871, were £200,835. Of this sum all but about £11,000 was received fom Europe, and France was the lnr%- est contributor. America contributed only £9,707, and she received back from the Propa- gandano less than £35,564 expended for mis- sions, etc. The expenditures in Europe, which gave £189,944, ‘were only £94,901; in Asis, Which gave £574,they wero £89,678 ;-in Africa, which gave £857, they were £28,7i1; and in Ocesanica, which gave only £251, they were £22,813. The entire *‘ expenses of management” of the Propagands, which during the year re- ceived £200,835 and expended £218,128, were only £1,207. Itis noteworthy that Ireland out of her poverty, gave tothe Propagandain 1872 the sum of £4,709 and took back only £340, while Scotland gave only £80, and received in return £1,600. ., Railroad Conductors. From a report presonted to the Life Insurance Company of the Railroad Conductors of the United States we learn that during the year end- ing August 1, 1872, no less than thirty-two con- ductors have been removed from the sssociation, either by sudden death, disease or permanent disability for life on the road. An examination into the statistics of these removals shows the following facts: Sixteen conductors met with death at their posts, of whom elevan were on freight trains and five Wwith passenger trains. Two conductors had each an arm smputated, and one lost a leg by accident ; one died of sun: stroke on the New Jersey Southern, three died of spine disease, and_twelve died of consump- tion, every one of whom ware passenger con- ductors. - —Rumors prevail that the perpetrators of the ecent bank robbery at Waterford, N.
