Every Phase of the Question Sys- tematically Gone Over, Even the Notorious John Allen Gives His Experience. Convincing Arguments Backed by the Figures. JOHNIALLEN'S STORY OF UNREQUITED LOVE. o the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Cr1caco, Sept. 17.—F've acen you fellows go- ing on with tlus everlasting discussion about marrisge and such like just as long as I propose to. You have been publishing a lot of letters from people who don't know snything about it anyway, and 8o it stands to reason that tbey haven't bit the point at all; they have been gun- ning all over and around it, and have missed the mark every nme. Itell you the troubleain’t in getting along after you're married, but it's in getting ‘married in the first place,—that's what ails me. Don't make any difference what wages you get after you're married, the woman’s got to get along on them, bain't she ? To be certainly sha.lns: what else can she do? Then, of course, all this bosh abont their not being able to afford it goes for mothing, don't i Bat thut said before, vou've got to catch one first, then ehe's got to live on half the receipts or less, and that's all aboat it. Well, now I've read these letters from young fellows, and they all take it for granted that they ocould get a girl if they wanted her—only they dou'taare. Well, now, just you don't believe that; they’re putiing up o job on you from the start; they haven't had any better lack thanI've tiad, and that's poor enough,’God knows. *Laint often 1 writo a letter to the papers any- way, and perhaps I'd better tell you what my lack has been, then you'll understand how thesa other young enipes are fixed, for I tell you, for sate, that they are just aboat hke me—most of them anyway. Well, 1 thonght it all over and I concluded I had better settle doan, and I thought I would pick ot some only daughter, with a rich and in- valid fatber, sud talk business to her and I did. Zhe wasn't just exactly handsome; but, barring one gams eye, and red bair, and pock-marks, and such, she wasn't 5o bad. though £ho was about torso. Wel, I did mote’n etawnally go for that girl (and the oid man’s shekels), and 1 took her to thestres. and Ticpies, aod church fairs, nd I bonght her caramels and sich, and I car- ried around her photograph (profile view without tho wall . eve), and when I thought 1'd sofwemed " her up sbout sght, I caught her oo the -front steps one aipht, and I asked her to share my humble lot, wd cheer my desolate existeuce, and be my guiding star, and walk down Life's paib with me, nd belp me to set up A little parsdise on earth, and sich, bess I knew how, you koow; got it all sut of & book, and I wish I may never if ehe idn': set up a screech and call out the old man sith & cane, and, in less’n two munatos, I a8 & slock off, and the old pistareen was a-standing st the gate and a-telling how he'd fix me if I in- iited his danghter agam. And I never went near that houss from that §me out. And the pirl =as married in less than iwo weeks to an old head with no more hair than » white bean. Well, I thonght that over considerable, and I wocluded that, somehow, I wasu'v fitted to shine inthe higher circles, and p'r'aps it would be setter if I found a trae and loviny beart nearer ©y owncondition in life,and ove who would share vith me the heat aod burden of the day, snd wlacea bumble home with the blandishments sf atrueand heart-felt love.—and all that, you tmow. Shows what a cnssed fool I was to think 0. Anvway, I got introduced toa mights gor- geons blonda in s millinery-store, and 1 clucked oysters, and reed-birds, acd ice-cream, and fino talk into that girl enough to fetch the most ob- stinate young woman ever waa: and I told her the same story pretty much that I told the other one,—how she might be my guiding star, and sbout _shariox my bumble lot, and the litle paradise on earth, and all tne yest of it aund she took it all down, orsters, sod talk, and all, like a sat would new milk, 2nd I bougzht ber dollar jewelry till yon couldn't_rest, and fixed up the day for the wedding, and I read over how = soung couple could liveon $11 s waek—and then. afterall, I wish 1 may nover enatch another smigrant if she didn't run awayand joins nfieiy show about two days before the wedding. Now I want to ask you if you think sach doings 18 those are likely to enconrage matrimony and the joining together of true hearts that beat as Seems to me someliow a8 if tho beat was ; looks like I was the only one who got beat 80 far. Well, I took ancther rest after that, and I fived mighty closs and tried to pay up some of my debts, 0d L give the emigrants sa extra squeeze when 1 got & good chance, and, after & hesp of thinking, I come to the conclusion thac these city ?m knew s heap too may tricks for me, aod if 1 wanted the pure quill, the real out- pourings of the heart, the simpls voica of Na- fure's impuises, and sach, I'd better go into the raral districts, where thero ain't any oyster saloons, and dollar jewelry, aond pnll-back dresses ; 0 took & litde trip sut near Aurors, sod I made some frionas there, and got introduced to some girls. Ove of them was s farmer's danghter with a_good round face and & band like a bssswood bam! She could make butter, sod oook, and hadn’t any waist to speak of— same size from tbe shoulders all the wa{ down— but she waa clever enongh, too. Well, I used to g0 out and see her pretty often, and talk politica with the old man, and make up t the girl, and drink bard cider, and culiivate the friendship of 2 big bull-pup they had. I tbought L was com- ing on all right, but somebow the old man tound out who I was in Chicago, and one night when I was ont, walking with the girl, he osme ont and called her in, aod told me if I walied mght smart to town 1 could cateh the next train, and s0's I wouldn't ‘mmiss it by bsin’ too slow, he set the pup on me, and told me be'd found outall about me, and the gu! snickered and seemed to enjoy it. 1 didn’t mi¢s the train, Now 1 don't want to take up too much time or, if I did feel free to do it, I could tell you about three or four other trials of mine ; how I wanted to sottle down #nd I couldn’t ; but 1 will stop to say that there don's any of your cor- respondenis seem to get down to the mest of the mater, &8 it| were; theyall go on palavering abont the ex- pense and such like, when that ain't the ques- tionatall If they wart to show some sense on the eubject, why don't they tell a fellow how to get the girl to eay “yes” and keep her promise? —that's what's the matter. At any rate, that's ‘what ails yours traly, JORN ALLEN. GRANDMOTHER'S ADVICE. Tothe Bditor of The Chicaso Tribune: Cmoaco, Sept. 15.—It is not fitting that this subject, 8o deeply intsresting to the young folks, just now under discussion in your columus, should pass from notice without a wora from grandmother. My grandson (an only son, too, and all #he more 1n danger of bewg spoiled by ‘pampering) was very early taught that true man- _ liness could have no better source than faithful- ness, and a8 ealy told that a strict obedience to the commands of God the Fathar, as found in the Holy Scriptures, which we are told to “gearch,” if sincerely cherished, would find the nmecessary temporal comforta “added” 18 truly as there is & Father over all. After the proper care, which 1t is with- in the power of most parents to bestow in some way on their young children, at the age of 20 he, baving “a good common-school education,” ©qual to mercantile requirements, and it being mlor him tomake himself and;bis fu- b pmn::(:fla_ex assistance from his father, sitoation at 810 por week. He nealy, though not S agandy. clothed. . Being fond of reading, cos, bad no smail church nights, anq occa: e Lo i ho Ermes, or spen S e Tone frna W4 retiving mus:z 0 af e gratified with bis simple babits and strict atten- tion to bustnees_that he increased bis ‘salary to €15 por weelk. My grandson advised with bis father, ard lived just as economically as before, excepting tnat be Iaid aside the extra 860 for g:inf‘xdemah,“ and put the even $200 in tho D, About this time he began to watch very close- 1y tho second daughter of a lsrgo family,—(ouo of wealth, who.for *suld scquuintance sasc’ bad shown tbeir estimation of my grandsov’s characier_and often jovited bim to their Lome),—liking the neatuess of her dress, which was = mever extravagaaf, thoush alwavs appropriats, sod her industrious babits, for he had occasion to pass the house every day, and had seen her sweeping. aud dust- ing, and scoming to give orders to the servants, and, too, she bad been heard to observe that nh'u carned her * mission " money by saving ‘rags,” 28 thers was, necessarily. much * cntting ” and “gitting” going on in such a housenold, ehe pained quite an *income " from them. These Tittle items set him to thinking aud plannivg. He consulted with mother this time, and she told him * 1t was man’s work to earn the money and woman's work tosave in,”and that if ho waa_going to be a married man, which she sin- cerely hoped ho would be, he onght to be saving Dis money for a house and lot, 333 young man with honorable intentions should bé able to lay that, with his love, at the feet of a sensible girl, if bo expects the answer he dogires ; or if well on the road to a home, get ber promise, which be will not fail to do, to wait with him, until a homo is provided. Each year brought the increase of €5 per week on his galurs, and at the end of four years ho took bis now affianced wife with um one after- noon to get ler opivion of a cottage and lot, Bitaated 1o 8 plessant street, though just asdo from the fashionable part, which could be bocght, cash down, for 81,600, becsuse tho pres- et owner must gell. Thia was just tho sensible thing, and the purchase was made. The young lady svent her waitiog days in pre- paring her part of tho housakeeping articles, 2nd made every purchase with an eye tostrict economy in the future, buying ouly good, dura- ble things. Wien my grandson was abont 26 years old, ho msed his vacation-timg to get married in, aud the two wise heads farmished their house nicely, and with comforts, and using their Bibles more than their opera-giasses, and cuitivating simple, bealthful tastes in place of becoming epicures and gouty. When the second year of macried life cswe and found servant, nurse, and doctor's biils necessary, thoy had it saved in the bank. B So that nov, a8 I see them so happy and con- tented, having duties and plonsures enough to keep them from envious feeungs, Ifeol it my duty to say that & thorough resding of the 16th chapterof Luke in s child-like, trustful, sincere epirit. will Go more in setting this knotty matier straight than so much _attention givea to other people’s way of doing things. i “He that i faithful in that which is least, i faitbfal also in much.” Be honess yourself, and demaod honest treatment from others. No womauly gitl wil ever fail to inake such a man a good, oconomical wife. “ GRANDMOTHEE.” ADVICE TO INNOCENT MAIDENS. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune ; €micAc0, Sept. 16.—While the subject of ma- trimony is being extensively discussed in your columns, I think a fow words of almonition to the innocent maidens who ars advised to rush g0 hastily into the state of matrimony would not bo untimely, and I therefore request s small space in yoae columns for that purpose. In this letter I propose treating that member of society which. for convenience sake, will be cailed ™ tho respectabla vagabond.” This animal (for be is nothing more) ia most commonly fonnd in the gay acd glirtering so- ciety circles; he is always finely dressed, adorned with jewels, and may be seen at the exposition, on the boalevard, and in the parks. He appears at the theatros, is gonteel, respecta- bly connectad, aad, in & word, oneof the elite of the city. 1o talks in & pious, Lterary, and tal- ented maaner to the ladies. In Msy, he loves 10 one but Miss Smith. In Jeog he offers him-* gelf to Miss White. In July he is dead in love with Miss Williams, and in August he would even die for Miss Jonss. So, like the faithful moon, he keeps up his monthly changes all the year round. This modern young man who is g0 respectably connected, and who occupies such a hizh sooral position, 18 usually most unfit to marry any true woman. If vou young ladies could see him when he is wita his male companions you could better judge of his trae character. Among a large number of youog men, of “ the best families in the city,” I koow of but vers few wihoare froe from bad babits, sod who are fit company, for respectable yoang ladies, 1 know of on yougg mea in His city, who is highly connected, nud 15 supposed to bs of good moral character, who was arrested and sent to the Bridewell for drunkenness. I havo hesrd of sdfther of these *nobby” young men who calls on and invites out re- apectable young ladios, tell of visiting & den of infamy. : A youog lady of my scquaintance, who mar- ried one of these * highly connected and ro- spectable " young vagabonds, learned while on her wedding trip that her husbsad was travel- ing on money which he had stolen from his em- plovers. 3 Another lady who married one of these ex- quisites said that her husband did not give her money enough to.pay her servant-girl. 1bave seen a great many of the young men who associate with the highest clasa of. young Indies, under the pretense of being honorable, who, when they were witb their * chums,” woald talk in a vulgar manner of the same young ladies to whom they had been so kind and gracioue. If the young ladies could only hear the coarse re- marks of these * nobby” gents when they are commenting upon them, they would feel more inclined to reject’their compliments than to re- ceive tkem with tavor. In conclusion, allow me to refer to one of the Isttors in the last AMonday's edition of Tur TrisuNe. The correspondent.admits that he **was once addicted to drink,” and the drift of his argument seems to b that it is realy no ob- jection to & young man that he is going about from ealoon to saloon while unmarried; for, if some nice, clean, pure, and innocent maiden would only take pity on him and marry him, he won!d reform and forthwith become s model busband. Girls, don’t believe this sort of pon- sense, Never marry such & man aa * Ajax,” for thal's the kind of man who, when their wives get sick and bouselold troubles thicken, seaks consolation in their old haunts. 1t may be necessary to put your father and brother to considerable trouble, and for your- selves to wait for some time, in order to ascer- tain the true character of the man with whom you may be pleased, but you know the maxim, “Those who marry ia haste repeut at leisure,” and in this most momentous matter, more than in aoything else, you bsd better, like Davy Crocke:t, **be sure you're right before you go ahead.” Yours respectfully, Fraxc B. H. DAISY'S THOUGHTS. To the Editor of The Chicago iribu) ExaLEwoop, Sept. 7.—I have *held in” and preserved a silence as long as my naturally out- spoken inclination will allow. I am & yonaog lady rejocing in my 20th year, at present residing in the * engaged stato; " consequently, have no expericnco of interest to offer, but can tell what I know to be true. A great number of thesc epistles T have read with pleasure, many with indigoation ! Asfor the six lonely, cigar-store-supporziog ing individusals, words cannot express my con- tempt! If they haven't some of their lofty idess knocked out oY them by this time, and new ones in their places, it is because they are oo unworthy for any woman alive. Regarding “our girls" nowadays, every one koows—younggentiemen of sense not excepted— that they mav be divided in two_ classes,—those who think sole)y of fashion, and wear their lives out for 1ts sake, and those who have heurts for trath, uséfuluess. and goodness. Oh! yonng men! While you require so mach of us, do yoa ever give a thought to your own imperfect selves? Take one of your pumber now, pick him to pieces by piecemeal, criticise oach failiag sop- arately, pat lum togezher again, sud how will Le stand ? 1 speak of the average young man of the day, for I know there 810 among you some that are good sud pure; but remember, be lenient, and uot harsh in your judgment of us, for yoa are often, very ofteu, viewiog us from & wrong standpoint. If there arc 8o _many extravagani girls. and tho young mea have 80 manv fears regardiag tlus failing, [ can safely: statethat there is & great deal of solicitude—moro thzau one woald realize—on the part of the gir's rezarding the extiavaganco of thair fature busbsuds.

To the Editor of The Chicago 1yibune : Ccaco, Sept, 18.—I asy, boys, here's a go! “Nettio W.” says “wo part our bair in tho middle and wear silk underclothes, and carry pilk bandkerchiefs, and ean’t ride in a street- car withoat patting & scented "kerchief to our delicate proboscis.” Good Lord!'if she counld only look into our *‘dens” and eee the worn underelothea fall of hules, shirts that the laun- dresses have torn to pieces by running the iron through the putton-holes, handkerchiofs that sre washed out and often ‘‘boly,” socks worn out heel and toe, and lots of other trash. Ha! ha! how she would be surprised! And if she only saw Lhow much worse places we went into without the use of scented ’kerchiefs, she would’ also be surprised. Am I not right? But this is not to the question. Itisnot our own extravagance that we are discussing; it is theirs. The girls want to know why we do not marry, and we tell them it is their fashionable * foibles that we dread; it makes no diferenco how much we spend our own monay; woearn it, and if we can't afford the additional luxury of & wife we wou't have it. Wo do not ask them to pick us ont. They of courso have the right of refusal, but we can get along all 0. E. without being martied. Then if wecannot afford to keep & wifo with ad her modern peccadilloes, why should we do so? There is no justice in aaking & soung man to harness himself to & girl whether he will or no. The young man of o- day is living too comfortably now to tio himsolf up to a woman cf fashion. Al the girls write abont our oxtravagant habits. That'sout of the question. We are uot marrying each other; we marry them, and if they don'tsuit us wo pass. Wo do the asking, and if we don't askit's all right. Any ope of us cau ask and can receive, if 1 one, thon some other; bus they don’t have the chance to ask us, and if some man doos nob ask them, they ‘‘get left.” Therefore it i8 but ,right that they should show themselves to advantage that they may be askod, and the .chances are they will accept. There's too many of them ** waiting to be axed ", a8 the girl #aid, to refuse, even if the young man is a Lttle ** off color,” and the chances are that he 18, for almost all are, at this day. So, as the matter stands, 1t is not our habits, but theirs; forif we do not ask **where aro they?” And yet oll thess girls (hink they cax. make us repent of our ways and take a wife by writing of our ex¢ravagance or extolling thewr economy ; yet they do uot answer tho question, “ whether the fashions they affect is not the cauge of our distaste for matrimony?” They dare not say it -i8 mnot; thoy koow wo dislifo these shxms, sod hate theso makeups, and that's the roason wo willnot choose from their midst. No. rather live single forever, than choose such base im- itations of women! I am spveaking of our city society, not of the country lass. There is just about a8 much against them the other way. So the young men of Chicago or other largo cities look tor an impiovement of city-vred gicls, If they will only leave those_ detestable fashions, aod try and recuperate the lost character of their sex, then there may perhaps be some chance of shewr being asked in marriage.

FReE, FREDRICO’S SQUIB, Tothe Editor of 1he Chiwcago Iribuns ; Cmcaco, Sept. 13.—Hsaving been an attentive peruser of the correspondence *“The Youug People,” I bag leave to say & fow words, in case this subject is still open for further discussion.

Now, I would gladly offer my heart and my hsnd to any girl resembling that woman in Washington Ir- ving's sketch, *“The Wife.” * Marguente™ or “Ono of Chicago’s Daughters” are also worth winning; it1s only to be regretted, that one seldom meets with such girls nowa- days.

Collections Not Improving: Scanty 0f- " ferings of Commercial Paper. The Produce Markets Irregular---Pro- visions Quiet and Firm. Breadstuffs Generally Weak—Wheat and - Qorn. Heavy—Freights Duell, FINANCIAL. ‘The financial situstion s unchanged. The weather and tho light demand for breadatuffa have checked the flow of currency to the grain districts, but the appli- cations from country banks for funds have increased. This i5 & atural result of the dacreased supply of cur- roncy. The country banks find it necessary to carry their customers, who, under & brisker markoting of the crope, would have been enabled by their fall eales to the country people to take care of themselves, Col- lections are nlso slow, and there are in consequence some additional spplications from city sources for bauk favors. Outside of this movement, which i not of a kind to sdd much to the cheerfulness of the situation, everthing is guiet. Board-of-Trade ‘paper is scarce, and mercantils paper, althongh of first- clasa quality, ia of insufficient quantity to absorb the surplus of the banks. Rates of disconnt are @10 per cent to regular. customers. Independent borrowers #re gladly sccommodated on eagier torms, and can get all the accommodstion they need at 6@$ per ceat for loans on eall or short time, On the street, thereis little doing in good puper, a0d none other inds a market, Rates are 6@18 per cent. New York exchange grows firmer in view of the small movement of currency to the countrs, and was sold at 25@50¢ discount between banks for $1,000. The orders from the conntry for currency aro light. The clearinga were $3,51,167.03 on Saturdsy; for the week they were $2),082,176.94, againat $18,890,450.62 for the corresponding week of Last year. 10SS OF LEGAL-TENDERS BY THE NEW YORK BANKS. The New York bankn are beginning to ship currency £0 the South s well ss to the West, and theso shipmenta aro made up almost entirely of legal-tenders, 8o’ that the bank reserves herevill feel andshow the loss, With the legal-tender resarve down $5,000,000 sower, the loan market should show activity and rates ad- vance, It certainly will if general trade is good a8 the season advances, and a riseto 5@6@7 per cent for call loans in Wall strect, if brought about by such canses, will bo the best sign possible, Our accounts in regard to trade are that a more saticfactory business 1s doing than in any sesson sinca the panic.

The New York Daily Sulletin respectfally requests the attention of the Chicago Inter-Ocean to an article inthe Bulletin of Sept. 3, 1m which it was ahown that an array of etatitics sdduced by tne Intsr-Ocean lo demonstrate that the per capita amount of our ex- ports bad immensely increased under the lsst four- toon years of high tariff was in error o the extent of about §1,500,000,000, sad that other important considerstions wero overlooked whick whol- ly invalidated its conciusions.

We deem this the mory necessary becauso other jour- nals have quoted the blunder without correction, in- cluding the Commereiat Aduertiser of this city, which on Wednesday adopted the figures as ¢proofs con- clsive that our doniestic esports and import entries increase’ more rapidly under protection tban free trade;” and to which, therefore, this correction ap- plies, a8 well asto the widely-mistaken authority from which {t quotes.” THE SUSPENDED JACQUES-CARTIER BANE.

Coming on the heels of previons weakness, the move- ment was marked by the calling of many margins, especually in wheat and carn, snd considerable amounts of money wers posted, though in tho' msjority of cases the longa seemed Qisposed to settle their deals st present losses, The shipping moventent was slow, the trading being chiefly speculative. Thé'domestic dry-goods market presented no fea- tures eseentially different from those prevalent for several days previous. The recent cool weather has given an fmpetus to the distribotion of fall and winter fabrics, and tho sggregate of the pest week's sales was large and fully up to the expectation of the trade. Values remain steady and firm, There was a fairly satiafactory movement in staple and fancy groce- ries at gemerally steady prices. The exceptions were sugars, which wers firm at an o sdvance, and rice, which was quoted “off » a ic. The incressed strongth in sugars was in consequence of reports from New Yok to'the effect that stocka there are held off the market in anticipation of an ad- vance. The quotations of rice were cuf down o ic. Coifees were strong, and sirups, molasses, teas, spices, and soaps were also held firmly. Butter was in active local snd shipping demand, and was held at fully former quotations. Cheese remains quiet and ua- changed. Tho fish trade waa only moderately active Prices remmn a8 before. In the dried fruit.markef the situstion was much the samoaa on the earlier days of the week, quiet pervadingall departments, Bug- ging, coal, wood, leather, ‘and paints were quoted quiet and nominally tinchanged. Theofl market was firm for carbon, turpentine, and whale, the former being held » ahade higher. The cattle market was weak and unsettled under the too liberal offerings. As compared with Thursday’s quotations sales indicated a decline of 15@25c. In- ferior to extra Datives were salable st $2.50@6.50, snd Texans at $2.508400. Tha receipts were about 1,700 hesd. Hogs were steady at Friday'a closing prices. The tight supply—3,500 head—was principally taken by shippers, at $7.50@9.50 for common to extrs. Sheep were dull'at $1,30@3:25 for poor toextra. The re- ceipta for the week were 19,100 cattle; 32,100 hogs, 4nd 6,613 shicep. For tha corresponding week list year they were 15,761 cattle; 03,619 hogs, and 4,302 sheep, Lake freights werd dull and unchanged, st 23¢c for wheat to Buffalo, Highwines were active and firm at $1.15 per gallon. Lumber was active at the yards snd docks. Prices were unchanged. The domand for steel andiron is very fair, and the general market is steadier than for some time past, owing to the scarcity and consequen® frmness of plgiron. The wool market re- mains quiet. Coarse wools are moving out on orders, but fine. fleeces are dull Broom-corn i in fair request and steady at present quotations, Hops 80ld to a moderats extent at the recently reduced prices. The receipts during the present week are ex- pected to ba large, and prices bid fair to rule low dar- ing & goodpart of the year, unless a foreign demand should spring up, as the domestic crop is a very large one, and has been secured in a good condition, Tim~ othy hay was firm Satarday, ~vingin demand for snip- ment and scarce, While prairie was easy under larger offerings; which caused sellers to hold off for conces- sions, Seeds were quiet, exceps timotby, which was ouly fairly active and weak, except the higher grades, Green fruits generally sold to a fair extent, and some vardetles were higher, owing to light offeringa. Vego. table were dull, in fact almost unsalable on the sireet, Bweet potatoes being about the only kind that attracted any attention, and they were easy under largs offer. ings. Poultry sold st lower figures; and egge were higher. PROVISIONS.

MEsa Pozs—Was comparativoly qulet, and 5o per | ‘brl higher, There was a light demand, but the mar- | ket was wall held by the parties who bave the contzoll- ing interest, and littlo was offered for sale.

Buyers held off for lower prices on pld, which sellers were slow to grant, having little to sell, 2na they did not care to take hold of -tha new at con- censions, the quality not being satisfactory. Sales were limited to 200 brls winters, partly at $6.50; 500 bris spring extras st $6.00@6.61%; and 100 bris ryo flour at £465. Total, 900 brls.

The break began in ths October deal, under liveral offerings, chistly from parties who were alrosdy short, but accompanied by holders who tried to un- load,” Then the Scptember longs tried tosell They hiad held off persistently forseveral days, anticlpating o partial aqueeze at the end of tho month, as there is very little No. 2 here. But the shorts were not troubled about the situation, and the other side at length suc- cumbed amid the gencral wealmess, The farmara’ de- liveriea in England are reported to be unusually large, ‘with big stock of old wheat on hand, and granaries s0 full that storage for American consigmments can be _obtained only ~ with -dificay.

Under this circumstance, the feeling is quite bearish, and the beir element will probably put out a very long line of shorls in_consequence, which may bring about a reaction when they want to fill, Seller October opened at_ §1.00%, rece rose to $1.09, and deciined to S1.07% $1.07%(, snd closed at $1.07i¢. very quiet at ¥@3{c_above October.
