THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, JULY. 29, 1877—-SIXTEEN PAGES 13 ‘An Improvement in Local Finances— Effect of Previous Interruptions, The Produce Markets Moderately Act- ive, and Generally Easier, Large Beceipts of Grain Expected This Week—4 Small Demand for Skipment. ‘The Week’s Movement of Breadstuffs and Hog Product. : FINANCIAL. ‘Tue dissppearance of the danger of siege waa followed by much better feeling in local finances. Counter traneactions improved, but the clearings, wbich in the main represent the operations of the eng day, Were naturally very Jight. ‘The demand for bank uccommodations is likely esperigace sorie temporary increaee asa result of the interruption of the strike. A great many re- gittances have been delayed, and receipts from segalar commerce and manufacturing cut of by she compulsory cessation of business. Many per- sons who had reason to believe themselves inde- pendent of the banks will find it necessary to ask for accommodations. In such cases the banks are, ass tule. pursning a liberal and considerate policy. Rates of diecount were S@10 per ceut at the tanks to regular cus.omers, New York exchange was firmer, and sold be- tween banks at 50c@S1. 00 per $1,000 discount.

Phe imports of June, 1877, were $14,959,825 greater than those of June, 1876: its exports were $3,278,505 less than those of the latter month. ‘This improvement in imports has been observable since Febraary, and in the four months of Maren, April, Nay, and June has made a gain of $30, 300, - 000 over the corresponding time of 1870. We are also able to give the imports and expotte for the twelvemonths ending June 30 last, by semi-annual periods end for the whole year. Taking the statis- tics for the year, and comparing them with the fz- ures for 1875-6, the improvement we have spoken of disappears. Since the cain of imports bos oc- curred only in the later months of the year, naturally # has not been larze enongh to counter- act the downward progress of the preceding eight months.

The last fiscal year saw thle movement greatly diminished, The im- ports of guid and silver were $40, 700,000 and the exports $56,000,000. The net shipmen:s Were $15,300,000; in the preceding fiscal yenr they were $40,600,000: for the last fiftcen years the net specie exports annually have been $50,- 000,000. In the, last two years the exports have been $55,000,000. This is $44,000,000 less than the average, and as the’ production has been about the same as usual it seems to, follow that. this $44,000,000 haz beon added to the stock of pre- cious metals in the United Srates, aud most of this $44,000,000 has gone into the silver circn- lation, GOLD AND GREENBACKS.

J. ile was reported on ‘Change Saturday, and appropriate reselutions adopted in regard to his memory, Reports from Iowa and Wisconsin indicate that the wheat harveet is progressing very satisfactori- ly, and the yield is good. Several times bus the inquiry been addreeeed to us, Why is there uot a market for winter wheat in Chicago? There are now not lees than 2,000,000. buon the Hlinois Central which would come bere if there were a market fur it. The demand in this city ig not usuaily good for winter wheat, but there ig generally capital enough here willing to take bold of anything that offers a fair profit for the use ofthe mones. The dificulty at present secme to Ne in the fuct that bolders of winter wheat expect to be able to realize a premium over the price for epring, while cash spring wheat is held relatively tuo ligh to permit of 2 premium being paid. The duly pressure will soon be over. and then it fs not imposyible that the prices offered for winter wheat in this market will compare favorably with those paid for the “straight ” article. Conimercial circles were reassured and commer- cial relations re-established, Saturday, The railroad trains were running on most of the roads, some giving notice that they were aa active ag usual, and by Monday all will undoubtedly be busily engazed jn making amends for the enforced idleness of this week. The receipts of produce were smailer than the average, as it takes two or three days at least to re-cvtablich relations with the country, bat the arrivals gave promise of better things this weck. ‘The weather was very sultry. and that tended to retard trading by keeping operators away from tbe crowd 23 much as possible, while tne advices from other pointe were rather unfavorable to holders. ‘The demand for domestic dry-goods probably equaled general expectations, as not mach is ex- pected at this stage of the season. Beyond such articles and such quantities as are required for the reaseortment of stocks, there ie at the moment no considerable movement, and, while prices of toth cotton and woolen textiles arc exceptionally strong, there is not lixely to be any genera) advance until the falltrade sets in. Groceries were reasonably active, and generally firm. The movement to the interior continues of gencrous proportions, ani, asno suppiies from the East (except by boat) are arriving as yet, the stocks hete are being etezdily reduced. and prices are hardening. Sugars were active, and were firm at the advance noted on Fri- day. Coffece were strong. The dried-fruit trade was quiet, apples and prunes alone receiving much sttention, Apples are advancing, a5 moet of the stock in the West is now held by speculators. Fish were in good demand, and were firm, mack- erel and cod especially #0. Prices of butter were tirm, and higher than at the berimning of the week, fancy grades selling up to 23G25c. Cheese as dull and nominally unchanged. Nothing new of importance was developed in the market for oils, paints, and colors. Leather, begging, tobacco, coal, and wood were quoted as before. 5 Business at the Stock-Yarda displayed more life than on either of the preceding days of the week, aud among all classes of operators 2 more cheerful feeling prevailed. For the last day of the week the receipts were only a little beloiv the average, stock- trains arriving by the C, & N, W.,theC..B. & Q., the R. 1., aad. & St. P., bringing in the aggre- gate 1,287 ‘cattle, 2,000 hogs, and 725 sbeep. During Friday night there were loaded andehipped East on the'Michigan’ Central 2,204 head of cattle and 436 hoes. The enme road was forwarding stock on Siturday, but neither of the other lines sent ont any stock-trains. Prices were firmer all around, hojs advancing 10c and sheep 18@25c per 100 Ibs. Quotations were $3.00G6,50 for cattle, $5.00@5.25 for nogs, and $3.50@5.75 for sheep. ‘The Jumber market was quiet and little better than nominal. Some of the down-town yards were filing ordeés, but in the South Branch district business was practically euspenued. — Car- goes wer: almost unsalable. The wool market was steady and quiet. Dealers were filling some of their Eastern orders, and ex- pect to receive a good deal of wool this week. Broom-com, hay, hides, and sceds were quiet. ‘The offerings of potatoes, eggs, and poultry on the street were fair, and all were dull and easier. Groen fruits and vegetables were in small supply. Luke fretghts were quict and stronger, 4¢ per bu being paid'for corn in steamers and emall sailing yeesels to Sutfalo, with very little room offering. Room was taken for 20,000 bu wheat, 45,000 bu corn, 30,090 bu oats, and 10,520 bu rye. Rail freights were little better than nominal, Gram was quoted at 30c per 100 Ibs to New York, and 35¢ to Boston and New England points. Rates on boxed raeats were quoted at 5c above grain fg- ures.

He was writing a poem—at least he said he was. He had fimsved only one line. But that line was a jewel. He came to me last inonth with a gleam of joy in his eye, and a sweet sinile playing gently about his mouth, and he suid contidentially : ‘1 have started it.? “No,” L said, in surprise. Yes,” he replied; ‘just Usten: ‘Tiere is a beanty that is born of grace~"* “Beautiful; go on.” “Taavs all I have written,” he concluded, placidly and contentedly. “That's all? “That’s ally? he repeated, and he sat aown and put his feet on the table. J fooked into his eyes, and I saw he meant it. ‘Then sat down opposite him, aud I reasoned with him. { pleaded with him cafmly and, quietly. I talked tv hiut hut, whatever might be tbe excellence and originality of that one line, it did not constitute a poem. ” At all events, Lasked him toackuowledge that it did uot make an epic in Speuserian stanzas, and in six cantos. This he was obliged to admit. “Curther,” said J, warming up with a lofty determination to rescue a misguided mortal from the paths of error, “further, you cannut deny that it is wot an idyll in bladk verse—nor a pastoral inghexameters#”? “) dow? thnak you understand it,” sald he— ‘There is a beauty that iy born of grace—'" I replied that I fully appreciated the delicate charin ot Ube sentiment, and the elegance of the language. I was willing to concede thut, as far it went, it was a masterpiece—worthy of Byrou, of Swinburne, of Leunysun or—But it did not gu so far usit might. The extent of its pra- gression Was limited. But,” he resumed, entirely unruflied, “I Waut you to listen tu it with au unprejudiced mind. I am vot a professional puet. This is my first and only dip into verse, and 1 don't want to have it depreciated on that account— ‘There iva beauty that ia born of grace “I have teard you say, it? I responded, growing severe, “but I yet fail to see that fre- quent repetition of that one line adds anything to the length of the entire production,” “Dia L'say it did!” was his exasperating in- pir} ar Kept my temper with an effort, and resolved. to be mugnanimous, aud try to lead hin gently into the right “Now, if you had,” I suggested, “another live to rliyme with that one, you know, it would help it out. For instance, you might say: “There is a beauty that is born of grace, ‘That keeps perpetual Summmer;in her face." “1 won't do,” was his ungrateful and em- phatic rejoinder. J could not deny that the line was anything but original. — Moreover, the plirase |“ per- petual summer’? might be oven to utisconstruc- tion, and might be parodied. It would be un- pleasant if anvthing were suid about a“per- petual picnic,” or a perpetual circus *—two variations which would instantaneously suggest themselves to the profane mind. So I offered him another line. “Perhaps you would like something musicat and alliterative; sometuing Swinburnean, such ‘A lovelicht lingering in her face," or something like that??? “Love-lzht? be blowed. Nothing of the sort. You hayen’t caught the idea. It nasn’t austhing to do with her face. I know just what T want to say, but I can’t say it. Something about ‘gallop apace’ ought to come in there Then, again, rhyme doesn’t want to come in until the third line; there sa whole lot to be told in the second line, but I can’t just shape it into the proper words.” “You do, then, acknowledge the iny of the work as it wow stands?” said there's some chance of our coming to some- ‘ But ‘gallop apace’ isn’t what you want ”? ie said. what,” 1 demanded, ‘has ‘rallop apace’ sot to do with the subject? Do you young woman to gallop apace, OF are you talking about a mares You might as well at it: i “There is a beauty that is born of erace Like that observable in Jimmy Mace.” Yonsense !? he groveled. “Well,” I went on, feeling the poetic spirit working within me, “there are plenty of other rhymes. Suppose we try something like this: “There is a beauty that is born of grace Rather infrequent in the human race. '"" ““E will not have it,”2he roared, ‘I won't take any infernal idiotic sagzestions. That line will stand as it is. [’m going to send it to Wash- ington and have it copyrighted, if I never write auother line in the world.

An American Coffee-Pianter Bescribes the Virtnes and Vices of the Malagash, And Draws a Pen-Picture of the Strang- est Uncivil Service Under the Sno. Correspondence New York World. SDOVOLALY, Madagascar, Feb, 22, 1877.~The people are very friendly,and show a decided dispo- sition to cultivate the acquaintance of foreigners, Among themselves quarrels are of very rare oconr- Tence. They are hospitable, the traveler, whoever he bé. black or white, always fading shelter under their roof,and a dish of dry rice, if any. Lifeis very eafethronghout the land, and murders are almost unknown. Unfortunately these good qualities are counterbalanced by vices which education only can eradicate. The Mulagash is lazy, and addicted beyond all human conception tu lyluy. He lies without necessity, without compuleon of any kind. Who ever resided one month in this counay and was not thoronghly cured of belicving them? As for conscience, it is as rare as truth among them. ‘They cannot be trusted on any account. Should you need to send them on an errand, you must wait until you are indebted to them for a certain sum. or elve you will run the ris: of not seeing your messenger return for reversal days, if he re- turng at all. They steal rather through necessity than through depravity. They: will do 60 for eating, sometimes for drinking, but not for ac- cumulating wealth, as they desire none. They will occasionally appropriate to themselves a chicken, or a knife, but no-clothing or combersome property. Save these vices, Inberen® to their actual state of civilization, strangers will find the natives excessively affable and obliging, cspecially if they make themselves understood by them, “os otherwise they. might congtrue their’ -bashfulness into an “unwillingness to render a service. In their dealings with white employers they are generally fair, save with regard to the value of time. which ix an in- comprehensible thing for them.and hence their as tontshinent at the master's ides of baving one thing done to-aay when it can be done Just as well next week. Another peculiarity with them which T met with nowhere else iathespirit of solidarity which pervades among them, Shouldany one commit a delmquency of come kind or otter, all to the last will deny bav- ing any Knowledge of it, and no untount of reward or punishment ‘will induce them to betray the guilty; they will forfeit ali their wages rather than do so. Should you not denounce the delinquent at the very moment you sur- prise hii in the wet, and wait a Title time vefore exposing him, ‘you will find in all the same unanimity in denying all knowledge of the fact; and if, notwithstanding the © irrefutable proofs you may show against the ealorit. yon dis~ charge him or curtail. his wages, all will abandon your service forthwith, even to the forfeiture of their wayes: if not, expect that they will conspize to do sv at their eurliest convenience; but they will leave you. ‘Their form of government is an absolate mon- archy, occasionally controlled by murder. The sovereign is almighty: he is the master of his sub- Jecte’ lives, persons, ant property. The land be- longs to him exciasively, and occupants dwell on it “trough tolerance.” They can be ejected from it without warning, and no ‘ques- 4 tion fs allowed be ‘asked from the oillcer who executes the order. The Queen of-accursed memory. who died in 1862, had once sentan order to Princess F. to bring (o the capi talall her wardrobe, of which ene had heard so much. Her Majesty's will was obeyed immediate ly after the perusal of her Ietter, und she selected all that suited her fancy to the amount of $4,000, to the great satisfaction of the Princesa, who had = no words to express the joy she felt ut having pleased her sover- eign and mistress to that extent. Any hesitation on her part in complying with the Queen's will would tuve been followed with capital punishment. All, without exception, are the sovereign’s slaves, ‘The actual ruler now isalsoa woman.

Our Government should instet upon the necessity of extenuing the term of twenty-four years to nincty-nine years in leases between natives and foreigners, ‘The Malagash Government has been rendered ex- tremely euspicious toward foreigners, especially the French, in consequence of their unccazing attempts in past years at taking posession of tals land; and the. recognition of its independence by the three priveipal commercia! nations of the world has not yet removed their sus- picions entirely. “They are afraid that We are taking poskession uf it in. detail, their rulers judging of our social organization after their own, and beheving that our sovereigns can send us here aa traders and planters for thai pur- pose.

Spectat Correspondence of The Tribune. Nasuvize, Tenn., July 25.—A paper upon the “Region of Calms” will; in all probability, be read before the American Association for the Advancement of-Science, 200n to be held in this city,—that subject having recently been much discussed among local scientists. Since the es- tablishment of a Signal Odlice at this olace, {t has been scientifically developed tnat we have hereas plainly a marked region of calms as was ever known upon tlic ocean; and it is due to this natural phenomenon that the climate of Kentucky, Tennessce, North Alabama, North Georgia, and North Mississippi is so congenial. This region measures 300 tniles from north to south, commencing with the Obio River: and 300 miles from cast to west, the Mississippi River and the western ninges of the Alle- lines. It plrenies fonning the Vonndary as been observed over and over again that this locality is but little affected by the cold wares which sweep down the Mississippi Valley from. the northwest. These currents, upon reaching Cairo, are driven up the Ohio River Valley, across the country, to and out the St. Lawrence? cotisequently. the outer edge ony touches upon the locality which by common consent has be- come known as the ** Remon of Calins.""_ This region was also recently tested by Prof. King’s two batloon-ascensions at Nashville, and the one at Chattanoopa. It was discovered that it would be impossible for a balloon to make any- thing like a long Yoyaze, however desirable it might de,—the acrostat being constantly besct with calms, and its progress thus- constantly checked. Prof. King says that, while no great “distances can be traveled, a balloon will'more easily attain a greater height here than in any other portion of the country. In this peculiar locality the seasons are so well de- fined that, with the prover culture, the failure of crops ought to be very rare. It is an account of the important results made manifest through Dr. A. C. Ford, Sigual Otticer at this station, that the Professors of Vander- bit University have been induced to offer to the Government spacious apartments in that institution “for the use of the Signal Service, free of charge. This proposition has been sent, ‘on to Washinzton, with a strong indorsement from Dr, Ford, and Idonbt not it will be ac- cepted. Do: THE TRIBUNE BRANCH OFFICES.
