THE BREADSTUFYS TRADE. Loxpoy, Oct. 2.~Tne Mark Lane Expreas, in its weelly review of the British corn trade, eays: The weather the past week has been very fine. Apnpearances favor an carly and severe winter. Cold Is general over Europe. A fort- night almost free from rain has cuabled good progress to be made with the harvest fn the north. The cvent of the week lins been the Jarce shipment of wheat from the Atluntic ports. The immediate effect hos been the sudden cheek to trade, buyers bolding off {or the moment, but whether this Is reasonable in the present position and prospects of trade is open to questlon. It {a al2éddy ovident that we shinll not recelve the supplies we reckoned on from some quarters. India and Egypt wili not do HALP TIIAT WAS EXPECTED, As winter comes on supplics from Russis will be cut off. There retatns little to look for ex- cept from the Atlantic ports, and, with winter before us and the consumption of the country mainly on these wheats, it is hard to bellesethe autumn shipments can be niore than we need. At the monient whien this little panic is on, aud hiberul shipments of ono or two wecks are fmugined to bo more thau the trade can atand, it muy by wel to sugzeat that theso shipments are not unprece- deuted, aud to rezal) “the foct that in August, 2874 and 153 they were at the mte of 150,000 uatters per week. ” Burcly this year, when we 8 wheown alinost entirely on this source of supply for if Lhe winter, trade should not be shuken by shipments no larger than m former years, whicn our wants were less and sources of supply open which are now clos In forming judgment of future shipments, ther are other fucts aleo to by noted. Liboral shivmenta this month have not been effected nithout DRIVING PRICES UP ! on the other side. A change has evidently come over shippers slnce thoy were so cager to scil at low prices, Hesales bave been made here dally at about 53 shilling to b4 sbillngs per quarter for winter red, and 51 shiliings to 32 shillings for springz, but priced in New York and Baltimore are xehuvu y quite above these quotations. Tnis certalnly does not point to any extraordinary shipments this autumn from the Atlantic ports, and agy de- pression caused by this fear will VHODALLY BE TEMPORARY. 8ales of English wheat uoted lnst week were 57,040 quarters at 57, Ud, aralust 05,758 quar. ters at 47s, the previous year.

GREAT FORGERIES, Spectal Dupateh to The Chirazo Pribune, New Yorg, Oct. 2.—*Down.town' was electrified this norning by whispers of the dis- covery of & very large forgery, Involviug the puod nama of une of the most highly-respecta- ble business men of that reglon. As the day progresaud the rumors slowly took shape, and, shortlyatter 1 o’clock, a publicannouncement was made in the #tock Exchange, surning members to be on the lookout for sltcred scrip of the Atlantte Mutual Insurance Company. From that hour, sags the 7imes, thic strect was the acene of Intense commoatiou aud excltement, which constantly Increased as the enormous ex- tent of the awindles gradually developed. The accused gentletoan, who cannot be found, snd 1s a fugitive, Is Willlam C. Gilan, broker in Insurance and other scrip, havlug a hand- somely ftted-up officcon Plne strect. Mr. Gil- mun {sabout 82 years of age, marrivd, and with a family. Ie comes from one of the oldest and ost respectable New York families. His fther, from whom lre Inberited his business, waa a gentleman of the strictest probity, a man of wealth, moviug In the best of society, and an exemplary Christfan. He dled thirteen years ago, leaving Wiillam a snug fortune In cash and real property, The young nman was rearcd under the most rigid religious influcuces, and up to the present tme gave every evidenco that the seed thussown had taken root, Hixcredit wus unquestioned upon the street for almost any reasonable amount. He led » siomulatly qulet and retired e, devoted to his wite snd family, He bad no vices whatever, so far as known; did not Indulge in gambling or drink- ing; was not ziven to louse society, snd dis- vlayed no'fust propensitics of any kind. e was one of ,the most prominent mem- bers of the Rov. Dr. Ioughton's churel, and Superintendent of its Sunday-school, and otberwise smong; the foremost in deeds of plety. The Rev. Dr. Thomas, of tfe Tabernacle, marricd hfs sister. In his personal relations he was genial and modest, und was gencrally Nlked, He - conducted his business fn a seemingly conservative manncr, and was appar- ently thriving, It was not knmown that he evor speculated to the amount of a dollar, or that his financial affaics had ever become In any way embarrasscd. Bearing such a character, the announcement that he was o forger came on his friends and victims alike like a clup of thunder out of a clear sky. Soturday last Mr. Gilman went to Norwich, Conu., for the avowud purpose of bringing home ' his wifo and family. Hle had been In the habit of doing buslocss with Menry Talmage & Co., baukers ond brokers, No. 8 Pine street, borrowing mwoncy from them on Atlantic Mutual scrip, and other securitics. Friday they called one of their loans to him, aod hic smet it promotly- as usual. Monday, needing more money, they called an. other loan on him, but, finding he was out of town, sent oue. of two Atlantic Mutual certificates for $1,000 cach that he had hypotnecated with them as far back as Apri) 23 Iust, aud some Western Unlon stock to the ‘Third Nationdl Bank, where they were ac- qualnted, with o request for temporary ace commodation. The amwount savsuced to Gllman by Heory Talmage & Co. on these aud $1,000 worth of other good collateral was 818,000, The bank accvnted the securities and made a loan, but, subscquently becoming sus- picious of the Atlantic Mutual sceip, scnt around with a request that It be verificd. This he proceeded to do, taking both certificates to theoffice of the Cotnpany, at Wall and Willinw streets. A short examination of the books showed that each certificate had been * ralsed from $100, the originals for that amount being reiistered as having beon {ssued to Willlam C. Giliman. Thy knowledge of Gliman's rascality was con- flued to the geotlemen mentioned uutil this morning at asbout 1l o'clock, the officers of the Phenix Natlonal Bank, adjoining the Atlantic Motual Insurance Company, got wind of the matter, and, know- ing Gilman to have been a depositor In the American Excbaoge Natlonal Bank, corner ot Cedar street and Broadway, they immediately scot word to President Coe, who had an cramination made, He discovered ten scrlp certificates of the Attantic Mutual Insuaance Company of au apparent aggregate face value of 54,120, un which, 1n counection with other ~valuable securities, the bank bad loaned Gilmau up- wards of 850,000, The ten certiticates wers sont to the [Iusurance Company, where it was found that their azeregais urlxihul value had been but 1,300, In denomd- natlons of $30, §00, #100, aud one of $300, and that they had all 'beun ssued. in the name of Williaw™ C. Gilman. My Coe was distnclined to glve much information, but be sald the loss of the tank would not be 50 large as esti- mated by popular rumor. ‘Chis was reported at flrst at H(!u,wu. and My, Coe's cxpresalon was that it would not reach half of that. Mr. Coc said he had pever been so dumb- founded fo his hife. e had known Gilmau and his father for forty years, ’l‘n&-{ bud kept accountcoutinuallyduriog that period, He was inthuately acqualuted with young Gilmau's lp«mlon. character, aud pros- pects, and would lave trusted him to any amouut. Mr, Coe at once placed the case ln the bauds of ox-Detective McDouglas, whois fn the bank's ecmploy, aod that officer bastened to post men to watch Gilman's house and otlice, » clerk of the Aulantic Sutuat Com- pany lLaviog asscried tha: while un his way dowt town, about 9 a. m., be saw Gllman and Lis wils and faiaily cuter his residence on their return from the country. The detectives remainod at their post all day, but without result, Gilman had evidentl learned in some mysterious way that his rascal- ity had been discovered, aud he absconded. ‘About 3 o'clock a geutlemun who refused to Bive his name, or to say what bunk he was cun- nected with, called at tho office of the Atlantic Mutual lusursoce Compauy and pre- sented for examination three morv scrip certifi- cates of the Company of an apoareat face value of $35,000, un which Giltnsa Lud obtained loans. These nl‘s,u rnl:udfltgmllalnu been ?;umlllu Gil- mau, and their or aggregate valuo was found to be but §350.
