Cmicaco, I, Oct. 18.—~As Mr. O. C. Gibbs has now returned and has reported on what T requested that he should in my letter published in your paper of Aug. 20, aud has veritied what T therem stated with reference to renting lunds, 1 beg space to say 3 few words in behalf of the interest Irepresent. Qur Association is com- posed of Jaud-owners who have no connection with railroads furthier than to be friendlyto all. No man should go to Texas who cannot take with him undoubted evideace of bis worth, and, unless he takes letters to good people thece ffom parties here that are Known, he had better stav away. Our State has been cursed by an immieration induced by bad agencies,—s0 much thata stranger going there without letters is very apt to be looked upon as some dead-beat, to disprove which re- quires time and the loss of guod trade. In reatine lands a credit is dispeused to the tenant. The more worthy of this credit he is the greater the credit, and the better Lhe oppo tunity afforded to make a livine. What others may do we are not saying or caring, but we are not sending parties to our asseciates who cannot show upa zood record. To that class we our- selves pledae good-paying positions and places strect, 40 feet, south front, with building, §12,000; three yearsat 9 percent. ¢ CONTARLTIVE STATEMENT FOR THE WEZR ENDING ocr._20. = i85 | 18w Inetruments — ———— —— [ | Ciiderat'n !

We are not trying to do a biz business, buta good, sufe; honest ome, the cridence of which we hold to show to any one. None ot our associates charze parties for pro- curine them homes. We have onour tables let- ters from the best peonle in our State stating their wants, and which are free to be inspected by every person calliug on us. That we, tell as many men not to go to Texas as we cntourage 10 0, is a fact,—for one-half who want 1o go, if we or your charitable people would pay tueir way, are a shiftless, worthiess, communistic set, whom we do not want. We have never yet failed to provide a and place for every good honest man that has called on us meanini business, however poor he mizit be. There is no more room in Texas for law- vers, doctors, clerks, or those wantng light jobs, genteel employment, or something for nothing.

Curcaco, Oct. 19.—1 unotice with surprise the accusation made against Mrs. N. Vandevoort causing the death of her husband. Between three aud four munths previous to the death of Mr. Neison Vandevoort I had said to him sub- stantially that there was not only no cure to be hoped for in his case, but that the influence of any known medicine on the course of his disease wasso slirht, doubtful, and even detrimental, that I advised him not to squander bis little means on doctors’ fees or drugeists’ compounds. The paticnt came into v hands from Dr. Walter. Hav, Iate resident of this city. le had tested the wine for suegar; I tested it. Albert E. Elart, one of our first chemists, had tested it; we all found that he baa *‘diabetes mellitvs” in a very acute form, which discase exhausted his vitality. le became aropsical, he lost his appetite and flesh, and wasted uway to a skeleton, except when he bloated with _ dropsical effa- sions about the abdomen, feet. and face. He for several months had signs of tubercular disorgauization of the lungs, coush, initative fever, and the usual physical sicus of the disease. Overwhelmed by these grave and multitudinous ills, the man died a natural death from disease, and no oue not a fiend or a fool could, with a knowledge of the true state of affairs, come to any other conclusion. To vase his sufferings in the Last stages of is disease and 10 procure sleep, he took opiates, at wights usuall ¥, ouee in awhile possibly in the dagtime, but always in a safe, suitable dose, never in toxic or danger- ous quantitics. All the prescrintions are on record, and may be ecsamined. He had been seriously sick from Junuary, 1876, and died in September. 1 write this without sceing or advising with Mrs. Vaudevoort or any one clse. Mrs, V. was a most kind and ex- emplary furses, all through Lis iliness, so far as could observe, entirely devoted to her charge. Apropos of the 65 £aid 1o have zone to the doctor, I wish to state 1t was not received by me,—the services in his last illness not having been’ settled for yet, and being less than two-thirds of that amount, In conclusion, Infinite Wisdom without doubt bas ~discovered a raion detre for rare £pecimens of the genus homo, anomalies in the common current of humanity. who may find a reason for their action 1 malignantly charging the funocent with beinous crimes and endear- oring to add to the pain of unfeigned sorrow the sting and venom of the most hor- rible cafumny.

There are some offerings of paper for discouut in order to disconnt Vills due East, but the totat demand for loans {s not suflicient to keep the funds of the Ganks in act- ive use.

Until Oct. 1 there was quite encouragmg improvement. Had it continued in fui} proportion, the buuk exchanzes at the twelve chief cities_tor_two weeks of Octo- would have reached 31,430,000 000, without ny incrense of stock transactions here to swell the regate. Instead, we have exchanges amount- 0 only $1.285. 548, 201, awinst §1, 245,277, - duriug the corresponding wecks last year,—an_increase of cnly $59,270.000; and yet the sales of stock were larger by 765,000 #haree than those of the two weeks last year, which would accasion un, increase of at least §42, - 000.000 in exchanges. In uddition, there were Leavy payments list week, amonnting to many millious, in settlement for + ver cent bonde, Moreover. thie operations of eeveral lare banks at San Francisco, which were not in the Clesring- Touse last yeur, are now included, adding proba- bly more thian §1.000.000 each tweek t0 the re- corded exchanges, but uot to the uctual transac- tions, Thus~ the agoregate gain disappear: nouwithstanding the laree increase tu.grein ope tions, amountiny to nearly 50 per cent at Milwan- kee. - In #pite of the grain movement, Chicngo re- turns declining exchanges; vut for that movement loss would probably appear st Cincinnati and Bal- timore, and 1083 in vther than stuck business here. The following shows the actual exchanges for two weeks ending vet. 13, 1377, and two weeks ending Oct. 14, 1576. escepting that the exchanges of the Inst week at Sin Francisco this year are vstimated at $11.000,000.

The smallness of shipments here, the personal reports of wholesale dealers, the stoppage of the cotton mills at Fall River, aud the siukinz price of coal indicate that those who expected least as to Octo- ver are apt 10 be least disappointed. THE COE RESUMPTION PLAN. The Bulletin, of New York, denies, with an ap- pearance of authority, some misstatements of the New York Tribune with regard to the plan for the resumption of spccie-payments, which bas been prepared by Mr. Coe, President of the American Exchange National Lok of New York: The Committee appointed at_the recent Bankers' Convention for considering Mr. Coc's proposal Tiave not yet met to consider the echicme, nor nave they taken any action whatever_in reference to ft. The question hus not been brought before the Clearing-1ouse, nor bas it been in iny way recog- nized or considéred by the banks of this city be- yond un entirely informal consideration of it some wweeka ago by eome half-dozeu bank officers, who met to exchange opinions upon it at Mr. Coc’s re— quest. There Is no co-operstion between tho Danks about_the matter, nor have the Qrst steps Deen taken towards prometing any Joint action: and the greatdivereity of opinion that we find to csistamong baunk munazers about the sugrestion ie ol very encoursging to any prospect of the bauks: combining in"any such movement, Any, therefore, who may have taken alarm at the 7rio- une's atatements wiiggestive of u bunking revolation may safely quict their fears.

New York was stronger on wheat Saturday, at the carly call, and some telegrams from that city referred to the fact as the result of manipulation fn the interest of Western operators. It was prob- abiy a direct consequence of the strength here the nrevious day, which was chiefly due to . continued rain. The Welland Canal will be closed about the 1st of December, and remain closed till May 3. During the interval substantial repairs will be made. There has already been rain enoush in the North- west to put an effectual stopper on the early mar- keting of corn of the new crop; and operators in corn are di¢posed to think that that will materlally helpthe price of the old. Witha dry antumn we should probably bave had much corn arnve here in the early winter that would have apoiled in the spring. The wet weather bas so much diminished deliv- eries of grain in the country that there is no longer an urgent cry {Or mOre CArs, —eXcept on one or two roads We note that shippers along the linc of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railrond are still crying ont about luck of transportation facilities, and some of them are marketing their corn in St. Louis and Peoria because they cannot send it bere. The new departure in the provision trade, to which we have already adverted, was discussed at some length Saturday on 'Change. The packers claim that m establishing ageacids at consuming noints they are working to extend the already mammoth provision trade of Chicago. Some of the commission merchants regard the case in a widely different light, They say that but for the speculative ‘trade in provisions the cash em could never have been introduced, nor could it be maintatned; and that without the or- der trade the #peculative department will vanish, in which case the packers may close up their storage sccount, wlich with one firm alone amounts to be about $200,000 per annum. The new movement certamly threatens a large reduc- tlon of trading in the Chicazo provision murket, wwith all that the phrase implice, which in this case may be a great deal. The leading produce markets were quite irregu- lar Saturday. The weather was still bad, and grain receipts small; but this fact had little influ- ence outside of corn and oats, which were stronger. Provisions were tame and easy, though hugs were higher, Wheat weakened %c ecarly, aua after- wards recovered. Freights were very dull, the trading being chiefly tocal. There was a rather quiet market for domestic dry-goods. The disureeable weather of the past few days has caused a aiministed demand, both from the city and interior trude, snd in most de- partments of the market busincss was slack. ln values no important chunges were noted. the gen- eral tenor of prices being one of stendiness. The grocery market, though quiet in compunson with the early daysof the week, was reasonably active for the time of year, und prices were uniformly well sustaiued. Stocks of sugars are light, and holglers are firm in their views. Coffecs are in fuli supply aud remain easy. though the opinion scems to prevail that prices are not going much lower. Teas, rice, sirups. and molasees were eteady. There was a quict feeling in the dried-fruit market, Prices remaming as hefore. Fish were 1o mod- erate requestat steady fizares. Dealers 1n batter reported & fairly active demand, snda firm and steady market was witnessed. Cheese remained quiet und unchanged. None of the features of leather, tobacco, bagring, coal, and wood markets showed any pronvunced change. Oats were dealt rather spanngly, the weather being againstan active movement. ~ Prices were unchanged. Hogs were lirmer early, but closed tame st Fri- day's quotations, or at $4.30%5.00 for light weights, and at §4.75@5.25 for heavy. Cattie were dull and unsettled, with sales on a basis of $2.50@5.50 for common to extra, Sheep were in- Betive at 32. 75@+.25 per 100 1bs. Lumber continues in good demand and firm, The bad weather has delayed the filling of orders, but country merchants are atill liberal busers, and the yard dealers report no perceptible” decrease in trade. The offerings ut the docks sold readily at the advance lately established. The wool market was quiet and tir. Liroom-corn was steady under 4 fair order demand, chielly from the East, and the sales were principally ot new corn, the reccipts of which are not heavy endugh to depress the mar- ke, Seeds were quet_and generally steady.’ Hides declined 3%@!sc, and closed weak. Tanners refuse to purchuse, and dealers are doing littie evenatthe decline. Green fruits were dull and lower. Poultry was almost unsalable, though free- 1y offered at reduced prices. Lake frelghts were dull and entirely nominal at sbont 4c on corn to Buffalo. Room was reported taken for 32,000 bu corn. Through rates to New York by lake and rail were quoted at 19@19%c on wheat and 18@18i5c oncorn, TRail freights were steady at the recent advance. Rates on grain, and other fourth-claes arc now 40c to New York, 37cto Baltimore, 38cto Phil- adelphia, 45c to Boston and other New England poluts, and 35¢ to Montreal. Boxed mesws were than grain.
