Aun American Cousular ofllver, now in Wash- ington on leave of absence, relates a very funny oceurrence which came under his observation during his offl residence in Liverpool.

Letter to Buflato Courier. Fully a ecore of hotel-tailures bave occurred in New York since the panic. Among the prin- cipal hotels which have changed hands Irom this cause are the St. James, the Astor House, the New Yoik, the Grand Union, the Winchester, and the Coleman, The Rossmore may beadded, with the explanation that the lessce, Mr. Le- land, surrendered it to the owner because he could not make it pay, not in_consequence of actual failure, for hehus not fafled. The transfer ot tne Metropolitan and the Rossmore tovk place on the rame day—Saturday last. In al- most every nstince of hotel-fuilure within the time named, the chief cause s been exorbitant rent. Managers have tricd to push onunder leuses made at war-figures, and mang have final- Iy had to succunb. The rents still paid Ly the priucipal hatels are decidedly stecp. The Fiith- Avenne Hotel property, including the six stores fronting on Broadway, briugs an annual sental of $200,000, The rent of the hote! proper is about $150,000. The rent of the stately Wind- sor, which bad just been brought up to a payme point when the owner, Mr. Daly, wandered off to a desolate spot near Calvary Cemetery, and committed suicid, is $125,000. Next to'this in steepnces wits the rent of the Metropolitan before the late reduction, namely, $110.000. The pro- prictors of the St. Nicholas have been paying 330,000, but I understand the figure has lazel been cut down somewhat. Mr. Breslin pays $40.000 for the Gilsey. The Lelands pay tie same for the Sturtevant, which, though not so stylish in its structure, i considerably larger than the Gilsey; and the Hoffman, about the same size as the Gilsey, also rents for $10,000. The New York and tue St. Denis are cach $35,000; and half 3 dozen others, including the Coleman, Albewarle, St. Cloud, Grand Central, aud Continental, rante from $30,000 to $:0,000. It is no easy matter to pay such rentsas these, and it is no wonder that hotel-keepers 1ail when such cunornious sums have to_be provided for. Ong of the most experienced hotel wanagers tells me that the decline in the cost of running a rood hotel has not been more than from 15 to- 20 per centum in the past ihree years. The chicf item on the list of provisions—beef— keeps up very near the oldfigure, and no mat- ter how close the imanagement mav be it is found that the running expenses foot up S0 per centum of what they were in flush times. Hetp is ahout 25 ver centum Jees, but this ls partly offsct by the fmportant ftem' of wear and tear of furniture. cte., which is the same in bud times as in rood, and Which averages about 15 per centum all along. Scveral New York hotels have reduced rates from 25 to 30 per centum, and now give room and board at $2.50 to $3, per day. A _CURIOUS EPITAPN. To the Editor of the Alton (IIL.) Telegraph.

The Zndicator has information that the prchase of 75,000 shares of ‘Atlantic & Pacific stock at 25 some weeks ago by the Directors of the Wostern Tmion was paid for by selbng 12,500 sharcs of Western Union and by borrowing $900.000 in cash. This loan, negotiated at § ver cent, will be repald by selling 12,000 more of the ehares of Western Union in the treasury of the Company, and the present prices are o attractive that it is proposed to vell out the entire block of 57,000 shares in the treasury.

The trading in wheat and provisions in this warket Is nnusnally **thin " for this time of the year. There is no doabt about it. The reason is Ppussibly to be found in the fact that New York, St.'Louis, and other smalier points now have theis regular epeculative trading at home. and this ab- sorbs u great many orders, ail of which would oth- erwise come to Chicago. ey eay that most of the No. 2 wheat mow o store in this city is apparently in the hands of re- ceivers, who are bolding 1t for bigher prices nearer the close of the month. Meanwhile the shipping movement is slow, but there is a fair demand for wheat to be shipped early in November at about 3¢ premium oser the price for the whole month. The leading produce murkets were rather slow Saturday, except in corn and svot wheat, and they were generally steadier. Provisions were tame and hows easicr. Corn and oats were in goad de- mand for shipment, barley firmer, and wheat was wanted by the Ociober shorts. ‘The shipping in- quiry for oats was believed to be on_acconnt of 3 vessel owner, who preferred to load for himself ratber than accent the ruling rate for a corn cargo. Dry goods were quoted quiet, With prices stesdy, Srm, and unchanced, Buyers were notvery nu- merous, but the mails brought & fair number of orders, and, all things considered, the volume of saléswas fairly satisactory.
