In tho meantimo it ia clear that Mr, Man. DL, having consented to writo out an elab- orato statemont whero ' a brief denial would havo served tho same purpose, should have taken cognizanco of somoe of the susplcious clrcumstonces, already made publie, which tond to confirm the 7 ribunc's chargo that ho waa tho author of somo of tho most damuing dispatclics that havo been published. First, it is o curlous coincidence that the siguature to mony f theso dispatches, “Moges,”. s tho fint namo of Afr, Maspre, though he long since dropped it from use; in the next placy, itappeans from tho dispstches themsclves that answers to tho *‘Moses” dispatchos wero nddrossod to Manron MagoLe, and that “Moscs® ropliod to dispntches that wero sent to Mausre. This connectiug link was brouglit out by the in- terforenco of an indisercet friond, Mr, Bar- TONSTALL, Who wos one of TiLbeN's lawyers in Florida, This gentloman could not wait for Mr, Magsurs's denial in his own belalf, but rushed into print with the assertion that tha Z'ribune had merely *¢ guessod ” that Me, AMaunre was tho author of ceriaiudispatchos, ‘Phis naturally brought out u statement from the Z'ribune, from which we make the fole lowing extract : When ¢4 Moace® Ju Tallshassco addresses & 'te)- egrau to Gramercy Park requinug an kmwediato auswer, Lhe snswer {8 prowptly sent from N, York, sddreased to **Mantos Mausex, Yallabas- i conversely, when PeLvon caulivns Mn‘; rogsons: first, tho stock on hand and within roach ie lurgo ; and, sacond, tho finanecial dis- turbance, which has ndvanced the price of monoy and ourtailed tho loans.

Tho lnat clement of speculation has boen crowded out, and purchnses are conflned to ordinary wants, Though no aot- unl panlo exiats, there is uucortainty and approlionsion existing to a degreo that is al- most as fatal for tho timo to businoss as would be n panfe in fact, In tho Chicago market tho prices aro re. marknbly low,—lower thau thoy have been for uiany years at this timo of the yoar, Addod to this unusual circumstanca is the faoct that, of tho spring-whoat crop, fully onc-half that is recelved has to bo graded as No, 8, 8o with the corn and oats; at lonst one-fourth of those gralus rocolved are graded na ¢ po.
