Had_1 known, while mgking this conversation, that T should ever be called upon to write it out, I am condaent that I should have tatked I: for 1 eoon found I could make no progress until her lawyers were paid, and 1 bad not & cent with which tu pay them, or even 10 pay my own.

He Lad known him, be said, when he first commenced the practice of law in Cook County, and had after that time been associsted with him as o parier. While young in the law Mr. Judd evinced an abihity of estraordinary character. He possessed u dis- cerning, evenly-balanced mind, that marked him as one amonz & thousund. e possessed no peculiarities—no special traits_of character upon which he relied to make him what he was. His faculties were all highly and eveuly develosed. His sterling oualities of wind and heart were recomnized by his feilow- citizens, who never failed to bestow upon him some oftice, and Mr. Judd invariably performed the dutics of that oflice to the eutire satisfaction of his constituents, even while actively engaged in his profession. ~Almost continually from_the time of ihe commencement of his practice till his entry into prominecot politicar life he had held oflice, Mr. Jndd was not' dead. T bad simply departed this life. leaving behind him a orilliant and hon- orable record in shich be lived and would live for posterity. Of Mr. Judd's personz]_characteristics and his many good qualities of hearl, Judge Wilson spoke feelingly. MR, BURTON C. COOK said that he was, with Mr. Judd, oneof Cook County's early-day lawyers. 1le liad known the decensed 1ntimately, - and the friendly relations which they hod long established were unbroken at the timo of Mr. Judd's demise. He had been a- sociated with Mr. Judd for cipht years in the Sen- ate, and had there seen evidence of the great pow- ers'ol mind possessed by bis friend. o no othor man belonged as much credit for the rapid and sys- tematic growth of Chicazo. To his clear-sighted- 1ess a8 0 statesmian_ and his unswerving tidehty to the people whom he represented was Chicazo in. debted for her prosnerity. and to his spirit of prozress the whole Siaté was indebted for the foundation of the great network of_railroads for which Ulinois was noted.

CORRESPONDENCE. COL. WALTON DWIGRT, To the Editor af The Tribune. CHicAGO, Nov, 23.—The friends and acquaint- ances of Col. Walton Dwight, deceased, recently a resident of this city, have been greatly annoyed by the circulation of rumors through the public press that he bad, previous to his death, formed and executed a gigantic scheme to defrand the life- insurance companies. To those who knew him well these stories need no contradiction, as his character, established by long years of business in- tercourse with thousands of people, was too frank and open to admit the possibility of any scheme requiring great secretiveness. He was communi- cative to a feult. 1is fricods und cven his ac- quaintances were freely informed in regard to his present business and future intentions, and to them many of the statements made in rezard to his insurance are too absurd to be cntertainea for amoment. Forinslauce, il is well known that previous 1o the Joss of his fortuno his life was in- sured for years for a very large amount in many of the same companies now crying fraud, an amount mearly, if not quite, equal to the amount carried at bis_death, The Equitable and others had no greater risk upon bis life at his_death than they had four years be- fore it took place. Hehad a wide reputation 28 & liberul patron of life insurance for many years. 1is misfortunes made it impracticable to keep up his premiums, but he frequently stated to the writer his intention to restore his policies as soon as his inancial condition would permit. A few months before his death he was fortunate in sev- eral speculations, by which hejmade a considerable sum, and was ataboat the same time offered a coznection with certamn large mininy fnterest in.a distant State, by which be had enthusiastic hope of restoriny his failen fortunes. lehad rented a house in this city and made extensive arrangements to leave his family here in tlie care of a relative dur- ing his absence. The writer having_occasion to rent a housc until the lst of May, 1879, called upon him a ehort -time hefore he went East for the purpose of enb-letting a por- tion of the same house. Ilis reply was taat he could not let it, a5 he had mude preparations to uve his wife and child with a near relation occupy itduring hig absence. Again it is declared he brouzht on bemorrbage of the lungs by voluntary exposure. when it {8 well known by his friends und tee physicians who attended bim ‘that he aied of gastric fever, a afgease that was not affected by a hunting excarsion, which hss been so avsardly misrepresented that 8 casual renaer having known Col. Lwight would know that it could not nossibly be true. This is out a brief and partial statement of tue facts known to the writer, and intended merely to check the shameful vampires wao would pursue with falsehood and defamation the memory of a man they would hardly dared to have ap- proached while living.

Perhaps Mies Cary has scen some old folks down in Maine, who cannot get about a great deal, nor have much going on at home, and knows how they like to huve a little notice taken of them, and cun think how kind we took it for ber to put on her nice white gown, and ride Lwo miles for our sakea, They say” her singing beat everything that ever Wwas, 100, and 1 suppose it sounded better than Sarah Ann Bartlett's, in the mectinog-honze down where I used to live. Aud then folks tell me she was so pleasant about it all and didn’t act noways put out for having to ride eo far. And they say that all the rest of the singers were as chipper and friendly as could be, and “that the pretty ‘young mun Who sung in some foreign lonzue “came right out again “and did it all over Whenbe gaw how the people liked it. And webave been eaying how good it was of Mr, Strakosch, the mun that keeps the opera, to let them all® 20 and 8ing for us old ladies, and we hape if he or any of he restof them ever et old that somebody will take care of tnem, and make them as comfortable s we are goings to be next winter with _the money which they made forus.

The Produce Markets Generally Quiet— Hogs Steadier—Provisions Easy. Wheat and Oats Lower~Corn Heavy---Hovement of Produce During the Week, FINANCIAL. Gold was firm, ana sold in New York at 100%, and in Chicago at 100%. The question raised by Tie TRIBUNE about the redemption of legal ten- ders after Jan. 1 at other points than New York is exciting attention throughout the country. The, Daltimore Clearing-Touse has appointed commit- tees to visiz both Secretary Sherman ana the New York bauks. The Baltimore baukers and importers cannot see that resumption ut Baltimore amounts to much if gold 18 exchanged by the Government for greenbacks at New York only. Government bonds were in good request. Prices were unchanged, except an advance of % in the 4%s. "An tncrease of grain bills was noted in the for- eign-exchange market. There wasa fair supply of provision bills, Rates were steady at 482} and 487 for sterling, with actunl transactions at 481% @481% and 480, Sixty-day grain bills sterling were 47034, and French bills were 523, both cur- rency.

Silver is rising in price. The London quotation yesterday was 503; pence per ounce, a gain of ;. The London suppiy 1s light. The amount on hand in Sen Francisco is said by the Bulletin to be smaller than for two years. The exports to China have started up again, ‘The shipment by the Hong Kong steawer last week was $1,168,462, the larzest In some time, and three times as much as the same steamer took on the corresponding date of last year. Consols opened at 96 3-16, and closed at 96 1-16. Last year ot this time they were selling at 963, The Bank of Englund yesterday lost $730,000. The managers, according to the London Times, are looking forward with something approaching apprehension toa probable drain of gold to New York. The Banks of Germany and France are both hestile to the Bank of England in the struggle forgold. The policy the Bank Directors will pur- sue 1n case of 8 heavy drain to New York will be, the Zimes says, ‘*toforce the vatue of money to a point which would compel payment to be made to the United States either in securities or such ¢om- wodities a8 a reduction In the price would induce them to take, ™ There has been a zood miscellaneous demand for bank accommodations, thoaeh not enough to ab- sorb all the loanable resources of the banks. In- stitutions patronized mainly by Board of Trade men and packers report their lines full. Rates of discount are firmer, but are still quoted at 6@10 per cent.

The stock market was stronger, and there wasa rise in the quotations of a majority of the active stocks, Alton recovered 1!4 of the loss of Fri- day, opening at 78% bid, where it remained all day. \Wabash was only % better than atthe close of Friday, andopencd and closed at 215, Hannibai & St. Joe opened'at 15 and closed at 15%. The claim of the management of this road that they are doing detter this year than lastis somewhat discredited by their neglect to furnish an exhibit of the monthly earnings and operating expenses, There are people who want to know whetber under the *‘extraordinary expense " ac- count there have been entered any items that proo- erly belong to ordinary expenses, and whether the proceeds from the sales of lands have been added to the net earnings. Missour, Kaneas & Texas stock and bonds are re- celving speculative attention In the stock market. The Missouri, Kansas & Texas cons. ass'd have gone up to 47%, and the secondsto 16. The pur- chases ure made partly in anticipation of the bene- fits to accrue to the Missouri, Eansas & Texas from the Sonthern Paciflc, and partly in expectation that the roads will soon secore a valuable land-grant. A land-grant of 3,000,000 to 4,000,000 acres in the Indian Territory was, it will be remembered, voted by Congress to the railroad whose line first entered the Territory. But the land-grant was conditioned upon the conseat of the Indians. When they agreed to relinquish the lanas in the Indian Territory, in consia- eration of other rescrvations, the land-grant was to become operative. There wasa keen race be- tween the Missourl, Kansas & Texas, the St. Lonis & San Francisco, and the Leavenworth, Lawrence & Galveston Roads to sccure the prize., The su- perior energy and speed of the Missourl, Kansas & Texas wou, and this immense tract of the finest grazipg and farmicg lands in the conntry will be theirs when the treaty is concluded with the In- dians, All this makes rather thin ice for specula- tive skaters. Ohio & Mississippi advanced from T to 7.

They say that the figures proposed are too large to be sustained while prices of produce con- tinue to rule 50 low as now. The railroad companics have consented to abol- ish the 2c charge for loading each 100 1bs meats into cars. but simultaneonsly add ic to the rate of transportation on all kinds of produce to the sca- board.

The Statistician of the New York Produce Ex- change now makes the visib!s supply of wheat Nov. 16 25327,000 bu more than his previons statement. This zives a total of 18,239, 000 bu. The leading produce markets were rather tame lower, and all three dragged. ators seemed undecided what to do. freighting business was transacted. In the dry-goods market there were no noticeable changes. Trade continues all that could be expect- edat thisstage of the seacon, and the market has a Lealthy tone. Groceries were freely ordered, and were steadily held asa rale. Sugars, however, were weak and unsettiea. and the tone of the coffee market was not particularly buoyant. In the bntter market there was much the ssme condition of affairs as for a2 number of days previous, Low and medium grades were much neglected, choice and fancy quotations alune meeting with any considerable demand. Chesse remained dull and unchanged. There was a fair movement in oils at former quotations. Dried fruits were quoted as before. Fish were quiet and steady. No changes were moted in leather, bag- ging, coal. and wood. At the lumber yards trade continues good, and prices are stronger on account of the falling off in receipts. The offerings in cargoes were small, and Manistee piece stuff sold higher, at $7.37%. A fow more cargoes are expected from the lake ports. The wool market was steady. with indica- tions of o better trade soon. Broom-corn was in fair demand at wunchanged figures. The demand for hay was better, and the market firmer, the offerings being inadequate. Hides were in fair request at recent prices. Potatoes were in good local demand, bat the fear of cold weather nas driven shippers out of the market, and prices are easy, though choice cars would probably bring recent figures. Game and poultry were plenty and slow, excent fine fresh chickens and turkeys. Lake freights were in zood demand and stronger. Lattle was done till nearthe close, when shippers acceded to the savanced views of carriers, paying 5c on corn, and 5%c¢ on wheat, to Buffalo. Room was taken for 20,000 ba wheat, 130,000 bu corn, and 10,000 bu oats.
