\{ \ 6 THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. JANUARY 19, 1878—SIXTEEN FAGES. FINANCE AND TRADE. Gold Government Bonds Quieter and Foreign Exchange. Lighter Movement of Currency to the Country—The Stock Market. The Prodmce Markets Irregular-- ‘Wheat Pirmer, Barley Wenk--- Other Grain Steady. Provisions Active and Buoyant--The Biggest Week’s Work in Bogs and Hog Product Yet Recorded. FINANCIAL. The Government-bond market was quieter. Transactions bave been checked by the advance in the price of the 4 per cents, which, s before quoted, are selling at par forlarge lots and 100%@100% for small amounts. The 65 of 1851 yemain at 106}4. The 520s of 1867 aud 1868 showed mno change in price, but the 10-40s de- clined 3¢, t01063¢. The new 5s advanced ¢, to 106%. The Sceretary of the Treasury has in- formed the depository baoks that when they wish to redeposit 4 per cent bonds as collateral for other bonds taken out, they must ¢o sowith 8 margin of 5 per cent; and also that when they deposit currency or gold for the same purpose, they must add a margin of 5 per cent to the smount. A leading firm of New York dealers in Government bonds make the following Jist of Governments, ranged in the order of tueir de- sirability as investments at present prices: First—Fives of 1881, * necond—Sixes of 1851, ~Second and thirdseries, Third—Four-and-2-half per cent bonds. Fourth—Four per cent bonds. Fifth—Five-twenties of 1868, Sixth—Ten-forties. ‘The demand for zold has become almost nomi- nel. 7The price remains at 100}, in greenbacks. Business in the foreign exchanze market was lizht. Although the stocks held abroad are un- usually low, buying is not yet active. Sterling grain and commercial bills are 482}¢ in cur- rency. Actualtrausactfons in sterling bankers’ bills were at 4643¢ and 468, with no chauge in sctual rates. French grain and commercial bills were 522 in gold. Consols did not show that there was any real glarm felt in London about the bank difliculties mentioned in the morning’s dispatches. Tne price remained all day 86951516, There would certatnly kave been & weskening in consols if any serious bank troubles were known in Lon- don. The Pariscorrespondent of the New York Dai'y Commercial Bulletin writes that there the dominant feeling in commercial circles at pres- cot is a certeiu anxiety about business pros- piects across the Channel. Theecrisis in England is judzed to have many indications of being long and severe, and its cffects on French trade must Ve felt coon in a very sensible wav. The yate of discount is still very low there (from 2 to 3 per cent), hut this is only another evidence that there is but little employment for money. The coal and iron industries are complaining. Lighter country orders for curreucy, heavier receipts of currency, and more liberal country arders for New York cxchange were, with a ‘moderate discount business, the features of local finances. Rates ot discount are 6@7 per cent for call loans, and 8@10 per cent for time loans. ‘The bauks report s satisfactory miscellaneous ‘patronage, and a heavy demand from the Board of Trade.

Osborne was buying Northwest. This stock was Josning at a premium. Flower was buying Rock Island. Osgood was buying North- west preferred. D. P. Morgan, too, joived in the general penchant for buying Northwest, and Work, Stronz & Co. tried their baud at the same game. The only variation in this scene of scrambling for Northwest was that there was “ some bear talk.” Alton, with its usual con- trariness, refused to share in the buoyancy, and was offered at 83, The bitherto diligent ** Ger- mans* were conspicuons by their absence in Saturday’s market. The Gracger stocks absorbed the chief ener- gies of stock operators all dav.

There are about 440 derks on *Change, most of them there every day except Sundays. The proposition to exclude them, if adovted, would materialiy thin the Gaily attendance, unless the clerks should obtaic memberships, which many of them would uncoubtedly do. 1t is understood that a committee has been (or is to be) appoiated to consider the matter of retiring memberships of the Board of Trade. It is felt by very mauy tbat the present mode of transfer is highly objectionable, and they hope to see some plan adopted whereby the objections may be obviated. The leading produce markets were active on " stronger. rY—_— Saturday and irregular. Provisions were ex- cited and much stronger, the chief excitement being in pork. Wheat was stronger. corn, oats, and rye steady, and barley weak, while winter flours were gencrally held more firmly. The trading was chicfly for future delivery, the ship- ping movement being still impeded by a searcity of freight-room. The market for dry goods was devoid of new features. Quiet still prevails in aoll depart- ments, and prices maintain the steadiness here- toiore characterizing them. Groceries met with a liberal general demand and were firmly held. Coffees showed = slight upward tenden- cr, and sugars, rice, spices, and teas were also held with confldence. In the dried-fruit market there was more doing than is usual to the sca- son, both domestic and foreizn vurieties being freely dealt in. Prices were again quoted firm throughout the list. Canned goods are active and firm, with peaches (which are very scarce) and some other lines tending upward. Fish were dull and nomival. Oils were without change in price. The leather, bagging, and to- bacco markets were without new features. Coal was fairly active and firm. The lumper market was steady, and the sales liberal for midwinter. The shipments include lumber that was contracted for during the fall, and is now being delivered. All the reports from the pincries indicate that large aquantities of logs hiave been banked, aod that the men are busy getting out many more. ‘The winter bas been very favorable forlorzing on the southern peninsula of Michizan, and good work has been Jone in the northern part of the State, and in Wisconsin, thouzh not under such excelient circumstances, the supply of snow there having peen jusuflivient. The sales ot wood, broom- corn, and hops “were small.’ Seeds iere - firm and quict. Ilay sold readily at recent prices. The receipts of potatoes. were larger, and the market not so strong, the retail trade having suddenly fallen off, and buyers seemed to be waiting for a lower rauge of pric}s.

PROVISIONS. NG PRODUCTS—Were much more active than the preceding averaze of the week, and again e feeling in pork was guite buoyant, and other product followed upward, though lard was ot times neglected. ‘The receipts of hogs were large for Saturday, and the total for the week was tle biguest on record, being 253,933 live, and 20,168 dressed; total, 304,301; ts being really Tor the week ending with Friday. 1 lcre was no ’| particular change in the Liverpool quotations, but New York was influenced slizhtly upward by the sharp advance here.

They know well enouh that there will comea time when they caunot ouy hogs at these orices, and, notwithstandiver the large stocks of product on hand, they are wilinz to take on more, feeling secure in their property. The recent advance bas not surprised any oue—in fact nearly everyoody has been expecting it for some time, and inasmuch as the market during the week nas haracned under the largest receipts of hogs ever known, it looks as thourh the firmuess exhibited had a pretty solid foundation. Tae chronic bears, of cot cannot believe in it, bot ordera are cominz in from the back districts to buy, and it is true that a large number of pevple. resulent and von-resident, seemunxionstu possess some hog duct. Foreizn buyers report comparatively t orders, but at the same time a very large amount of stuff 13 bewsg exported, and the vrders that nave come in recently have amounted to nothing, for the reszon taat the senders wanted the stufl Jei0w its market value.

The ereater strength seemed to be chieily in sympathy with pori, which was ** booming " at one time, and led many to think that there was going to be a reaction from low prices all around the floor, There was a fair demand, ana holders were less anxious to sell, so that the volume of trading was not so larze as on some previous dugs when buyers were less urgent. “Che iniquiry for car lots was_steady, the No. 2 be- ing taken to carry against contracts, and the lower grades by shippers. 1vo.2 closed ut 82%c,and No.3 at Gsc in Central 10 69¢ in preferred houscs.

An extremely singular affair traospired in this city last week, the actors in which are highly respectable citizens residing at present on Teuth street. Some twenty years ago there came to & far-off Eastern city a young man, whose pleasing address and epgaging babits soon wou the hand and heart of one of the reigning belles of the Orient metropolis. There were lights, musie, joy, priestiy words, —a wedding; the former maiden being now known as Mrs. Little. A few slhort years and there appeared a shadow, at first the size of 8 man’s band; after- ward a shutting out of the joy and the sun- shine; then chaotic darkness. The fatal eclipse js death! Years of mourning followed, sancti- fled by the tears of grief. Time came, and over the urn of the mourned sprang the perennial flower of hope. A second suitor, named Joha Sawyer, ap- peared, and the star so long buried in the shad- ows rose again in the ascendant. Vows were pledged, and the confiding widow became anain 2 wife. A child was born, and for a brief period life partook of the sweetness of Heaven, ‘The shadows again fell. Before, the sorrow was tender,—itwas dead. Now, it was hideous, —it was living. . From bad to worse, the hosband became cruel. His blood was inflamed by drink. Long years of patient, horrible suffering followed,— then a civorce. The Far West was sought as a welcome refuge. Aiter some yearsa third husband sued for the hand of the sad but still blooming woman, and life was again roseate. They were married, Mrs. Sawyer becoming Mrs. E. M. Raymond, and for n namber of years titey have been residing in this city. The intant of former years had become a graceful, bricht-eyed naiden. A few days since there came to the door of the happy bome on Tenth street a man who looked the boon companion of Trouble. He was subdued, respectable, and periaa turely old. The call was auswered by a motherly-faced matron, who beheld in the visitor the iather of her child and ber former busband. The situa- tion is not easily described. cre are sowe pictures in life from which the veil should not be lifted—some leart-ikroes, the exposure of which would be desceration, He nad repcated of his folly, and reformed; had embarked in busiuess, and was now rich. . He piteously pleaded for an opportunity to see his_child, He was rich in this world’s goods, aud would endow her bountifullyv. The request was granted. [t iwas a mecting of sprine and wiuter, Strange spectacle. The shock was fatal. Sprineg conquered. The husband came home ané was told the story, aod, being a sensible mau, understood. Thus was avoided n seene. The former husband was prostrated with a fatal illne: Charity conquered, and be was tenderly cared for. 3:0un Thursday he died, surro1nded by feiends, and ere the Licht was shut out irom the dead on Friday, the upturned facc was wet with the dew of genuine pity. WOMEN’S HATS AT THE THEEATRE. Peck's Sun. There was a time—and it was 2 blessed time— when a woman’s hat or bonnet would not block up the road to the plazform, shutting from view the actor, reader, or speaker; but it does now. Go to a concert and take a seat behind a woman who has one of those mountain cedar-hats, with brauches reacliing high in the air and far out on cither side, with peacock mnd ostrich feathers added, and if you are at ease, offer yourself next day for a valuable monstrosity. We saw an ordinarily zood-natured man in ¢hat kindof a boat the other evening. “The mountain-cedar top-gear swayed from side to side with disgust- ina frequency. The poor fellow tirst lopped his head over on his off sboulder ana tried to get sight of the handsome creature ou the staze by looking between the bent down brim of the hat and its wearer’s painted and stecl-bound check. That faited. He hitched alonz aod tried the other shoulder with no beiter result. Then he jumped upon his.seat and looked over the bat. That part of the audience behind nim shout- ed ‘“Sit down,” and he sat. For a mo- ment or two he grated Dis teeth, aod muttered loud and deep curses against a custom that made a female audience look like a front yard filled with evergreens. Then the poor man’s eyes flashed, his strong right arm raised towards the heavens, his brawny hand opened aud shut like a chub’s moatiy, and then it shot, like a hungry hawk, upon the mountain-cedar hat, and the next mo- wment it was shooting over the audience like a hay-stack in a toruade. The woman screamed like onc about to be murdered, and no wonder, for the wreteh bad gathered up her wig, false curls and all, leaving as slick a female bald tead as the world ever saw. That woman was not satislied with one scream, but let fly a dozen or more, stopping the play, causing the great audience to turn pale and jump to its feet and call for the police. 'Phe terrible man was pointed out and the officers dragged him from the hall to tie street, where he was rescued by men in the audience who had learned the cause of the disturbance. They conveyed him back to tle hall on toeir shoutders, and announced that the man who had had the couraze to clear a road throuszh the forest of feathers, oats, wheat, ribbons, and other nousense, so 1t Wwas possible to sec the stage, was a benelactor, ana should remain, no matter if every bald-beaded woman in the hail demanded his removal. This is a romance with justice for a foundation. A MEAN ADVANTAGE. g Puladelphiu Record. ‘There were a score or more of women gath- ered:iogetier at Mr. Joimson’s house. Mr, Jolirison is 4 good-hearted man and a respected citizen, though he is rather skeptical in some things. "The women had just organized * The Foreign Benevolent Society ? wien r.

Grabam, with great dignity, *the rules of this Society declare that no money shall be contributed except by members, aud, as you are not a member, I beg that you will withdraw and let us proceed with the routine business. PRACTICAL WOMAN’S RIGHTS. Sringfleld ¢ Yass.) Republican. In Bridgewater, Vt., resides a woman who has for years put in practical applicaticn the doe- trine of “womgn's rights,” as least so much of it as asserts a womaun's right to get a liviog in any way she shall chose, and tu wear the dress most suitable to her work. We commend her etory to the Woman’s Journal. Mrs. Minor owns three farms, two of which she has purchased from the profits of the tirst one, and which she carries on precisely as her husband did in his lifetime, when he was the head and she assisted bim in the work. She has two or three hired men, but she takes entire charge of the work, buying and sclling cattle, marketing produce, driving cattle to market, and directing opera- tions generally. She also does her share of the heavy work, frequently plowine all day in the sprivg, ridiog o mowing- machine in summer, pitching on hay, and even oceasianally shearing sheep with the hauds. All this she does as well asaman, and to accom- plish it she wears a ‘“bloomer * costume, con- sisting usually of a loose jacket reachwg just above tne knces, a pair of pantaloons of the same material, cut like a man's, except that there is 2 “spring’’ at the bottom, and a pair of men’s boots, the legs of which are concealed by the pantaloons. Her summer working-suits are usually made of calico. and she wears a costume of this pattern everywhere, *‘to mill and to meetin’.” When very young she mar- ried, and her husband dicd, leaving her three daughters. _She then adopted the ‘‘bloomer costume, and became a practicing cold-water doctor.” In her practice she met Mr. Minor gshurt iand accent on the last syllable), a French arm-hand, who could neither read nor write, and marriea bhim. His employer sold them the farm on trust, which they worked and paid or,and from which they made enouch 1o pur- chase two adjoining farms. One child was born to them, a daughter. Herown children hecame very fond of Minor, and taught him to read and write. Beforc his death, which occurred about two years azo, he_became a zood man of busi- ness, and he and_his wife were bighly esteemed as good neizhbors and citizens. All her daugh- ters are well educated and good musiclans, two of them well married, one to a teacher whom she assists in her profession, and a third is soon to marry a New Yourk gentleman. Aside from her cosfume, the only peculiarity the mother has ever exhibited was _in_ dressing her daugh- ters like boys, and working them as such until they were old enough to rebel. Sbeis a womun of good cducation and judement, and is con- sulted by farmers on matters of business, as well as called on for neighborly kindnesses in cases of sickness. She is now ‘about 52 years old, and is worth about $25,000, but works as hard as ever. L DISASTROUS “IF.” Cineinnatt Times. John Henry used to ge to see a girl down on Seventh street, but he doesn’t do so any more since the hired girl gave him away. He tells his own story: “You see she was a very nice girl, and I liked her more intensely than a life- insurance agent talks up his business; and I called around that fatal evening to see herbut a minute oo 2 little matter we bad been talking about; and, when the wooden-headed girl came in the door, ! asked for Miss Blaok, and the airl said *she did not tnink she was ready to re- ceive company, but would I watt? I told her ‘I wanted to sce ber just a minure, and she needn’t dress unless she was uadressed.” Away the girl went, aod I prescutly beard her singing out, *Miss Blank, Mr. John Henry is in the parlor and wants to see you a minute, and he says you need oot dress if you are undressed.” ‘That *if? fixed me, and word wus sent down that Miss Blank was not at home to Mr. John Henry, and Mr. Jobn Henry has not been back since.” WHAT IS REALLY DONE. Norristouwn Herald. Mande Bransconbe, the beautiful actress, oc- casionally drops into poetry, and she relates in tender lines how “I dreamed again, last night ~O golden vision—That we had made our home among the flowers, And there we read romances olden, Our hands together clasped the livelong hours.” A very nice dream, that: but the reality, Maude, is widely different. When a woman becomes a wife, she and her husband don’t * Come into the garden, Maud—" a gar- den of flowers—and read old romances, with hands'clasped the livelong hours. Not mucih. The man skirmishes down to the office imme- diately after breakfast, to earn market-moue! and the woman, if she can afford a servant, sits in the parlor reading trash stories. They are more interesting than romances olden, FEMININE NOTES. It takes a fellow whno has been kiclked off the front stoop by the irate parent of his girl to tell the story ot the Missile toe. The adoration of golden calves has gone out of fashrion, and the averaze calf-worshiper now raves about those encased 1n pink silk. Tt is a great shock to a man’s nervous system to have a suspender-button fly off just as he is making a profound bow to a lady on the street. A young-lady suaid to her lover: *Charley, how far is it round the world?” “ About twenty-four inches, my darling,” replied he, as his arm encircled her waist.
