a THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, AUGUST 25, 1880—SIXTEEN PAGES. FINANCE AND TRADE. Stocks Unusually Active, Closing Very Weak. Continued Receipts of Gold at New York—Foreign Ex- change. Chicago Sending Less Currency to the Country. The Produce Markets Less Active, and Generally Lower—Provisions Tame. Breadstuffs Depressed in Sympathy with Liverpool i —Novement During the Week. FINANCIAL. Stocks moved downward steadily from the start. There were in some cases gains of % and 34 on opening quotations, but for most of the list the first price was the highest. The close was at or very near the lowest of the day. The bank statement was much more favorable than had been ex! and the. decline cannot be at- tributed to any trouble about moncy. ‘The mar ‘ket is entirely in the hands of great overators, and they move it up or down to suit themselves. Wali strect is divided into two classes,—bulls who don’t want to buy any more, and bears who sre. afraid to sell. No remark is so fre- quently beard among conservative men aud investors as that stocks .are too high. Speculators are afraid to . risk anything at this lofty level of prices, and yet are deterred by the brilliant prosperity of the coun- try from selling short. Outsiders are completely baflled by this state of affairs, and are doing nothing. Only asevere break in prices would give the public confidence to buy. ‘The greatest loser was Lackawanna, which | thas been the great reliance of the bulls. The . movement of this stock the last two or three days has proved that, whether or not the story of its extension to Buffalo is a stock-jobbing scheme, it bas been used tose!l part of the im- mense block of stock accumulated by the pool. The opening quotation was 91}, there was an advance to 91%, and then steady falling away to 88, where it closed.

Repcrts of serious cutting of rates have been putin circulation to help the downward tend- ency of stocks. Itissaid that at the mecting of the Joint Executive Committee at Commissioner Fink's office it had been discovered that all the railroads, with the exception of the Pennsyl- vania, have been cutting rates to an alarming extent. Of course it is notorious that both the New York Central and Erie bave been allowing rebates, but it is conceded that the volume of present business, however unprofitable it may de, is more than the trunk lines can take care of. ‘The bears in Erie charge that it has sold nearly $3,000,000 of second consolidated bonds, the pro- ceeds of which have been used to pay current expenses, including rebates to large shippers. Erle second 6s opened at 8733, sold at 8734 and 85%, and closed at the last figure. Railroad bonds in New York on Thursday were active, but the murket was very irregular. In the early transactions there was a sharp de- cline in prices, which was partially recovered at the close. Animmense business was done in Erie consolidated secunds, the sales thereof aggregating. $2,032,000, These bonds declined from 8814 to 86%, recovered to 87}{, fell if to 86%, and rallied to & Cc. C.

BY TELEGRAPH. NEW YORK. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. New York, Aug. 23—The stock market opened quiet and steudy, and, as Erie showed a disposition to recover under the continued clos- ing up of short accounts, the entire list flouted to higher prices and became dull. The fluctua- tions were nut important up to noon, when the weekly bank statement appeared, showing a loss of 2675,000 for the week, which was less than had been expected: Contrary to the showing, how- ever, there was from that hour on to the close a steady supplying of stock, which carried prices down until at the close they were generally at the lowest of the week. There was especially free selling of the stocks with which Gould is supposed to. be identified, Western Union fall- ing to 103, Wabash losing nearly 2 percent, Kan- sus & Texas nearly as much, and Luke Shore percent. Opposed to the general tone was the strength of the Hannibals, the common and pre- tert both maintaining themselves under buying by some of the bestand strongest houses, who have information that the Burlington pe ple have arranged to give the Hannibal suck a Proportion of its business as insures that prop- erty acertainty of dividends on both classes of stock. a3 2 ‘Montauk coal. rose further, to %5,a gain of 30 per cent since Tuk TRIBUNE. directed attention loita week amy hich ought to satisfy all uv- erage speculators. tock island and Omaba preferred are dull but very strong, and are most likely to be advanced if the steadies next week, As caution was advised yesterday against buying, the ad- vice. is given to-day not to sell.

Corn was énsier, but did not go much below the minimum prices of Friday. Other grain was eusier, in sympathy. Provisions were lower, put ruled firm xt the decline afterwards, and part of it was recovered.

Buyers are. beginning to arrive in considerable riumbers, and an early opening of the fall trade ig assured. Prices are fairly steady. Jobbers of groceries were pretty busy. City and country buyers were ordering freely of staple and side goods, and the market hada firm and bealtby tone. Boots and shoes were in small demand. Millinery and straw goods were fairly active. There was a liberal movement in butter and cheese at sustained prices. Dried fruits met with only a restricted inquiry, and prices fa- vored the buyer. The bagging market was more quiet and eusier. Sturk A was quoted at 2c and American at 20c. Oils were active and tirm. -iron and coul were quoted as before. “At the lumber-yards trade continues active at the lately advanced prices. The cargo offerings were small. Seeds were steady, timothy closing stronger under an active demand. Hay was in fair request at former prices. The receipts wero moderate, and local buyers were tuk- ing hold. Sbippers ero also beginning to buy for the Eastern markets. Poultry was steady, and not very plenty, the receipts having becu small for a few days past. Green fruits were fairly active at lower prices. ‘The offerings were heavy, and the market was glutted with peaches, which receivers were try- ing bard tosell, as but little of the fruit was hurd enough to hold over. Lake freights were active and steady at 50 for wheat and 4c for corn to Buffalo, and 8'%c for corn to Kingston. About thirteen vessels were taken for 230,000 bu wheat and 685,000 bu corn. We referred in Saturday's TRIBUNE toa cuse devided by the Arbitration Committee of the Bourd of Trade. It is only fair to both parties to say that it was an agreed case. Both parties were anxious to know how the sense of tho Board stands on the matter. The firm to which tthe wheat was tendered was abundantly able to check for the amount required, and simply abstained from doing so in order to test the mutter for the bencfit of the trade. A genueman who has just returned from a tour through Bureat, Marshall, La Salle, and Putnam Counties, in this State, reports that the prospects of the corn crop are magniticent in each of these counties. Parties who have traveled out West report that wheat thrashing is progressing with un- usual slowness in many sections. It is said by some that the wheat is being held back now us a result of the experience of lust year. The farm- ers who held olf till October, 1879, realized a good deal more money than did those who sold in August and September, and they do not forget jt, especially as prices are now low. se PROVISIONS.

According to the statement of Mr. Erskine, chief officer of the steamer St. Paul, there is little hope that either the missing whalers or the Jeannette will ever return. ‘The St. Paul is the property of the Alaska Commercial Com- puny, and arrived iu port on Saturday, bringing acargo of senl-skins from Ounalaska. The St. Paul ieft St. Michacls on July 8. When a Cli icle reporter visited the St. Paul, Mr. Erskine and a group.of mariners, who professed to have consideratile experience in the Arctic, were dis- cussing the chances of the Jeannette’s coming back. “don't think,” said Mr. Erskine, she will ever again be heard of."" in aged muriner said he had hopes of secing the Jeannette aguin. “ If yau saw the ice we did,” said Mr. Erskine, “you would huve a different opinion, I never iw anything like it,—ice as hish as the fore- yard.” «The ice,” said the aged mariner, “must have been piled up where you saw it; but no matter bow high ‘twas, I expect to sve the Jeunnette again. Lhave no hope of the whulers; they'd wo out as far as they could from the ice. but the dedane te would yot in from it as fur as she es,” said Mr. Erskine, “but she’d have a mighty poor show in that ice. Spe was very low in the water when she was going out, and she was only an old tub, anyway.” ‘This opinion was shared by the whole meet- Ing, and when Mr. Erskine said, “I believe as every one I've talked to at St. Michaels believes, that the Jeannette is gone,” the majority voted with him. Sl Feeing the Waiter. A Parisian journal, La Presse, protests against the pourbvire system. It suys: “ Had pour- boires been known in the tine of the Pharaohs they would certuinly have beon reckoned umonz the plaguesof Egypt. it is nownduys impos- sibie to go anywhere, to take the slightest re- freshment, liquid or solid, without being obliged to ‘tip’ the gurgon, who, in reality, does not protit one whit by ourgenerosity. In most cafés and restaureuts these pourbvires form an additional source of revenue tor the proprietor, who not only dovs not pay his waiters, but: even levies binck-miuil on the gratuities they receive. his ig not al, however. In n weil-known café, not a hundred miles from the Place: de l'Opéra, the owner, finding that his argon made too much by their ‘tips,’ resolved on sharing them with the latter. His plan is said to be follows: Every morning the gurgons severally purchase a cer- tain number of jetons at ferent prices, and with them pay beforehand for the refreshments ordered by the customers. The ingenious patron. in question has hit, we hear, ou the iden ef mak- iug his waiters pay bim with the jetons; or counters, at the rate of 55 centimes for every 50 centimes’ worth orderod by the customer. In this way, if the latter refrains from giving more than the traditional two sous, the gurcon gets only one sou for himself, and if no pourboire is bestowed he has w give bis master one sou out his own pocket. If this plan is generally adopt- ed by restnurant-keepers, it is very easy to un- derstind why the gargons ocexsionally make mistakes in the customers’ change.” a The Tragic Tale of 2 Trunk. New Orleans Times. At a store on Buronne street Is a lady's sole- leather Saratoga trunk of the largest size, which, although enti: inoffensive in itself is, nev theless, by associations, not without x history. The trunk was made upon the order of a very handsome young woman, who culled ut the store and save specitic directions us to its interior ar- Tungements. She appeared to be in allluent cir- cumstances, and did not object to the price charged, which ‘was $100. The money was paid and the trunk sent home, its owner proving to beMiss Bessic Moore, a young demi-monduine, It appears thet she found thet the trunk was not. entirely to her satisfaction, aud sold it buck to the store at a liberal discount, She subsequent- ly left the city for Jefferson, Tex., in company with a miscreant named Abe Rothschild from Cincinnati. He used up ber money, and, with placid deviltry, pat a pistol to her forehead and blew out ber brains. Singularly enough, the gentleman who identified the body subsequently committed suicide. Abe Rothschild way arrest- ed in Cincinnati when in the act of attempting to commit suicide, and was sent back to Jefferson, Tex., for trial, where he now lies iu jail. The trunk was sold toa gentleman who bad it thor- oughly. repuired. Before this gentleman had paid for the trunk, he also committed suicide. a ie Irisn Wolves and WolfDogs. mong many other Irish grievances which have at timescalled for Parliamentary interference there is one which no longer exists.

A Newcastle (Eng.)fexchange says: There is now lying on the beach ut Tynemouth, near tha Aquarium, a tiny vessel. whose adventurous owner proposes to undertake in ber 1 voyage round the world. He has already made a start, for he suiled from Christiansand, Norway, about the beginning of July, and arrived in the port of Aberdeen after u successful voyage across of six duys. He bus since coasted up the ‘Tyne, calling at Various ports, and will shortly proceed south- ward ina like manner, and, on reaching the west coast, sail across the Atlantic to America. He will either const around, or carry bis boat neross, the American Continent to the Pacific, and will subsequently set sail for the far East aud the Ant-pudes, returning to Europe by the Tudtan Ocean, Red Sea, Suez Canal, and Medit- Ferrancan. The boat is a Norwegian yawl, decked, 18% feet in the kecl, 25 feet over all, and clinker built. Her owner sailed in her alone from Norway, and fougd her a zood sea boat. His name is Johu Beauthont. He is a native of Seaham Harbor, but has lived in the South of Ireland for the last twenty years. He was formerly a sailor, but had not been to sea for many years until ho left Christiansand with his tiny yacht. A TORONTO SCHOONER MISSING. A painful rumor was current along the docks yesterday regarding the loss of the schooner Echo, now two days overdue from Sodus. . She suiled from that port on Sunday night, in com- pany with the 3.G. Ryan, but the latter lost sight of her during the night, and she has not since been heard from or reported ut uny of the ports. Dispatches hive been sent to several places that it was ut all likely she would run to for shelter, but so far without avail, and unless she managed tomuke a south shore port grave fenrs ure entertained for her safety. She was a smuil vessel of about 100 tons, and was bringing coal for Messrs. Keith, of this port. Vessels that have loaded and left since she did bave arrived allright, and, with the wind behind her, it is time she made an appearance. Her owner is Mr. Moffat, of Berkeley street, and she was suiied by Capt. John McLennan, a well-known and able seaman. Robert Moffat, a son of the owner, wus also on bonrd, and with a man re- cently'sbipped, but whose name is not known, formed the crew. If she bus succeeded in reach- ing any hurbor of refuge, a_telegram to that effect would ease the minds of those who have friends on board.—Torento Mail. THE LOSS OF THE TOW BARGE, SAGINAW. Yesterday evening a telegram was received by J. M. Jones from Cupt. Henry Daggett, master and owner of the tug Alanson Sumner, at Ash- tubula, saying that during the storm’ on Lake Erie the barge Sagioaw, of his tow, broke away near Port Stanley Wednesday night, and to notify the owners. On arrival of the schooner A.J. Dewey about noon, Capt. William Vincent informed a reporter of the Free Press that Thursday at 8 o'clock p. m. he saw a bright light as of a burning bout, and be immediately steered for her. Whea about fiftecu miles south by est from Round Eau he came near a barge wuter- logged and her deck-lozd of lumber was burn- ing. He stood in till about eighty fect from the barge to nscertain if any of the crew were on bourd. Seeing nu one he came on to Detroit. He had heard that the H. M. Scove bud picked up a wrecked crew and that she was in tow of the tug Stranger. On the arrival of theStranger the fucts were related by the crew sub- stantially as given above, but without any allusion to thé fire, which may have caught from a smoldering. torch after. the crew had left. The Saginaw was a lumber tow barge of 310 tons, about 450,000 capacity, built in 1868 nt Cass River. She was owned in Detroit by Messrs. Hudson & Brown. |The crew of the Saginaw consfsted of Cupt. J.

She bas msde tive trips this season with grain between Chie:t- go and Buffalo, and on each occusion, we under- atand, bas delivered her grain in tirst-class con- dition, not a bushel turning out wet in the whole five curgoes. She was built in April, 184, by Mr. Lufrincer, of Cleveland. for the Western Transportation Company, and for many years wus a favorit boat in’ their line between Buffalo ‘and Chicugo. She was extensively re- puired in 184, and even now isin mueh better condition than many crafts which have not seen hulf tho service she bas. Her present owner and master, Capt.
