Catcaco, Deo. 11.—In the very able article in Yesterday's TRIBUNE On “ The Irish in America,” yousay: “ There is no mavufacturing in fre- land asin England, chiefly for the want of coal and iron to support them.” Lhaye been investigating the reason why we tri are so poor, both at home and in America. when wearrive bere, and have discovered, I think, the true cause of Ireland's poverty Wiliyou permit me to give my version?

Wall Street Stocks Again in De= mand at Advancing Prices. Chicago Ceases to Draw Cur- rency from New York. The Telegraph Stock Deal—No Bur- ’ lington & Quincy Stock Dividend. z The Produce Markets Moderately Act- iye—Hogs and Provisions Easier. A Decided Upturn in Wheat—Other Grain Stronger in Sympathy. FINANCIAL, No important stock except Western Union showed weakness. It declined from 8{to 81, closing with a recovery of only 4, at 81%. The stock of American Union, the rival company, began to be active for the first time since the Present deal in telegraph stocks commenced. Jvadvanced ona few transactions from 68 to 63%. This Company has a force of 1,000 men at work between Chicago and New York, and when the dozen wires they are putting up have reached this city, war will be beun in earnest. Those - who consider them- selves well-informed believe that Vander- Dilt has sold out a large part, if not all, of his stock, and has taken off his coat for a Qght, perfectly content that some one elso should owd'the shock meanwhile. The thcory of the street is that Western Union and Ameri- can Union will meet in price, and that moncy is to be made by settling the one short and buy- ing the other. Besides Western Union the only stocks that mudo conspicuous losses were Pacific Mail, which lost 1%, to 530%, and Houston & Texas Pari «Which declined 4, to 63, after selling at 59, Burlington & Quincy fluctuated between 174 and il, without any transactions,. The delay about declaring the promised scrip dividend was the cause of 2 feverish fecling. At the close the quotations showed 2 recovery of 1%, to 172%. The Directors have referred the decision of the dividend question toa meeting of stockholders to be held Dec. 28. All the other notable fluctuations were in the direction of higher prices. Lake Shore made 1%, tok’; St. Paul preferred 1%, to 12; Delaware & Hudson 1, to 89:4; Lackawanna X, to 104%; Iron Mountain 23, to 47%; Chattanooga 1%, to ‘79%, after selling at 81; Lake Erie & Western 1}y, to 3354; Omaha preferred 13;, to 88%; Rio Grande 3, to 8 All the other changes were fractional, ‘ Union Pacific was very active, ranging be- twoen 107% and 106%, closing % lower than the day before. Money Josned at one time as high as 1-16 per cent premium, but this did not disturb the con- fidence of the street, whieh was more bullish in its temper than it has been before for weeks. There has not been a time in the last two years when stocks were held by stronger inen, or with more indifference to the maneuvres of ordinary ‘Wall strect speculation. Jay Gould yesterday purchased 15,000 shares ot the International & Great Northern Railroad of Texas at 40. It is to be made part of his Missouri, Kansas & Texas consolidation. ‘The real manipulation of the money market in New York, according to the Public, has been in making 8 really close market look casy, and in kindling anew the tlames of speculation. But it isas well to understand that purchases of 13,000,000 bushels of grain and 95,000 barrels of Hour, costing about $15,000,000; of 1,128,650 bales of cotton, costing about $59.00 per bale, or $66,472,000; of railroad bonds amounting to $15,000,000; and of stocks valued last week at $02,437,000, cannot be made in a single week, besides transacting all the other business of a reat city, the chief commercial and monetary centre of the continent, with only $66,571,300 cush in all the banks. Exchanges of $1,155,000,- 000 require more than 6 per cent of cash in sight, in order to make things move smoothly. Goverament bonds were quict. In Chicago, District of Columbia 3653 wero 100%; and 101%; the United States’ 4s, 112% and 113; the 4338 were 111% and 111%; the 5s, 101% and 10134; and the 6s, 1044; and 104%. At the close the 49 and 4%s were 4; higher. Foreign exchange was weaker during the day, wsbade stronger in the afternoon, on better ad- vices from New York. The market fluctuated 80 much that standard quotations are difficult to give, and will probably continue equally sensi- tive to New York influence during the next two weeks. Sterling posted rates were 479% and 482%. Bankers’ actual rates were 478 for sixty- day bilis and 481% for demand. For sixty-day commercial bills for prompt delivery 476 @476X.

The price of New York ex- change rose to 60c per $1,000 discount, and some Jarge bilis were soldat par. The Chicago banks have ceased to draw currency from New York, and may ship some back to that city before the first of the year, as large remittances have to be made of funds to be disbursed in dividends. Country orders tor currency were moderate Loans were in fairly good request at 6@7 per cent on call and 7@8 per cent on time, with some timo loans to independent borrowers at 6 per cent.

Reet 2M, Gata b Be: BM ies | Tb Ci i aay 3a The lending produce markets were moderately active Saturday, witha steadier feeling in pro~ visions and decided strength in grain. The lat- ter was led by wheat, as usual; that cereal being quoted firmer in England, with a better shipping demand for red both here and in New York, while the recent sharp decline has materially reduced the disadvantage we have erstwhile labored under from being far away above other markels, Milwaukee, for instance, averaged | about the same as Chicago Saturday, while it was 2c below us early in the week; and parties in tho trade gay that the “ disfavor” on shipping wheat to New York was reduced from 7c a few days ago to 1Xe Saturday. Also our receipts of grain were nguin ight. All this was favorable to higher prices in wheat, and corn and oats were firmer in sympathy. Barley was running stronger on its own account. Mess pork closed 24,@5c lower, at $13.124@13.15 sellerJanuary, and $13.30 for February. Lard closed 244c per 100 Ibs higher, at $8.424@8.45c soller January, and $8.55@8.57% for February. short ribs closed at $6.72:4G8.75 seller February.

Cattle were quiet, at $2.50@6.25 for poor to extra. ‘There was a very fair movement in staple and fanoy groceries, anda firm set of prices, cof- fees alone showing weakness. The quotations of Rio styles were further reducod %@ic, but under an increasing demand dealors expeot soon to recover a part of the recent decline. Sugars continue searce and strong. Rice, sir- ups,- molasses, spices, and other lines wero quoted as before. In the dried-fruit market there were no changes. Trade reported satis- factory, and former prices were firmly adhered to, both for domestic and imported fruits. Fish received but little attention, this being the dull season in this branch of trade. There was a fair movement in butter, and flue grades were firm. Cheese was again dull and heavy. Oils sold at Friday's quotations und ruled steady. Coal and pig-iron remained firm. Lumber was steady, with moderate sales. The shipments were fair,and are expected tobe during the month, the bulk of tho lumber now moving out having been contracted for in the cartier part of the autumn. Wool was steady and in moderate order request. Seeds were in fair de- mand, timothy being stronger, and the other kinds exhibited little chauge. The sales of tim- othy hay to shippers were up to the recont aver- age, and prairie was oasy under free arrivals. On the street poultry wasin good demand and firmer, and game also was higher, excepting venison. More busincss was reported in green fruits. It is stated that there is plenty of storago room for wheat in Rea Wing, Minn., without re- sort to platforms. That {s a fair sample of the way in which well-informed and well-meaning people will contradict. One says there is, ana another says there is (not). A gentloman in the export business remarked Saturday that we cannot place very much dependence just now on the wheat quotations of New York and Liverpool, because neither place has any new No.2 spring wheat. Tho No. ein New York is made up from country ship- Tents which have not passed inspection nere, and may be soveral cents per bu away from ours in milling value. PROVISIO: HOG PRODUCTS—Were less active and sten(ter, though pork was quoted weak by somo. The market was strong at the opening, with a fair speculative do- mand, bat fell back when the local hog market was quoted lower, with milder weather. Lard was relatively firm here, betng quoted 6d higher in Liver- pool. Meats were steady, but with not much export demand at the pricos asked. It was understood, how- ever, that there wore a fuir number of export orders lmitod to figures below the views of hulders. ‘Tho Datly Commercial Bulletin gives the following as tho (hog) packing from Nov. 1 to date, In two years: Chicago, 1 Cincinnatl, 6.

CINCINNATI SENSATION. A Rather Uncommon State of Things in the Comnion Plens Court. Bveciat Dispatch to The Chicago Tritmne, Crxcinnaty, O., Dec, 11.—A singular row is in progress {n the Common Pleas Court in this city, and each day adds more sensational features. Silas W. Hoffman, ex-City Auditor, who, until recently, was the John Kelly of local politics, is on trial for embezzlement of the city’s funds. He is defended by T. C. Campbell, a. noted criminal lawyer. When the case was begun the discovery was made that Prosecuting-Attorney Drew, who is 4 Republican, had furnished a list of names of jurors to the Court bailiff, and that two of those men were on the jury. Assistant- Prosecutor Oulealt denounced the act as part of a conspiracy between the prosecuting attorney and Hoffman’s counsel to deteat the ends of justice. Then followed an ex- plosion in which attorneys and officers of the court made the most. damaging charges against each other, and backed them up with altidavits. To-day Mr. Drew made his de- fense, in which he admitted that he put two men on the jury,’and charged practically that Ji udge Smith, the presiding Judge, had been ineluded by Julius Dexter, the citizen most active in prosecuting Hoffman, in a conspiracy to pack « jury to convict Hoff- man without regard to evidence. ‘The affair has disclosed 2 inost disgraceful 2 of things in Cincinnati courts of justice, and lias naturally produced a sensation. THE CITY HALL, Axsour $65,000 was paid the school-teachers yesterday in cash. Some one stole Mike McDonald's ash-receiver, which cost bitm $8, and for emptying ashes into ‘the street ho has been fined $5 and costs. Tho victims of the ash ordinance are multiplying every day, and Capt. Wilson, who has churge of its enforcement, aays there wilt be no let-up. Tne City Engineer hus about completed his estimates for either n bridge or tunnel at Four- teenth street. Figuring in the possible land daimayes, be 1s suttsted that to make either of the proposed improvements will cost about $1,000,000. He will report to the Council on the subject to-morrow evening. SUPERINTENDENT KIRKLAND and Fire-Mar- shal Swenie yesterday commenced their nnnuul inspection of the theatres. They started with that on tho found that both had taken the necessary‘ pre- cautions against fire, ete. They were especially pleused with the shape in which they found the last-named establishment, and sey that when completed it will be as near fire-proof us possible. ‘Tre Judiciary Committee abont completed the revision of tho ordinances yesterday, but will not be able to report to the Council for a week yet, for the reason that some of the work needs to be gone over aguin. Especially is this the case with the ordinances affecting the lay- ing of private drains or sewers, which Col. Eliers bas recommended be changed in somo | respects. MORE SMALL-POX. Two new cases of small-pox were reported Resterday, one from Illinois street, just west of Wells, and the other from No. 8 South Peoria street. One was A. Lingenfelter, and the name of the other is unkrown. In both cases tho patients were removed to the Smull-Pox, Hosol- utl, and the premises taken charge of by tho Health authorities. The origin of the disease is not clearly known, but Dr. De Wolf is satisfied | that tnere has been one or more cases in the West Division of the elty which hare been con- cealed, and that these cases.as well na the one at ijl South Morgan street afew days ayo. can be triced to that locality. He is’ spar- ing no pains to seurch out the source of tho infection, and, if he once gets tho disease in band. bas no ‘fear but what he can control it. He thinks tae concealed cases are south of Madison street aud west of Halsted, and his conviction is strengthened by the fact that Miss Smytho, who died of the dis- ease on the South Side recently, had been it- ing that locality. and also by the further fact ee the North Siae patient was employed there- abouts. TRICEINE. Dr. De Wolf yesterday, atthe instance of some medicul gentlemen, wrote tho following touch- ing trichinw. It contains nothing specially new, j yet it will prove of interest to pork-vaters: ‘ Citicaco, Dec, 1 1880.—The unfortunate cases of trichinosis reportrd by Dr. 'Tomboeken in the daily papers stould commend public attention ta the following facts, very brieily stated: | 1.-Itue hog infected with trichniw: bas every appearance Of vigorous geuith.

Topeka, Kas., Dec. 11.—An investigation shows that, the exodus of colored people to Kansas continues, the number now arriving being about 590 per week. The Storekeeper at the North Topeka Barracks says the num- ber reporting there for assistance will aver- age 200 per week. Many of them do not come to the barracks, all those who are able leaving directly for parts of the State where labor is in demand, A large emic tion from ‘Texas, mostly traveling in wazons, is constantly pouring into Southern Kansas, and supplies have been sent to Independence znd Columvus for the benefit of those in des- titute circumstances, Gov. St John does not attempt to discohrage the movement, but is using every endeavor to turn the tide into other States. The Relicf Board is still op- erating here, though with limited means. Leading colored men here say the exodus will take still larger proportions during the winter and coming spring. ————— The question of relative superiority of works of art, as of musical instruments, 1s not of easy settlement, always, though ianos, the popular verdict or preference jn such perfect keeping with “professional i eriticism as to hardly leave an open ques- ‘Lhe music masters indorse the Mallet, é tion. i Davis & Co. as the best instrument in the world.
