Faray, Sept. a ‘There was moreased sotivity in the stock market this “morning, and at the first reguiar board Erie closed % Ihigher than at the second board yesterday, Reading %, Michigan zouthern 36, Llinois Central %, Cleveland and Pittsburg }<, Prairie du Chien %, Ohio and Mississippi certificates 4, New York Contral 3s, Cumberland %. Government securities were steady under a renewed de- mand for export from importers, who profer shipping securities to remitting bankers’ bills drawn against gold, whenever there is a prospect of getting exchange cheaper by that course. Coupon five-twenties advanced 34 a 34, now issue 34 8%. State stocks were firm. Ten- nossee sixes sold at 88, Missouri sixes 76, North Carolius sixes 8034. $ At the open board at one o’clock the market was firm and active, and the demand for Erie continued in antici- pation of the closing of the books to-morrow. At the’ second regular board it relapsed into ive; in- activity, and Ene closed 3 lower than at the first board, Budson River 34, Prairie du Chien 34, Cumberland %. ‘New York Central and Rock Island were unchanged. Reading was 3 higher, Michigan Southern , Cleveland and Pittsburg 3, Northwestern 3, Ohio and Mississipp! certificates 34. Government securities were less active, Coupon five-twenties of the new issue advanced 34, ten- fortion ig. At the open board at half-past three prices were 34 8 % higher. Erie sold at 88%, Michigan Southern 68}, Illinois Central 1283, Cloveland and Pittsburg "717%, Reading (8,3) 100%, Rock Isiand 1124, Cumberland 4674, Ohio and Mississippi certificates 23%. Afterwards on the street the market was steady. ‘The facility with which stocks are carried, owing to the cheap and abundant supply of money, favors specu- lation for a rise; but the movements of the market are to a considerable extent feverish and spasmodic, Tran- sient strength is not inconsistent with inherent, weakness, and, in the absence of outside support,” ail prices beyond acertain point are bubbles blown by specuiation upon a broker’s market, and the greater the inflation the greater the gubsequent collapse. . Nevertho- Jess, the disposition to. operate for a rise in the streot is gonerally the procursor of the rise itself; but.the latter is eventually: lost under sales to realize and speculation for a fall, and they are the losers who lag behind in the race’to buy or sell when the tide turns. Tho lo’s of one is the ‘gain of another, and vice versa, and if the ‘whole body of speculators is composed only of the brokers and profesional operators, it stands Vo reason that their aggregate resources are being contin- ually éxtiausted to the extent of their personal expenses. ‘The losees of the general outside public in Wall street contribute to the aggregate of its wealth and replenish the coffers of those who make « business of speculation, and if it were possible to confine operations on the Stock Exchange to the ‘brokers and professional specula- tors now there, the result would be that within no long time they would have eaten up their own sub- ‘staneo and that the pricesof stocks would decline in something like the proportion in which their combined means of carrying them diminished. The same argn- mont applies to the market in its present condition. Prices may be forced higher, but unless speeu- lators or investors come forward to share the burdens of the street and recruit the ranks of those who are now alternately ‘“bulling” and “bearing” the market, quotations must finally sink, and especially under any pinch in the money market, which they, in any case, will do when- evor the latter is felt. Meanwhile speculation may run the market up and down and up again; but it is for in- vestors to consider whether they would be acting wisely fn buying stocks at present prices when, however much higher they may go in the intorval, Shey are certain §p be much lower before the year closes, Petroleum stocks were generally higher at the first board than at the same tims yesterday. Webster ad- vanced Ic., Watson 12c,, Buchapan Farm 10c,, Oil Creok 5o., Umted States 40c. Pithole Creek was 10c. lower, First National 1c. At the second board Pithole Creek rose 30c., closing at $820; Montana closed at $8 85, United States (b.10) $27 70, Webster $1 55, Buchanan Farm 87¢., First National 22¢., Oceanic 50¢., Oil Cresk $2 22, Heydrick 860. Loans at call were made freely at 526 percent, but the demand was brisker, ‘and in the discount lino there was considerable activity at 7a 8 and 9g 10 per cent for first and second class commercial paper. The gold market was a fraction lower than yesterday, partly under the report that tho payment of the Novem. ber Interest on the flve-twenty loan would be anticipated on and-alter Monday morning noxt, To-day the Sub Treasurer in this city made an official announcement to this effect. The effect will, however, only be felt in the increase of the floating supply of coin, which will exert Dut a slight and temporary influence upon the premium. ‘The amouat to be disbursed is $15,197,035. The opening price was 143%, after which it advanced , and re- mained steady at 143% during the rest of the day.

President, : ‘ Defence—The Fourth Mate Acts as Doc. tor on of the Car- penter—The Ship’s Measures and Scales Brought into Court, dic. Before Commissioner Osporn, ‘The trial of Captain Anderson, of the ship Villafranca, ‘for atlegod cruelty and maltreatment of passengers, was continued yesterday morning before (ommissioner Os- born, im the United States Circuit Court, The court room was crowded by the passengers, as usual, theyrew Of the ship and witnesses for the defence occupying the ywitness box. Captain Anderson was present during the Proceedings, as was also one of the firm of E. E. Morgan & Co., of this city, the consignees of the Villafranca, Wm. D. Morgan, of the firm of E, E. Morgan & Co., the of the ship was the first witness ifpiag Dosaoss for ono Your and abaif tk this oy Sito years in ; Captain Anderson had the London ; character of always Riad to bis pate ors; it was Sta taaeor Uae wapetion Cor hip at London; done by the ment i to the Vil was 0 said he supplied the r her voyage; the same meat was furnished to other vessels and no complaint was ever made about it. Cross-examined by Mr. Bel.—Haa sold twelve barrel of beef and twelve of pork tothe Villafranca, tho boot was for the pe te vovoge trom was for the passengers and crew on tho voyage London and back; the meat was packed last winter; could tell that fromthe appearance; did not inspect the twelve barrels of beef or pork before delivery; beo! will keep about a ges if pack -d in that manner, there were difter- ent kinds of hee! sold to vessels; ald not know what the captains of the vesgels eat; occasionally 3 different class of market baef is used for the cabin; the beef and pork pork of the Villafranea; could not ‘cil what vessel he in- baat inspected about one hundred thousand barrels luring the year; what was passed was good; any meas that is rejected is sold to merchants as sour. Mr. Matthows, an inspector of beef und pork, testified that he inspected the meat alluded to by Mr. Cooper, and it was good. In crogs-examination he aaid he sold the meat to Mr. Gooper. Question—Did ever ach sour, ? ‘Wituess—Yer; but what I generally sold was good. Edward Cooney, tho carpenter, was again called to the stand, and testified that he saw the meat of the Villa- franca opened in London; it was good. Croas examined by Mr. Bell—caw only two barrels of beof and pork opened; there might have been some provisions left over ths previous voyage; could not tell what waa left over; there might have beon ten or twelve barrels of meat lett over, and thoro might be but two; cannot swear how many; I believe thore was over two; 1don’t know that the barreis leftover from the pre- vious voyage were inspected in London; I saw that the casks of meat at London had been burned; I cannot say what-barrels wore inspected; Lopened all the inspector wanted mo to at London. ‘Tho meagures of the ship were here produced in court, and Cooney identified them. When the scales were handed to Cooney hv said:—I weighed the meat for each passenger in that scalo; I gave each a full pound; they all got their rights. Mr. Bell here crogs-examined the witness regarding the scalos. Q Now, teil me how you weighed a pound of anything on that ecale. Cooney thon looked at the scales and replied, “I gavo thom a pound.” Mr. Beli—Tel! me how you did it by that scale. ‘The witness, haying examined the scales, seemed puz- sled and did not reply. Mr. Boll—You know that neither you oor any other man could weigh a pound by that scale, for the lowest mark on it is four pounds. ‘The scale was tuen exhibited. It was a spring bal- ance scale, very rusty, and seemed not to have been uacd lately. Tho lowest’ mark was four pounda, Cooney seomed puzzled by this revelation. He then left the stand without saying more.
