WALL STREET, } Tuurspay, July 25—6 P. M. On 'Ohange to-day wheat showed a better feeling, holders of spring advancing their prices, which, however, in the absence of demand, were merely mominal. Flour was strong for fresh ground, with @ generally improved demand for tre other grades. Cotton was quiet, but steady, at 2ic. for low mid- dling and 22c, for middling. BUSINESS ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE WAS QUIET, even the reported heavy loss by the fire in Jersey City last night failing to galvanize Erie into excite- ment. The reason of this remarkable reticence on tthe part of a stock usually so mercurial to respond 4n movement to an incident degidedly calculated ‘to affect its value was owing to the early CIRCULATION OF REPORTS ‘from the company that the loss had been very much overestimated and was fully covered by in- surance, recently made upon policies variously de- scribed as “floating,” “blanket,” or “general.” The ‘Grat reduction in the amount of the loss, after the morning journals’ estimate, fixedSit at $2,000,000, Later the company’s agents named $700,000 as the approximate figure of the loss, while an insurance agent who naturally owes a divided allegiance to the Erie Company and the underwriters estimates ft at $400,000, It is safe to conclude that the whole @mount is covered by insurance; but while the ‘etatis of this.{nsurance are not given, it is con- ceded that at the lowest appraisement of the losses ‘the specific insurance does not cover such loss, but ithe balance can be easily made up out of the gene- ral policies, TO ILLUSTRATE ‘the difference between these specific risks and gen- eral risks it is worth while to show the relation of ‘one company to this fire. The London, Liverpool ‘and Globe Insurance Company varry risks pur- hased from another company of California upon he property of the Erie Railroad amounting to “900, of which $9,000 was specific ms, \ the Jersey City workshops. They elgo carry a $2,500 general risk, which fs mot liable for assessment until such ‘time as all the specific policies have been ex- jhausted without meeting the loss, when it becomes Mable to the extent of sixty per cent only. As all ‘the policies have been made out in the same form at is probable that thiS proportion—certainly a tmarked one between specific and general risks— thas been preserved throughout. This uncertainty fin the matter, however, calls attention to the MISTAKEN SILENCE ‘eo persistently sought to be preserved both by in- wurers and insured in the case of a fire in respect seither to the loss or the amount covered by insur- ‘ance. In the case of the loser it 1s capable of un- aderstanding upon the supposition that he might make a lower estimate than the adjusters ‘would—a rare circumstance, however, But am the case of the insurance companies it is simply a tradition of anearlicr age. The Stock xchange once thought that for the public to learn ‘of their dealings would be the destruction of their ‘business; but when tie HERALD let light in upon them and their transactions business ‘Mourished beyond their wildest dreams. ‘The insurance companies might learn ‘a lesson from this experience by satisfying public -curlosity—most natural where a pecuniary interest tis involved—upon occasions of excitement like ‘this. Every owner of a policy has an immediate dnterest in knowing what companies are dnvolved in the loss sustained from any vareat fire, and to withhold such informa- tion necessarily weakens public confidence dn the very principle of insurance. It takes away its greatest promise—viz., relief from anxiety—in- creasing uneasiness rather by its spasmodic excite- tment. Since the Chicago fire particularly, when so ‘many companies were wound up and a large num- ber of insurers found themselves after months with WORTHLESS POLICIES in their possession, such information is more than vever required and should be promptly supplicd ‘from authettic sources. The companies that per- sistently refuse it are legitimately open to ‘the suspicion of being dangerously in- ‘volved. Since the Erie fire there have been other fires resulting in serious loss, The ‘warehouses of New York are crowded with ‘valuable merchandise, waiting the Ist of August to ‘take advantage of the ten per cent tariff reduction ‘before being taken out of bond. The late extraore <linary warm weather has rendered many of these dangerously inflammable, and every merchant, some of whom have whoie fortunes thus invested, 1s interested in learning how his UNDERWRITERS ARF AFFECTED by current losses. Every householder and shop- keeper has the same interest, and this silence on the part of the insurance companies is almost scan- datous under the circumstances, as well as calcu: lated to destroy all confidence in their stability. Another point which insurers would = gain = from this publication of risks by insurance compantes after every great fire would be alarger distribution of such risks in the ‘business of these companies and a more conserva- tive policy in their government. A consummation ‘most devoutly to be wished by all who have any- thing to lose by fire—insure it. THE MOVEMENT IN ERIE. ‘to-day appeared to have but slight reference to the fre, the price opening at 61, but speedily fallying apon purchases by those interested in sustaining the price of the stock. The same parties affect to regard the loss last night as trifling; but while Erie is ® borrower in the market the oss of even half a million is a great matter. %& would pay off a good many coupon: ‘besides some interruption and transportation must result from the destruction of material, making sti farther reduction in their earnings this and next month, even, than was exhibited last month. ‘The range of Erie to-day was 51 to 62%, leaving off firm, Pacific Mait and North West common were the only other features, but even in these the fluctuations were only 1% per cent, The rest of the list was steady. THE EXTREMES. ‘The following were the highest and lowest prices of stocks during the day :— Western, tinoin’ Telegraph. Pacilic GOLD 11446 a 114%, The gold market was firm to-day, with all sales at i144 a 1145.

Gold remained steady, without further advance up to the close, ‘The car- rying rates were 1 and 2 per cent. The Assist- ant Treasurer paid out to-day $265,000 on account of interest and $80,000 in redemption of 5-20 bonds. The specie shipment was $835,000, of which $161,000 was silver, The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows:—Gold balances, $2,016,315; currency balances, $2,318,606; gross clearances, $38,037,000, The following table shows the price of gold at vartous hours of the da} 10 A.

The Management Charged with Kid- napping—The Case Brought Before the jmpreme Court—Some Curlous Facts Doveloped. Marta Kane, a girl thirteen years of age, was left several months since an orphan. Her uncle, Rufus Kane, had charge of her after her parents’ death: In the early part of March last she was induced to enter the Howard Mission, though what the precise inducements were does not yet appear, Thete was CHARGE OF KIDNAPPING, which charge, it is only proper to say, is denied: An effort was made to find her, but, as alleged, they refused at the Howard Mission to tell where she was. Mr. J, M. Sheehan was employed by the girl's uncle to take such legal steps to erfect her recovery as he deemed best in the premises, He at cnce made application for a writ of habeas corpus at Supreme Court, Cham- bers, which was granted. Instead of the girl beiug produced in Court, however, the writ was demurred to and a counter demurrer followed, and in short there was tie usual amount of legal twisting, subdter- fuge and strategy. Mr. Sheehan continued his re- Searches and the legal fight, He ascertained that the girl had been given to a Mr, Humphreys at Cold Spring; or rather, wien VEN TO THE WALL, the other side finally acknowledged “this fact In re- turn to the wit, Mr, Sheehan traversed this and the inatter was yesterday again brow 7 the Court, the hearing ¢ oming beiure Judge F tho Supréime Court Chambers.

Application for the Release from the City Prison of Carl Vogt—Judge Pratt, of the Supreme Court, Hears the Argu- ment and Reserves His Decision. Carl Vogt, charged with the murder of the Bel- gian nobleman Dg Bianco, and after the murder stealing some fifty thousand dollars’ worth of se- curities which had belonged to the murdered man, and then setting fire to the latter’s villa in the sub- ‘urbs of Brussels to conceal the murder and robbery, was yesterday brought, on writ of habeas cor- pus, before Judge Pratt, holding Supreme Court Chambers, and application made for his release from the City Prison on account of undue delay in bringing him to trial. It will be remembered that, owing to there being no extradition treaty be- tween*Belgium and the United States, Governor Hoffman ordered that he be delivered to the custody of the Belgian authorities under the State laws. The legality of this step by the Governor was questioned, and the matter brought before Judge Curtis, of the Superior Court, who decided that the action of the Governor was unconstitutional, and remanded Vogt for trial un- der an indictment found against nim for theft of the securities, Mr. Anthon, on behalf of Vogt, urged his dis- charge under the statute directing the discharge of a prisoner if he be not tried at the term following his indictment, when he has not made the applica- tion himself for the delay and the District Attorney shows that there was no unusual delay in bringing the case to trial. Mr. Sullivan, Assistant District Attorney, recited the facts of the case from the arrest of Vogt in this country to the recent hearing before Judge Curtis. He added that he had just received a letter from Attorney General Barlow requesting, pursuant to the wishes of Governor Hoffman, the papers in the case, witn 2 view to bring the same before the Supreme Court to settle the question of the legality or otherwise of his late warrant. He said further that the indictment had been properly found, and should be tried, and insisted that there had been no unwarrantable delay in bringing Vogt to trial. He further said that one witness had come from Belgium, but was not able to prove the larceny, and he was now in communication with the Belgian Sonsul, with the view of getting witnesses from Belgium who could prove the larceny. ir. Anthon argued that there had been quite time enough to procure witnesses if they were forthcoming, and said that the reason that there Was no treaty between this country and Belgiwn was because the latter found it convenient to send her criminals over here. Mr. Sullivan—And we find it convenient to punish them when we catch them. After further remarks Judge Pratt ordered that the prisoner be remanded te the City Prison pend- ing his decision, wich he said he would give on Saturday, THE COMING PRIZE FIGHTS. Training for the Heavy and Light Weight Championships. Three weeks from this date Jeni Mace and Ned O’Baldwin, the giants of the prize ring, will meet face to face in the fistic arena, somewhere on the soil of Virginia, to decide their muscular superior- ity, the incentives being the sum of $2,000 and the heavy weight championship of America. Mace for some time past has been actively at work preparing for the great job he has on hand, and many of his frfénds and scores of the curious have visited his headquarters at the Belmont Hotel, on Central avenue, Fordham, to ascertain his condition and wish him success in the comin; encounter. From present appearances it is thought the betting will be greatly against Mace—offers of two to one having already been made—as he {s getting quite along In years for the severe work of training, and his numerous battles must have weakened to some de- free his physicai qualities. However, Mace feels con- dent and cheerful, and is doing the work required by his mentor in the Rindliest spirit possible. Ina few days he will leave his present quarters for some quiet place near the seaside, this change being made because of the necessity for sea bath- ing. O’Baldwin remains at Atlantic City, N. J., where his exercises are gone through with regu- larly and earnestly.
