On 'Change to-day wheat was firm and tiour strong and active. The cotton market was steady. THE DRY GOODS IMPORTS. The imports of foreign dry goods at the port of New York, for the week ending August 29, 1872, amounted to $4,379,273, The amount marketed during the same period was $4,971,943, MONEY THREE PER CENT. The first quotation for money was 4a 5 per cent, ‘With the business almost exclusively at 4 per cent. After two o’clock there was a pressure to lend, and transactions occurred at as low as two per cent, ‘the closing dealings being at three per cent. Prime paper is quoted 729 percent discount. Foreign exchange was heavy and lower, the prime bankers reducing their asking rates to 109 and 100% for sterling. Actual business, what little transpired, Was iuily a quarter per cent below these figures, ‘The specie of the Bank of France-shows a galn for the week of 2,500,002 francs. GOVERNMENTS LOWER, Despite the decidedly easier terms for money @nda fractional improvement in our bonds at London governments were heavy and % a % per cent lower, sympathizing in this respect with the gold market, which, after all, is the nearest and most potent induence upon their quotations. The following were the closing prices;—United States currency sixes, 112}; 2 112%; do, do., 1881, regis- ‘tered, 114 a 11434; do. do. do., coupon, 116% @ 116%; do. five-twentics, registered, May and November, 1143 a 11434; do. do., 1862, coupon, do., 1144 a 11436; do. do., 1864, do., do., 11445 @ 114%; ; do. do., 1895, do., do., 11434 a 114%{; do. do., 1867, registered, January and July, 113% a 113%; do. do., 1865, coupon, do., 11334 a 11334; do. do., 1867, do., do., 113% a 114; do. do., 1868, do., do., 113% a 114; do. ten-forties, registered, 1083 @ 109; do. do., coupon, 111% @ 112; do. fives of 1881, registered, 1114; a 112; do. do. do., coupon, 11114 a 112. GOLD LOWER—112% a 112%. The gold market was heavy and lower as a conse- uence of the weakness of foreign exchange, the result, in turn, of turther recent negotiations in Europe of American railway loans, The price went off from 112% to 11254, with most of the day’s busi- mess at 112%. There was little specuiative anima- tion on either side of the market, which was dull and otherwise devoid of feature. The Sub-Treasury paid out $203,000 on account of interest and $25,000 on account of called bonds. The course of the market is shown in the table:— 10 A. M... 112% 1P. M. 2P.M 3P. M.

The Southern State bonds were quiet and gen- erally steady. The new South Carolinas were fairly active, with an advance to 2534, the depress- ng influence of the recent political agitation in the State having exhausted itself, A small lot of Arkdnsas funded sixes sold at 50. The following were the closing quotations :—Tennessee, ex cou- pon, 78% a 74; do., new, 734 a 74; Virginia, ex coupon, 47a 59; do., registered stock, old, 38 2 40; do., sixes, consolidated bonds, 511g a 61343 do. do., deferred scrip, 1534 2 16; Georgia sixes, 70 @ 75; do. sevens, 87 289; North Carolina, ex coupon, 3344 a 94; do., to North Carolina Railroad, 47 4734; do., funding, 1866, 25 a 27; do. do., 1868, 21 a 23; do., mew, 20 a 22; do., special tax, 14 a 16; Missouri sixes, 9314 & 93}; do., Hannibal and St. Joseph, 91 0 92; Louisiana sixes, 50 a 65; do., new, 48 a 52; do., levee sixes, 60 a 65; do. do. eights, 70a 75; do. do. do., 1875, 70 & 80; Alabama fives, 55 a 60; do, eights, 82 a 85; South Carolina sixes, 52 a 5¢; do., new, January and July, 2534 a 25%; do. do., August and Uctober, 24 a 25, THE RAILROAD BONDS, The foilowing were the bias for the railroad ine NY a ls iat By dy 75,8 wisi 7.10 Mi rt Alb & Sus zi SEESSEESEE < Take Shore, cc bd ‘Lake Shores con, Pac RR 7s, gua: Gon Pi Gon Fao gold bs. y Miss 24 m, Dub & ious city int 8% Peninsula ist m con, & St , Chie at ind © Ter bee Aa ai ar urn iv R'York's It Haven Bost'it & Erielatm Ps, 413 BONDS OF THB CITY OF NEW YORK.

The stock market was heavy, with a few excep- tions, and lower, the decline resulting from a disposition to take the profits of the past few days’, but exceeding at the most an average of hardly one half per cent, Indeed, a good part and in some instances all of the decline was recovered late in the day so that the market wound up without any material variation from the corresponding record of the previous day.

Vietimizing the Bank of British North America, Henry Clews and Brown Brothers. Further developments are daily coming to hand in the case of Willtam Anderson, whose right name ts supposed to be Cohen, and who has victimized the agency of the Bank of British North America to the extent of $5,000. A letter of credit was given him at the bank for $5,000, payable at the varions | agencies of the bank, in Europe and the British Possessions. When he received payments against his letter of credit, which were duly inscribed, he, by means of chemical solutions, obliterated all traces of the writing, and the letter of credit appeared os if not a single ym had been made against the $5,000 which Beret pe paid to the bank for his letter of credit.

The New Raid of the Legislature Against “Forty-Rod” Establishments, Poouliarities in the Provisions of the Moasure No Drinks for Minors, Would-Be Intemperate ‘Wives or Dissipated Husbands—Heavy Pona‘tios and Restrictions Im- posed on All Dealers, BRiparrort, Conn., August 22, 1872, Since the passage of the Maino law, long since a Practical dead letter in this State, no legislative enactment relative to the sale of liquor has been passed of such importance as that which recently received the sanction of both Houses of the Logislature and the Governor. It was introduced Into the House by Nathantel Wheeler, democratic member from this city, was warmly advocated by him, and was sustained by auch prominent democrats as ex-Governor English, T. M, Waller and Mr. Judd, of Stratford, and was passed by a large majority, many republicans voting for it, It cannot be called a party measure, for ealthough {ntrodaced and mainly managed by the democrats, it was supported by many republicans, and the prospect is that it wil! be insured a fair trial. But, although non-partisan in its character, still, having been advocated by prominent mem- bers of the deinocratic party never heretofore identified with any temperance movement, what- evor dissatisfact‘on arises from its operation wil! naturally result to their disadvantage, as tho grdat majority of those affectea belong to the democratic party. The law is A STRINGENT LICENSE LAW, and its chief features are briefly these :— It provides that the County Commissioners may give annual licenses to persons to sell liquor upon the recommendation of the Selectmen of any towa, the license fee to be tron one hundred to five hundred dollars. Any person receiving a license must give a bond, with ‘sureties, in the sum of $1,000, con- ditioned “for the due observance of all laws that are or shall be made respecting taverns and splr- ituous liquors,” It further provides that any town may forbid its Selectmen to recommend any person for a license and thereby prohibit the sale of liquor in that town. The County Commissioners are fur- ther authorized, for due cause, to revoke any license already given. Any person soiling liquor, ale, wines, lager beer, &c., without a license, of after the revocation of’his license, shall be liable e a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $600, or by imprisonment not more than six months, or by both fine and imprisonment, HARD ON MINORS, HUSBANDS AND WIVES, It further prohibits the sale of intoxicating bev- erages to any miuor, under proper penalties. If any one knowingly sells liquor to any drunkard, or to a husband or wife, after receiving a notic nm either husband or wife uot to seli to the othe , Or to any person already intoxicated, he may be pun- ished by fine and imprisonment. If any ae cated Palaqor does damage to the person or prop- erty of another, the injured party may recover the amount of damage, to an amount not exceeding $1,000, from the one who sold the liquor or from his sureties, Any person who shall keep a place in which it is reputed liquor is gold shall be liable to fine and imprisonment, All emplor‘s of 9 liquor seller are to be equally amenable with the princtpal for violation of the law, and every licensed person must have his license framed and hung up in his Place of business, The law is to go into effect on the 15th of Septera- | ber next. The ultra temperance mon are, of course, not satisfied with it, but it is claimed, with @ good show of reason, since these men have lacked the courage or ability to enforce the Maine law, that this law regulates in the best possible manner the sale of liquor which they are powerless to prevent. Itis thought that it will be generally enforced through the eiliciency of the law officers and from the interest which will be felt in its en- forcement by all dealers who pay the license money and furnish bonds. Naturally these will not con- nive at the selling of parties who are not licensed, but will be on the lookout for such cases to shut them 7 As it will not be bao aos d for the in- former to publicly appear, there will not be the same objection to intorming against non-licensed parties that otherwise might exist. Many dealers, those who are able to comply with the provisions ‘of the law, look upon it favorably, in the belief that the smaller places where liquor is sold being closed, their own business will proportionately increase. SOME WHOLESALE DEALERS are not in favor of the new law, since the closing of many small dramshops will decrease their trade, The parties most affected, the small dealers, grocers, &c., &c., are not sparing in their denun- clations of the law, and it will operate to close up many of this class of ior sellers, as nearly every grocery in Bridgeport, jor instance, sells liquor, an? as if is kept at alf the drug stores, these places will be com-¢| eed to come within the operation of the jaw or to leave off selling; which latter alternative would be fatal to some of them, such as are now only floated by thelr rum business, which supple- ments their more legitimate traMc, There is con- siderable complaint among these dealers at the un- | justness of the law, and they are astounded at its having veen advocated and passed by democrats, They think that the attempt to en{irce it would Jose that party a large portion of its supporters jrom among the sinaji dealers. On the other hand, ic is argued that these men, though AGGRIRVED AT THE OPERATION OF TIE LAW, can oniy withdraw from the democratic party for a time, and could not go to the republican party, since that would be “out of the frying pan into the fire.’ Even were this true, however, it would not prevent the Immediate effect of the law being ad- verse to ita prominent democratic supporters. The general opmion among the people—those not pe- cuntarily interested in the operation of tie law—is in favor of its provisions, and there is a belief that its enforcement woul resutt in great good to the State. Many of its provisions are regarded as excclient and meet with wniversal appro- bation. The towns which now enforce the Maine law can prohibit the sale of liquor by & majority vote of thetr citizens, and they wil be as well of a3 under the old law. Any towa can do this where public opinion will support it, and with- out this no law can long be operative. The sections of the new law prohibiting the sale to minors and to husband or wile afier notice, the revoking a license for failure to comply with the law, the re- sponsibflity of the seller for damage done by a per- son to whom he has sold liquor, are all regarded as provisi liable to result in much good, and there ; Will doubtless be an effort to have them thoroughly enforced, It is thought that the including of drug- gists and the punishment of parties reputed to keep liquor for sale are rather severe encctments, but even the criticism on them is limited Cn | the general public. The Maine law having proved after long years of trial a practical failure, there is ageneral wish to see this new law with its un- doubtedly wise provisions thoroughly tested as the next best thing to a prohibitory law. This opinion prevails among temperance men who do not belong to the radical wing of that organization, and among all those who have the public peace and general welfare at heart, HORRIBLE CASE OF SUICIDE, ROCKLAND, Me., August 20, 1872. Dr. Jewett, of North Haven, Me., & liberally edu- cated, but very eccentric old man, who formerly re- sided in Bangor, ended his life in @ very traric manner on Friday tast.
