FINANCIAL, AND COMMERCIAL Sees An Examination of the Situation with Respect to the Crops at Home and Abroad. Cheap Food Not a Source of Danger. ‘The Dry Goods Trade and the Con- ditions Affecting Money. DULNESS IN STOCKS. WALL STREET, SUNDAY, August 30, 1874. Ifthere is one thing more than another cal- culated to nullify the whole bear argument of the past few months it is the effort to establish the inference that because Providence has this year blessed the earth with bountiful harvests alike in Europe as here we are on the eve of uni- versal bankruptcy. This will recall to the mind of many of our readers the false advice so persist- ently given the South at one time to decrease the area of cotton planting so as to control the price Of the staple in the market. Notwithstanding the utter unsoundness of such advice, its complete negation of all established economic principles, so strongly was it argued that, even in fear of its adoption, although it does. now seem.to have ever been seriously entertained, cotton planting else- where than in the Southern States received an im- petus which nas built up for the South a rivalry it Gever before had. It 18 @ similar argument that our abundant crops this year are to prove our de- struction, these reckless commentators who so argue seeming to lose sight of the fuct that CONSUMPTION KEEPS PACE WITH PRODUCTION. A few years ago and few menof the working classes wore white shirts, now the iruitfal yield of Georgia and South Carolina, fashioned into textile form in the mills of Manchester and New England, finds its presentment in millions of immaculate fronts worn by the tviling masses not alone on gala days, but as a regular part of their dress, If the abundant yield of this year should result in re- ducing the price of bread we may be certain that the hungry masses of England and the Continent ‘will but eat the more. ‘To our own people, earning high wages and accustomed to plentitul surround- ings, this increase in the supply of cereals will Probably produce no change in their diet, but when we take the poorly paid, indigent workers ofEngland ana the Continent, we can estimate how a slight reduction in the price of a loaf of bread may determine their preference for that as food before other articles, the price of which is still maintained, or how the cheapened dish of hominy (it is said to have been recently intro- duced in Europe) may console by increased bulk for the absence of pork. It will thus be seen that THIS MATTER OF LARGE HARVESTS carries with it its own regulator to maintain the ‘Value Of that harvest, and how thoroughly false 1s the assumption that the yield 1s so much in excess of human needs as to involve loss to the producer. This will not be so if the cost of transportation be Dot excessive. But we must have cheap freights both by rail and shipping to market our crops abroad, Railroad managers and shipowners will be alike blind to their own interests if they fail to recognize these facts. Neither should the farmers indulge in the suicidal policy of holding back their grain in expectation of higher prices, Their real interest is to feed the market freely from the start. Consumption will grow with cheap prices, and the market toward the close will then have a chance of a solid recovery, based upon an increased de- mand upon reduced stock. Besides, with all these figures which are now being exhibited of this year’s great yield, must also be associated the fact that not beiore tor a long period were stocks held over so low as they are this year; hence the large crop would seem to have come just in time | Pit to replenish exhausted granaries. Taken in any view, however, the fact remains that none but a ‘Wall street ‘bear’ of the most pronounced type could argue DISASTER FROM A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST, oranticipate national insolvercy simply because food promises to be plenty. It is perbaps the first time ‘hat the prospect of cheap bread was looked upon as impending danger. We fancy the shrewd statesmen of Europe, solicitous for peace and the stimulation of industrial development, hold a somewhat different opinion to that of our Wall street wiseacres of bear procilvities. THE EVENTS OF THE WEEK which closed on Saturday night were not ofa Momentous character. The money market has continued to rule with extreme ease, money being in abundant supply at 2 and 3per cent on call. Prime mercantile paper passes readily at 5 to 7 per cent, choice names at short date going as low as 4 percent. The movement of currency to the West would appear to have received a temporary check, judging by the bank statement, which is explained by the theory that prevailing low prices Is retard- ing the movement of the crops seaward. If this be ao itis a fatal error, as has been pointed out above, which Western men would do well to get rid of as quickly as possible, Tue true policy for the Western farmer 1s to enter the market as promptly as possible. Any attempt to hold back with a view to making better prices in that ‘way can only result in loss, Even if it were pos- sible for the Western men by holding back to reach even to the extent of making a corner on cereals their profit would all go to railroad men and ship- owners, who would in turn corner them on trans- Portation facilities and advance freights. The only sound course is to secure as speedily as pos- sible a free, open market. A great change has ‘been in progress during the past few years which has an important bearing in this market. This is Khe removal to a large extent oi THE DRY GOODS JOBBING TRADE from the Eastern cities, where it was formerly confined, to the different Western cities, such as Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, &c. This it is claimed has its advantazes in bringing the factor @Mearer to the retail dealer, and so facilitating trade aswell as collections. The apparent dul- ness in dry goods circies here is in & measure at- tributable to this fact, which it is important to keep in mind in any consideration of this market. The Financial Chronicle thas speaks of the sub- dect:— The dry goods trade of New York has undergone considerable cuange during the past few years. The jobvers’ trade of the interior cities 18 con- stantly competing for the smail retail trade that formerly tormed an important element in the trade that came to this city, aud every season we @ee fewer ‘“cross-road” buyers, their purchases now being made to avery large extent in the Jarger cities and towns of the interior. By making their selections nearer home they save considera- ble expense consequent upon a i-annual visit ‘to New York, and are also enabled to make their purchases in smaller lots, and to so gauge their stocks as to be leit with only a small surplus at the end of a season. Indeed, this system of buyin, gooas only as they are required 18 being practise more generally by all classes of buyers, and although much the saler plan, ‘it seems unsatis- factory to many of our merchants who be 18 accustomed years ago to the rush of a short season, during which puyers nes their supplies for @ hall year’s trade. Now the season is Vian 5 NY and the business is dragged through sever months, The package trade has been largely diverted from the jobbers here to the commission houses, where it now properly belongs, so that the general jobbing trade may not prove so Hberal this Taticstioen jobbers had anticipated. There are ications, however, that the aggregate business of this narket will be about up to expectations, Concerning the condition of the dry goods market the same paper says:—‘“The jobbing trade has improved considerably during the last week, and there is a fair aggregate distribution to the smaller retail trade. The heavy buyers have gen- erally returned to their homes, and the trade is now chiefly from the cross roads. Orders for goods to replenish the stocks purchased earlier in the season are coming in from the Western and South- ern jobbing trade, but the volume of basiness through this channel is not entirely satisfactory.” The subjomned statement gives a comparative statement of the IMPORTS OF Dity Goons, AND GENERAL MERCHAN- for tha nast week ani siuca January 1. Ik will pa seen that this tabie differs materially in its ex- hibit trom that we published on Saturday, show- ing the total imports for the eleven months ending | May 31, which, for the months ending May, 1874, Was $75,000,000 less than for the eleven months of the previous year. This statement since January 1 shows a falling off in imports of only a trife over $1,000,000, which would imply a very great revival in the foreign import trade this year. Of course it Will be borne in mind six of the eleven months Previously quoted covered the whole period of the Panic, COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF IMPORTS, DRY GOODS AND GENERAL MERCHANDISE, 1873, $2,862,116 5, i For the week— 1872.

The short incerest in the market has been the principal sustaining influence, a consideration being at times during the week paid for the use of gold. Foreign exchange was dull and weak, anticipat- ing the early presence of commercial bills drawn against the new crops. The specie movement hence appears to have stopped, the shipments last week, although small, being mostly of foreign spect: in transitu. The recent shipments of specie are stated to have paid but a mere trifle, and in some cases scarcely that, leaving the question of profitin doubt, This confident expectation of the foreign exchange and gold markets concerning future crop movements should be a warning to some of the prevalent croakers who see ruin in cheap food.

The decline ranged from % to 2% per cent, the latter being in Wabash, which seemed to be the point @appui for the bear ratd, the reported loss of earnings in it-being used argamentatively to ham- mer the rest of the railway list, notably, as hereto- fore pointed out, Lake Shore being a special object of attack. Outside of Wabash the decline ranged from % to 2 per cent, the principal dealings being in Western Union, Rock Island, Lake shore, Union Pacitic, Wabash, Pacific Mail, Northwest and St. Paul common. The recovery from the lowest point was only 3 to 4 percent. Quicksilver was higher and advanced 24 per cent in the common and 2% per cent in the preferred. In addition to the effort made to influence values through Wabash’s al- leged decadence the other adverse influences ope- rating upon the market were a large failure in the petroleum trade—Jonas Sanneborne & Co.—previ- ously reported; a decline in breadstuds, with the absurd theories already noted, and tne delay in rendering the Wisconsin decision.

Dun, Barlow & Co., commercial agents, | who have facilities for collecting data upon which to base a sound judgment, is of interest here:— It may be doubted if ever before in the history of this vast Continent there were more millions of dollars’ worth in the hands of producers than now. | This produce the world needs—nay, must bave— and in the process of exchacging it for money is the hope founded for a restored condition of trade. Since the panic of nearly @ year ago there has been little opportunity for ‘the putting out of money into general circulation. The uepression of railway interests, resulting irom their unwise ex- pansion, suddenly checked expenditures on this ac- count, while all other investments, and especially for building or for anything of a permanent char- acter, almost ceased. Money, therefore, accumo- lated at the great centres, and all the winter and spring and summer there has been a plethora of. money in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Bal- timore, while in other cities it has been scarce, and in almost all country localities almost impos- sible to obtain. The consequence has been small remittances from country merchants, equally dim- cult payments in their turn from \ovbers! thus causing a severe strain upon the resources of im- porters and manufacturers, But if ever relief was bala from any pressure it isnow; the abun- lance that the earth has produced is not Ch cer- tainly secured, but it is so universally di sd, will need to be gathered trom so many hands, and from such varied sections of the country that lit- eral streams of currency will be set in motion all over the land, which ought soon to give ease in money and restore business m merchandise to its normal condition. While there are nu- merous interests that will feel the influence of this free circulation of money there are many de- Partments of commerce that it wiil take longer time and more iavoring circumstances to revive. Excesses of all kinds must ve attoned sor, whetner in the he ee of railways, the building of Seuaaean bo Fa ibet ie Rees and wfacture of tron, lumber or any other sym: tom of over-trading. It will take more ian " Year, and that of restricted trade, more than one crop, abundant though it be, to restore the equi- librium of supply ana demand for things that the people can aud will do without. But tor the re- Vival of legitimate trade and profit in merchan- dise, for the filling of the wants of consumers, great faith may peerene ty. be placed in the movement of the crops. It take some months to accom- all that is hoped ior in this movement, for bundance of the product may retard ation.

SaTURDAY, August 29—6 P. M, There was a good deal of irregularity in com. | Mercial circies last week, and valucs were more fluctuating and uncertain than ever. ‘There was less speculative feeling, though in some of the fa- vorite speculative commodities a large business ‘was done at constantly varying prices, As a rule, however, there were fewer speculative ventures than usual, while legitimate business was corre- spondingly neglected and comparatively few com- modities sold witn anything like the {freedom of active seasons. ‘There was in many cases a fur- ther shrinkage of values, which augurs unfavora- bly for the fall trade, as the merchandise markets should rule firm about the 1st of September, if at any stage oi the /all season. Toward the latter part of the week there was some little improvement both as to the tone of the markets and the volume of business, though at no time was there any generally active movements. Breadstuffs were dull and heavy during the first half of the week, but the markets subse- quently improved somewhat, though prices were con- siderably lower at the close than at the commencement of the week. Corn was without decided change, though | business was Only moderate. Provisions were ccm- paratively quiet, dectining during the first part of the week, but more active and advancing toward the close. On Saturday flour was in falr request, and steadior in value. Wheat was moderately active, and advanced from le. a 20, per bushel. Corn was in good demand for export, and advanced fully lc. per bushel. Oats met with a fair local trade, steady. Pork and lard were quict andensier. Groceries were steady and quiet, with the exception of sugar, which met with a fair trade. Cotton was quiet and un, changed for “spot.” while futures were lower, and active at the decline. Freignts were quiet and steady.

The Fentaa Convention remained in session from seven o'clock P.M. on Saturday, to nine o'clock yesterday morning, without any recess or inter- ruption, The consideration oi the draft of anew constitution occupied them during the latter part of the night and most of the morning, and it 1s be- lieved by many ol the delegates that tie one adopted is such as will, 1p all probability, be leit without change or amendment for several years, This will be the means of no inconsiderable saving of time | and money, and some of tne irrepressible law- makers will be deprived for some time of the pleas- ure of looking at the emanations of their own genius in print, It will also give the votaries of the cause more opportunity of taking some | Practical steps for its advancement, aud Telleve them to some extent trom the endiess boring inflicted on them bya set of “orators,” who love to display their adroitness in parila- Mentary tactics by important motions about nothing m particular, “points of order? and learned quotations trom Cushing, whose manual | they generally have by rote, without bothering | much about the meaning or application.

Bourke, Jonu Lysaght, George Smith, Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa, John Driscoll (Boston), Jonn Barry, Wiliam Mackey Lomasney and John O'Sullivan, of Chicago, All these names are pretty well known from their connection with the movement in the past, either here or in Ireland, and the characters of most | of them will tend to restore to the brotherhood some Of the prestige it has lost. The Central Coun- cil will have control of the “Belmont Fund” if Mr. O’Mahony succeeds in obtaining possession of it, | and trom the character and standing of the mem- bers it 1s pretty certain that the chance of having any portion of it squandered im newspaper or other speculations 1s entirely out of the question. A resolution was passed tothe effect that nothing ; in the constitution should stand in the way of a | union with any other Irish organization whose object is the freedom ot Ireland. ‘Tne name of the military organization was changed from “Legion ot St. Patrick” to “Irish Legion,” in order to re- move all appearances of a sectarian tendency. After a session of @ whole week the Convention adjourned sine die, The Central Council will soon hoid a meeting and arrange their programme tor the coming year, and a large public demonstration is spoken of as likey to take place in a lew weeks. CLOSE OF THE FENIAN PECULIAR CASE OF LOCKED JAW. A Laboring Man Suddenly Stricken Down—No Apparent Origin of the Disease. . The disease of locked jaw is common enough in the practice of nearly every physician, but the following case is so peculiar in its main features that a recital of the circumstances will be found of | more than ordinary interest:—On Thursday last Heinrich Ellenberger, a carpenter by trade, while at home for his dinner at noon, noticed that it was only with dificulty he could open his mouth to Masticate his food. He thought nothing of it at the time and finished the meal. In the evening, after the conclusion of his day’s labor, he tried to eat some soup, but found it impossible to insert the spoon in his mouth. | ‘he soup was poured into a cup finally, | and he succeeded tn swallowing it, but he was un- | able to eat meat or any solid food. All night long he suffered from shooting pains and occasional convulsions, but it was not thought necessary to summon a physician, By noon of Fiiday the pain and the difiiculty in eating had increased to such an extent that he was sent tost. Francis’ Hospital, in Filth street, between avenues B and ©. During allof tbls time he had not lost consciousness, and on his arrival at the hospital he stated to the phy- sician in attendance tnat he could not remember petty been cut or hurt at any time, not even in the slightest degree. A careful examination was made, but not a mark of any kind could be found ; to which the origin of the disease could | be traced. This fact, as well as the acute and sudden manner of the attack, with- out any remonitory symptoms whatever, constitute the peculiar features of the case. Pirogo®, the eminent Russian surgeon who ac- | companied the Russian army through the Crimean | War, mentions only eight cases in ali bis practice. | Larrey, surgeon to Napoleon L., who accompanied the Emperor throughout all of the Napoleonic campaigns, Mentions several cases parallel to the above, but they did not all come’ under his per- sonal observation. Indeed, so rarely does a case of this kind occur that in all the hospitals of New York, where thousands of patients are constantly being treated, it 1s not once in a year that a case like the above 1s developed. When the reporter visited the hospital yesterday the patient was lying on his cot, his wife being in attendanc ‘The muscies of his face, particulariy tho: used in masticating food, were stiff and hard, | as were also the muscles o! the back and ab- | domen. At the request of the physician he en- deavored to open his mouth, but the effort caused @ spasm Which seemed to make his whole trame vibrate. His body and limbs were rigid, so much 80 that in liiting him it was like raising a log of | wood. One or two of his lower teeth have been fractured, and through this orifice a tube is in- serted and liquid nourishment administered. The treatment adopted is warm baths, in which the patient remains an hour. Chloroiorm is then ad- ministered, and under its influence the muscles relax. His condition is considered dangerous, but | not hopeless. The uniortunate man nas a wife | and five children dependent upon tim. He ts said to be strictly sober and industrious and has always | enjoyed the best of health. NILSSON'S EARRINGS. Implication of a Nobby Young Man With the Robbery of Leeb’s House— His Papa and Mamma in Great Dis- tre as. [From the Chicago Post and Mall.) A story has come to light which sets three de- tectives, a police captain and a police justice in A PECULIAR LIGHT, and which demands an investigation. These are Flynn, Flannagan and Chapin, Ellis, the Police Cap- tain, and Scully, the Justice. The house of Henry Leeb, a merchant of this city, on Aberdeen street, ‘was robbed on the 3ist of last month, while the family was absent, and among the things stolen were one pair diamond earrings (a present irom Christine Nilsson), value $220; one plain pair, $10; watch chain and locket, $75; three shirt Studs, $18; one ring, $25; a silver orpament, $15; Mrs. Leeb’s watch chain and medallion, $50; a revolver and various articles of minor worth, ‘The goods were tracked to @ pawnshop on Clark street by Chapin, and, trom the description given him by one oi the detectives, Chapin picked up a good-looking young iellow, playing biiliards in Foley’s hall, and took him along. He calied him- sel Ben Bentiey. In his pocket was found A PAWN TICKET for the Christine Nilsson earrtngs. He had a yarn to account for this. He was taken to the pawn- broker, who recognized him as the youth who had awned the 8. From there he was locked up in @ cell at the Madison street station, under charge of Captain Eilis. That night it came to be known that the prisoner was the son of a Union Pacific Ratiroad director boarding at the Snerman House, and there was a great running to and {ro between the police station and the hotel by the young man’s papa and mamma, The next morn- ing he was brought beiore Justice Scully. A QUESTION OR TWO asked and an answer or two given, and he was by ee eld that there ts no doubt that the young | man bad a@ hand in the robbery of Mr. Leeb’s house, That he pawned the stolen gooas 18 cer+ tain beyond a doubt. He was found with the pea ticket and was recognized by the pawn- roker. in view of this the case is one of the most scandalous linaginable. Mr. Hesing’s paper, the Staats Zeitung, this morning says that Scully, Cap- tain Ellis and the detectives were “seen.” That is the term used for bribery, which means that the oung man’s freedom from punishment was Bougat with money by his rich relatives. How true this is it is not possible now to say, but THE FACTS in regard to the arrest and liveration are as here given; and an additional circumstance 18 that at the time none of the detectives had a word of in- ‘ formation concerning it yo glye to Vue reporters 9 Nearly every month the Judge of the Criminat Court sends tothe State Penitentiary at Joliet about twenty young men convicted of diferent branches of stealing. If brought before him and the charge proved, this railroad director's som would now be suffering the same punishment thas is meted out to THE POOR AND HUNGRY DEVILS, who are sent up with machine-like promplitede. It is a qnestion which the people have aright to kuow the answer of—“Why aid Justice Scully dis- charge that prisoner ¢” a MARRIAGES AND DEATHS. _ Married.
