He added: e water runs down from above into this lake, where it has an opportunity to become almost stationary, except in such weather as we have had recently, when there was a wastage at times over the dam of five feet in depth. ‘The tendency of all particles of solid matter is to drop to the bottom, and the water which runs into the lake in a muddy stream reaches the dam as clear as crystal.

Stocks a Trifle Firmer--The News from Abroad. GOLD 118 3-4 A 118 1-2. Money on Call 2 Per Cent—Foreign Exchange Firm—Government and Railway Bonds Steady, Watt Stree, Furay, August 20—6 P.M, Owing to somewhat more activity among the local ‘traders, and to the presence of a few Western orders to ‘Duy St Paul and Northwest, and to the probability that these roads have earned and will declare a dividend on thetr preferred stock, the market to-day was generally ‘Ormer, the strength of the securities above named ‘being communicated to others and making a better feeling than has been shown for several days. ° Still, it rwas apparent that brokers were satisfied with small ‘Profits and not content to take the chances of twenty- four hours before realizing their quarter or half per cent This willexplain why a decline folfowed the thighest prices of the day. The news from Europe was not without its effect in helping ‘tthe development of a higher market, but it ‘was contradictory in character and not sufficiently full of the kind of European war, which, for the sake of their pockets, our speculators would like to see. The principal transactions were in Lake Shore, of ‘which over 25,000 shares changed hands, at prices rang- dng from 6054 to 61%, the closing prices being in the meighborhood of 61 a 6134. It is understood thata mew schedule of passenger rates has been agreed upon ‘by agents of the Erie, New York Central, Pennsylvania ‘and Baltimore and Ohio railroads, to go inte effect on ‘Monday next, The new schedule of fares is on the Dass of $20 to Chicago, $25 to St. Louis and $36 to Omaha, Northwestern closed at 4234, after selling up ‘to 434, and the preferred at 57%, the highest prico having been 68 St. Paul common left off at 33% and the preferred at 64, the highest quotations having been 8844 and 64}; respectively. Rock Island fell off from 109% to 108%. Western ‘Union was steady at $43¢'a 8434, and Pacific Mail at 385% 28%. New York Central was sold*at 1047 a 105, and Union Pacine at 73, Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph de- clined from 21 to 20, ending at 204. Hannibal and St, Joseph was stronger and sold at 24% a2) 024% on favorable reports concerning the financial condition and prospects of the company since the termination of the railway war, It is officially announced by the treasurer of the company that the interest maturing September 1, 1875, on the eight per cent convertible bonds of tho Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad will be paid om the presentation of the proper coupons at the Bank of North America. Ohio and Mississippi was steady at 194 a 193f. Missouri Pacific ended at 4814. Erie sold at 15% 21554. Others changes are less important and will be found below.

THE FORKIGN MARKET, ‘The special despatches to the Zvening Telegram, which are now daily circulated at ten o'clock A, M. for the benefit of the business men of the city contain the fol- jowing ioe imformation:~. pox, August 26—2:50 P, M, It is gratifying to be able to report that at the opening of business this morning a much better feeling prevailed than chara terized the dealings of yesterday. In the any further rumors relative to European 7) ene growing out of the insurrection in the Turk! provinces, and the véry general feeling that diplomacy will be equal to the task’ of preventing such eaharione, a reaction has set in, Values of almost description have appreciated, and the falling off pa the prices of yesterday in most instances have been regained. Consols have improved in price 4 per cent. In the flurry of yesterday they’ went off to 944, but to-day they are quoted at 943{. United States government bonds have been rather erratic in regard to prices. In one or two in- stances they have receded a point and in others gained, but the balance on the total is in their favor, 4,998,916 416,205 nited ' States sixes of 1881 were the first of the American gov- ernment securities to respond to the improved feeling, and.an advance is recorded in their price of a clear }¢ cent. United States five-twenties of 1865 have fallen ack on “ee They are quoted to-day at 1064y, against 106% at theglose yesterday. What was lost ‘in five- twenties of Soot gained by the same bonds of 1867, ‘They are now quoter. at 1083. They closed yesterday at 108, having kept at the latter price for the inst threo days.’ A decline is noted 0x44 per cent in United States ten-forties. There has been Ae ‘prosmze to sell, how- ever, and it is difficult to account for the dee Asin the case of the old five-twenties, what was lost {n ten forties has been gained by United States fives (new). They are quoted now at 10514, against 10474 yesterday. American railway securities lead the van in the advance movement, and in every instance are qno- fo abe igher and in good demand. Erie Railway shares joyant, and have advanced 34 per cent. New York Central Railroad shares have also gone up 3s per cent. ‘The price now is 9844 against 93 at the close yesterday. Union Pacific sixes are quoted at 44 per cent higher, Union Pacific land grants are quoted at 914¢, an advance of % percent. Central Pacific sixes have also advanced 44 percent. Reading Railway shares have appreciated 4 per cent, and are now quoted at 504%. New York city sixes follow in the path marked out by the railway securities, and have advanced ' percent. They are now quoted at 106. Virginia State bonds, Gonacianted debt, are selling at 64, arise of 44 per cent The tone of the market is still improving, and a greater degree of strength in the dealings is perceptible. SECOND DESPATCH. Lonvon, August 20—4P. M. The reaction in favor of higher prices still continues, although culation has been less active, and toward the close co bakinews the market assumed a quiet tone. The feeling in financial and commercial circles tends toward increased confidence for the future of the market, The reason of this is that all babes tend to strengthen the belief that a settlement of the complications arising out of the Turkish insurrection will speedily be reached. Business is quiet for American railway securities, although they still retain the advance noted in my first espatch. UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT NONDS. In American government securities there have been no variations of any consequence, prices being mod- erately firm. ‘THR CLOSE OF THR MAI The market closed quiet and firm, KET. ‘Since the opening of business there have been no alterations in the quota- tions of any consequence, prices remaining stationary, Thursday Friday, Mag v. s. 5-20's of ison, U.S 10-49's U, 3. 6's (new) New York Central.

Private advices received in this city from London this P, M., and published by the United States European Agency, say that in case of trouble the chances are against the insurgents. Turkish securities have suffered most to-day, with a heavy downward tendency, It is further stated on the same authority that the refusal of Turkey to accept the advice of the European Powers to suspend hostilities is regarded in London with grave concern, Further intervention by the Powers in be- halt of peace is considered improbable. A despatch from Vienna is to the following effect:—The insurrec- tion in Servia is spreading rapidly. Large numbers of tho insurgents are passing into Bosnia. Larer.—The German, Austrian and Russian govern- ments have united in advising Turkey to suspend hos tilities against the ““Herzegs.””. This advice has been re. jected by the Porte, which is preparing to crush the in- surrection by force, It is not improbable that Greece may offer material aid to the insurgents, Despatches from other sources are somewhat contra- dictory, and favor the idea that the insurrection and its influences will be confined within its present limits, ‘Tho last London despatch through Kiernan’s agency As as follows:—Vive P.

[From the Evening Telegram.] The success of ‘the Telegram quotations’? has intro- duced a new feature into American journalism, It shows the growing value of the evening press in an ago of cables and wide-spreading telegraphs—an age of ex- citement and events. The true newspaper is that which records from hour to hour the transactions of the day, The evening journal is slowly taking the place of the morning newspapers in this, that its readers can learn in the afternoon what otherwise would be unknown until the next morning at break- fast. The value of this precedence in giv- ing the news is incalculable, Let us suppose ‘such an event as the fall of Sedan, the assassination of President Lincoln or any of thoso remarkable occur- rences which affect the fate of nations and in an hour change every money market in the world. If these events could only be known to the public through the morning papers they would be monopolizea by eager stock speculators, They could use the telegraph for their own business advantage, It is related that the head of the old house of Rothschild made a large sum of money by being able to know the result of the battle of Waterloo before any other merchants in London, ‘This he did by a system of trained carrier pigeons, who brought him the intelligence tyelye or twenty-four hours in advance of the slowly moving maila. The re- sult was that Rothschild was enabled so to arrange tho market that he made an immense profit, Such an achievement would be impossible now. The work of thevarrier pigeon is now done by the newspaper, Tho commercial people, the merchants, the dealers in stocks, the bankers and business men generally, are no longer at the mercy of rich houses like Rothschild’s. Whata Rothschild could do for his own personal gain the news- paper does for the general public, Such a work we are doing now.

Frupay, August 20—6 P, M. The backwardness of the fail trade is still the all- | absorbing theme of discussion in mercantile circles, and the fact that the ruling extremely low prices for certain descriptions of merchandise does not induce purchases to any extent occasions a@ great deal of surprise. But it is becoming moro and more apparent that nono of tho usual devices which are resorted to in order to attract custom are to prove of any avail this fall, or, at all events, they have not thus fur, What with the apprehensions engendered by & fluctuating currency, the extraordinary protractedness of the e2 state of inaction throuchous business marta aud the wae _ ber 1, certainty with regard to the extent to which the crops have been damaged by the heavy August rains, the public aro apparently reluctant to assume the risk of heavy purchases of anything beyond the actual necessaries of life. Specula- tion is nearly stopped, while legitimate business in many departments of trade ts almost at a stand. Tho recent heavy shipments of breadstuffs hence to Europe exerted a beneficial influence, but this has been checked toa great extent, and the transactions from day to day daring the past week have been comparatively small, though at steady prices. There has been no pressu wll, however, and during the greate of the week prices even favored the seller, Corn has m. more freely, an though there lar, falling to 4 low point, but, subsequently reacting and fin- proving iderably.
