STATE OF TRADE IN CH1cAGo.-The RepuJ-
lic0n of Saturday says: There is dullness and
general apathy in business existing which has
not, to the same extent, characterized our
market before for some time past. 1t is i'm
mediately owing, perhaps, to the condition of
the weather, which has been unusually mild
for several days past, thus preventing the ap-
parent necessity of securing winter stores.-
Trade, however, is more particularly affected
by the stringency Of the money market, both
here and at the East, as well as the uncertainty
as to the action Congress may take with regard
to the currency now afoat. Dealers, large
and small, in view of this, move cautiously in
their operations, while those who already have
heavy stocks on hand seem disposed to get rid
of them even at some concessions. Until.
therefore, the great arbiter of the destinies OF
trade, w-making Congress, shall take some
definite action with respect to the financial
condition of the country, prices will be IT.
regular, and the machinery of business trans
actions remain more OR less clogged with un,
certainty and doubt.

which time she has been around the world sinking,
burning destroying and bonding American vessels.
Among her last acts the destruction of our North
western coast whaling fleet. Some months ago she
was outlawed, and now has the audacity to seek an
asylum under the protection of the flag which aided

place herself beyond the reach of Federal cruisers
The Sea King was built at Glasgow in October
1863 and was registered as the property Of William
Wallace, banker of London, and Others, her regis

as an ordinary merchant vessel at London for Bonn
In the meantime. another vessel, called the Laurel
and owned by enry LafOne, Of Liverpool taking
on board all the necessary armament stores &C..
several rebel officers, and large number Of men. On
the same day that the Sea King sailed from London
for Bombay, the Laurel sailed from Liverpool for
there proceeded i'll company to an island near by and
there, within Portuguese waters, the armament and
men speedily transferred from the Laurel to the
Sea King, both vessels being still under the British
flag. The Sea King was then renamed the Shenan-
doah, hoisted the rebel flag, and set forth on her
pratical cruise. Her armament consisted of six guns
viz; four 68-p0unders and two 32pOunderS, with %
full crew of British sailors
The first heard of her after she left Madeira was
that she had destroyed few vessels in the neghbor-
hood of the Island of st. Helena Her next perform

Sunds She next made her appearance in the port
of Melbourne Australia, and was coaled provisoned
and received reinforcements Of men, strictly in
cOrdance with British RcWrnfiLy After remaining
there for some time, she started anew her career
of devastation.
The next hear of the pirate is. that she is in the
Arctic Ocean, capturing destroying and bonding the
vessels composing our whaling feet. From the be-
ginning of April to the end of June hedesroyed and
bonded twenty nine vessels, thus entirely breaking p
the whaling in that quarter. We append list

cause Waddell. wanted to get rid Of his prisoners.
The war having by this time been brought to close,
Waddel was soon informed of the fact, but he af-
fected not believe this was not to his interest
to do so. but he still continued his plunder and wan
ton destruction of the property of American citizens
The British Government were at last compelled to
dispatch vessel to put stop to the ravages of the
pirate. For the month or so her movements have
been shrouded in mystery, and the next we hear of
her is in the port of Liverpool. Her entire history is
a fine commentary on the manner in which the aeu-
does not take decisive stand in the matter.
