FINANCIAL. '.-l
: The railroad stock market is somewhat
depressed by the general indisposition to
operate, and by the efforts of the 'fbears,"
who are reported to he under the necessity
Of purchasing to cover heavy import con-
tracts soon to mature. The steady decline
in gold produces some misgivings as TO the
prospects Of dividends, it bein expected
that with the reduction in the price of pro-
duee there must be diminuation in the
rata of freight .s-a
Government securities continue active.
Railroad bonds are active and prices are
rather frmsr. i
State bonds firm but httle doing.
The main feature in WAT street is fur
thor hesyy decline IN gold in consequence
Of turn in foreign exchange, and the sup
position Is that from the course of trade
they will run still more decidedly in our
favor. In the carly part of the dAy there
was much excitement but toward tha close
matters became more fair. The supply of
money continues to increase snd lenders
are more urgent than borrowers.
There is more demand for foreign ex-
change and sales are again firiner.

.l3 las eIs FoRPEDoEs, sc.
The Bureau of torpedoes and Internal
machines have obtained pictures of those
deadly missiles which we're captured
Among other devices were torptdees in
the shape and appearance of Jumps
of steamer coal, and SO perfect in
resemblance it would not be readily dis
tinguished from the genuine coal. The
existence of these infernal devices confirms
the belief that the steamer Snltana was de-
stroyed by torpedo being in her coal.
