New York. Oct. 18.--The second engi-
nPer Of the ill-fated Evening STAR who ar
rived In this city by the steamship Quaker
City from Charleston, Is crippled by the
privation he underwent. The two women
who escaped with him remain in Charles
ton In a deplorable condition. They were
five days In an open boat, without food or
water and without shred of clothing to
protect them from the storm. 1t is now said
TO be a fact that the Evening Star was in an
| insecure condition when she left this port.
The names of ID. Pritto and wife, Of New
Orleans, were omitted from the list of cabin
passengers lost on the steamer Evening
Star. ~

Financial.
New York, Oct. 18.-The Commercially
money article says: The stock market
shows rather more activity, with general.
ly firmer tone. At the morning Board there
was predominance of buyers, and the
leading stocks were generally higher, Hud-
son river. Illinois Central and Chicago
Alton being the chief exceptions. The mar.
ket shows hesitation for which it Is moi
easy to account. Governments are deci
dedly firmer. Old 5-20's sold st the Boart
at ia, and were subsequently sold at ll411s
to 1l434, ll43S being bid. Foreign Bank,
are buying freely of '62'ss but the supply
Is quite limited. Among dealers there is
disposition to hold bonds of 1862 back, in
anticipation that the proceeds OF the cou-
pons sent from abroad, amounting, proba'
bly,, to $7,000,000 in gold, will be chiefly in
vested In bonds. E 30
Money is rather unsettled. Some of the
Banks continue to lend freely at late rates
while others are holding for per cent, in
expectation Of a brisker demand for ac-
commodation. The better class ofborrow-
ers can get all they want at 4 per cent. oil
mixed securities, while others pay very
generally per cent. Discounts continue
steady at soc per cent. 9r0-ynrrg
