of the evening of the 9th instant " The
money market is very abundantly supplied
with foreign capital at 495 per cent. in
addition to the large balances seeking enn-
ployment from bank and the customary
lenders. An immense business is going on

The Cincinnati Enquirer says of -four and
wheat, on the 7th instant:
There was fursber decline of 20 to Csc
per barrel in -four in New York to-day,
though this had very little impression Ga
our market The offerings are not large
and the millers declare they cannot manu-
facture it from wheat at present prices, and
sell below the rates now current. The de-
mand, however, is comparatively light,
and aside from the purchases which are
being made by the local dealers to supply
immediate wants there is nothing doing.
What margin there was between this and
the seaboard was entirely used up by the
decline which has taken place 10 New
York the past two days, and there is no
inclination to speculate The figures asked
are 81 5097 70 for superfne, So 25(98 rs
| for extra, and 50 50t99 IS for family,
though as high as $40 was in one or two
cases paid for choice brands of the latter.
Wheat was also lower in New York to-
day, though this had little or no impress
sion on this market. The receipts continue
light, and holders are still contending for
full rates, and succeed in obtaining them
for the few lots selling. The demand is
mainly from the millers, and they are
buying only with reference to Immediate
necessities, the decline East having caused
shippers to generally withdraw. No. /
red is in most cases held at 81 95(92, with
sales at both prices, the transactions being
chiefly at the inside figure. No. is held
at 81 60 Nothing Of Importance trans
pired in white Some sales we're made at

lucky, though the offerings are chiefly of
poor qualities, which are slow of sale.

MUGGINs AND HIS SARATOGA TINE
This racer, now of national fame by his
splendid performance at Saratoga, was
bred in the stables of the Hon. Bale Pey-
ton, Of Sumner. He was sired by Jack
Malone, and he by Lexington His dam
was Fannie McAlister, Of the Glencoe
blood.
The time made for the Saratoga cup, 4
min. 03 sec.-distance 2k miles-was, all
things considered, the best ever made in
this country. His grand sire Lexington's
4 miles in 7 min. 1873 seconds, carrying
weight for age, averaged q 7-16 seconds TO
the quarter Of mile. Brown Dicks cele-
brated time of 3 miles in min. % seconds,
with weight for age, was 273 seconds to
the quarter. Kentucky's two miles and
quarter last year, carrying weight for age,
was &c 7-g seconds to the quarter. Mug
gins two and quarter miles, NTH fourteen
pounds excess Of i0eight, was q seconds to
the quarter. Turfmen calculate that
pounds impedes speed at the rate Of sixty
yards in mile; consequently Muggins
lost one hundred and thiny-five yards in
the distance run. Without his extra weight
his gait at Saratoga on Thursday wonld
have scored him several seconds below any
recorded racing time in this country.

BURGLARY on CHURCH STREET-A
room at the Kendrick House, corner of
Church and McLemore streets, was entered
one night this week by burglar, who re-
lieVed the pocket-book of Major Marshall,
Bureau disbnrsing officer at this point, of
one hundred and ten dollars. Ten dollars
belonging to Mrs. Marshall was taken from
a drawer. The burglar took nothing from
any other part OF the house, and must have
entered the room by skeleton key, as the
door had been securely locked. No clue
could be obtained as to who the prowler
was and il is thought he must have ae-
complished his work by the use Of chloro-
form.
