The New York correspondent Of the Phila-
delphia Ledger, writing on the 18th inst,
says:
Everybody is fsking his neighbor to-day il
The s'ever kne II TO be 80 hot ?" The response
is usually in accordance with the feelings Of
the party interrogated- -''never'-but that is
scarcely correct, as the thermometer has on mt
day this summer touched 100 degrees. Last
season it reached that altitude more than
once.
Be that as it may, how ever, there's general
that It must he cooler tberetha here. All the
Flora Mac Fimsey's are gone, ana tbs Nc Tabs
and all the rest OF them are preparing tofollow.
Fifth avenue, Lexington avenue, Madison ave-
nue., and Murray Hill yesterday we're so deser.-
ed, that cannon tall might have trayersed
them without hitting anybody out OF doors.
While we are painting With heat, scarcely a
vessel arrives from Europe that does not tanta-
lize us with report OF passing icebergs, some
Of them OF immense slze, on the coast. Steam
ships Borussia, City Of Boston and Minnesota, 4,
all had observations of that kind. The latter,
at one time, was in close companionship with
several very ugly customers, and had to make
a long detour to get out OF their way.
The Battery, this afternoon, was occupied by
a large number Of Mormon immigrants just
arrived from the old country, under the super
vision OF brother OF Brigham Young, and
bound to Utah. A majority OF them have
start for Salt Lake at once. Nearly all of
them are from England and Wales.
There is some talk, in certain circles here,
about getting up third Presidential ticket,
TO be headed by Judge Chase; but I cannot
learn that it is encouraged by any prominent
politician, either Democrat or Republican. It Is
given out that Judge Chase is ready to endorse
the proceeding, but that is not believed. 1t is
said that the editor of weekly paper, anl the
talked Chase before the nomination Of Sey
mour, is the author of whatever really is in the
alleged third-party movement.
Further frauds in the shape of altered certif-
Gates were discovered in Wall-street on Satur-
day. The alterations have been done so artis-
ticaIly, that it is difficult to tell the spurious
from the genuine. The frauds embrace more
or less Fort Wayne, Michigan Southern, Rock
Island, Pittsburg, New York Central, Erie and
Pacific Mail. The aggregate is supposed to be
from $4,000 to 81, 600, 600; but the real extent
it is difficult to get at, as the brokers who have
been swindled naturally are disinclined to tell
the exact amount of their losses lest it might
impair their credit. The railroad companies
are also keeping very quiet in the matter.
Further altered certificates on Erie and
Pacific Mail were discovered this afternoon. 1t
is certainly very singular that the Board OF
Brokers have taken no official action in the
matter. The prevailing opinion In the street
is, the least they ought to do is to offer large
reward for the capture OF The guilty party or
parties.
The Orangemen are celebrating the battle q
Aughram in jones' Woods to-day. There is no
shooting, but plenty of picnicking.
No new developments in the bricklayer's e
strike, The bosses were in conference again
on Saturday afternoon, but did nothing except
to talk over prospects. Among the buildings
upon which labor is suspended is the st. Join g
Chapel enlargement, for which an appropria-
ton had been made by Trinity Vestry OF forty
thousand dollars. The contractor had en-
gagged to have it completed by the first Of Sep,
tember. AL employers and employed
alike-are watching with much interest the re.
suit of the eighthours' strike among: the coal
miners of Pennsylvania. and the dlspatehes
from Pottsville are read with eager interest.
There is but little activity in business CIR,
cles today, owing to the extreme sIltrlnees OF
the weather, and to the absence CT so many
leading merchants, bankers and brokers IN the
country. Money is in moderate demand at 4(9
per cent; discounts, 6@7.
An opinion is gaining ground that We snail
see more active market sooner than most
people anticipate. The heavy falling of in the
i:gal-tender reserves, as seen n last week
bank statement, indicates that the demands o.
the country for currency 10 move. its crops are
already beginning to be presented.
