THE MISSING PISTOL.
The weapon with which the deed was COM
mitted not having been found upon either of
the parties present, nor IN the vicinity OF the
homicide, the police set themselves the task of
ascertaining its whereabouts. 1t was noticed
that soon after the crowd began to gather one
person left II and walked rapidly away, gong
down 9th street, and on inquiry, Lieut.. Kelly
and others found a man by the name of L. S
Chadwell, who stated that he was at the side
door of Bunker's Hotel a few moments after
the shot was fired. and a man ran down 9th
street towards the canal. The man was asked
what was the matter. and replied man had
beep shot" Lieut.. Kelley got from Chadwell
description of the party. and took him co.
into Dubant's eating saloon. when he pointed
out young man named James CASSIDY as the
party, and he was thereupon taken in custody.
To-day Justice Harper called up the
case. when Chadwell testified to a description
of the man. but said that he could not identify
him. Anna Kelly, a girl who was talking with
Chadwell at the time, testified to the same
effect, but could not identify the man. Mr.
Gilman Kirby, =. T.. Baldwin, and James Bur-

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,

The characteristics of the New York money
market for tue past week have been the very
low rate of Interest charged on call loans, the
absence of any marked speculative feeling on
the Stock Exchange. and the very large trans
actions in Government securities. Govern
ment bonds, for the time being are absorbing
the attention Of investors and spectators, and
the opinion generally prevails that prices are
going much highir. There is hardly doubt
that this opinion is we'll founded, for it is
certain that there will be no increase of
bonds, while the demand for them from
Europe. particularly from Germany. is
constantly growing larger, while the prospects
of an addition TO our ereenbacks to the extent
Of near fifty millions of dollars, and the diff
Guilty of employing the aecumulating balance
in the New York banks at a better rate than 3
10 four per cent, make eur 7-3Os and 5-20's the
cheapest securities to be obtained al their pres
ent rates. 1t is supposed that the largest busi-
ness ever done in Government bonds in any
one week was transacted there the past week
1t Il understood that Que firm alone, that of
Fisk Hatch, bought and sold over thirty two
millions of dollars in Government bonds, max
ing their transactions for a fortnight to exceed
NSS.lfllNN.

The amount of transactions in domestic goods
Tor the past week has been very small: and
although prices have not materially changed
since our last report. any large orders would
have been encouraged by a willingness to m AXE
concessions in certain leading articles which
have remained stationary. Brown shertir q,
and shIrtings are dull, but firmly held at quot
ed prices. The state Of the cotton marke, does
not render manufacturers anxious to force
sales. Bleached goods are moderately active
only, sales being confined manly to the stan
daId makes, of which there is no oypr.supply
pressing on the market. In medium grades
there l. still less dong. and prices have ten
al IS ct. and Wamsut Al bring - cts There
Is fair demand for drills. Canton fanneIs
are very quiet, the better makes are held al the
highest rates, but the seas on is not favorable TO
large sales. Corset jeans are in fair demand at
unchanged prices. Stripes and ticks sell slow
Iy- bat prices remain un Unchanged. Denims and
cotionades are Ia pretty good demand for heavy
grades but the light weights are very little in
quired for.
Printing cloths partske Of the general dull
ness. particularly for gray cloths, of which
the sales are extremely limited. In prints there
mas been q slignt Improvement during the
week; and, while the manufacturers agents
and the large Iobbing houses show a disposi-
ton 10 work of their stocks Of light Summer
styles, the dark styles, more suitable for Fall
are more irmly held. For printed lawns there
has been an improved demand. and the season
for this style OF goods may now be considered
al Its height. Rolled laconets and cambrics are
in rather better demand, but prices remain un.
changed Muslin de laines are inactive. Only
the better class are in demand, but prices are
without material change. Italian cloths sell
moderately, but prices are firm. Mohair braids
are making permanent market and are in
steady demand, with slightly increased rates
There is an improved look Tor woolens Of all
KINDS; the heavy accumulations Of the past
three or four years are pretty we'll cleared out
ard the new stock and new styles command
more attention and better prices. There is
far business doing in clothes, particularly for
choice shades of blue. brown and dahlia colors
which are in much better demand than bla ks
The season tor fancy cassimeres and satinets is
nearly ended, and the demand is not SO good
as for heavy styles for Fall wear. In foreign
goods the business of the week has been limited
and the acction sales light, though the lighter
tissues of Summer goods of new STYLES have
sold freely and at good prices. They are ex-
ceptonal instances, however. The importa-
lions Of the week have been very light and
Withdrawals from warehouse have been few
