FINANCIAL. MATTERS IN WALL STREET.
4 very blue day in financial and business
circles. Money was harder to get than ever,
even at the prevailing enormous rates of
interest. Think of call loans at S@9 per
cent. in gold currency, per cent, with
added commissions Of l16, IS, 3-l6, and
finally i per cent. on Government secu-
rites; on railway and other collaterals, Il,
i, and Is per cent, in addition to the
legal rate, currency.
The merchants are beginning to feel, and,
in some instances, to succumb to the squeeze
which exacts l0Gl2 per cent. for the best
commercial paper. The failure of the we'll
known house of L. & 3. Curtis, importers
Of British and Continental goods, is an
ncupced. They have been in the business
for nearly half century, and their misfor-
tune, therefore, creates sensation. Their
liabilities are not ascertained.
As usual Of late, during money crisis,
the spectacle was presented-in front of the
Stock Exchange--of a large number OF
brokers buying and selling greenbacks just
as they do fancy railway shares. A com
mon bid was 3-l6 of one per cent. for loans
until to morrow, but the asking rate in most
cases was I.-Ne,0 York Correspondence

Four PERSONS BADLY BURNED.-Yester
day morning another carbon oil horror was
added to the already fearful list. The
scene of the terrible accident to which We
refer was the residence Of Dir. Wells, on
Denny street, in South Wheeling. The wife
oil MIR. Wells, son about six years old, and
Mrs. Stewart Henderson, were in one Of the
rooms of the house. Near q table on which
was can partly filled with carbon oil,
stood cooking stove. While the ladies
were engaged about their duties the boy
was playing around the room, and in some
way jostled the table, throwing the csn
upon the stove. The oil coming in con-
tact with the hot iron, instantly ignited
and an explosion Immediately followed.
So violent was the conclusion produced
by it that the door of the room
was very considerably shattered. The
unfortunate persons were covered with the
burning oil, and their agonizing shrieks
quickly brought number of aeighbors to
their assistance-among Others another
Mrs. Wells, who occupied part Of the
same building, and sister-in-law of the first.
In her efforts to remove the burning clothes
from the victims Of this dire calamity she
was herself severely burned. Other par
ties sustained more or less injuries in at
tempting to subdue the flames. The per-

SEIZURE OF THE Books OF THE UNION
PACIFIC RAlLRoAD.-Neao York, April g.
A remarkable scene occurred to-day at the
Office of the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany, No. 20 NASSAU street. Under an Or
der of Judge Barnard, William M. Tweed,
Jr., (the receiver appointed by him. ap-
peared in the Office, accompanied by Sheriff
0'Brien's,deputies, and without other oppo-
sition than warning to leave, on pain of
being prosecuted civilly and criminally,
proceeded to break open the safe. The ope-
ration was finished about half-past four
o'clock, and what books were found were
taken before A. A. Redfeld, who appears
to have been appointed referee by Judge
Barnard several days ago.
The testimony of Mr.. futile, the assist
ent treasurer of the company, was partially
taken; and the books were then committed
to the charge of the receiver until to-mor-
row, when they will be carried before Judge
Barnard. With one exception, the books
thus obtained are about two years old the
newer one embracing portion of the trans
actions down to last December.

THE DUKE OF MoNTPENs1ER.-The Duke
of Montpensier, who, the cable saye, is to
be King of Spain, is the fifth son of Louis
Philippe, formerly King of the French.
He was born at Neuilly, near Paris, in
1924. His cunning father married him in
1876 to the Spanish Princess Louisa (the
sister of Queen Isabella II.), and at the
same time brought about the Queens mar
rage to her imbecile cousin, Francis, of
Assist. Louis Philippe supposed that this
would be a childless marriage, and that
the children of the Duke of Montpensier
would accordingly inherit the Spanish
throne. His calculation has proved erro-
neous in every way. He himself died in
exile; and for more than twenty years none
of his family have seen their native coun-
try. Isabella II. has a number of children,
and yet the old Kings principal end will
be essentially gained when Montpensier
himself puts on the crown of Spain, with
a reasonable chance, as things go, Of trans
hitting it to his posterity. The new King
will be known as Antonio /.

VIRGINIA LANDs.-Ths Experimental
Farm Journal, of Chambersburg, speaking
Of Virginia lands, makes the following just
remarks:
First-rate land by nature, though come
what damaged by improper cultivation, and
possessing magnificent advantages of eli
mate and location, are offered in Virginia
at prices which seem Insignificant, and yet
find no purchasers. The truth is, land is q
drug in the market. The climate is de-
lightful, the advantages for transportation
to market are nowhere surpassed, and the
soil is suited to the production of general
crops, and all kinds of fruit do well.
"The war impoverished almost every
person. Those who own land have nothing
else, and are compelled to sell 8 portion in
order to get means to cultivate the balance.
No finer opportunities have ever been
offered to young men with moderate means
to secure valuable farms than can be had
in Virginia to-day.
"The wild lands of the extreme West are
not half 80 attractive IS these, and nowhere
in the western States can improved lands
be bought at such low prices. We would
urge on all young men who contemplate
going West to study the superior advan-
tages of these Virginia lands first, and see
if they do not change their minds. There
is nothing wrong about them. The war
and the wonderful changes it wrought have
brought them into market. The owners of
them are urgently inviting northern people
to come among them and live with them.
There is no dislike of, and no hostility
towards, any industrious, enterprising man
from the North, and one seldom finds more
generous, hospitable people than are scat
tered through Virginia"
