New YORK, Jply 2O.-Baron Geralt,

The first recorded sale of gold in the
room was at Ia, after which the market
settled to 1918 a l2l34. At this point the
gold room relapsed into a state of lethargy,
presenting a calmness quite the contrast
with the great excitement of the past few
days. At this point lot of sensation re-
ports We're circulated. and the gold room
started on new career Of excitement.
Price worked up to l225s: market bid up
rapidly; business was not as large as usual.
During the afternoon there was a marked
absence of sensational kilograms from
Europe; the excitement subsidized materi-
ally, the price declining to 122, at which it
closed quiet.
Southern securities opened heavy and

noon there was a recovery in new Tennes-

The AstOr House Banquet.

This is what the New York Tribune, of
the fifteenth, says of the banquet to the
New Orleans tiremen at the AstOr House:
The visit of the New Orleans fremen to
thisci ty was terminated last night by "a ban
quet at the Astor House, given by the
Messrs. StetsOn, the proprie tors. The fire
men leave by the Erie railroad to-day at ten
A. NJ, and will stop at Elmira for a day or
two. They say they hope to have race
at Elmira. In fact they also say that, while
they have enjoyed themselves very much in
this city, they leave with the one regret that
they have not been able to get on a race
with our tiremen. Although New Orleans
is we'll supplied with modern improved
steam fire eng ines, our visiting friends are
apparently anxious to ''have Il race with the
obsolete apparatus with which big Nose
and Little Nose used to run.
The banquet given the tremen by tine
Stetsons last night was jovial finale to
their visit. Alex. Stetson presided, and at
his right and left sat Captains Diamond and
Swan. Among those present We're General
Adams, OF Mississippi (''Wirt Adams J.
Major Tracy, of New Orleans, Judge
Northrup, OF Philadelphia; Or. Phllo 5. s.
Shelton, and ex-Coroner Wildey, OF New
York, and Major Enos Runyon, United
States army. 1t may be assumed that the
Stetsons gave good dinner. The table
was well lighted, and was decorated by
numerous ornamental pieces. The tiremen
wore their red shirt uniform, and were
seated on the inner side Of the tables, while
opposite them were the other invited guests
in black. Speeches were made after the tables
were cleared, by Captains Diamond and
Swan. Judge NOrthrup, DR.. Shelton and
others. The speeches were of the jocular
tone adapted to the occasion-that is, Ger
tainly, a sufficiently high compliment to pay
them. After them came songs, jests, cheers
tigers" cheers and s. tigers y for the Stet..,
son boys singing of - Auld Lang. Syne,
cheers and tiger" for everybody, and
finally joining of hands and circling round
the room to the refrain of s. sampsamp," an
Intellectual effort to start Aud Lang Synee
again, and then a march out and down the
hall headed by Charles Stetson, hlliarously
singing Shoe Fly to the upreariouss

Our merchants might as well prepare
themselves for a lively competition with St.
Louis The following from the st. Louis
Republican, explains the necessity for this
preparation:
Captain w. b. Russell Informs us that the
Northern Texas railroad completed on the
first instant, ninety miles of road, running
from Vicksburg to Monroe, Louisiana, on
the Ouachita river, and since then the st.
Louis and Vicksburg packet line has closed
a contract with that road which enables
them to give through bills OF ladlng
from this city to Monroe. AS soon
as the water will permit, two
light draught boats will be placed on
the Ouachita, and through bills given to
Camden and other points. The region thus
reached. is one of the most productive in
Louisiana. and has heretofore obtained its
supplies from st. Louis via New Orleans,
paying AN extra profit to the factors at that
point upon provisions, -four, etc, which
should have gone direct from our packers
and millers, to the consuming market. The
success of the new route will, of course, de-
pend no less upon the cheapness with which
it carries freight. than upon its regularity
and saving in time. If it can combine all
these requisites st. Louis will be largely the
gamer, and should it fail in the first, the re-
source will remain of loading boats direct
for Camden and Monroe.
