WALL STREET,

DuLsRss.
Wall street was again very dull to-day There was
little speculative disposition the part OF the mass
OF dealers at the stock Exchange pending the cloud
.overhangng Europe. Late In the day there was
rather cheerful feeling owing the purchase by the
government of three millions Of bouds--a disburse-
ment OF the Treasury resources which was quite un.
expected by the street. but was Immediately taken
as an indication that the Secretary will use his
powers 30 far as consistent with his general duties,
to avert the usual fall srlngency OF the money mar

at New York the importers have entered into large

the Sub Treasury would certainly come out again at
very remote day should the exgencies OF legiti-
mate business require the Treasury Department TO
render It's programme symmetrical in the matter of
purchases OF bonds and sales OF gold. At the same
time the situation abroad was regarded as more
promising Of peace, and hence gold, which before
the Board sold as high as ll4'S, steadily declined TO

LOCAL NOTICES.
Editors Journal:

EDITORS journal.
GENTLEMEN The attention Of the
Henderson Fair Company has been
called TO a card published In your pa
per of the 18th inst. over the sigma
ture Of E. A. Weber & Co.
The Substance OF which was that
in our EIoral and Mechanical Hall,
at the late State Exhibition. the First
Premium on Hats and Furs, was
awarded to T. A. Weber u Co., of
Evansville. Ind, by the proper judges.
But Mr.. John Funk being member
OF the Executive Committee, being
dissatisfied, appointed a new commit
tee, who, at his instance aud request.
gave the premium to A. Marconpier.
of Evansville.
The statement is incorrect.
No ring was opened for hats or furs
at the Fair. The cases of hats and
furs belonging to each of the above
parties were permitted to be placed in
our Floral Hall as matter Of orna-
ment to it, and as an advertisement
for the manufacturers without any
charge. No committee was appointed
upon them by the Superintendent of
the Hall, until the one composed of
two merchants of your city, Dir. p.
Semonin and Mr.. Gumberts. and two
ladies of Henderson, who awarded a
blue ribbon as q compliment to A.
Marconnier.
It Is our desire to select. as Judges,
those best qualified for each class,
and with their award We never inter-
fere; but always deem it our duty to
them to sustain their decision BY
requiring of exhibitors respectful
acquiesence.
Because of the gross insult offered
to our worthy and honorable Director.
Mr.. John Funk, the Board of Direct
ors Of the Henderson Fair ComDanv
have unanimously resolved that they
decline in the future to permit Measrs
E. A. Weber & Co. TO exhibit anv
