HORSE AND CARRIAGE MARKET

NEW YORK, saturday Aug. 5, ISL.
The Horse market Of to-day showed no signs
of animation and like the business transacted throughout
this week lacked every element indicative OF speedy
change for the better.
limited demand for common work horses ana lew
transactions in low priced driving horses comprised al
m0sr ti6 Whole trade done during the week and u 80
add it, that there exists still steady call for very na
coach horses which FOR want OF stock continues to remain
unanswered we have completed the truthful picture ~
rbe present unsatisfactory condition OF the Newfork
Horse Market -. - -- Il
Tne horse and carriage auction mart only reflect the
dulness OF the general trade and Messrs Johnston
Van Tlsses sales which throu ghout the yearaverage
from 80 TO 90 head per week, for the first time, this
year. far behind that number.
In the Bulls Head market, railroad ana stage horses
sold $3.50 to $40 per head THIS Is the only cas Or
which at the present season an approximate market
value be given Horses OF better quality TWIN the
exception of very large stylish and high bred Ones whcn
command high fguresD offered at from 10 To 80 per
! cent lower than previous 10 the ftD or july.
For a very promising Hambletonlan colt foaeh only
n few weeks since owned by Mr.. John X Ben, SlyVp
were offered and refused. Turf Fietd dhd fGrp tnhks
this would have been HciSd Investment and we thlhk
| so TOO , ,-,. Ia. ,,..
The carriage trade during the week closing today was
of very moderate character but fair enough cohsuer
ing that we are say, between the Two active Seasons
TOO far advanced for telling demand Tor hghI "Orh

The narhess market is still active, particularly in
demand for fine work, and there is accumulation Of
stock at the manufacturers. Dealers report very fair
trade and those who combine manufacturing aud deal
doing excellent business. Among the latter
the firm OF c. MOseman & Bros has, since transferring
their establishment TO the new and extensive ware
rooms, No ia Chambcrsst been very successful, not
only by supplying the country trade with all and every
thing in the saddleIy line hut also manufacturers OF
fine harness. horse clothing, etc. Of which their stock on
hand is as largo as II Is manifold.

From Washington,



INTERNATIONAL MONEY ORDERS.
The postmaster general to-day received, from
the general post office at London, formal articles
of convention negotiated by DR.. Macdonald, of
the post office department, for the exchange of
postal money orders between the United States
and Great Britain. The convention is duly eX-
ecuted on the part Of the United Kingdom, and
now awaits execution by the postmaster general,
with the advice and consent of the president.
THE PLEAsANToN CASE.
The Boutwell, and Pleasanton difficulty con-
tnues to absorb more attention here than any
other subject though nothing has occurred
within the past few days to change the general
opinion in regard to it. Reports from Long
Branch, though vague IN nature, seem 10 indi-
cate that the president il not already, will soon
give Pleasanton to understand his resignation
would be acceptable Whether this will take
place without decisions of questions, which the
commissioner has submitted to the president, or
not, is not known, though it is rumored that
the president would prefer TO have the matter
settled without such a decision. In the mean
time, new candidates for Gen. Pleasant0n's posi-
Iion daily make their appearance. The report
has been circulated in certain circles that promi
nent Pennsylvania politicians intend to bring
forward new man, who, while he Will make
an efficient and energetic officer, will at the
same time WELD n powerful and political inttu-
ence in Pennsylvania. 1t is also stated that the
place has been offered to gentleman from the
western part of the state, and it is believed he
possesses the qualifications, but that he respect
fully declines to accept.
THE KUKLUX.
The l1ukluX investigating committee to-day
examined Judge A.. K. Wright, of Rome, Ga,
eX-member of both the United States and con-
federate congresses. He believed in the exist
ence of the kuklux organization, and said it
was originated for police purposes, to repress
disturbances, likely to grow out of dsorderly
conduct in negroes The latter had behaved
