The market contiDues-quiet but steady,

sufficient supply of funds in bank available

mercial sight at Il premium.
The business in gold checks was confined
to a few trifling sums for remittance by
some of the banks at "A D cent premiuLn.
The business in stocks is still confined
principally to Pneumatic Propelllng and
Louisiana levee shares. In the former.
sales were made as high as 50 70 for imme-
date delivery, but the market afterwards
dropped to S. 80, at which the last trans
actions were reported. We may remark,
however, that some operators reported 80
difficult to realize at the close. Louisiana
levee was said to have brought Sl2 early in
the day, but the closing rates were about

As provided in the charter of this institution no

already been subscribed, ten per cent on the same

all subsequent subscriptions at the time of sub.
scribing. Nc second instailnent will be due until
over $500 900 are subscribedsw there will be
due notice given for general meeting of stock

as may be suggested BY any of the members In
the meantime, there shall be no accumulation Of

ready secured but operations must of necessity, be
only to limited extent until the greater part of the

however, stockholders only eau be accommodated,
and outsiders not until there shall be surplus
funds, or until the wants of the stockholders are
provided for. Consequently, it behoeves all who
contemplate or desire the advantages and facili-
ues offered by this association, to become owners

Alleged Criminal CAPTURED.

LOUISVILLE, August 6.-The police this
evening captured DR.. Carl Crosse, at the
Indiana end of the great bridge, and brought
him to this city and lodged him in jail.
Crosse is the man whose wife died the other
day under his brutal treatment. Notwith-
standing it is pretty certain he was the
cause of her death, and the coroners jury
so declared it, it is feared that the evidence
will not be such that he can be convicted.
He had written friend in this city to col
lect some money and bring it to him at the
end Of the bridge, which letter was given to
2 detective, and led to his arrest. He bit
terly denies being the cause of his wife's
death, and says he was distracted by her
loss, and did not know what he was doing.

According to the Opesosesas Courier, there

AccOrdlng 10 the Opet0ftsds Courier, there
is progress in Calcasieu. The Courier says:
The police jury of Calcasieu recently de-
clared the following ferries in that parish,
on the dividing line between that parish and
ours, free, viz: the Leblanc and Lopez fer
RES, on the Mermento. and the Miller and
Chaumont ferries, on Bayou Nez-Pique.
Travellers, make a note of this. This action
OF the parish of Caleasieu might be initiated
to advantage by some more pretentious par
ishes. Here Isl for instance, our police
Jury granting the right of establishing fer
ries and toll-bridges in various parts Of the
parish. without thereby diminishing in the
least the parish taxes.

We are sorry to have to announce the adj

we learn that they have been seen on vari-
GUS plantations in different sections. AL
though they are not yet in sufficient
numbers to cause much damage, it is very
probable that in few weeks they viii
come out in force, particularly if the CON
slant daily showers of rain we have had for
the last ten or twelve days past continue
for any length of time.

New YORK, August 5.-An evening paper
publishes the report of an interview had by
Its correspondent writing from Kansas with
Senator Poneroy, in which the Senator de-
clares himself for the denomination of
Grant, and that his denomination is assured
from the new census apportionment, which
gives the Western States, whose undivided
support he will receive, the controlling in
fuence. The Democratic party was hope
lessly divided. He pronounces the labor
question, civil reform and franking priv
lege unmitigated humbugs and dead flies to
impracticable. 1t was mistake, he said,
to suppose the West would not support the
Republican party because of its adhesion to
the tariff, and that what the West de
manded was the adjustment of the tariff,
SO as to give fair proportion to home pro-
duction.
