FINANCIAL AHD ConMERCIAI.

So long a. Wall street continues to be treated
TO such rumors as have been current for the last
FEW days, q settled tone to the speculation can
not reasonably be expected. 1t Is now thought
by many that those stories are put afioat for the
purpose Of depressing stocks TO enable the hfth-
erto bears Of the market, who have, we are in
clined to think, covered freely of late, to take
In q fresh supply Of long stock. The business
in mercantile paper 10 very slow, and the trou-
BILE in the Warehouse company has been calcu-
lated to improve 1t. The best names command
high rates. The movement of currency west
vi ard seems to have partly halted; at least the
amounts going forward are Of considerably less
moment than heretofore.

a New YOrk Telegram to-day states chat Prof.

A New York telegram to-day states that Prof
Wise Is all In the dumps about the proposed
balloon trip, and IL Is quite evident he does not
Teopose to embark on the transatlantic voyage
In this he exhibits commendable prudence, but
at the same time he must expect that the
inquiry will be raised Why his doubts did not
come sooner. He finds fault at the last moment
with many OF the arrangements for the voyage,
but 1t would appear to the ordinary observer
that where the whole project is one of such
insane risk to life, It Is hardly worth while
splitting hairs as to the comparative advantage
or disadvantage Of this or that point OF detail.
The Messrs. GOodsell, proprietors Of the
Graphic, have spent shberal sum of money in
providing everything considered essential for
the experiment by the eronautic experts, and
the failure, If failure there be, cannot justly be
charged upon them. 1t will be remembered
that correspondent of The STAR who has
known Wise well, predicted some time ago that
his latest transatlantic flourish would end lust
as all the preceding ones did.

AT the monthly meeting yesterday Of the

At the monthly meeting yesterday of the
directors Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company, IL was stated by Vice President King
that sdvices had been received rom Presi-
dent Garrett, announcing the negotiation Of
100000 Of the eompany's six per cent. ster-
ling bonds, by Messrs. Barring, Brothers s.
Co., Of London, being the remainder of the
$1,000 900 authorized. The price obtained (96X)
was regarded as very satisfactory, especially in
view OF the general want OF success which had
recently attended negotiations of American
railway securities abroad. The loan was taken
In . single day, the offers being for more than
f2,0oosoo0 at the price named. The revenue of
the Baltimore and Ohio road and branches
including the Ohio divisions, for August, 1873,
amounted to 81 Al 5000, beng an increase of
SIS, 1882 as compared with August, 1872 The
revenue for the quarter ended 3ist August, 1873,
Tor Baltimore and Ohio railroad and branches,
including the Ohio divisions, was Ills ASH,
being an increase of s423 ,527 "a as compared
with the corresponding period of last year.

About the Hen.

The ouintessence Of tho omniverous
hog Is supposed TO be imaged In the
hen. but the hogis a Peabody among
animals alongside of a hen. Hens arc
by nature monopolists. When the sub
iect of yictuals Is mentioned they are
evidently listening. Throw q handful
OF corn into a ten-acre lot. and every
hen In the Enclosure will get a dab At
L. The last hen on the spot may not
bet more than two or three kernels,
But nothing In the hens appearance
will Indicate that. It will step around
with as much precision and gratitude
as any In the flock, and wear the most
pensiye smile you ever saw. A hen
will not eat everything IL sees, but will
try to, and there isn't n on the face
of this earth but can toll you the taste
of everything It has seen within the
radius Of half a mile Of Its house. 1t Is
only when a man has kicked at . hen
and missed 1t that he begins to under
stand how thoroughly hollow and de-
ceitful this world Is, and 1t ISIS mar
yelous fact In this connection that he
will miss the hen II he kicks at 1t and
misses It II he don't.-Danbury tCt.)

s We are informed by a gentleman
who came up on last nights stage
from this place, says the Eureka Senti-
ne, of Tuesday, that business there Is
uuprecedentedly dull. On the first Of
the present month, the force in the
mines was reduced ten OF twelve men,
and the night and day bosses In the
mill were suspended. The Superinten-
dent and assayer assuming the duties
Of these positions. The expenses OF
last months working Of the mines are
said to have exceeded the production
OF bullion BY $4,000. The company
are running q prospecting tunnel into
the hill, which It Is thought, will de-
termino whether any other bodies of
ore other than those nearly exhausted
exist within the limits of their claim.
This tunnel will reach a point porpen-
dicuiarly under the main shaft about
the LIST Of June, and If no develop
ments are made to warrant q continu-
ance of operations by that time, 1t Is
the intention Of the company to per-
manently suspend work.

FOSTER THE

It l. astonishing to all practical
minds to notice the extraordinary in
terest manifested In New York City
at the present time In the case OF
Foster, the yearbook murderer, and
the strenuous efforts being made to
save him from the gallows. It will
be r~ecoilscted that the crime for which
he 10 condemned was the deliberate
and brutal murder Of = citizen by the
name OF Putnam, under the following
circumstances: Putnam entered n
street car. accompanied BY two ladies.
one Of whom Foster grossly insulted.
Putnam came to her rescue, an alter
cation ensued. but neither came to
blows at the time. Foster, however,
watched his opportunity, followed his
victim to the rear Of the car, and, as
he was getting out, struck him on the
head with a heavy car-hook, following
ir with several blows, crushing in the
skull and producing, We believe, al
most instant death. The murder was
witnessed by . number Of persons,
and the fact Of the deed was not ques-
toned. Neither was the plea Of NOR
al, or instantaneous, or any kind Of In
sanity i~nterposed between the perpe-
traitor and the deed. Foster was tried,
convicted and sentenced to DO hanged,
and the sentence was generally ap-
proved as eminently jurt and richly
deserved.
Why 1t Is that such powerful efforts
are being made to save this cold
zbloodsd murderer from his righteous
doom, no one seems to be able to say,
but such Is the case. Money has been
and still is being freely used In his be-
half, and witnesses against him have
been approached with brides and
threats. Foster seems to have power
full relatives and friends, and they are
doing their very best to save him. They
argue that the killing was done In a
moment Of fierce anger, that Foster
was a good, exemplary sort OF MANI
and this one bad act of his life should
/, not be counted too heavily against
him, therefore petitions numerously
signed, have been freely circulated In
his behalf. Nearly all the leading
journals Of that section strongly insist
that the law shall take Its course, and
public opinion Of late inclines to have
equal and exact justice In this and all
other similar matters. Whether the
Governor will commute his sentence
to imprisonment for life, remains to be
SEEN.

Death Valley.

s. For several years the impression has
prevailed. founded upon tho statement
Of q man named Brsyfogle, that fabu-
lous deposits Of the precious metals ex-
listed In the mountains surrounding
what Is known as Death Valley, situa-
ted In Southeastern Nevada. Breyfogle
represented himself rs one Of the sur
vivors Of q company Of emlgrants who
were making their way across the
Plains In the Summer, We think. Of
'G2. Their stock having been stolen,
and many Of the party having been
killed by the Indians, he, with n
other man. In their efforts to elude the
pursuit OF the savages. wandered
through this section Of country, and
during their tramping discovered evil
dences Of very rich mines near Death
Valley. Breyfogle returned to the spot
some years later, and claims to have
been driven out by the Indiana not.
however, before he secured some ex-
ceedingly rich specimens Of gold and
silver bearing ores, which he exhibited
and which had 4 tendency to lend
FEASIBILITY to his previous statements.
Since that period several parties have
been fitted out and visited the district
without meeting with any success.
During the present Winter a party un-
der tho head Of JEFF. Standifer, an ex-
perienced woodstnan and prospeetor,
left Phoebe to explore the hidden
wealth OF this modern Golconda. but
1t seems they too are returning wiser II
not Weather men. They pronounce
the aspect Of Death Valley IS ev-
erything but cheering, being an arid,
desolats region, destitute Of timber
and every semblance Of vegetation.
and they denominate Breyfogle's FL
Dorado a myth Of the purest invention.
The party found placsrs in n of the
canyons which contained gold colors

out OF the question. We have never
had an abiding faith In the correctness
Of Breyfogle's story, and those late
developments do not tend 70 bolster

New Gold Discovery.

tive to the latest discovery Of new
diggings:
The discoveries have kept the mat
ter Quiet until within a few weeks, but
rs they are now on tho ground them
selves, there Is no further need Of Sc
crecy. The mines are situated.as near
as we can ascertain, southeast OF Raw
Inns Station. on the Union Pacific
Railroad, and between that place and
Denver. Gold has been exhibited as
coming from that vicinity, some OF
which is scattered through lava rock,
and If there Is much Of 1t, 1t will be q
.big thing" Some parties now In
this city are about to take their depar-
ture for the new field to-day, and are
quite sanguine Of making a raise; In
fact one Of them who claims to have
been there, describes 1t as a second
