FRIDAY, August 15-6 p. M.
THE MONEY MARKET.
Money to-day has been loanng at 2X per cent
on call. Time loans In currency are quoted at
per cent for 80 days, and per cent for 90 days,
1per cent for 90 days and 7 and per cent for all
the year. Gold loans on time are quoted at 7-16
u per cent for 30 days, Il u per cent for go days
and a per cent for 3 to months. Foreign
exchange was dull and lower. the actual business
being done at tosK 1885, for prime 60 day sterling
and 1895 for sight.
THE FOREIGN MARKET
The latest London quotations are indicative of a
strong and active market We note prices as fol-
lows:-Consols for money, 925s e2ax; consols for
account, OK o. 1916; nve-twenty bonds OF 1865
<old), 94X 95x; fve-twenty bonds Of 1857, o5k q
p6A; ten-forty bonds, 901S 901l. firm; new hves,
Of 9lH: Erie Railway shares, AK AK; Illinois
Central Railway shares, IS a SO.
1t will be observed that American securities are
gradually ascending in the scale Of credit, and now
possess a strength well calculated to elicit con.
1dence both at nome and abroad. Late reports
state that the amount of bullion which went into
the Bank OF England to-day on balances was f94OoO
The rate of discount for three months bills In open
market was only 1-16 below that OF the Bank.
IMPORTS
The imports Of dry goods for the week ending to.
day were s3,o76,6es and the general merchandise
Imports are estimated at S3,ooo.OOo, which would
make total Of s6,07e,e6s being $ooo,17s less than
last week. The amount Of dry goods marketed was
$s,o6o,5as.
THE GOLD MARKET
was the scene Of some animation to-day, in con-
sequence Of the purchase Of from eight to ten MIL
lions Of dollars by q certain broker, the result Of
which was prompt advance in the price to 116.
Should he demand the delivery OF this amount
tomorrow still further interest may be ELECTED.
It Is curious part OF the history Of this
gold movement that Of the $l,5Oo,ooo offered by
che government yesterday less than one half OF
the sum was TAKEN yot that in twenty-four hours
afterwards eight or ten millions should thus be
purchased at the Board by somebody's representa-
Give. The price opened ut lax, receded to 114X,
but after twelve O'Clock began to strengthen, ad-
vancnR, from causes already stated, to lis 114X.
The various prices Of the day are shown in the fol-
lowing table

WEST" the exceedingly sensational CORE

learning something about the labor organiza-

ment, says they hope to include in their mem
bership by 1875, seven-tenths of all the labor
Clements in the country, the professional pop
ulation being excluded. The objects of the
organization according to "West'' are al fol
lows: 'I gLod
First-To obtain control of the municinal
State and general governments. This thew
expect to accomplish in 1876.
Second-The Institution of an improved
form of Communism, under which monopo-
lies, professional politicians and "other evils
will find existence difficult. 14
b .Third-The overthrow of Speaker Blaine.
No particular reason is assigned for the deter
mination to eliminate Blaine.

Infanticide at SacO.

The Biddeford Times of Monday evening,
says:
Living in the family Of a gentleman on
North street, as serya Mt girl, is one Hannah
Littefeld, a married woman but her husband
had not lived with her for about two years. On
Friday evening she was out in town and ret urn
ing went to he'd about nine O'clock. Saturday
morning on being called her reply was that she
did not feel well, and the gentleman of the
house being very kindly disposed got some one
to come in and assist in the work of the house.
This assistant discovered the lifeless body of an
infant in the vault, and Immediately reported
the same. The proper officers were notified
and an examination shew the body to be that
of a fully developed male child Of about twelve
pounds weight Mrs. Littlefield was closely
questioned and finally acknowledged that she
left the child there at about twelve o'clock Fri
day night. The next important point to be de-
cided now presented itself. .'Was the child
alive when left in the vault?" The woman f.
naliy acknowledged that it was alive when she
left it there and that she heard 1t cry after she
had left the place! This caused shock of hor
ror to run over the listener at the inhumanity
of the mother
Coroner James M Burbank was called to
take charge Of the case, and Saturday afternoon
V. Jordan, Joseph Harday, f. w. Guptill,
Joseph Bradbury, Joseph S. Moody and T. T.
Brewster. to sit upon the case, and they return
ed a verdict that said infant was dropped into
the vault Dy f1aunan LtUJleu6Iu, on the morn
ing of May 18th, who then aud there abandon
ed said infant, and said infant thereupon died
in consequence of said exposure and abandon
ment.
The body was then given in charge of Joseph
Bradbury, Superintendent of Laurel Hill Gem
etery, for interment.
The law charges the coroner with the duty of
making an arrest of the party charged with the
crime, but as the woman was confined in the
mouse, and the grand jury convene at Alfred
tomorrow, Mr.. Burbank has concluded to lay
the matter Immediately before them and let
them take such action in the case as they may
deem advisable r t sgFf1Esrls ~
The next point for the coroner to find out
was the name of 9he father of the child The
woman on being questioned lay the burden at
the door of William Bowe 1t is we'll known
that Bowe is a married man and his arrest on
charge of adultery was ordered. The City
Marshal soon had the accused at the station
then another interesting matter was disclosed.
Bowe has two wives, having taken one only
last April. The last wife was on the premises,
and asked and obtained permission to stop Sat
urday in the station with her husband. For
him, with charges of adultery and 5igamy
hanging over his head, the future looks dark.
William Bowe was this afternoon taken be-
fore Judge Emery, waived an examination,
plead guilty to the charge Of adultery, and was
ordered to find sureties in the sum of $500 for
his appearance at the next term of the Su-
preme Judicial Court.
