THE FOREIGN MARKET
The late cable advices this evening show fur
ther decline in Erie, the closing quotation being
29X 80, which is sharp decline for the London
market from recent figures. Among the causes
for the weakness OF Erie is doubtless, the discov-
cry OF the fact that Of the payroll OF the Eastern
division for the month OF April, amounting to
about $3.50, oOo only $4,000 are said to have been
paid to date, and the employees are forced to sub
init to q heavy shave IN order to get their wages,
and are compelled to appeal to persons for the
purpose who make 1t regular business. At
least, this is prominent among the rea-
sons given by those who are supposed to
know whereof they speak. Other quot atoms were
as follows:-Consols for money, 93x; do. for &C.
