The Won Arninl 4 flair.

LONDON, Oct. S.-Count Won Arnim had
an interview with his son, Government ottcl-
al. Yesterday. In the course OF the cOnVcrsa-
ton the Coun; protested against the iusinuatlon
that he had published or intended to publish
auy of the documents retained by him. he
asserts that there were no State secrets contain
ed 10 the papers He also said that he noticed
in the spring that there was deficiency in the
documents belonging to the archives OF the
Paris Embassy.
The Journal de Paris says that Count Won
Arnin, when Ambassa dor at Paris, FASTENED
the downfall OF President Theirs, and urged
Germany to recognize the Government OF Mac
Mahon immediately Prince Bismack disap-
proved this course of Won Arnim, and wrote to
The latter explaining the reason why he prefer
red the policy of Theirs to that of MacMahon.
The Journal says these are the letters of Bis
marck which are missing.
ROME, Oct. S.-Thc Voce Della Verita says
in relation to Won Arnim's arrest that there is
also reason to believe that the missing documents
relate to the establishment of new Government
in France, and to German interference in Span
ish affairs.

yesterday says the stage coach coming from
Brookstou was stopped by three masked men
last night, four miles west of there, and the
passengers robbed. The robbers secured 1925
10 money, two valuable gold and two silver

tanning $4,000, fine gold watch and chain and

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

In monetary affairs shore are no features Of
special interest. Gold and Foreign Exchange
were lower at New York yesterday, owing to
the more favorable condition of the London
money market. Stocks were firm and higher,
with moderately active business until after the
second call, when prices declined rapidly and
closed at the lowest of the day. Money was
plenty, and rates remain easy. Government Sc
curities were quiet, and quotations were about
steady. Money here is in abundant supply for
legitimate business purposes. The Baltimore
American says the absence of speculation gives
the various markets quiet look, but there is
undoubtedly healthy and legitimate business
doing on q strong conservative basis, and the
feeling generally in the community is cheerful
and confident, if not buoyant State stocks are
quiet Virginia consols are wanted at 53!, but
few arc offered; peeers are held at As, with az!
bid, and detached coupons are offered at SG!
Railroad securities are quiet, and we have only
to note sales of $1,000 o., A. s. NJ IS at So Cor
poraton of Alexandria stock is steady, but we

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1874.

The recent business failures in New York
create some upeasiness. The trade suspensions
within the past four weeks amount to nearly
So 25O. 900. Dizziness in trade aud decline in
prices have contributed to cause these suspen-
sions. Three firms, whose liabilities are esti-
mated at 81, $50, 200, have been losers through
speculatious not connected with the regular
business. 1t is not, however, though, says the
Baltimore Sun, that these failures reveal any
renewed weakness in the conditions of trade
credit at large, and it is gratifying that 80 few
shipwrecks have occurred among those who DO
q legitimate business.
