The trade movement was moderate, especially in
merchandise for immediate delivery. There was
rather more disposition to purchase contracts
ahead, but prices we're without material change.
At the Produce Exchange nour was In fair de-
mand and nrmer. Wheat was wanted to some
extent Tor export, and the earlier purchases were
at full prices, but the market subse-
quently became tame and closed some

but at the close the extreme prices could not be
realized, particularly as future sales were consider
ably below those now current Oats were also
frmer, under fair demand. Whiskey was quiet Pork
sold to extent for future delivery rather

WALL STREET,

In all the turbulent periods through which our
country has passed there never has been time
when Congress so completely as now ignored the
expressed will Of the people, discarded precedents
and turned its back upon the sagacious counsels
of the trained representatives or public sent-
ment. In the present instance the issue involved
Is the management OF that most delicate OF all
subjects, the interests OF commerce. Bank olcers,
Boards OF Trade, Governors and Legislatures have
uttered their words OF warning. Facts and figures
have been evolved, the force OF which. IL would
seem that nothing can galnsay; yet congressman,
obedtent only to the ignorant clamor OF constitu-
ents, II not to something worse in the shape OF
personal interest IN the manipuatons OF the stock
or real estate markets, have deliberately shut
their eyes to the tremendous evils which their
action viii surely entail dshonored the
nation and forsworn their pledges TO support
the constitution. II Is only little while ago that
the man Morton, who assumes to be the leader OF
the infationsts himself announced on the door OF
the United States Senate that I'VE have debased
and deprecated currency, not worth more than
seventy cents the dollar" This, he said, ''ies
at the foundation Of all our financial troubles and
Il believe the to begin is to begin at the founda-
ton and take some step directly In the direction
or a resumption Of specie payments. Let US say
to-day that we pledge the surplus gold and that
which shall accumulate this financial year and
the next to the redemption OF the legal tender
notes, and the very moment that declaration be-
comes q law, in my opinion, the premium on gold
win go down one-han." This Is the testimony Of
the leader.

abundance is awaiting investment IN legitimate

can drink, are recommended, with

sweetened with syrup. These not

The TrichIna.

That ''amusiDg little cuss," the
hSchia0 spi'ulis, is now marching
on without impediment through the
bowels OF the press and the muscu.
lar tissues Of the public. If all the
city and mail editors in the country,
says the st, Louis Globe, had sold
pork short, or newly embraced Ju-
daism, the zeal with hichthey are
warning their brother worms to
shun the flowing rasber, and advis-
ing them that total abstinence from
Bologna is the only ark Of safety
from dying the death Of llerod, the
excitement on this subject could not
be greater. As is usually the case
with newspaper sensations, the fun
damental fact is hardly the equal Of
the fuss made about it, and a few
words OF sensible advice will not be
amiss. buN
The subject naturally divides
itself into two parts. First, to avoid
tyichiaea spiralis There are two
ways of doing this--a, to eat no
pork at all; and, b, to eat none that
has not been sufficiently cooked. A
temperature of 1O6 degrees proves
fatal to the animal hence if meat
be properly boiled (which requires
that it be raised to 212 degrees) no
danger is to be apprehended.
Nearly all the reported cases were
attributable to eating pork hastily
prepared. for the table. M ai a9s

Electric Engine.

The Portland Bulletin gives the
following description ola new mo-
tive power bearing the above name,
the invention Of Messrs. J. M. SUIT
ton and Col. H. r. Leonard, Of
Portland. Says the paper referred
to: On an elevated platform be-
fore us was a driving wheel, about
y inches in diameter, revolving at
a rapid rate. There was no oimpell-
ing power visible. x ' Quietly the
inventor unloosed a screw, drew
out a piece OF wire, and the unseen
power was withdrawn--the magic
wheel was still. Examination
showed that inserted in and forming
a portion of tits outside surface were
several magnets, which in turn were
acted upon by powerful coils, two
Of which are stationed ON either
side, and SO arranged as to give an
attractive and repulsive force to the
revolving wheel. A powerful bat
terry supplies the electric fluid,
which on being attached sets the
wheel in motion, The invention, il
it proves successful, promises to be
of incalculable benefit to the world
at large, and a fortune to the in
ventor, The motive power has been
secured beyond a question, and the
only matter to be decided is the
volume of that power. The inven-
tor has sanguine hopes Of success,
and has no doubt Of its complete
running capacity. He proposes to
testit, in the course of a few weeks,
by endeayoring to run a screw pro-
peIler on the yacht OWL. which, it
it proves successful, will be as good
q test as the inventor desires. f'@
