The first two days Of the week under review
Witnessed continuance of the unsatisfactory
weak feeling prevalent for weeks past in the
grain markets. The advices from New York
and Liverpool were of an unsatisfactory tenor,
while the offerings of property both for mine-
date and for future delivery were quite large.
This especially the case with the offerings
OF wheat and corn for future delivery, operators
showing lack of confidence and general
desire to sell even at lower prices.
Numerous selling orders were received from
the interior while the stocks in store were large
and increasing. Shorts did not manifest any
special desire to provide for their contracts an
The result of this pressure to sell was
adeclne ofabout l6d$l c from the opening prices
on both wheat and corn. Wednesday, however,
the condition of affairs changed for tho better,
and since then the markets have ruled very firm,
with daily advance in values, until the decline
previously noted was not only recovered but an
additional advance Of about 111M1g4c all round.
The advices from New fork and Liverpool were
Of more favorable tenor shorts showed II
general desire to provide for their con-
tracts. and holders manifested more conf
dence in the trade and less desire
to force sales. and consequently large de-
crease in the offerings. The bulk Of the
trading il on local speculative account-seller
March and seller April being the favorite OPP
tons. The oats market seems TO be manpu-
lated, and "squeeze" this month tx among
the probabilities. Rye and barley rule quiet
and steady.

The TiIton-Beecher Trial.


THRTY-THRD DAY.-The day was one Of the
dullest since the trial began, being chiefly given
over to dry legal arguments, and scarcely
marked by noteworthy incident Tilton was
still on the witness stand The only new test-
mony of Importance offered was letter
from Mrs. Tlton to her husband.
dated July 4, 1871, in which she
prayed that he might not "need tic further
discipline OF being misled by good woman az
have been by a good man." The proceedings
were brought to a sudden and dramatic ter
minstion at o'clock in tho afternoon. One of
the jurors was seized with an epileptic fit and
was obliged to retire from the courtroom
wherepon Judge Nelson ordered al adjourn
ment.
THIRTY-FoURTH DAY-The sick juror having
recovered so far as to be able TO resume his
seat, the trial proceeded IA usual. The exami-
nation of Tilton was brought to a close, and
four additional witnesses sworn during the day.
namely: George A. Bell, deacon of Plymouth
Church, Joseph Richards, brother of Mrs.
Tilton Jeremiah =. Robinson, Moulton's bust
hess partner and William Marston Braisher
The latter testified to frequently seeing
Beecher on the stoop of the Tilton
mansion, once or twice very early in
the morning. Robinson testified to Beecher's
avowal of love for Moulton. Bells evidence re-
lated to certain interviews and meetings be-
tween the Plymouth deacons concerning the
scandal before it's publication. But by far tho
most important testimony was contributed by
the brother Of Mrs. nlton, who stated most re-
luctantly that he had seen his sister and Mr.
Beecher in situation which aroused in him
the most painful suspicious.
THIRTY-TITTH DAY.-Mn Francis ID. Moul-
ton was put upon the stand and gave some very
important evidence for the prosecution. The
witness testified that Beecher and Mrs Ylton
both confessed their "sn" to her, Beecher
taking the blame Of il OH himself and Elizabeth
as generously blaming herself for the whole
business that Beechor told her it was Of no
use for him to live any longer and that
he would take his life y that he
confessed to her his great love for Mrs. Tlton;
that Mrs. T. told her if the matter became pub
lie sle would sacrifice her husband and her
children rather than Mr.. Beecher y that Mrs.
T. told her that she could not live with Theo-
doro because he was continually reminding her
of the Elm she had committed. The cross
