NEW YORK, Jan. IS, 1876.
VIM. Corey, Cooperstown merchant
in 1870. thinking there might Dc
scarcity of grass seed, determined TO
corner the market. He borrowed OF
James B. Ogden of this city $5.632 to
buy seed in Chicago. He gave his
notes promising to pay seven per cent,
and. as he says, to give MIR. Ogden
share in the profits. The attempt to
corner failed, and Corey lost over
$4,000. Mr.. Ogden sued to recover
tina face of the notes in the Supreme
Court in Brooklyn last week, and the
defense was that of partnership, ID
which Ogdan was to receive share OF
the profits, and Corey claimed that he,
also. should share in the losses, urging
that the contract was usurious if it was
confined to the notes. The jury gave
Mr.. Ogden a verdict for the full
amount

Cuban Affairs.
A Washington special says Secretary
Fish yesterday communicated to the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
the note sent to European powers In
November concerning Cuban affairs.
The note recites the long duration OF
the struggle in Cuba, useless blood
shed and devastation, and apparent in
capability of Spain to quiet Cuba. 1t
also explains the delicate and difficult
position of the United States. 1t con-
tains the strongest assurance that this
Government does not want to annex
Cuba, as such step would be unde-
sirable and even calamitous; but war
raging upon our border could not but
disturb as and put us to Inconvenience.
1t was suggested that if European pow
ers felt inclined, they would do wisely
to represent to Spain their own opin-
ion of the situation, and necessity Of
taking practicable and positive meas
ures for the paci6cation of Cuba. Our
Ministers were instructed to read this
note to foreign Ministers of Great Brit
ain, Germany, France. Russia aud Aus
tria. The responses of these Govern
ments have been received. They ac-
knowledge the entire justice of the AM
erican note. Austria declines to take
any part in the presentations that
may be made to Spain. All the others
proposed to instruct their represe nts-
tives in Madrid at once.
