KEEPING A WATCH ON MEXICO.

FEAR THAT THE POSTING OF MEXICAN TROOPS
ON TIRE BORDER MAY LEAD TO REVOLUTION
AND DISORDER.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, Oct 22.-The authorities here and
the officers along the Mexican border are watching
with interest for the result Of the movement of
Mexican regular forces toward the Rio Grande.
The officer in command declares that he comes to
the border solely to repress Indian and other raids
into American territory. Our authorities appre-
hensive that the quarterng of these regular troops
among the rather lawless population of the terri
tory adjoining the border may lead to revolution
and rising that will drive ont these troops and
cause such general disorder on both sides of the
lhe as TO compel our forces 10 interfere, 1t is q
significant fact that the best Republicans of Texas
do not desire war with Mexico.

HEAVY LOSSES TO THE NEw-YoRK DRY GOODS
1RADE-LIABLTIEs OF NEARLY $4,000 600
ABOUT $4,000 DUE TO MERCHANTS OF THIS
CITY-THE EFFECT ON THE HEw-YORK TRADE.
The failure of Dodd, Brown g. Co., the
largest dry goods house in st. Louis, excited
much attention in financial and trade circles
OF this city yesterday. Their liabilities
are estimated to be between S1,500,000
and 100000, with assets of about
$1,OOO,000. Their liabilities to merchants
in this city are about $75O,0OO. The
depression in trade caused by the yellow fever
in the South was one of the principal causes
of the failure.
