NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Events OF the week
in financial circles were not especially inn
portant in any quarter, The monetary situa-
tion was easier, particularly for call loans,
the rate ruling from ~ to 31s per cent. Gold
speculation was alternately weak and firm,
with 1907 and 10O2S as the two extremes.
Foreign exchange heavy and lower early in
the week, but subsequently became firm and
recovered the decline.
Government bonds were lower in the early
part of the week, partly in sympathy with
gold, but with q recovery in the gold market
assumed q strong tone, and the early decline
laneous speculation was firm at the opening,
with an advance Of 4 to "a in prices of some
stocks, but subsequently, under free pres
sure to sell, a break of u to 4 per cent fol-
lowed. Still later there was a recovery Of n
to 3 per cent, with Granger shares, Lake
Shore and coal stocks as the special features,
but the Improvement was not fully main
tanned at the close.

ViruEenCe of the Feverat Grenmda-Difsa'
Guilty ef Creating IL t%uccessfuhay-Ats
Most Marked characteristics.

GRENADA, Sept 14-It Is an admitted fact
that the disease which has decimated our city
is the most fatal type of yellow fever that
has ever visited our continent. 1t is .chaIac-
terized by an early suppression of urine
which invariably causes death, and which
cannot be relieved by any known remedy
although most potent diuretics are admlnis-
tered On the fifth and sixth day secondary
fever occurs which Is of malarial origin. The
failure Of the kidneys to act is due to lack
of nervous force, the centers supplying them
being exhausted and overpowered by yellow
gever. AS shown by tho person in all cases OF
death, the conjunctiva and skin assumes an
intensely yellow hue.
Opium, although given in smallest doses,
is universally fatal, causing. immediate sup
preston of urine. The fluid extract Of jabo-
randi, when used, is of the greatest service in
Inducing profuse perspiration and in remov,-
ing that annoying symptom, dry mouth and
tongue. The disease Is sometimes followed
by dysentery, which Is the result OF improper
nourishment. In great many cases other
symptoms develop.
It Is confessed that the medical profession
Is unable to check the disease. The patient
Is like ship at sea in a storm, all depending
upon the virulence of the disease and the en-
durance of his vital powers, the physician be-
ing like the pilot, guiding him in the most
favorable course.

NORTHERN SYMPATHY.

The following is an extract from q private
letter written by an old "Confed." now living
in New York city, to member Of our Cotton
Exchange:
NEW YORK, September 9, 1878.
Was more than delighted to get your letter
and to learn that your family are well. This
Is a fearful plague and has awakened the SYM
pathies Of the whole country.
The North is acting most magnificently ln
the way Of contributions. Everybody, high
and low, rich aud poor, gives something. The
police have placed the ballot boxes in all the
bar-roomS, hotels, postofices and all public
places.
No more bloody shirt businegs will be tried
by pothouse politicians hereafter; this shows
the people have risen in their might and
secuted after such terrible afIliction as this
fever. And Southerners must be good boys
and love the North for all the people here are
doing for them in their time OF need.

LONDON, Sept. 14.--A deputation OF sym
pathizers who visited the Fenian convicts,
Condor and Melody, at Portland Prison, re-
turned to London yesterday. They report
that the Governor has not yet received an
order for the release Of the prisoners, but he
informed the deputation that the government
had made very liberal allowances.
All expenses would be paid and both prison
ers had received plenty of pocket money.
The Deputy Governor spoke highly OF Con-
dons behavior. Condor told the deputation
he would like to see his friends in England
and Ireland, but was anxious not to infringe
In any way upon what the American Minis
ter, who visited him, had told him were the
conditions of his release.
He was besides, anxious to reach New
York to see his relations and thought it like
~ he would go thither straight from South
ampton. He feared his presence In London
OF Dublin might cause o demonstration
harmful to others.
Condor said he had suffered no prison pun
ishment, had conformed to the rules, acted
quietly, with seIf-respect, and never denied
his Fenianism. He had been employed at
roadmakiug.
Melody was much surprised to learn that
he would be required to reside outside of the
United Kingdom.

LONDON, Sept. 14.-The statements made in
tho dispatches respecting negotiations be-
tween Germany and the Vatican receive fresh
verification by ndvices from Berlin and Rome.
The understanding arrived at is exactly that
which has been stated. The Falk laws are
not to be formally repealed, but are not to be
enforced; the bishops may return, but with
out parade and without asking permission
and members Of religious orders are to return
as individuals and live together in communi-

the Vatican and the German government is
now said to be complete, or nearly so.
