Der of cash subscribers for his paper while in
thi city. He also wrote life of Rev. Arthur

In New York the market has decidedly an easier
tone, and though considerable stock is being taken
for consumption, in most cases a concession from
rates generally named is obtained. The changed
condition OF affairs is due to the indifference shown
by buyers, and to the fact that supplies are now
abundant and that holders are DESTROYS of UNI
loading.
In Philadelphia the heavy receipts noted last week
still continue and stocks in the hands of dealers are
beginning to accumulate. Trade is less active, the
local manufacturers being temporarily supplied but
holders are as firm in their views, as the
condition of the dry goods market, prospective en-
courages them to hold for full market values The

THE BIDDEFORD SENSATION.
The Savings Bank in Good Con-
dition.
The National Bank Likely to Suffer
Serious Loss.
Especial Despatch to the Press.

BIDDEFoRD, July 16.-The condition of the
Biddeford Savings and the Biddeford National
banks still occupies large share of public
attention. Bank Examiner Titcomb has par
TALLY completed his examination of the former
and to-day made the following report:
To the Trustees of the Bddeford Savings
Bank;
Gentlemen-Having been called upon since
the death of the late President and of the
Treasurer of said bank, TO make an exainina-
ton of its affairs, L an enabled to make a
partial report, and to state that all the notes,
bonds and securities called for by the books of
the bank amounting to S499 G02 01 at the value
entered upon the books of the bank, have
been found in the safe Of the bank and in the
Safety Deposit Vaults, Portland except $40 in
the amount of the notes, which | am informed
is an error of long standing, and that the cash

Such further examinations will he made as
seem necessary and valuation put upon the
securities so as to ascertain the present stand
ing and condition of the bank, as soon as
practicable.
JOS. TITcoMB, Bank Examiner.
Biddeford, July 16, 1879.
The general opinion is that the Savings
Bank will turn out to be all right, with this
exception, that it may suffer loss on the 325
shares of stock amounting to S32, 500 whch it
holds on the Bddeford National Bank
There is reason to believe that the affairs of
the latter bank will now be found in so favor
able condition. That very large loans have
been made by this bank to Mr. Joseph Hobson
is undoubtedly fact These loans are said to
amount to $150000 The security is largely
timber lands the value of which it is difficult
to estimate. While no fraudulent intent
is charged upon either Mr.. Haines or Mr.
Chapman, there is no doubt that they fur
nished much larger sums of money to Mr..
Hobson than was justifable under the circum.
stances. Mr.. Humphreys, the Examiner, has
not'yet concluded his investigation, but it can
be safely predicted that the condition of the
bank will not be found so satisfactory as could
be wished, or as was anticipated a few days
ago. There is pretty general conviction that
the banks transactions with Mr.. Hobson will
result i'll serious loss. Mr.. Hobson's deal
ings with the bank have extended over a long
series of years, and their details cannot be
obtained at present He owns large amount
of timber land (some 5000 acres) but such
property, as is we'll known, does not furnish
the best kind of security.
