named In the transfer has not been made
public There rumors that the firm will at
early day still further dispose OF its interests but
nothing definite can be- learned to that. Both OF

much omment and various theories put ahoat

A private letter received in this city yesterday
from Bangkok. Siam. contains the following news of
interest to business men. "Of lata there has been
decided tendency OF merchants in Siam to give
preference to American manufactures, and in
the course OF the past week orders amount
ing to $4,000 were sent to New York and
Boston for goods to be shipped directly
to Bangkok. Seventeen agencies for the
sale OF American goods have been established and
others under negotiation. The government has
ordered Eve steam launches from the United States
aud the KING to have American carriage for his
private use. Several American buggies roll the
streets OF Bangkok. and an order has gone out for
more together with tho necessary equipment OF
harness. Since the visit of General Grant there has
been manifest tendency toward commercial inter-
course with the United States ana we may look for
