A SENSIBLE COUPLE.

lie and consequent af1liction among his
people, the King has determined to aban-
don the festivities with which his ap-
preaching nuptials were to have been
celebrated. This is also in accordance
with the wishes of the bride elect, who
expressed desire that the funds set apart
for the celebration OF the happy event be
devoted to the relief of the sufferers. But
for the unfortunate circumstances the ap-
preaching marriage would have been cele-
brated by a round of fetes and joyous
demonstrations unparalleled in this

Excitement over the Failure OF Large

Excitement Over the Failure OF Large
Dry Goods Firm for One Million and .
Quarter.
CHICAGO, November 3.-On Saturday
Sheltauer Bros. & Co., wholesale dry goods
merchants on the corner OF Franklin and
Madison streets, sent to their New York
correspondents and creditors the following
notice:
We regret to inform you that We are un-
able to meet our engagements, and have,
therefore, been compelled to suspend. We
shall at once proceed to examine our al
fairs with view OF arriving at our true
condition, and will submit the result
Very respectfully, etc.
Mr.. David Sheltauer, who is the only
partner visible to-day, refuses to make
even general statement as to the cause
of the failure, but states that he has little
doubt that the firm will continue business
after time. Rumor places the amount at
a million dollars, but that is only conJec-
ture. The firm has been considered one
of the strongest and most reliable in the
West, and 1t is difficult to give any reason
for the failure. From the fact that this al
ternoon there was considerable break in
wheat, it was alleged that the firm had
been speculating in wheat, but diligent
inquiry among brokers failed to verify the
assertion.
Mr.. sheltauer says that the creditors
are almost entirely in the East and a few
in Europe. 1t is said that $50, 900 is due
to Philadelphia merchants. n. B. Record,
representing Rufus s. Frost & Co., ,Bos-
ton, and Denny, Poore & Co., New York,
is here and in consultation with members
of the firm. The full statement of the
affairs will not be ready before the latter
part of the week.
The failure created considerable ex--
citement in business circles and a good
deal of speculation was INDUCED in respect
ing the causes. 1t is reported that the
firm invested a quarter Of a million of
dollars in mines in the San Juan country,
but this is declared improbable. tits re-
lated that on Saturday a transfer, amount
in to $4,000 was made to mother-in-law
OF member Of the firm, and that within
five months relation named Rosenfield
was paid $5O0,0O0. Among the indebted
ness is the claim of Clafin & Co., of Ney
York, for 10000; another of George G.
Richardson, of New York, for $50, 900 and
Colonel Strong. OF New York, for $25, 900.
1t is supposed that the indebtedness ,ex'
ceeds one million and may reach million
and half dollars.

WASHINGTON, November 2.-An invita-
ton has been sent General Grant to visit
North Carolina in December or such
other time as may be convenient. This
invitation is from Judge Settle and other
leading Republicans. They promise him

New YORK, November 3.-The dry
goods trade has been active all the week,
and prices are up 5 and 10 per cent. The
same remark applies to woolens, and the
fact is now patent that there will not be
wool enough to go round. AS 8. resort we
must fall back on Europe, and to this end
the orders for foreign wool have been
largely increased.

The undertone of the market is good,

his books, as required in the subpoena,

Judge directed the examination to be

The money market was stringent through
out the day, and most of the Ioans on call
were YAK per diem and legal interest. To-
morrow being legal holiday the brokers had
to provide Themselves with money over to
wednesday, which aggravated the stringency.
Towards theclose of business the market re-
laxed slightly, and loans were made at 1-16
per diem. The notification of the Secretary
of the Treasury, that he would buy one mil
hon dollars of 6 per cent bonds for sinking
fund and that proposals for the sale of same
to the government would be received up 70

government bonds, and also on stocks at the
opening. The latter, however, afterwards de-
clined on a money pressure.

provement was afterwards lost in the general
list, while the Mobile and Ohio fell from PAX
TO 21. but towards the close firmer tone pre-
vailed, and in some instances the highest
quotations of the day were made. Ohio and
Mississippi was the feature, the common
rising 21< and preferred 3A per cent. The
Changers were noticeably firm, especially ST.
Paul preferred, which rose to the highest fig.
ures of the year. The market was somewhat
irregular at the close, but mainly strong. Pa;
cific mail fell to 379S on suspicion that the
pool had marketed some of their stock at the
recent advance. Gould and Sage are said to
have been sellers to-day, and predictions are
made that another shaking outof weak hold
ers will occur before a material rise occurs.
While decidedly bullish feeling predomi7
mated at the close the enthusiasm was not so
intense as of late. Sioux City common closed
at % and preferred at 81.

Heavy Debt Reduction In october.
WASHINGTON, November 2.-The re-
duction of the the public debt during the
month of October amounted to over ten
and quarter millions, larger reduction
than has been made in any month since
October, 1872. Secretary Sherman at once,
upon being notified of this large balance,
ordered circular issued inviting proposals
for the sale of ten millions in any six per
cent Government bond. Bids will be re-
ceived by Assistant Treasurer Hillhouse,
at the Sub-treasury in New York, up to
noon of Saturday next, when they will be
opened and the award made. Upon the
receipt of the bonds purchased under his
circular they will be cancelled and the re-
ceipts added to the Sinking Fund.
The Secretary hopes to be able to reduce
the debt with great rapidity now, if Con-
gress will let him alone, and expects, if
the revenues continue as large as now, to
cancel ten millions of bonds per month.
The receipts for October, particularly
from customs duties, were unusually
large, reaching more than fifteen and a
half millions. The following shows the
actual revenue from both sources In Octo-
ber compared with October year agoi
From customs October, 1878, SI1 ,699, ,525;

crease of over ST, 900 from October

ment for October were comparatively
small, only a little more than million
dollars being paid out on account of ar
resrs OF pensions. The cash balance in the
Treasury was increased about ten millions
during the month.
