| New YORK, September 7th.-The situation
| in regard to the clipper freight market ha
not materially changed, but lhe prospects ar
| brighter than for sometime, as there is N
doubt but that the bulk of the agricultural
implement shipments will go by this route
as shippers cannot make favorable contract
with the agent of the overland route, VIII
wants them to delay shipments for awhile
| This the shippers say they cannot do, as Il
case they failed to make contracts it weult
be too late to ship by clipper, and they thu.
would be at the mercy of the railroads rates
Freights are firm at late quotations generally
The freight agent of the Union Pacific Rail.
| road has returned having left his case in the
hands of the Executive Committee of the trunk
lines. The committee held a meeting this
afternoon, but the result is not made public.
There is no doubt, however, but they will
agree to renew the contract, as there is every
| prospect of railroad war this winter, and
trunk lines will be anxious to carry all the
| freight possible at fixed percentage. The
markets are less active. Wheat opened q
half higher with light speculative demand,
and very little export demand; provisions
are quiet and steady; Rio coffee steady, but
quiet; refined sugars are in good demand and
firm; teas are low, but held frmer hides
unchanged; turpentine less active, and a half
lower petroleum is in good demand, and
higher quicksilver is in fair demand at 43@

The Grain Market.
New York, September 7th.-The activity
which prevails in the grain market here may
be accepted as an evidence that the prediction
that we would be unable to find a market for
all the grain we raise this season will prove ur-
founded The demand was never so great as
now, and the supply never 80 abundant. The
result of the seasons work will be to add an
unparalleled sum to the wealth of the West.
The enormous amount of 49, 300, 900 bushels
of grain was shipped from this port during
the last month The shipments of the pres
emit month will, it is thought, amount to
15, 600, 600 bushels.

The Terr0rs OF the Florida Coast.

Successful Walking on Water.
MILWAUKEE, September 7th.-A young
Norwegian, named Rosendahl. from Mime
apolis, gave an exhibition yesterday of walk
ing on water. 1t was complete success.
With his feet secured in two boat-lilse struc.
lures the young man walked rapidly and
easily on, the surface of the wafer. A pc
culiarity of RosendahPs invention. is the
possibility of making progress by an actual
walking movement. There was no striding
back or sideways, but a straightforward
walk, at rate of at least three miles per
hour. Thousands of spectators witnessed the
feat. and the crowd was very enthusiastic at
the young mans success. The swell occasion
ed by passing tugs did not disturb the walker
to any noticeable degree.
The New Orleans Papers and;he Chinese
Problem.
New York, September 7th.-The New Or
leans papers discuss the recent news that q
steamship load of Chinese cheap laborers il
expected at Havana, and predicts that it will
not be long before Louisiana will be similarly
invaded. The PicGyune thinks the sugar
plantations of Cuba will speedily pass under
their control, lnasmuch as the emancipation
of the negroes has necessitated vigorous eff
forts on the part of the Cubans to secure
economical and reliable labor A. Chinese
| Consulate has been established in Havana
| and ample protection is to be provided fo
the newcomers. The Asiatic is thus accorded
equal rights, inasmuch as he is now the onl,
| hope of the landowners of the Spanish Yves
| Indies. The Picay,tne thinks this is . yer.
serio.s business for the Louisiana suga
planters.
