Business of the Country-C Clearing. house
Exchanges.
NEW YORK.. October 27th.-The Pu5l;cs
table OF Clearing house transactions, to be
published tomorrow. shows the following
gains and losses for the week over the CORE
spending period of last year Gains-New
York, $40 per cent; Chicago, 1876; Balti-
more. L.; Cincinnati, 155; st. Louis
1876; New Orleans, 1S-6; Pittsburg, 512;
Louisville, AZ; Providence, SO; Kansas

! Syracuse. 81. Losses Philadelphia. II;
Boston 2 San Francisco, 267 Milwaukee,
221. The volume of business this week foots
up 81, 135 100000, against 81, co., 600, 900 for
the same time last year. Were it not for the
gigantic stock speculation last year, New
York's increase this year would be Al per
pei. cent. Probably some very large trans
actions in stocks during week before last
were OF such a character as not to appear in
the exchanges until this week. SO that the OPP
erations reported last week were deceptive in
the amount of decrease shown, and those of
this week, on account of the disturbing inhu-
enee of political interest. Reports viii not
| be of as much significance as usual until the
PRESIDENTIAL question Is settled.
The Episcopal Convention.
NEW YoRK, October 27th.-In the Epis.
copal Convention to-day, the House of Depu-
| ties refused to confer with the Bishops in
changing the existing canon on the reinstate-
ment of clergymen who have abandoned the
Church. Rev. DR.. Beers of the joint COM
mittee on securing missionary Bishop for
each Territory in which there is not at present
a Bishop reported in favor of the PROPOSE
ton. The report was adopted, together with
a resolution appointing a committee of
twenty-one to act as auxiliary to the Board
of Managers of Missions, and to create
missionary Bishop fund. A resolution from
! the Committee ON Amendments to the Con-
stitution, declaring it inexpedient at the
! present time to amend the constitution, so as
to require future legislation to be by canon,
vas adopted. The report of the joint COM
mittee on the subject of Deaconesses was
adopted. 1t sets forth that women of devout
character and approved fitness may be set
apsrt by any Bishop for the work of Dea-
cenesses.
| Deputies adopted the report excluding ex-
tempore prayers from the services Clergy
| Ayes 20, noes II, and eight dioceses
divided. Lay-Ayes II, noes %. The ma
| lority report was then adopted, and the sub
| ject viii now be passed to the Diocesan Con-
ventions for ratification.
| The Committee on Amendments reported
adversely to the proposition to permit mis-
sionary Bishops to speak on questions before
| the House, but not to vote. Judge Prince of
Long Island commended that these delegates
had right to speak, and declared that it
was a mockery to bring these gentlemen
| thousands of miles simply to sit in the
House, without the privilege of opening their
mouths.
After the passage of complimentary reso-
| buttons to the officers of the Convention, the
| House adjourned sine die.
Those Counterfeit Bonds.
WASHINGTON, October 27th.-A number
of the 81, 600 coupon bonds found in the pos
session of j. l.. Doyle when arrested in Chi
cago, have been examined by officers OF the
Secret Service and by experts in the Loan
Division of the Treasury Department, who
pronounce them remarkably good counter
| feits. No one but an expert, they say, would
be likely to detect their spurious character.
Smith, who engraved the plate, it appears,
said that originally there were thirty coupons
on the bonds. When taken from Doyle there
was but one coupon attached. The Others
had been cut eff in jagged way, to look as
though they had been clipped one at time.
| They are several places Of wider spaces Of
white near the margin in the counterfeit
than in the genuine. The large seal,
with Washington right through the
center, is but feebly brought out in
the counterfeit. In the Loan Division they
detected the counterfeit better in the initials
Sd. L. P" and 81. O." SD. L. P" en-
tered the bonds in the loan Office, and 81.
! o." received them in the Registers office.
The signatures are stiff in the counterfeit
not written in the round, easy hands of the
genuine. The numbers of the bonds are a
| little larger ia the cougteTfeiS than in the
genuine. The signature q T.. NJ. Platte, for
| Register" is pronounced an excellent coun-
terfeit, and the yignette of Secretary Chase
| is perfect. IL is not considered that the one
coupon left on each bond could be detected
as counterfeit anywhere. Doyle will have an
examination tomorrow in Chicago. Brock
| way viii also be examined tomorrow in
Brooklyn. The twenty.seven S100 notes
| found in Doyle's valise were also forwarded
to the Secret Service. Upon examination
/ they were found to be genuine, and word sent
! back to Chicago to further look into Doyle's
doings.
