A WEEKS EXCHANGES.
Showing the Monetary Transac-
tions i'm the Business World,
and Outlining the Future.

New YORK, August 1.-THE shrink
age of business which is expected in
August comes this week in New York,
but thus far at hardly any other
CITY. 1t is a curious Circumstance that
the same phenomena was observed in
the exchanges for the second week OF
August OF last year, so that the remarks
made August 10, 1880, apply equally
we'll to day, viz: The changes for the
second week OF August are sur.
prising in their smallness. Not
for a long time have the exchanges
here been as small as they were last
week. The other reports show con-
stant and healthy business at the larger
cities. The gain in the exchanges is
more than the average advance in
prices. The exchanges have not been
as small at any other time since Septem-
Der as they were last week. Mean while,
Baltimore is the only considerable city
which does not show an increese OF ex-
changes greater than the average advance
in prices, and the business OF that city
appears 10 have been diminishing Tor
some weeks past.

BLOOD NOT POISONED.

The Whole Trouble Lies With the stom-
ach-The President Reduced About
Seventy Pounds
EXECUTIVE MANSION, August l7.-Dr.
Bliss in a second interview this morning
was asked whether there was anything
in the Presidents condition TO Indicate
that payemea or blood poisoning was tine
cause OF the Presidents unfavorable
symptoms. He replied very emphati-
cally in the negative and said there was
no connection whatever between the
wound and the present troubles; that
the unfavorgble symptoms were due to
the condition OF the PATIENTS stomach;
and that the attending surgeons were
all quite confident that the treatment
adopted would soon remedy this. In
referring to the appearance Of the Pres
ident, DR.. Bliss said that when be was
shot he weighed 2l0 pounds; that his
confinement had reduced him probably
20 pounds, and there was OF course some
pallor. All the reports received from the
sick room this morning have been OF an
encouraging character, and while there
is feeling Of reinsurance considerable
anxiety is still manifested, and the noon
board is anxiously awaited.

PARNeLL ON THE COERCION ACT
ENGLAND.
The Times on the Land Bill.

The Times on the Land Bill.
LONDON, August 1.-THE Times says:
II we go back to Gladstone's speech in
the Commons on the introduction of
the land bill it will be seen that the bill
in its present shape has fully satisfied
the conditions Of the solution then con.
templated by Gladstone, as the original
project. With regard to Ireland, there
ought to be no difference OF opinion
among the tenant farmers, at least in
regard to the value OF the bill. 1t gives
them all and more: than ia reasonably
among them expected, or has been de.
manded down to this time last year.
Parnell and the Coerc on Act.
LONDON, August lin the Commons
ts-day on motion for going into Com.
mittee OF Supply, Psrnell moved that
the Coercion act had been administered
in accordance with the pledges which
the ministers had given when they in.
duced Parliament to suspend the con-
stitution, and he declared the action Of
the Government in regard to coer:ion
prevented any gratitude for the
Land Bill. 1t was well known,
he said, that but for the
Land League the whole strength OF
Commons was unavailing to force the
land bill through the Lords. He
thought the Irish people would be wise
il they continued to rely upon their own
exertion which had procured them such
installment Of just rights.
Messrs. Labor, Daily and others fol.
lowed Parnell, the principal point made
by all the speakers being that the power
OF arrest under the Coersion Act had
been used to crush political agitation
and not against ruffians, whom Chief
Secretary for Ireland, Forster, de.
nounced in his speech at the introducing
OF the Coercion bill.
William johnson, Solicitor General
for Ireland. replied, denying these accu-
sations. He said that he hoped before
long, when peace and order had been
restored, the prison doors might be
opened.
Anderson, advanced Liberal member,
Joined Nolan in urging the release
OF the subjects. The latter, in urging
their immediate release. said that il the
government waited until every one In
Ireland was contented with the land
bill, the release OF the prisoners would
be long deferred.
Alter some further debate, the House
adjourned.
