his senses and to speak. The student
declared that he had formed part OF a
secret society OF twenty Nihilists
who had all sworn 10 kill the
Emperor. They had: drawn lots and
it had fallen to his lot to carry out the
plan OF assassination on the 18th Of July.
Nineteen daggers were suspended over
his head, and his brother Nihilists
swore to kill him il he showed the
slightest agitation, but Notwithstanding
this threat his heart failed him, and he
resolved to die by his own hand. Before
committing suicide he had written to NJ.
Baronof, with the conviction that one
of his fellow.conspirators would imme.
diately take his place. The student
lived until the 10Th of July. Before
breathing his last lie revealed the names
OF his nineteen brother Nihilists, who
have all been secured by the police.

THE FAILURES OF NO CONSEQUENCE
NEW YORK.
A Better Feeling Generally.

n bCbtOi - SOhhA
NEW YORK, July 22.-There is bet.
ter tone in trade circles generally this
week, with more confidence in the
future. Reports from the country are
generally reassuring. The almost GER
tainty felt that the President will re-
cover has helped i'll no small degree TO
the hopeful view the business commu-
nifty take of the situation. In dry goods
the market is without feature. The
jobbing houses expect to be busy in a
week and are hopeful OF the Fall trade
In grain the markets, as a rule, have
been strong, and business large with a
tendency toward higher prices. Wheat
closed firm at considerable advance.
The trade seems to realize that the crop
OF winter wheat is short.
In wool prices are steady. Sellers, as
a rule, are holding strongly to previous
prices, without any special disposition
on the part OF consumers to purchase.
A fair amount OF business is doing.
In iron the demand for American and
Scotch pig has improved some, bu. no
'
very fair business was done in small
lots, and prices are firm. The activity
reported in bar continues, and the mills
are behind with their orders. Prices are
firm, with an upward tendency.
The failure record this week includes
between eighty and ninety cases, nearly
half in the Western States. In the South
there have been seven business casual.
ties to report, and these are OF little or
no consequence. In the Middle States
twenty.eight succumbed, and in the
East nine. In New York City out OF
ten cases there are none Of any consc.
ouence. Most OF the failures througout
the country are those OF struggling RI.
tailers, class peculiarly liable to mis-.
fortune even in prosperous times. The
wholesale trade in all quarters, il not
active, seems just now very sound and
healthy.
