which report averages only, have really been,
at the end oil several successive weeks, in a
worse condition than i indicated by their
statements. The people in the interior have
not been buying securities, they have sent
more orders TO sell than 10 buy, which has
Tended 10 drain money from New York, and
il is considered fortunate that this move
neut has not become q panic. Should cir
cupstances remain az they are at present,
the banks having no reserve, eight money in
March Is inevitable. Paris and London
have lowered their rates. Ii this is from
expected American remittances, it is possible
the amount yet to be sent over there may be
larger than is generally supposed. Without
some change there Is no suficientr re asont to pre-
diet a discontinuance Of specie exports, and
it seems correct to look for an active money
market in March with times OF
considerable stringency, and it Is in
ferred that any expectations Of an easy
money market this month will be disap-
pointed. Should the rate here fall below
specie to Europe, where money seems to be
likely to be in demand tor some time at full
rates, and the occurrence of periods of ease
should not tempt any one to count too con-
fdently upon their continuance, or to expand
so lar that sudden emergencies would involve
disaster. This review OF the situation carries
with it, in all its aspects, the same lesson and
warning-watchiulness, prudence, and I'M
varying caution.

THE JAMES ID. PARKER
sunk Oh the Falls at LOuisville-BOaf
and Cargo a Total Loss

LOUISVILLE, March 5.-The steamer James
D.. Parker, from Cincinnati for Memphis, wa
sunk in the channel under the railroad bridge
shortly after noon to-day. The boat was be-
ing piloted over the falls by Captain Pink
Varble, and he accounts tor the accident by
the vessel refusing to answer her helm. She
was drawing only six and a half of the eight
feet of water in the chute The boat lies at
the lower end of Bubble rock, with bow up
stream, and is a total loss. The life-saving
crew were at the scene in ten minutes, ana
by their timely aid prevented the loss of life.
Amid the excitement the boat took fire, but
the efforts OF those aboard were sufficient to
extinguish the flames before they had gained
much Roadway.
Captain Varble says: "We passed the dam
all right until we got into shoal water at the
head Of the chute, at which point the bow
inclined a little to the left side. l immedi-
ateiy gave her the wheel, so as to give her a
sheer to the starboard, but she would not
answer the helm, but kept steering over to
the port side. | then saw she was bound to
strike on the left side of the chute. |
stopped the engines and waited a minute
until | saw she was not answering her helm.
/ had the engines reversed and succeeded in
backing her, but to no good. The boat kept
moving until she struck the left-hsnd reef
several times. In the movement the boat
sheered again, and by the time We got to the
bridge she was broadside across the channel.
About this time the mate informed me that
the BOAT was filling with water aud sinking
rapidly, and she sunk before / could get her
to shoal water"
AS the Parker was at the wharf only a
short time, very little is known about her
cargo, which consisted of merchandise from
Cincinnati for Southern points.
The boat was valued at about S25 600, and
was insured for half in Cincinnati. She was
the property of the Cincinnati and Memphis
Packet Company.

MARKETS.
Wheat LOwer-COrn I'm Fair Demand
OATS and Provisions Dull.

CHICAGO, March 6.-NVheat ruled lower
to-day under adverse foreign and domestic
advices and some pressure TO sell. There
was a moderately active movement and de-
mand. The opening was firm and &c higher,
but prices soon declined nearly &c, rallied a
trifie, AMI, with many fluctuations, closed ] lc
lower for April and lie lower for May. The
shipments and receipts were almost nominal.
Sales were made at 81 264@l 275 April,
81 23@1 % MAY, 81 1S4@1 POI june.
Corn was in fair speculative demand and
prices crept up a tritie. Free offerings and
uniavorab1e advices, however, proved too
much for the market, and there was a
gradual weakening and a decline Of 5@1c,
with light trading toward the close, when
rates were about SC below those of Saturday.
The movement was very limited. Sales
ranged at 5S2@59ac April, 63@63sc May,
623@633c June.
Oats fell into line with the weak and dull
feeling, though the decline was not very
marked. Sales were made at 40l640sc
April, 439G43Rc May.
Pork declined heavily and closed tame;
offerings were liberal and demand lust fair.
An unsettled, nervous feeling prevailed and
the drop ranged from 45@55c. Lard was
similarly affected with pork, ruling weak,
with a 15@20c decline and a quiet close.
Sales OF pork were made at SI6 05(G16 o.
April, SIC 274G16 S5c May. Sales of lard
were made al 10.I72@1O.40c April, 1O.324@
10 Soc May.
GA call sales were fair for all articles, but
there was an irregular and unsettled market
as to prices. The general tendency was to
better prices, but there were a few exceptions.
Corn exhibited the greatest strength.

IA MONETARY ANO COMMERCIAL
CONDITION.

As the weeks pass on they, with increased
emphasis, preach caution. Last weeks ex-
change summary showed speculative activity
in grain side by side with a decrease in New
York both in business and in stock opera
tions, and a peculiar weakness in several of
the most important cities. The exchanges
of ten cities were smaller than on the CORE
spending week last year-an unusual state
of things. At the great trade centers de-
clining tendencies of the amount of trade
had been observed, and now We see the re-
sult-shrinking trade elsewhere. But al
though the quantity of trade was decreasing,
the price Of goods was higher, and a de-
creased movement and increasing prices
cannot long go together. On Thursday week
stocks were in such a state that a feeling of
panic was beginning TO develop itself. and
only strenuous efforts brought about a re-
action. There was the borrowing and the
patching up to meet the crisis Of the mo-
ment that shows on how feeble a foundation
the markets rest for security. OF course there
are explanations for all these things, rose-color
lights into which the situation can be put,
Dut tuC luluS AOI 1T IEBuAdAf 5lSduN man u
business to notice is that all this is in con-
trast with the weeks we have had since re-
sumption, when neither explanation nor rose
color were required; therefore the free and
easy way of doing business then would be
suicidal now. Our business foundations are
good, but there has been and is too much
gingerbread work" in the suPerstructure,
and gingerbread bridges are not to be trusted
with heavy loads. Railroad wars, and now
losses through floods, add losses to the more
permanent sapping OF profits that comes
through opening new railroad lines with de-
creased earnings, while the vast new rail-
road enterprises now in progress are making
serious inroads upon the amount OF ayaila-
BILE capital. 1t is a significant thing when
such a gigantic enterprise as the Louisville
and Nashville railroad, recently too over
bearing to be resisted and carrying all be-
fore it, shows signs of distress. The New
York Public says: "The people of that road
nave been pushed to give some explanation
of the existence and origin OF a large
floating debt, and the explanations made
so far require supplements and additions
of still more importance, for less
than hall the facts have been told +"
An effort has been made to induce
creditors to AXE new claims in place of old
ones. This is one instance in proof OF the
imperative necessity that exists just now for
business men to look keenly around them and
be guarded where they give credit. While
this is the condition of.commerce, the more
tary prospect for the present month has by
no means a bright look. The New York
Public, in its last Issue, estimates the bank

idea that velocity is the most potent and
available factor that can be employed in the
prevention Of a rise Of water levels. II by
the use Of cutoffs and j~etties the current
may be accelerated so as to run 200 miles
instead Of 100 miles in twenty-four hours, the
main problem is solved. Such an increase
in velocity would not seriously impede navi-
cation, and would effectually control and
keep within the banks the surplus wa er that
produces the overflow. II this increased
velocity should be checked in near approach

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Floods in IN Mississippi-A Remedy.

Floods In the Mississippf-A Remedy.
To the Editors of the Appeal:
The Valley Of the Mississippi is The largest
body of fertile land in the world. Ii relieved
from overflow it would support a population
OF mere than 100, 200, 900 inhabitants. Its
redemption from overflow, and its perm&-
| nent occupancy and development as the
home Of millions, is the big problem of the
century. The great inundation that now
carries desolation and death along its track
from Cairo to the gulf is an appalling calam-
ity, exceeding in direful consequences the
great fire at Chicago, the fires in Michigan,
or any physical calamity known in the mis-
tory of the country. Every man having an
opinion of his own as to the remedy should
express it-that in a multitude OF counsel
there may be found wisdom. With some
modesty and misgivings | published my
opinion in your issue OF Saturday last.
Since then l have reflected, and find that |
did not fully develop my idea, and write
now to add briefly what / then omitted. Ny
idea is without dependence on %levees) 10
keep within the natural banks of the river
that body of water which now leaves its
channels and overfows the country. To do
this, | stated that a slight increase of velocity
| was all that would be required. Now | wish
only II add that-as a necessary adjunct TO any
system under which such increased velocity
could be attained-ihe capacity Of outlets
into the gulf should be so increased
as to afford an unchecked delivery
of the supply due TO increased velocity.
So that, TO perfect a system that
embraces, primarily, measures to increase
velocity, all natural outlets into the gulf
should be opened, artificial outlets, If neces-
sary, should be made, and all bayous,

A Versa tile villain.

CHICAGO, Ill March e.-DeRohan, the
spurious priest arrested here, is but thirty
one years OF age. His real name is Adrian
Gorder, and he is a native OF Holland. Dur
ing his career he has borne twenty five
aliases, was confined in the Missouri peni-
Tertiary for obtaining $500 through forgery,
and while there he gained the confidence Of
the officials and was placed in charge of
patients in the hospital, escaping to Canada,
where, under his former guise as a priest, he
robbed a woman of $500. st. Louis Officers
hearing of his whereabouts secured extradi-
ton papers, which were signed by President
Garfield upon his death-bed, it being dis
covered afterward that breaking jail was not
an extraditable off-Dse. DeRohan was re-
leased on the oath of August. Arriving here
last week he took up his abode as a priest
at Alexander Brothers hospital, where one
of the brethren becoming suspicious gave
information which led TO his arrest. De-
Rohan was educated for the priesthood, but
was never ordained. He speaks five Ian
