THE WEEK'S TRADE.
A General Break in Grain and ProEi.
siOns at CbicagO-A Week
Of Unusual
Excitement at New Orleans and st. Louis
Finances Generally Continue
.gTfE Satisfactory.

NEW YORK, February 1O.-A stronger
feeling is needed in business circles, but the
markets are recovering from the depression
incident to the semi-panic in Paris, the
worst effects of which are known now.
Wheat being the leading feature of the grain
market, other grains followed its course, the
tendency of the market being steadily down
ward, dealers apparently being unable to
uphold prices; at the close there was some
recovery, which was lost at the news of the
heavy failure of Preston & Co. The pro-
vision market has been very unsatisfactory
and the tendency downward; fluctuations
were slight, however. In cotton the volume
of business has been very large, with a sharp
decline of to &c per pound, and the market
closes barely steady. The general dry goods
trade continues restricted. Buyers are here
in large numbers, but the orders are not as
large as expected. Prices are generally we'll
maintained. In boots and shoes, the spring
trade does not open with much success. The
demand for immediate needs continues fair,
and manufacturers are supplied with orders
for little time ahead. The market for raw
sugar is stronger with an upward tendency,
refined stocks being light. The tea market
is quiet and prices have changed very little.
The sales at auction seem to meet the present
wants of the trade. There is more inquiry
for Brazil grades of coffee and prices are
frmer, with better distributing demands. In
butter there is a good demand for all Of the
best grades, and prices are well supported.

I'm A DYING CONDITION.
No Hope for the Recovery of SafeIdO-
His Brother Arrested.

WASHINGTON, February 10.-The Western
Associated Press agent saw Mrs. Sateldo, wife
of A. NJ. Sateldo, who was shot in last nights
difficulty at the Republican office, about 10
o'clock this morning. She declined to say any
thing in regard to the merits or dement's of
the difficulty, saying she knew nothing about
it. The report that she was absent from
here was incorrect. She was informed of
the shooting of her husband in an early hour
after it occurred, and Immediately went to
him. In the meantime he had been con-
veyed to the Providence hospital. Mrs.
Sateldo said this morning that her husband
realized that he was in a very dangerous
condition; that no marked change since last
night could be observed, and that there was
but little ground for hope of his recovery.
He said to her this morning that Barton
fired the first shot. 1t is admitted by Barton
that he fired one shot Immediately after TAX
ing his pistol from the drawer of the desk,
but he says he held the pistol low down

somewhere, but in scufiiing his aim was
destroyed, and that he missed Sateldo. Bar
ton is positive he did not fire the shot that
dId the execution, but that Sateldo's brother
did. Barton is resting comfortably, and will
soon recover.
Three different men state to-day that they
heard Sateldo yesterday evening threaten to
kill Barton.
Later.-Sateldo has made an ante-1aortem
statement and his will. He knows he is
dying, and says he is willing to die; he has
no further use for life row that the Rept,bi-
can has ruined his reputation BIZ its pd6lica-
ton. He expresses remorse for his past life
and says he has broken his wife's heart He
maintains that Barton shot him, but says he
forgives him.

this effective lever has been prizipg away
for years, splitting the strongly cohesive sub
stance, but finally 1t yielded 10 pressure and
was precipitated into the valley below. The
spot which was overlooked by the Lone Sen
tinein bears historical significance that will
be added TO by its recent disaster. II is
frequently spoken of in the histories
of Tennessee the spot where Governor
Sewer and his friends and Colonel John B.
Upton and his allies met in bloody and
fatal affrsy Just ninety-four years ago. In
the latter part of the last century, while this
portion OF the State was yet South Carolina,
it seeded and set up State government OF
its Own, calling itself Franklin. Governor
Sewer, it will be remembered, was elected
chief magistrate and commander OF the
militia. South Carolina still claiming this
territory appointed her officials, thereby
causing conflict Colonel John 3. Upton
was appointed county court clerk OF Wash
ington county. He lived at the foot of White
Rock, and Governor Sewer followed by one
hundred and fifty men proceeded to the house
of Upton TO divest him of the official papers.
Colonel Upton backed by a strong force
routed the Sewer allies. Several men were
killed and wounded during the day. On &C.
count OF this engagement White Rock has
often been referred to in the histories OF Ten
nessee, and now that it has passed through
such an ordeal its name will shine brighter
than ever on the records Of time

agreed that they would make no new debts,
but con6ne their operations to settlements
All did not agree TO this, however, and there
was a desperate attempt made by some of the
Hlongs" Just after the opening to put prices
up, but the EFFORTS" rushed in, and
amid the most intense excitement
angry personal feeling on the part OF several
operators on each side forced prices down
again. Finally, q better feeling prevailed.
The agreement was very generally carried
out, the excitement subsidized, and panic was
averted. Prices then rallied, and, although
they fiuctuated somewhat, the advance at
the close this evening was 3 TO 5 points
hig her than the latest sales OF yesterday
afternoon. Provisions ruled strong and
higher most of the week, and there is
speculative movement in pros
pect, and several large purchases of dry
salted meat at country points were made,
both for immediate and future delivery. The
Southern order trade was also large, and the
weeks business was an unusually active one.
The iron market has been steady in all its
branches, and the indications for active
spring trade are good. Steel shows an ad-
vance, and steel rails are firm. Iron rails are
dulI, but all kinds of track supplies are firm.
The stocks of lead are light, and large sales
have been made for late February and March
delivery at full prices.

XLVIITH CONGRESS.
The Pension Arrears Resolution Further
Considered In the Senate-Senat0r
Prye's Speech on the Tariff.
A Dali Day In the House-SeTeral Bills
and Resolutions introduced
and Referred.

WASHINGTON, February l0-Sendte.-The
report of the cattle commission on Pleuro-
pneumonia was called for.
On Tuesday next the Judiciary Committee
will ask to have the bill regarding polygamy
in Utah considered.
Senator Morrill, said that after the pension
arrears resolution was voted on he would
antagonize all measures with the tariff COM
mission bill.
The bill to place General Grant upon the
retired list came up, but, in the absence OF
Senator Logan, was laid over without losing
its place on the calendar.
The pension arrears resolution was again
taken up, and Senator Ma1ey resumed his
remarks IN support of the amendment de-
claring in favor OF the enlargement Of the
Mexican war pension list.
Senator Beck said the principle had been
announced that arrears of pensions should
be given to the pensioners of all our wars,
if this was carried out it would bankrupt
the country. He would vote for properly
guarded legislation to pension the needy and
deserving of our veterans, but not those who
did not need this aid.
The resolution was laid aside and Senator
Frye made a speech on the tariff. He an
nounced himself protectienist from princi-
pie, and started out with the declaration
that owing to the familiar aspect Of the sub
ieet and well-settled convictions OF his
hearers upon it he could not hope to en-
tighten the Senate either as to the benefits OF
protection or the danger of free-trade and
its twin sister, tariff for revenue only"
When Senator Frye concluded his speech
there was an executive session, and the Sem
ate adjourned till Monday.

MEMPHIS APPEAL
SATURDAY, ;: FEBRUARY II, 1882
DIR. 6. b. THORNrON.

IA president OF the Board OF Health in
Memphis. DIR. Thornton has been a hard
worker, keenly on the watch against all that
threatened sanitary danger to our city.
The report of the session of the Legislative
Council in the APPEAL yesterday contained
very important paper from him, showing
the deficiencies that still exist in eur sani
tsry arrangements. The sewer system, az
far az it has been carried out, was reviewed,
and what is yet required to be done was
forcibly set before the council; and so with
the street force, the garbage service, the pro-
posed public latrIDes, the condition of the
bayou, and subsidiary subjects. Those who
read that report, who saw in it proofs of in
dustrious oversight and thoughtful and in
telligent supervision, must have felt sur
prised when they found the proposition to
continue him in position he has so satisfac-
torily filed promptly rejected. We cannot
but express regret that Memphis should lose
20 useful an officer, gentleman skilled in
his profession, who has been with us in our
worst troubles, and guided sanitary council
when the fatal plague was rapidly thinning
our numbers. The position he has occupied
is delicate one. On the one hand he must
not fail to point out possible danger, on the
other must not arouse unnecessary alarm.
To hold the scales true under such circum-
stances, and to avoid contention somewhere
amid conflicting opinion, is no light task,
aud DR.. Thornton's record will stand the test
Of examination from this point of view, al
though to avoid all clashing with differing
theories and experiences was necessarily i'm
possible. As the head of our sanitary serv-
ice, DR.. Thornton has won respect for his
person, admiration for the ability he has dis
played, and high regard for his personal at
tention to duty and faithful discharge of his
functions. Personally and professionally,
Or. Thornton carries with him the best
wishes of his feIlow-citizens, who will never
forget the sentinel who stood on the watch
tower at the moment of their danger, and
will never fail to experience a warm interest
in his welfare.

Chair Factory gurued,

LOUISVILLE, February 10.-Beuchter'
chair factory, in the alley between Shelby
and Campbell and Green and Jefferson
streets, was entirely consumed by fire this
morning. About that hour the policeman
on that beat happened to pass by the factory,
and seeing the light of fire ran at once to
the fre-alarm box and tried to turn on the
alarm. The wires, however, would not work,
and knowing from experience that it was
useless to try the box, he ran 70 the engine
house on Main street and notified them of
the IRE. By the time the engine reached
the fire, the factory, large two-story brick
building, was completely enveloped in flames,
and all the engine could do was to save the
surrounding buildings. In about an hour
the entire inside OF the factory, together
with the stock on hand, was entirely con-
sumed. A great quantity OF chairs and
other furniture were stored away in the
building, and the dry wood burned like
tinder-box, sweeping everything clean, the
one stream OF water which was thrown upon
1t being OF nc avail whatever. The entire
loss is between $4,000 and $4,000; insur-
ance, $4,000.

FAILURES DECREASING.
Weekly Report of X. G. Dun IL Co.'S
Mercantile Agency.

NEW YORK, February 10.-Failures con-
tinue TO diminish, the report of R. G. Dun &
Co., OF the mercantile agency, showing but
one hundred and thirty one in the last seven
days, against one hundred and forty-two the
previous week. The Eastern States con-
tribute nineteen; Western, forty; Southern,
thirty -four; Middle, twenty-eight; Pacific
coast, five, and New York City, Eve. The
principal failures in New York City were
those OF P. L. Fenean & Co., in the cloth
business, and w. r. Preston & Co., grain and
cotton commission merchants. The latter
firm is reported to have lost 100000 or
100000 by the decline in cotton and grain
within week. 1t is not known yet how
much their liabilities are, or how they will
come out. Looking at the failures
whole critically, it is evident that they are
resolving themselves more and more into
two kinds, viz: Trose caused by specuIa-
ton, more or less iilegitimate, and those
which are directly fraudulent and collusive.
The want of a strong, severe national bank
rupt law was never more felt than at present.

MANNINa's JUDICIARY BILL.

The attention Of lawyers and the people of
the States is now directed to bill of great
national Importance introduced in the House
of representatives, bill to reorganize the
Supreme Court OF the United States, by the
Hon. Van H. Manning, of Mississippi. Since
the war between the sections persons elected
20 Congress from any of the Confederate
States, and more especially from Mississippi,
who differed in political sentiment from the
party in control of the general government,
have found more or less difficulty in gaining
admission to their seats, and when seated
have been chiefly and necessarily engaged in
repeiling the unjust assaults of a powerful
and prejudiced faction. The Southern mem
her who could heretofore secure sufficient
respite from such unpleasant employment to
consider and propose some measure for the
benefit of his Immediate constituency, such
as the House could not, in deceney, reject,was
considered fortunate indeed, and was Justly
credited with skill in the pacifcation of OBJ
stinaLe foes 1t is therefore indicative of
a better state OF affairs that the Hon.
Van H. Manning has been able to turn
his attention most successfully to the great
problem of how to relieve the docket OF
the Supreme Court, and provide for its more
speedy administration OF justice in the fu-
ture-a problem requiring unusual study, re-
fection and genius-one that was too much
for the profound mind of Judge David Davis,
judging from his cumbersome and impracti-
cable solution, and one that thus far seems
to have bafled the efforts OF the committee
Of eminent lawyers appointed to consider
it, last year, by the Americas Bar Asso-
citation, at Saratoga. Manning's solution,
like Columbus's egg feat, seems simple
enough, as presented in his bill, and
leaves one to wonder it had not sug-
gested itself to the many who have long
recognized the imperative necessity OF some
relief for the overtssked court AS the |

Rochester IN. " Special to Cincinnati CONNER
ciaI
One OF the most disgracefal events that
ever occurred in this city, took place at the
operahouse tonight, during Oscar Wilde:
lecture ON English Renaissance" About
one hundred students from the University OF
Rochester had engaged seats in the first bal
cony, and came for the purpose of doing
their best to interrupt and insult the speaker.
They began by ttrning out the lights in the
balcony, and welcomed Mr.. Wilde with
shouts and Kisses. Manager Gobay called a
number of the police force, who succeeded
in keeping moderate order. One student was
struck in the face with a whip BY police
man, and it was feared a riot would ensue.
but as it was the insulting band served to
annoy the audience and disgraceiully insult
the lecturer. When the lecture was about
half finished an old colored man, hired for
the purpose by the students, walked down to
the front seat of the parquette. He was
dressed, having white kid gloves,
and wearing a large bouquet
OF various flowers, and his entrance was
greeted with uproarious shouts. 1t is not
known what steps will be taken in regard to
the disgraceful affair

CHICAGO,
Finances Good = A General Break in
Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO, ILL, February 10.-The unset
tied condition OF affairs on Change has
made lively work at the banks, where mar
gins have been sharply called down, and
money continues in good and even active de-
mand by other classes of borrowers, particu-
larry as the prospects are for an early spring.
Loanable funds keep pace with the demand
and the condition of finances is good and
sound. Clearings of the week aggregate
estimating Saturday. $39, 600 900, which ia
falling off compared with the average of
late, but compares well with the same time
last year. General business though slow in
starting up since the holidays, is gradually
becoming more lively. The weeks business
on Change, which was between a dull mar
ket and high prices, increased in early
activity and prices dropped steadily I'M
I'll to-day, when the lowest rate on
wheat was 61sc lower than Mondays
best quotations, and to-day tie lowent coin
quotation was 45c below Mondays best.
The highest price in each case was quoted
Monday, the lowest to-day. The break in
provisions, though comparatively a quiet
one, was nevertheless sign ficanf, and the
drop OF 40c on lard caused a sensation.
With all the breaks in prices there have
been no failures, and the anxiety which
usually accompanies such movements has
been wanting this time. One of the reasons
heavy operators, while the smaller traders
and the country are the "bears" No great
amounts of grain have been handled by any
firm except for a short "scaIping" deal.
The stiff freight rates work in the interest of
the short" side, while the weather, which is
almost balfhy, gi7es promise OF early seed
ing TO the farmers. Sales for the week for
the March option ranged: Wheat, 81 252@
l 274; corn, 56s@60yc; oats, 39g@42lc;
pork, SlS@1S rs; lard, 11.023@}I1. 42@c
Although the range on these articles
was little lower, there was no pronounced
break which makes or loses fortune in a
day. The receipts during the week OF all
grain, including -four, reduced to basis of
bushels, aggregate l ,S4s 900, and shipments
], SOS, 900 bushels. For the first time in some
week, the receipts, therefore, are exceeded by
the shipments. The receipts at the same
time last year were only 1880 bushels.
while the shipments were only 100000
bushels. 1t must be remembered, however,
that last last years prices were some zoe
lower on wheat, zoe on corn, lie on oats, "a
lower on pork, 81 IS lower on lard. This ac-

The Situation at ST. Louis.

Change at the opening this morniDg was the
most. intense and demonstrstive ever known.
The most desperate efforts were made by
both sides to control the market, the
longs" insisting on higher prices and the
shorts" persistently attempting TO hammer
them down. Finally the excitement ran so
high that a panic became imminent, and
then several OF the principal "shorts" agreed
to do no more trading except on settlement.
This almost entirely stopped trading and the
excitement subsidized, greatly TO the relief of
everybody. At the II 80 o'clock call mo-
ton was put and carried that all deals
should be regarded as in settlement. Prices
then advanced l to &c and trading proceed
