WASHINGTON, Sept l8.-Proceelings
has been begun by the Government
against the property of s. Ii. w. How
gate. The prospect is that upwards OF
100000 will be realized from real estate
belonging to him in this city, which has
been attached. Mis- inamorata, Nellie
Burrell, has been living here until with
in few days, but now she has dssap-
peared, having quietly removed all her
clothing in small bundles. Not much
anxiety has been shown by Capt, How
gate This is said to be due in great
measure to the fact that number of
prominent business men who had been
benefited by his frauds and were not in
clined TO give any assistance whatever to
the Government in bringing him back.
They would rather help him pecuniariy
md prevent voluntary return, as he
promised when his case should be called
1t is estimated that the sale of his real
estate in Washington will realize
about half of the amount taken
oy him during his career in the
signal office. No trace of
the fugitive has been discovered since
the evening he gave the deputy marshal
the slip, although every person with
whom he was suspected Of having deal
ing has been watched. The impression
is that Howgate is somewhere on the
continete of Europe, and all the vessels
going from New York for several weeks
will ce scrutinized in the hopes that Miss
Burrell will be among the passengers.
LONDON, Sept. 49, The Mark Lane
Express, in reviewing the grain trade of
the past week. says: In Scotland, Ire
land and the northern counties of Eng
land, harvesting has proceeded satisfaC
torily, while in the earlier districts the
harvest is virtually over. The market
for barley disclosed the fact that the
trade has yielded to the pressure of an
abundant foreign supply. Red wheat is
relatively lower than white in foreign
wheat sales. Buyers are awaiting rates
which are not yet obtainable. In some
cases, on Friday, six shillings less were
accepted for new wheat The receipts in
London for the past week have been 49,
267 quarters There has been large ar
rival OF foreign flour, which sold Cd low
er, and maize was lower and weaker.
Grinding barley is cheaper, but the
price for oats is firmly maintained. Car
goes are inanimate. The only feature in
American grain is the advance of 9d in
red winter wheat. Twenty-Five arrivals
and nine cargoes were sold, ten with
drawn, and seventeen remain, sixteen
being American. Sales of English wheat
the past week we're AZ, ,429 quarters at As
sd, against 1895 quarters at 5ls Id the
corresponding week last year. AT the
wool sales today $4,000 bales were dis
posed Of, principally from New Zealand
and the Cape of Good Hope, at special
prices.
