Trouble in the Coffee Market.

New York. October 16.-Much ex-
element and trouble has been caused
in the coffee market by the introduc-
ton of a new and unexpected disturb
ing element. All the largest coffee
houses receive their own dispatches
from Rio Joneiro, giving the price of
coffee, and the New York exchange al
80 receives NJ official report as to the
price of coffee from Rio Jeneiro. On
Saturday it was discovered that pri-
vate advices quoted their prices at
three-fourths to two cents lower than
the figures posted at the exchange.
The fact that private advices agreed in
the main at length caused them to be
accepted as correct, while the coffee
exchange quotations were ignored.
There was Il large unloading of con-
tracts, aud a further decline here Of
one-third of a cent. Gable advices con-
tinued coming in a conflicting and I'M
satisfactory shape to-day. 1t Is said
that many thousands of dollars have
been lost by these contradictory adj
vices. The South American Gable
company is blamed for the plumbers.
Interviews with leading importers
to-day extract the information that
coffee has been declining for years un,
til the bottom was reached, and it has
now begun to rise.

Buralars Murdered.

New York, October 16.-John Irv-
ing and John Walsh, two widely known
burglars, shot and killed each other in
Shang Draper's saloon early this norm
ing. They had a bitter quarrel, and it
is said that six weeks ago they met in
another saloon and drew pistols on
each other, but we're prevented from
using them. The police story is that
John Irving and ''Jack the Mick" were
in Draper's saloon shortly before 2
O'Clock in the morning, both filled with
liquor, when they quarreled about
some ~rascality in which both were
mutually interested. They became
noisy and Billy Porter entered and
tried to stop the row. This interior
ence only reused the rioters to fury and
they pulled out their revolvers and fir
ed at close quarters Everyone in the
saloon sought cover as the double re-
port rang out. The shots were fired at
the same time and with a like effect.
Irving fell dead with "Johnny the
Mick's" bullet in his brain. The
Mick was shot through the heart.
Neither of the men lived long enough
after the shots were fred to breathe
twice. All the persons suspected Of
being in the saloon at the time of the
shooting were arrested.

Galveston, Tex, October 16.-The
News Laredo special says:
Great sensation is caused by the an
nouncement of suspension at Monte
rey of the great firm of Zembroma s.
Co., M of the oldest and wealthiest
houses in northern Mexico. Reported
liabilities are placed at $500, 900. The
effect of the failure on northern Mex
leo can only be compared to that of Jay
Cooke in their United States house.
Zemboma & Co. are reported to be
composed of Zembroma, Gonzalis, Ire
vino and George Madiro, of Coshutia.
Their business outside of merchandise
has extended largely into the purchase
of valuable estate, and includes many
of the largest and finest laciendos in
Mexico. The immediate cause of sus-
pension is said to be presentation for
payment of two obligations amounting
to 800, 900 and the creditors refusing
TO grant them the desired time to meet
the payments.

Much anxiety among cattlemen has
been occas'oned by the prolonged rainy

frost comes is apt to iniure the grass to
a certain extent. But as cattle depend
principally upon the uplands for their
winter feed, aud as the irosts nave only
occurred on the bottom lands and
grounds of low altitude, they have go
far done but slight damage to winter
ranges, which are now covered with a
heavy growth of finely cured grass aver

has yet taken hold of the leading mines
here, many of the smaller prospects
have been bought up, principally by
Cheyenne men, who are expanding a
liberal amount of money on them for
developing purposes.
The Rochelle mine, at Running
Water, is the only one of the leading
properties that has been favored with
any assistance from capital. The EN-
ployes of this company have been for
some time past busily engaged in TAX
ing out ore from an open cut near the
top Of the hill where the mine is loca-
ted, showing a body of ore over fifty
feet in width, and hesping it up at a
point which commands an easy shoot
from the top of the hill to its base near
the bed of the creek.
Although the owners of this property
have been keeping the many anxious
outsiders somewhat in the dark con-
corning their intentions, yet from the
nature of the work now in progress,
character aud quantity of the ore taken
out, and the mountain of ore already
disclosed, we draw the conclusion that
a stamp mill is in close contemplation,
which will probably be erected on the
Running Water this fall. X.
