BUSINESS FAILURES.
Suspension of Several Large Boot and Shoe
Firms in Massachusetts.

Suspension of Several Large Boot and Shoe
Firms in Massachusetts.
Boston, July 3O.-The Journal states
that Charles W. Copeland & Co., shoe
manufacturers, have inedfnitly suspended.
The liabilities amount to $4,000 which
the firm says it has sufficient assets to
cover. The firm has several New York
connections, and some of the liabilities are
due in that city. The failure is said to be
due to sudden pressure of several large
obligations and the firm in justice to its
creditors decided to suspend operations
until an understanding can be arrived at.
BRoCToN, Mass, July 30.-The superin-
tendent of Copeland & Co.'S boot and glove
factory. in this city, Saturday received
word frsm Copeland, who is absent, to
suspend business indefinitely and to take
account of stock and pay the help all due
them. The firm has factories in Brocton,
Natick, North Abingdon and Midway, and
employs altogether about 600 hands.
The Boston journal says Stedman & Co.,
shoe dealers of New York, have suspended
in connection with Copeland &. Co., of
which house they are branch. It is also
announced here that w. N. Tailor & Co. ,
shoe dealers of Baltimore, have suspended
in connection with the Copeland failure,
and that Hoffmeir & Son, of Norfolk, Va,
are in trouble from the same cause.
The first news of the embarrassment on
the street came from the return of the
firms checks from the clearing house en-
dorsed "no funds" An hours time after
the regular settlement hour was asked and
granted, but although the funds at hand
were almost sufficient to cancel the i'm
mediate obligations it was found impossi-
bic to permanently tide over the embar-
rassment.
PORTLAND. Me-, July 30.-At a meet
ing of the creditors of the Stanton Steam
Mill company the liabilities were stated
at $4,000 and assets $4,000. The credi-
voted to accept rs per cent. payable in
notes of two, four and six months with
good endorsers with interest and the re-
naming 25 per cent. in notes of the com
| pany running one and two years.

closes at 297s, premium of 23sc over
August.
Cash and July rye ruled steady, but
there were quite free offerings of deferred
futures and for these prices weakened 10
No particular attention was given the
barley market.
Onder the influence of quite liberal re-
ceipts of hogs lower prices we're accepted
Spectators appear to be more inclined to
sell for future delivery and the demand
was net particularly urgent and mainly
from shorts. Orders from outside par
ties were fair, but the bulk of the trading
is credited to local accounts. Shippers
bought moderately and orders showed a
little decrease in the aggregate. Foreign
advices indicated steady and moderately
firm feeling in that quarter. But the re-
ports from the eastern markets were
less favorable to holders.
The receipts of products
were free and shipments quite liberal,
particularly of lard. The market ruled
rather tame during the latter part of the
session, and prices in general way IA
vored sellers. August lard was changed
over into September at 12c, pork sti171ac,
and ribs at 1215c, and these changes
caused large share of the trans actions.
The bears had the advantage of the weak
grain markets, while the receipt of 25.000
hogs, with 10000 more expected to-mor-
row, causing break in that market of 20c,
had direct influence on products, but
although they turned all their strength to
send the product way down deep, the shorts
and investors had grit enough to buy on
each weak spot, and finally induced a
steady tone. Fowler was bear, but Cud-
ahy bought little. Singer bought in one
lot of 1000 August lard. Fairbank &
Armour were apparently idle, and other
operators do not advertise their opinion to
any extent. The position is just as it was
on Friday or Saturday. The first of August,
with its deliveries and the postings of
stock, is expected to bring about some &C
tivity. 1t is estimated that the postings
will show stock to be about $4,000 tierces
OF lard and 10000 barrels of pork. For
the latter article to-day moderately active
demand prevailed, and the offerings
were free. The market opened
easy at 1O@15c decline, and a
further reduction of 71a@1Oc was submit
ted to later. The market ruled steadier
and about the middle of the session prices
improved 5@1Oc. Toward the close
weaker feeling set in and prices receded to
the inside range, but rallied again slightly
and closed with considerable steadiness,
September at $18.921s. The shipping de-
mand was fair in quiet way and sales
were chiefly of small quantities.
A fair inquiry prevailed for lard, but the
offerings were not very large. The liberal
shipments attracted some attention.
Prices, however, ruled lower IN sympathy
with the reduction in those of other arti-
cles. The market was only moderately
active, and prices On the whole range de-
clined 100 15c per 100 pounds and closed
comparatively steady at the reduction.
Shipping demand moderate. Cash in good
demand to carry against contracts. Sep
tember is quotable at $S.921s.

A Notable Visitor.

New YORK, July -Monsignor Capel,
after resting at the hotel, called upon Car
dinal McClosky and Archbishop Corrigan,
and had brief interview with each. He
left the city at 4 for Burlington, N. j.,
where he will make short visit to some
friends. NJ. Uapel proposes to give a
course of lectures in the principal cities.
Among other things he will lecture on art,
painting, travel, education and Catholi-
cism, aad kindred subjects. One of the
principal objects of his visit is to study
American institutions and observe the
effect of their influence upon the growth
and development of the Roman Catholic
religion. He will travel much in the west,
going probably to San Francisco, and dur
ing his journeyings he intends to make q
careful study of the American educational
system, of which he says he has high
opinion. He will preach frequently.

ed as much as it has been covered in spe-
cial cases. The buying in Northern Pa
cifc preferred all day was better than the
selling. Kiernan says: "The losses of
the Western Union company during its
harvest season will be difficult or impossi-
BILE to make up this year, but dividends
must be paid somehow or other as long as
Gould has such a vast quantity of the
stock for sale. Should he make up his
mind that it would pay better to bring the
strike to an end rather than win nomi-
nal victory, it is expected that the end will
be brought about with one of those dra-
matte surprises which are his forte, the
market be whirled up on the strength of
it, and in the general jubilation he
will be able to sell the stock he has had to
accumulate to sustain the price since the
strike began. A well-informed party and
an intimate business associate, however,
thinks Gould will defeat the strikers if
possible. The improvement in stocks
started on the favorable report of the
Reading Road & Coal company for June
showing gain in profit of nearly $780,
600. The Jersey statement for June showed
a profit to Reading of $26,00O. 1t appears
that Lackawanna is advanced by a new
pool, but no pool advances Reading. The
bears hammer it, and it rises on good buy
ing in spite of its active enemies. The
transactions to-day were $4,000 shares, and
the outlook is regarded as more encour-
nOinO for q r,onra eatfIa1 eto+o 0e o&oire
An advance is not impossible.

ENGLISH MARKETS.

LONDON, July 30.-The Mark Lane Ex-
press in its review of the British grain
trade the past week says the continued
wet weather has further damaged the
crops. Wheat less firm, flour firm and at
times dearer. Foreign wheats weakened,
the supply being large, -four is in less de-
mand. The market for both maize and
barley is against buyers, and there was
little inquiry. The trade in cargoes off
the coast is brisk. There were twenty ar
rivals and fourteen sales, thirteen cargoes
were withdrawn, land six remain. About
fifteen cargoes are due this week. Trade
in forward months stagnant. Sales of
English wheat during the week 2S,735
quarters at AS Id per quarter against
10,237 quarters at fifty the corresponding
week last year.

New YORK, July 3O.-Stocks were buoy.
ant and active at the opening this morning
Early there was excellent buying of St
Paul. Northwestern showed some weak
ness for short time, but soon gathered
strength, advancing to 12915. Manitoba
was the particularly strong feature, and a
rise to above Ill was made during the
morning. Delaware & Lackawanna was as
on Saturday, in demand, and by midday
the whole list showed more life than has
been witnessed in many days. Omaha
common came to the front during the after
noon, and acted as though it was consider
ably oversoid. It touched 4718 at one
time. New York Central advanced to III.
Michigan Central to 891s, and Canada
Southern gained 1 per cent. There are
still many sceptics who consider the pres
ent rise fash in the pan. We have been
treated to so many set-backs of late that ii

vinced that the market has turned per-

Dental letter to their customers, say
''The first half hour the market was active
and strong, and had more the appearance
of an upturn than has been visible in many
days before. The market was free from
excitement. The Gould stocks were strong,
his hand was not seen in the buying, hut
it appeared that it was a case where the
buying movement set in and found no
stock offering. After the first hour the
market centered in New York Central, St.
Paul, Lackawanna, Texas Pacific and the
Omahas. During the rest of the day the
market was quiet, but the tone continued
strong until the failure of Copeland & Co.,
dealers in boots and shoes, in Boston, was
announced with liabilities of $7SO,000.
Work, Strong & Co. sold Burlington down
on this report, and they and John Slay back
raided Northern Pacific and Oregon Trans
continental. The market closed very
steady. Lackawanna was strong and 74115

The bears maintain that last weeks

There is an improved tone among
room operators who have
been great bears; also among
leading commission houses. At least it
may be said the market bids fair to harden
on all reactions.
Vanderbilt brokers were buying New
York Central and Lake Shore this morn

it is certainly preparing for higher prices.
There is good buying in Omaha. Any buy

DETROIT, Mimi, July 3O.-A case here
was brought up to-day which excites con-
siderable attention. few days ago a
man calling himself Thomas O'Neil came
here and began practicing law with W. W.
Rossman, lawyer and justice of the
peace. He Immediately set to- work to in
vestigate the title to the land on which the
town of Redwood is situated, and claims
that the title is invalid. He collected fees
to the amount of $500, when the payers
began to suspect that all was not right, and
had the man arrested. In his possession
was found large number of papers bear
ing the name of William M. Leslie, and in
some the name had been erased
and Thomas w. O'Neil written in
very bungling shape. An effort was made
to photograph him to-day, and pictures, if
taken, will be sent to all parts of the
country where the papers show Leslie to
have been known. The man has evidently
rOamed around good deal, and an effort
will be made to find out who and what he
is. Temporarily he is charged with OBJ

A VALUABLE MEDICINE.
Hunts Remedy-Its Many Merits.

Hunts Remedy-Its Many Merits.
There is no disease more prevalent, with per
haps, the exception of Consumption, in this
country, than the Kidney and Liver complaints;
and to find remedy that would efectually ro-
lieve them has long been the aim of many af-
fiicted sufferers Whether our habits as a people
are conducive to these diseases, or whether they
may result from the popularity of our climate,
is beyond our comprehension, and is of little
valre since an efficaciOus remedy can be had;
but Of one thing sure, that the long-af-
flieted public will hail with joy the specific
which has again and again proved its ability to
effectuay cope with and eradicate these dis
eases. The name of this medicine Is Hunts
Remedy, and it is manufactured by the Hunts
Remedy Company of Providence. 1t is not often
that mention of patent medicine occurs in these
columns; but, when one comes under our notice
possessing such undOubted merit as the one of
which we speak. we cannot refrain from giving
it the credit which it deserves, 1t cures when
all other remedies fail it acts directly upon
the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels, restoring them
all at once to healthy action. II is to eradi
cate all diseases of the Kidneys Bladder, Uri-
nary Organs-such as Gravel. Diabetes. Incon-
tinence, Retention OF the Urine. 1t has O won
derfu effect on Weakness or Pain in the Back,
Sides, or Loins, and has proved itself the most
reliable medicine extant for General Debility,
Female Diseases, Disturbed Sleep. Loss of Appe-
lite, and all complaints of the Urino-Genital
Organs. Its efficacy in case of
that dreadful scOurge and insid-
Ious destroyer. Brights Disease OF the
Kidneys, has been remarkable; and, If its merit
rested on its success in coping with that disease
alone, it would be worthy of
high rank public bone
factor In all diseases of the Liver-as Bilious
ness, Headache, Dyspepsia, Sour Stomach, and
Costiveness-it quickly induces that organ to
healthy action, and removes the causes at the
sition, being entirely free from ali mercuriai or
mineral poisons, and possesses rare virtue as a
remedy for Heart Disease and rheumatism. We
have neither time nor space to do this medicine
full justice; but the public can obtain full par
ticuars IN the shape of pamphlets and circu-
lars by addressing Hunts Remedy Company,
