New YORK, April, 16.-It has been rather
feverish day in Wall street. There were
some indications that the improvement of
yesterday might help prices this morning,
but after q comparatively steady Offering,
free selling of the properties which were so
weak yesterday resulted in still lower figures
for them to-day. Missouri Pacific was again
pressed for sale, declining to S14. Della
ware 81 Lackawanna lost a point and also
Western Union Telegraph. There was an
exception in Northern Pacific preferred. 1t
made small gain and was very stubborn.
1t acted in fact as if it would improve with any
encouragement The better class of stocks
changed but little. The grangers steady,
though the business in them was exceeding
ly light. Pacific Mail became very active in
the las hour and sold below SOC, early it was
quoted at 521Ic. The dividend of only 1 Il
per cent. seems to have been a disappoint-
ment. There was a little doing in Pullman
at $1.11M@1.11 Rochester e. Pittsburg,
on the prospect of having its difficulties arbi-
trated rose from &c to Zoe, and held the adj
vance all day. There was a trade in Alton
at $1.37. The market closed unsettled and
irregular, with little prospect of anything in
the way Of improvement right away.
1t is expected $3.50, 900 in gold will be
shipped Saturday.
A. NJ. Day says: "The market has been
unsettled and irregular all day, influenced
largely by the weakness of Missouri Pacific.
The other Gould properties were lower.
Northern Pacifcs were strong, also the Gran
gers and Lake Shore. The principal business
was in Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific, West
ern Union, Lackawanna and Pacific Mail.
The latter has declared dividend of ~
per cent. The books close on the 21st inst.
Immediately following the announcement
the stock dropped from 50 to 4924. Chatta-
nooga declared 2 per cent. dividend, Its
books close the 10Th inst. Manitoba loaned
at at 1-64 foruse. New York Central elected
the old board of directors. Rochester 81 Pitts
burg recovered part of its decline to 10. The
market closes quiet, without feature.

HARD ON THE STAFF.
A Very Dishonest Brigadier General
About to be Brought to
TASK.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Mr. A. E. Bate
man, of the firm of Bateman & Co., bankers
in this city, to-day filed with the secretary of
war letter, in which he says: cit becomes
my duty to prefer charges against Brigadier
General D. G. Swain, at the head of the bu-
reau ( military justice of the United States
army, for fraud and for conduct unbecoming
an officer and gentleman. I stand ready to
prove that said D. G. Swain has committed
fraud to all intents and purposes
upon the banking house of
Bateman 81 Co., of which I
am a member. Some two years ago, said D.
G. Swain, having deposited the sum of S.,
900, received upon his departure for the west
a simple due bill, at his request, to have in
case accident should befall him. This
amount was checked out subsequent to that
date, by said D. G. Swain, for which we
have number Of vouchers. After having
drawn all the money out and settlement be-
ing made, he negotiated and transferred the
due bill for the full amount with certain
parties in this city. I am further ready to
prove that the said D. G.. Swain
assisted to negotiate army pay

counts. l ask that court martial be order
ed for the trial of the said D. G. Swain, on
the charges preferred. 1 desire, when it is
ordered, to amend this by presenting other
charges under the head of conduct unbe
coming an officer and gentleman.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
A. E. BATEMAN.

Milmine, Bodman & Co. say: ''There is
nothing in the general situation warranting
any material advance just now, the export
demand not having materially improved.
The principal cause for the present frmness
is due to the fact that public sentiment here
in the past ten days has almost completely
changed. Formerly all were bears on wheat.
Now the feeling is quite decidedly bullish,
and what bearish sentiment is left seems to
be centered in corn and provisions, and the
breaks in wheat are for this reason quickly
recovered, and we think now it is unsafe to
sell this wheat short except on
very sharp spurts and the
safer plan is to buy on the breaks.
1t is market, in short, that should not be
fought perSistentlY either way beyond, say &c
and the operator must keep wide awake and
change quickly, although against his convic-
tions at times. We anticipate moderate re-
ceipts Of corn for the next thirty days and
place no confidence in the report from Kan
sas City that Kansas has in cribs ready to
come forward, untold millions Of corn, and
we would not advise short sales Of this corn,
at present prices. We think that July is
now a safe purchase ON any important
break.''
Crittenden & Harvey say: ''We are in
clined to think that we shall see little lower
range Of prices for day or two if the weather
should clear and become spring-like, when it
will do to buy. We understand that charters
are being made to ship some round lots dur
ing the week, and if stocks continue with
healthy decrease, We think we need not ex-
pect any serious depreciation. The market
presents no feature Of speculation interest
so far as we could see. Local operators
incline generally to to the seller side, but
are not very aggressive, and seemed disposed
to take small profits where they could. II
stocks in store should show good decrease
on the opening Of navigation we think we
would experience decided change in senti-
ment here and with better prices. We think
pork and ribs are strongly held, and the
consumptiye demand will prevent stocks
from increasing in all probability. Lard
seems dragging along on its own account
and acts weaker than meats, and the demand
on home and foreign account is reported ex-
ceedingly light. We believe we shall get
lower prices, but would buy If we could get
rapid break.n

EMANCIPATION DAY.

The anniversary Of signing the emancipa-

sion that eclipsed, in all particulars, any
that ever preceded it. It would be diff

line, but it certainly approached ten thou

creditable, and the religious, social and
other organizations were in line, either on
horseback, III carriages, in wagons, or on
foot. The streets were thronged, many
houses were decorated with flags and the city
pres ented holiday appearance.
