OF Wall Street -chs, Advance Ia Foreign
Excbapge-WheAt aA q Factor.

OF Wall Strest t-rhs, Advance Ia Foreign
Exobauge-WheAt ~ q Factor.
New YoRK, Dec. 22.-The absorbing
topic Of interest In Wall Street to-day has
been the advaLc. in the sterling bills,
reaching the point at which shipments
can be ma1e at a profit, 81 0Ol for posted
rates and 81 50! for actual busincss. There
was an engagement for 100000 OF gold
this afternoon for shipment on Saturday,
and it is generally believed that further
shipments will be made. The Immediate
cause for this advance has been the
advance In the Bank OF England rate OF
discount last week, but more direct and
potential cause is to be found in the,ex.
tremely light shipmentsof Of grain to Europe,
especially wheat, while the visible supply
OF wheat in this country Is far in excess Of
previous years.
MaIchauts who are familiar with the
subject also say that considerable ouan.
tily OF cotton WAS sold last July by tho
planters, deliverable in % days, and that
when the deliveries were made there was
considerable advance in the price OF spot
cotton which gave considerable dissatis-
faction to the planters and led them to
hold the stock then on band for higher
prices, resulting in limited amount OF
cotton bills on the market at present. 1t
is claimed. however, that this will have
the effect OF tteadiness on the market
throughout the winter, as shipments Of
cotton will be made continuously in mod
erate amount. The rate for sterling bills
are now about the same as they were at
the time that shipments here made in
April and May, 1854. A break in the
price Of wheat, it is generally conceded,
would lead 10 the substitution Of wheat for
gold in the future settlement Of our trade
balances with Europe.

the Chapline street rink every evening
this week, commencing this evening, the
Harrisburg, Pa, telegram says: The sub.
ject OF an illustration in 10 days telegram
is modest gentleman oil arcs.rved d.spo.
sition and the friends he made during his
engagement which ended las. evening at
the State Capital rink, are couated by
hundreds, and it's no exaggeration to say
Mr.. Aginton richly deserves all the encom.
iums the public lavish upon him. No
skater has ever visited this city who leaves
with more admirers than the subject OF
this sketch. Robert J. Aginton enjoys the
same quiet and unostentatious distinction
on the roller skating surfaces Of the United
States that IL. by common consent accorded
to the veteran Lester Wallack on the high
comedy histrionic stage. Prof. Aginton
gave four exhibitions at the State Capital
rink in this city last week, which were
naryels OF grace and difficult execution,
and were greatly appreciated by the large
audiences present on each occasion. It
has been aptly said that what SAlvini Is to
the drama, Campanipi to the opera, Ter.
quin to the ballet, SO ia Aginton to the
art OF skating. Prof. Aginton, (the only
man who holds this title, it having been
conferred upon him in France) is the in
structor OF tie following well.known
skaters! Miss Carrie Gilmore, Mips Jennie
Houghton, Miss Hattie Harvey, Misses
Cora and Gertie Jackson and many others.
The peculiar features about Professor
Aginton's skating are his wonderful ease
and grace, ahd the astonishing command
he has over the skates. No movement
seems too difficult for him to execute and
his performances are marvels Of grace and
beauty, unex tmpled by the greatest in his
profession. The Professor is ready to re-
ceive and will accept any challenges that
may come from the best skaters in the
world.
