CHICAGO, May 2S.-There is no particu-
lar change to note in previously established
conditions of trade. AS already remarked. the
movement of goods is moderate and will
probably remain so during the summer
months. The last vestige of war hope dis
appeared when consols were quoted this
morning at 1O0as. General speculation is
about on a par with legitimate trade but
the prevailing tendency is 'bearish. Money
rates are growing easier the world over as
surplus funds accumulate. The Bank OF
England has again reduced its rate of inter-
est from ~ to 2 per cent, in accordance
with the universal feeling. Still, capital
lists are conservative and timid where there
is any risk OF DANGER and SO long as a gen
eral confidence is lacking money must con-
tinue to pile up in bank vaults. The bulk
of money let out on call in this market is at
or under per cent, rather than above it,
but in all such cases the security must be
undoubted and the money would be called
at the least approach Of danger. Time
money is quoted at SOC per cent. New
York exchange was sold from SO to 40 cents
premium, with good outside demand.
Currency shipments to the country were
moderate and receipts therefrOm light.
Sterling exchange steady at $4-S71a@4. 49,.
Bank clearings were Sc, 40S, 900, against

The Ladies' Drawing-rOom club met with
Mrs. E. E. Corliss, Wednesday, with an at
tendance of nearly twenty. The subject
was Emerson and his works. Two studied
and carefully prepared papers were pre-
scented, one on Emersons transcendentalism
by Mrs. w. ID. Parkinson, and on his re-
ligious views by Mrs. j. f. Taintor. j.. 1t
is understood that A. Newman of ST. Paul,
who is just completing a handsome brick
block on Lincoln avenue. in this city, con-
templates the erection of another fine brick
building this summer It will be built on
the vacant lot between Brown & Halls and
E. A. Weatherhouse's stores. twenty-five
feet front and 100 feet deep. Journal:
Again the Journal is called upon to chron-
icle the disappearance of an honored citizen
under suspicious circumstances. These cases
are becoming so frequent of late that it is
suggested guard should be set at each
depot to prevent Them On Monday even
ing Mr.. Fred FL. Wirth of the firm of Topp
Bros. Il Wirth took the late train
southwark. Information later received
is to the effect that he has been
seen in st. Paul and the latest news from
the truant is that he was about to be united
IN marriage to Miss Hattie Sherman, for
merly employed in Topp Bros. & Wirth'S
establishment. The couple will probably
return Friday for congratulations.

changes from closing prices last evening, and
the quotations for the next four hours were
limited to
SMALL FRACTIONS
OF per cent. without any material increase
IN the amount of business done and without
any decided movement in either direction,
except slight weakness developed in Lack
awanna. Lackawanna shows a loss OF 80
per cent, but the other declines are only
from q to 20 per cent, except in st. Paul,
which Is down IA per cent. While the above
description is true of the general market,
there were two or three notable exceptions,
the most prominent being an advance of %
per cent in Central of New Jersey, on we'll
credited reports that the company was about
to be leased to the Baltimore & Ohio railway.
The total sales for the day were 137, l82 shares,
but of to-day's business $4,000 shares con-
sisted of purchases and sales of Lackawanna.
The activity and decline in this stock were
not traceable to any new developments to-
day, but were manifestly the outgrowth of
manipulation. The total sales Of no other
stock were equal to 10000 shares. The state
ment
WAS CIRCULATED
on the street this afternoon that the plan to
sell the bonds in the treasury of the Union
Pacific company, to pay off the floating debt,
has been abandoned, and that letter from
President Adams, now in Utah, says the COM
pany will pay dividend when it can, but it
will not be in July. 1t is understood that the
policy will be- first to settle the floating debt
and then to resume dividends which the
friends of the company say it will not be later
than the end of the current fiscal year. The
stock exchange has adopted a new plan for
the collection and distribution of quotations.
Eight of its own reporters, four at each end
of the room. will collect the quotations and
give them to an operator, who will send them
simultaneously to the ticker companies. The
operators will be stationed in a booth. The
stock exchange in this way seeks to control
its own quotations and keep them from the
bucket shops. The total sales of stocks to-
day amounted to 1882 shares, including
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, $3.50;

The funeral of Mrs. H. G. Herschbacb
occurred on Tuesday. a double wedding
took place last evening at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Legler, their daughter,
Miss Lizzie, being married to Frank w.
Riddell, clothing merchant of Milwaukee
and Miss Amelia to Rev. J. Otto Wiz of
Vera Cruz, Ind. +. The Times says that
while the family were all at work in the
fields, on Thursday. the house of Sebastian
Widmann, in the town of Holding, caught
fire in some unknown manner and was to-
tally destroyed, with its entire contents,
including, besides furniture and clothing,
200 bushels of grain. When Mr.. Widmann
discovered the fire it was too far advanced
to save much of anything. All that was
gotten out was a feather bed and few
blankets. With great difficulty his barn
was saved. His loss is over $500; no in
surance. Charles Conrad of the East side
fell off load. of wood yesterday. The
wagon passed over his body, breaking an
arm and injuring him internally. His re-
covery is doubtful. Mrs. Charles Lethart,

Work of a Vigilance Committee.


A vigilance committee at Nina in Ed
munds county lately interfered with the do.
mestic relations of one 81. Pemford, q
farmer. He has two wives and two fami-
les and was willing for all to live together,
although the second wife is his favorite,
and she made it uncomfortable for the first
one. Pemford had become so tired of the
domestic unpleasantness and of the inter-
ference of the neighbors that he arranged
to leave with No. 2, taking all
the effects and leaving No.
and children but few days pro-
visions and no money. The vigilance COM
mittee came in there and aided his depart
ure with the second Mrs. Pemford, but
leaving all the property for Mrs. P. No. 1.
They were escorted to the train and given
twenty-four hours to leave the county,
never to return under penalty of tar and
feathers. They were advised to go to
Utah.

reputation as wealthy man the bank was
enabled to obtain deposits. The citizens
have generally believed, and justly so, from

they will make it very hot for him.
