EUROPEAN FINANCES.

The Period OF Cheap Money APP
prOachlng-Ehe Continental BOur-
ses.
LONDON, August 16.-Discouut is
quoted at II for three months aud l
for short. The consensus Of opinion
is that the end of the period of cheap
money is approaching. Importance is
attached TO the decline of American
exchange, which ia likely to induce an
export Of gold to America, and, COM
bined with the English harvest de-
mands and the progressive improve
ment, presages sn upward movement.
The stringency OF money in New York
is believed here to be fictitious, and
that is attributed to the desire of New
York and Chicago operators to depress
stocks in order to cover "bear" OPP ra-
tons, while the English public have
for some time past been persistent buy
ers OF American ocks. There was a
marked increase of activity on the
Stock Exchange during the past week.
The sensation was the gambling in
Mexican railway shares, which sd-
vanced IA per cent. in two days.
English railway securities were buoy
ant under the influence of better trade
prospects, larger expors OF iron and
steel and large orders for steel rails.
American railway securities were firm.
A confident tone prevails regarding
the future. After every fall and up
. ward tendency asserts itself.

CHICAGO, ILL, August l5.-The fol-
loSipg crop report will appear in this
weeks issue Of the Farmers Review:
The rains during the week, ending
Saturday, ware more general through
out the corn belt than at any previous
time eince early in May, and brought
a modicum Of hope to farmers whose
corn fields were actually burning and
whitening. The reports from cores
popdeuts received during the week In
dicated more thoroughly than ever be-
fore that the total average yield will
be seriously reduced, vast areas hav-
ing been blighted beyond any power
Of resuscitation.
Out Of ninety-eight counties in Ohio,
Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas
and Missouri, from which returns
came during the week, only eighteen
predict full average yield, thirty not

ten indicate net to exceed one-iourth

Use Of three-fourths Of an average crop,
while in ten counties corn promises a
weld of not TO exceed five to ten
bushels an acre, unlt IS for fodder.
The most discouraging reports come
from illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Missouri, while the most encouraging
still come from Ohio and Michigan,
while Indiana and Minnesota reports
continue to indicate fair average out
look.
In Illinois, this week, the only
county reporting the promise of full
average yield is Edgar, while Jasper,
Dewitt and Morgan report the promise
of threa-fourths an average yield. In
Bond end McHenry counties one
fourth of an average yield is indicated.
Throughout Illinois complaints con-
tinue of pastures completely drying
up. Late planted potatoes are gener-
ally failure.
In Iowa, Humboldt county is the
only one indicating full average
yield, and the State at larga will not
exceed so to 60 pr cent of an average
crop. In Decatur and Carroll counties
is seldom a failure. Wheat is thrash
ing out very uaevenly, but the grain
is grading we'll. The yield ranges
from eight TO twenty bushels.
In Kansas Norton and Osborn coun-
ties report promise of full average
yield. The Safe at large promises II

LONDON, August 16.-Rioting has
been resumed in Belfast. From MD
night Saturday night until O'Clock
Sunday morning riff fight was in
progress on The Shankhill road and
and the Old Falows road. One per-
son was killed and many wounded.
The town is seething.
DETAILS OF THE FIGHT.
A dispatch from Belfast says: Sec
tartan strife has required in deplora.
BILE cold blooded fashion. Expert
marksmen this morning conducted a
rifle fight from house tops, chimney
stacks and street corners. Immense
crowds of partisans, who carefully
kept out OF range, were prepared to
assist by supplying ammunition and
removing the wounded. The sides
were equally divided. The moon
shown BRIGHTLY throughout the con-
test. The Orangemen admit that one
OF their men, named MacFarlane, was
killed and that two others, nam ed
Smith and Johnson were mortally
wounded also that there we're numer-
GUS minor casualties on their side.
They claim they killed and wounded
many Catholics, but the latter deny
they suffered serious losses. Many
houses were riddled by bullets. When
ever the military appeared the combat
ants shifted their ground. Finally at B
o'clock, after the riot act had been
twice read the troops charged upon
the crowds and cleared the streets
Temporarily. An old man aud two
women, the inmates of house on
Conway stree, from which many
shots had been fired, were arrested.
They stated that the three men had
forced an entrance into the house and
had remained there all night firing
from the roof. A bowling crowd es-
corted the prisoners to the jail. The
mob yesterday repeatedly fred upon
the police. A tavern owned by a
Catholic situated in Protestant dis
trict was looted. The order instruct.
ing the police to use buckshot instead
of bullets has been cancelled. The
populsce is sullen and menacing.
AN ORANGE PROCESSION,
while passing through the street oil
Widnes, Lancashire, Saturday even
ing, was jeered at by the spectators.
The Ofangemeu thereupon broke
ranks and attacked the crowd. One
of the spt ctators was stabbed and
MORALLY wounded, and two policemen
and number of other persons were
injured.
THE CITY QUIET.
A dispatch from Belfast says that at
2 o'clock this morning the city was
quiet. The priests by superhuman ex
ertious Induced the Catholics TO retire
at midnight. All the wounded were
doing well, except one little girl, who
was said TO be dying.
The Times again censures the Pro-
testants of Belfast for their refusal tC
submit to the authorities.
The Catholic newspapers here sc
cuse the 0rangemeE of commencing
Sundays attack, while the Protestant
papers say that the Orangemen acted
in self defense.
