The Called Three Per Cents Disturbin
the National Banks.
WAsHINGToE, September 23d.-fpquir
made at the Treasury Department to- day i
regard to the published statement that til
National Banks are being greatly disturbe
by the calling in of the three per-cen
bonds, which form the principal basis c
their circulation, it was learned that sey
eral of these institutions have given motto
of withdrawal from the system, and tha
others are trying to have their called bond
retained as the basis for circulation, pre-
ferring TO forego the interest altogethe
rather than risk buying four and four an
half per cents at the present high pre-
MUM. 1t has always been held by tn
Treasury Department that when bond
cease to bear interest they become unavail
able as basis of circulation. This ruling
however. has lately been contested by som
of the banks, and the question has been re
ferred to the Attorney General for his opin
ion. Until this opinion is rendered tn
Department must of course adhere to it
practice. In many cases, however, bank
whose bonds have been called are deferrin
their replacement, expecting apparently
decision allowing those bonds to remain
In the meantime the Comptroller of tn
Currency, the Treasurer and the Registe
are so busily engaged with replacement
and Withdrawals that it is not considere,
likely that the Department will be very ex
acting with banks that have failed to sur
render their called bonds A letter was re
ceived to-day from leading finaDcier c
New York, suggesting that as the exchang
of bonds will lock upa good deal of monel
just at this time, when il is in great nee
in the moving of crops, it would not b
well for the Government to force banks be
yond a reasonable degree of diligence il
substituting other bonds for called threes
1t is understood that the question will
left open until the return Of Attorney-Ge
eral Garland, who is expected back abou
the first of next month.

Sacramento Fruit in New York.
New YORK, September 23d-A specia
fruit train arrived on Tuesday from Sacra
mento, loaded almost wholly with grapes
many of which were not in good condition
The Tokays in good order brought 81 SOC
2 IS per crate, and Muscats from 81 $50
2 so, with occasional sales of some fey
fancy lots 25 cents per case over thes
prices. Pears remain unchanged, and ar
selling mostly at 81 25 for fall and 50 500
2 IS for winter. Ounces bring from 81 Z
to 81 70 per box. There are very few plum
arriving, and are selling at $1@1 25 pc
box. The weather has been unseasonabl,
warm and damp for the last few days, ant
it is thought this is the principal cause 70
the fruit not arriving in better condition.
The Hop Market.
New YonK, September 23d-In hops
very fine lot of lis bales of 1885 States wa
sold yesterday to an interior dealer at l;
cents cash. The quality was above averag
goods. They were lot recently shipped
from Europe. and were here on consign
ment. Whatever may be the facts as t.
the cause of selling at so low q price, ther,
is no question L e transaction exercises mo
an,,., =
market, coupled, as it is, with reports O
more disposition to sell on the part of som,
few spectators who have goods in stor,
here, on the basis of this trade. The very
best goods cannot be quoted at above 2;
cents. Local dealers generally are sitting
down on the market, and brewers prefer
giving 50 cents for passable 1886 English
hops to paying % and 25 cents for first-clas:
1885 States. The first carload of the new
crop of California hops was received by
Euchtmann. The quality is very fine.
Cattle Men In Council.
CHICAGO, September 23d.-The State Live
Stock Commission held a long meeting
with closed doors this afternoon and even
ing, and discussed the disposition Of cattle
afflicted with pleuro- pneumonia in the
Chicago distilleries [dairies?1. Governor
Rauch, of the State Board Of Health, took
part in the proceedings. Several veterin-
arians and the State Veterinarian were
present J. B. Sherman, President of the
Live Stock Exchange, Elmer Washburr
and the Exchanges attorney, Mr.. Coy, also
attended. The latter three admitted thai
whether the sickness was contagiou;
pleuro- pneumonia, as veterinarians had all
decided, or something else, it was unques.
tionably a dangerous disease, and one that
should be exterminated. 1t was agreed
that the only safe thing 10 do would be tc
DESTROY all animals thai had been exposed
or were affected.
During the discussion it was developed
that should the 5000 cattle now under
quarantine be slaughtered and either
cremated or sent to rendering establish
ments. the expense would probably reach
800, coo. An additional $4,000 would be
required to replace the sheds, if burned
To cover this outlay of $l50,000, there is
only available an appropriation of $4,000
Governor 0glesby stated that the sum in
hand could be exhausted and he felt con-
fident the balance could be depended on
from the next Legislature. 1t is not yet
decided whether the carcasses of the well
cattle will be sold to the markets or render
ing establishments. DR.. SaIman says the
Government will contribute
toward compensating the owners.

fused to make any change in the law re-
garding dismissals of certificates, and re-
fused to adopt receipt card to be used in

cial committee be appointed to prepare and
