A Woman FOrgcP.

NEW YORK, June S.-The sensational
suit against Alice Woodhall, who was
brought here from England under the ex-
tradition treaty Il few days ago upon a
charge Of forgery, comes on for hearing
in the United States District court today.
Alice, accompanied by her sister Harriet,
left this city some six years & taking
with them it is alleged nearly $500, 600,
which Alice AYERS was given to her by
John Gill. the well known piano maker.
about n year before he died. Both Alice
and her sister lived in the Gill
household for "A period Of ten years. The
specific charge upon which Alice is ar
raigned and has been brought back from
England is the alleged forgery of her
former employers name to a transfer of
United States government bonds, gggre-
eating in value about $50, 600. Alice
Woodhall is about 40 years Of age and
below the medium height. She is a pro-
nounced brunette and good looking. 1t
is claimed that Alice and her sist n during
their residence with the Gill family OBJ
tanned All undue a~sccndancy
over the doting millionaire and
obtained from him most Of his more
readily convertible property before he
died, then going TO England. The heirs
of the old mans property at once com
mcnced litigation for the distribution of
the remaining part of his fortune. and
made especial efforts to recover the large
sum which it was known had been given
to the Woodhall sisters. 1t is believed
that the charge Of forgery canno be sus-
tanned, and is SIMPLY an attempt to
brighten the sisters into paying back some
Of Gill; money to his heirs.

StanIey's Mission.

LONDON, July 2s.-The opinion is
growing that Stanley Is really the great
white Pasha whose arrival in the Bahr-El.
Ghatel province, at the hesd OF large
force, is agitating the savage mind at Sua
kim and Cairo, and who is setting himself
up as the Mahdi's successor at Khartoum.
Thinking of the best and most expedi
tious means of annihilating the intruder
Englishmen who believe England's fail
fame was tarnished by the failure to relieve
Khartoum cherish the hope that the 70,
nance of Central African annals may cul
inmate in the wiping out of that stain BY
Stanley aud clearing up the mystery Of
Gordon's fate.
The idea is fascinating, but Stanley's
mission Is to join Emin Pasha, aud the gen
eral opinion is that he is too practical g
man to entertain the thought Of ousting the
Mahdi and reigping in his stead. The
more immediate effect of his movement
will be, it is feared, to make more miser
sb!e the sad lot OF the Europeans who fel
into the NahdPs hands after Gordon's
death, and mos. of whom are still in cap
tiyity at Khartoum.

A OF TRADE.

The business record OF the last week tells
an almost uniform story OF trade depression
resultant upon the diversion OF public atsen
ton from business to politics. Transactions
in nearly all lines have been restricted to the
supply Of urgent requirements, but consider
ing the disturbing influences at work, the vol
ume of trade was very fair. Commercial con-
dirions are unchanged and indicate the devcl-
opment Of an active business during the next
few weeks. The failures daring the last week
throughout the United States and Canada az
gregated 226, q decrease Of 40 from the total
of the preceding week.
The anthracite coal trade has been ~unfavor-
ably ailec5cd by unreasonable weather, as
well as by the political excitement Of the
week, but the market is IN good condition and
an early renewal Of activity is expected. Con
tracts for upward OF 10000 tons Of steel rails
have been placed during the last fortnight,
and orders for between 10000 and $4,000 tons
more are under negotiation. The iron trade
generally is "A little more active, and a more
hopeful feeling p~eryadcs The market.
A reduction Of 80 per cent. in the Portu-
guese import duties on wheat has enabled ex-

speculation have combined 10 strengthen
prices about ] cents pr bushel In New
York aud fracticnslly ia otter markets, but
there Is no activity In the trade at any point.
The crop movement is fair, but receipts at
primary markets for the week were smaller
than for the preceding week, aggregat!ng
only 2, ga 600 bushels, as against 4,3S3,O0O
bushels for the corresponding period last year
Corn prices have advanced . TO 80 cents per
bushel in consequence OF a lighter interior
movement, a good export demand and The
prevalence OF weather conditions unfavorable
for the curing and marketing OF the new crop.
Prices Of hog products have iuctuatcd within
narrow limits, and the trade has rulei dull.
Exports for the week were but little more
than half as large as they were during the
corresponding week last year. Packing Ope-
rattons at western centers have been compar
atiycly small, owing to the limited receipts OF
hogs.
