A SNAP GIVEN AWAY.


A Compile Confession of n IIoStIcr Who
speculated Some in Diamonds.
EVANSVILLE, IND, Oct. 12.-Diamond
thieves have been plying their vocation
in this community, and IN arrest made
by the police last night led to full re-
velation this morning. A young man
named Hart had been working for differ
ent families as hostler, and it seems that
he was in collision with pawnbroker
named Pollock, who had received about
$1,000 worth OF diamonds from Hart, all
OF which the police took from his place,
and all OF the goods were identified by
some OF our fashionable ladies, from
whom they had been lllched. Both par
ties are held for grand larceny.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.


Trade-The Rise In Wheat.
New YoRH, Oct. 12.-Dun & Co.'s re-
view says: The past week has shown the
influence of speculation and the artif-
cial nature of current prices. Wheat
rose about cents per bushel, broke l
cent in ntwo.daysand gained rapidly, clos
ing II cent higher than week ago.
Corn advanced a fraction but reacted.
Oats have risen ! and coffee about OF u
cent, but lard has fallen nearly cent.
Oil has fallen ! ! cents, and the sudden
advance in hides having resulted in
dullness, prices having yielded ! n cent.
These fluctuations, in the main, without
any reason, in conditions OF demand and
supply, have tendency to retard all
legitimate business.
The Governmentcropr reports strength
ened wheat, pointing to yield of about
4O7 200, 900 bushels by measure. Esti-
mates OF shortage in weight range from
three to eight pounds per bushel, but
flour has advanced from 81 10 for ship
ping grades to - 40 per barrel for pat
cnts, or 30 to 43 per cent. Ii the rise in
the price OF bread, as yet only one-sixth,
leads to fall OF a sixth in the quantity
purchased, the difference would be
greater than the shrinkage in weight OF
wheat Mt the largest estimate. Exports
have been virtually stopped. From At
lantic ports only 276, ,4S5 bushels went
out last week. Meanwhile the corn
crop is estimated at 2,ll0,0OO bushels,
and cheapness OF corn tends to lessen
the home demand for wheat.
The capacity OF iron furnaces in blast
was 10, ,lS9 tons weekly, OF anthracite
and coke iron only, against ia ,G23 tons
September !, and l2S,563 tons n year
ago. The changes in charcoal iron are
probably not large. The markets are
tirmer, and SlS.50is quoted at Philadel-
phia. Bar iron is firm ut the recent ad-
vance and the fact that only S. per ton
is asked in exchange OF new steel for old
iron rails has led to some sales, ofwhich
12 1000 tons arc reported for the Eastern
mills.
Boot and shoe buyers are slow. The
West reports that an advance in prices
cannot be made.
In dry goods there is general COM
plaint OF dullness, and many look for no
change until after the election.
The business failures number 22I, as
compared with total OF 2ll last week
and 900 the week previous. For the
corresponding week OF last year the fig
ures were 2O2.

"and we will not know until u careful

though, that nothing the company could

caused the disaster. We know that
the train lights were all properly placed.

"0n another OCCASION" continued the
gentleman, "a British brig had stuck in
the middle ofthe harbor OF New Orleans.
The owner employed couple of tugs TO
pull her of. They would only take the
job at the rate OF SO much per hour. The
figure was enormous, and then they de-
liberately stuck the boat worse and
killed time by playing with her until
actually their charges grew to such an
aggregate that the poor Britisher could
not pay. Then the robbers had the
Sheriff sell the brig. Such villainy is
practiCed every day Mt New Orleans
upon foreign vessels, and don't see how
it manages to remain respected port.
"But one OF the funniest cases was the
way in which one OF our Pittsburgh coal
kings was tieeCed. An engine on one OF
his boats broke down while at New Or
leans. The section OF machinery was
only worth about $40. The Southern
mechanic charged him $50 for mending
1t, and the municipal government
charged him double wharfage fees be-
cause the mechanic had utilized ten
square feet OF the wharf with the ma
chinery for a week. He resisted this
but the magistrate decided against him,
and two pettifoggers-one q brother OF
the meChaniC-secured $40 in fees each
out OF the costs. That was d rob-
