ASSASSINATED.-1ue 0UOO00 6n0
violent death of Captain Francis
NJ. Pippo, Of the schooner "F. n.
Pippo,'' which occurred last Satur-
day morning, "a full account Of
which will be found in another col
umn,) filed our community with
sorrow, and the first sad tidings
could hardly be credited, until later
news confirmed the truth Of the ter
rible report. 1t is useless for US to
extol the many virtues Of our de-
parted friend. Our citizens, per-
haps without exception, have had
dealings with him almost every
week during the past five OF six
years, and they know, As we'll -
We, that he was always accommo-
dating and attentive to business,
and any favor that was asked Of
him, il in his power, was freely and
heartily granted. He was genial,
kind-hearted. and chivalrous withal.
The circumstances Of his death
plainly show the stamp OF . gen.
tleman and . hero. In the prime
Of life and manly vigor, with a
bright future before him, full Of
hope and promise, he was suddenly
stricken down by the ruthless hand
of the assassin, and for what? Sim
ply because, in the pride Of his he
roic nature, which be it said to his
credit lie could not suppress, he
very properly demonstrated with
his brutal assassin against the
use of improper language in the
presence of ladies. The facts all
Cato show that this WAS the prim-
ary cause that led to his tragic end.
Our community, young and old,
win sadly miss "Capt. Francis."
and they win look with feelings Of
intense i.esrest to sss that his MUIR
aeesr meets his just deserts.

Country Produce-Jobbing Prices. T.
The grape season is at its height this week.
and, in spite of scarcity of other fruits, the
fruit of the vine is as low as it has been for
many seasons Last weeks prices of creamery
butter were reafirmed by the meeting of the
Elgin Board on Monday. Strictly fresh nearby
eggs are shade higher Potatoes are in good
demand and choice stock is moving freely at
outside quotations. Tomatoes are in supply
beyond demand, and markets are weak at lower
prices than have prevailed for a week or two
past. The first frost of the season, which put
in its appearance this week, has had the effect
of bringing larger quantities of tomatoes to
the market than the trade calls for. Hence
the decline.

Especial Wall street wire to W. W. vensel, stock

Although London prices were somewhat be-
low our close, and the bears did their utmost
to use this as an argumen mt to depress prices
and in spite of some hammering at Union
Pacific and Reading during the early transac-
tions, the market has held its own to-day
and developed decidedly strong undertone.
This is all the more satisfactory, in so far as
the entire trading community has been PROM
ised, and has looked for as statement of earn
ings from the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
which would be as unfavorable as that issued
by the Union Pacific yesterday. and consid-
erable OF the former stock has been sold in
anticipation Of the figures to be made public
We don't think that much of the buyng has
been Tor the covering of shorts, and if the bad
earnings expected don't depress prices we are
inclined to anticipate good buying demand
from the bears
1t seems likely to Us that in view of the gen.
eral ldemoralization and timidity of the bulls,
the buyers during the past 4S hours have not
been OF the short wasted kind, and will not
part with their acquisitions except at good
pront Hence, we think we see basis for an.
tioipating an Improvement in prices which will
be more than rally
The loan crowd shows a large uncovered
short interest, and most OF the active stocks
are IN gooo demand. Money rules somewhat
be made Tomorrow. but Is likely 20 be easier
by the end OF the week. One of the
features o the trading was tho strength OF
New York and New England, In which tho
Duylng was very good. and there Is some talk OF
announcer aeaI Ior the acquisition Of the road.
We continue to cling 70 the bull side Of the
market, and believe that purchases at present
.prices VIZ ultimately prove very prodtable.

RIVER INTELLIGENCE.
Meeting May be Called to Outline Plans
for Locnl improvements.

Only a few more days remain until the Board
of Steam Nayigators convene in New York.
AS yet the rivermen of this city have not per-
fected their plans to present measures affect
ing rivers in this section. That the delegation
should urge the consideration of matters
which pertain to river improvements on the
Monongahela is admitted by all. but thus far
local members OF the board have not decided
upon anything. Captain ]. A. Henderson,
John A. Wood, W. W. O'Neil Joseph Walton,
Addison Lysle. Captain w. II. Brown and sew
eral others will represent Western Pennsylya-
mia at the meeting. One of the gentlemen
named suggested yesterday that meeting be
called by the officers here for some day this
week to determine what action the delegation
will take at the convention.
Business on the levee yesterday was fairly
active, only one through boat was in port and
most of the freight was handled by her. Coal
shipments have been suspended on account of
insufficient water, which fell to "a yesterday.

Go-Wheat-There was more demand
and necessarily larger volume of business to-
day and prices were higher, notwithstanding
the news was all more or less bearish, or at
least not anywhere favorable for higher prices
than during the preceding few days. But it is
not the first time the unexpected transpired.
The advance to-day was due largely to appre-
hensions of higher prices by the short interest.
The market, no doubt, has been oversold, and
the good buying to-day by prominent trader
rather developed this feature. Shorts were un-
easy ami covered freely. The opening was NQ
nc higher than yesterdays closing. and there
was steady advance of 1<Gssc more with very
slight fluctuations, then prices receded sac, the
market ruled more steady and closed l15c

operations were principally accountable for the
change.

largely to local influences. The steady buying
by several large operators had good deal to do

moderate scale. First trades were at about
yesterdays closing prices. after which the mar
ket sold up with a little reaction 15g3zc, eased

Oats were traded in more freely and firmer
feeling prevailed. especially Tor May. which ad-
yanced &c under buying by a prominent local
trader, and also by shorts. The advance in May

Luster and La Noris were the only things
which attracted much attention at the stock
calls yesterday. Considerable of the former
was picked up at what some considered q low
figure, but as the principal seller had hitherto
been one of the leading supporters of the
stock, it is difficult to say whether the buyers
captured bargain or not. A hole in the
ground is an uncertain quantity. 1t sold down
to 20, and closed at 1871 bid.
A big block of La Noria went at II cents, q
figure which involved little risk to the pnr-
chaser. Almost any change in conditions and
prospects will be in his favor. A broker re-
marked that this property would be worth
more than Luster within year. He was care
1ul not to say what he based his opinion upon.
Philadelphia Gas was steady, but Electric
was weak. According to street talk the trac-
tons are involved in so many complications in
the nature of combinations and absorptions, as
well as the subjects of such sharp and Increas-
ing rivalry, that investors are afraid to touch
them. Their neglect gives at least a shadow OF
probability to this assumptiOn.
