The New York stock market opened quiet
this morning with prices quite irregular,
but no excitement. Prices were well sus-
tanned. Early in the day the failure OF i.
W. Gallaudet 4 Co.. Of 2 Wall street, was
announced The assignee states that the
liabilities are about 81, 100000. The failure
| is due TO the action Of several banks In call
ing in loans to the firm. They did not
handle small notes. but made spe-
cialty Of placing notes OF $4,000
and upwards. This was mainly dry goods
paper. The relations OF the nrm to Jay
could were very close. They very fire.
quently executed large orders In the stock
market for him, and IL was a matter OF sur
prise In Wall street that he did not save
Them from failure. W. +. Owens also
failed.
TERMINAL AND GOULD.
Richmond Terminal stock was strong on
the rumor that Jay Gould had acquired con-
troll Of he stock in grand scheme 10 make
Southern Trans-Continental line. The
enormous sales OF l25.O0O shares OF Rich
mOnd Terminal last week lent color 10 the
report, which Gould would neither affirm
nor deny. John II. Inmar, the president Il
the company. said: There are I0o,Wo
shares OF Richmond Terminal stock,
and of this amount. Mr.. Gould has pur-
chased one-seyenth, and now owns 100000
shares. The board Of directors consists OF
eighteen members. and the amount Of stock
held by Mr.. Gould will entitle him to three
or four members in that Board at the next
election. regard Mr. Gould and his son
George as trst-class railroad men,
and they will De welcomed in the
present Management. My pr sent
relations with Mr.. Gould are OF
the most friendly character. Our system
has two direct connections with the Mis-
souri, Plcitic-One at Memphis, Tenn, and
the other at Greenyille, Miss.--so ~ will De
seen that the combination OF the two inter-
ests will be benefited. Had the break oc-
Cured sixty days ago IT would have hit the
South hard blow, but, as il is,
the South has not felt II. On the
contrary, the South Is in a more solid condi-
ton than il has been for years. New York
will soon begin 10 receive coal from the
south, and this money will help relieve, To
some extent, the stringency that at present
exists
DIsGUsrRD REPUBLICAN.
One of the wealthiest and best.known
c. Barnes, OF the publishing firm, has
changed his party. Dissatisfied with the
management of local Republicsnism and

CLENELAND'S IN 'o2.
Ex-President Cleyeland's speech at Column
bus on the occasion Of the Thurman banquet
is conceded TO be enough TO convince every
body that he is still tae only leader compe-
tent To command united Democratic sup
port in national campaign. Several New
York Democrats of the spOils variety are
loud in their protestatlons against Cleyc-
land, but they are alone In very big
crowd, and can scarcely make themselves
heard. Cleveland at the head. "a Western
mana strong tariff reformtr Of the Cleye-
land stamp-in second place, and the plat
form of 1888 is the programme victorious
Democrats are already mapping out. a
prominent Democrat, speaking Of the ex-
President, saws: "He will be practically
nominated by acclamation before New
York is called on the roll. The Democrats
of every other State know no one else In
connection with the Presidency. They are
unanimously determined TO nominate him,
even ii he announces In advance that he
would prefer not 10 run. We can elect
Cleveland without New York, but no one
need be afraid that will happen. As soon
AS New York finds out she is not running
this country she will come in out OF the
cold"
HILL AS SENATOR.
II is the universal opinion that IIill
should be Senator and IL after proving there
that he is more than politician, bis states
manship may take him naturally TO the
Presidency. Nearly every Democrat feels
that New York factional troubles can only
be healed by Hill going TO the Senate, and
they believe he will 20. They all now think
the prospects are good for the repetition OF
the old tight OF 1894 In 1872. II ii Is not 10

ticket, it is likely to be Blaine man.
