Friday, July Esp. N.

Duness again to-day was the principal feature
at the Stock Exchange, and the raids made on
few stocks, because of that dulncSs, formed the
secondary feature Of the day. OF course New
York and New England in the early dealings held
first rank in the declines. 1t fell 10 Az. but
later exhibited some strength up 70 As SIS. Sugar
certificates in the unlisted department led the
market in volume Of business, but they huctuated
only IS per cent-bctween IS So and - 3-I-and
closed at the lowest figures. But thercJis much
systematized talk Of the difficulties Of the re-
organization OF the Trust. and this continues the
stock a menace to the speculative market.
The fact is there is no difficulty IN the perfect
reorganization Of the Trust into company un-
der the laws OF New York. Another tact is that
the public, after the experience Of the last year,
has no confidence in the present managers meth
DDS at the Stock Exchange. They may be and
probably the best Of sugar rciincrS. but their
game al the Stock Exchange is past finding ont
except on one hypothesis. Does any one be
lleve that if Sugar certificates had not received
a market at tie Stock Exchange and that II they
had not been marketed AZ 100 u l2J, there ever
would have been any litigation concerning the
legality of purely private cOpaTtncTship? Hence,
recognized or unrc0rganized, til the company IS
hands at the Stock Exchange its possibilities are
a continual drag upon general business.
Delaware Lackawanna and Western stock TO-
found to be without special supportnnd with mod
crate transactions its price was marked OF -

worth as much per share as 1t is to-day. ~.

fessonals to-day seemed to be counting on
bad bank statement for effect on to-morrow's
market The bank statement in its figures will
not be so bad rs the predictions; but no matter
what il may be. the Treasury payments for yes
terdays bond purchases Will not count in the
average Of the statement 10 the amount OF
single dollar. Those payments in money will first
appear in the Sub-lreasnry statement Of tO-mor-
row The checks given to-day will be paid in cash
Tomorrow. The market closed dull and steady.
TIE BOND MARKETS.
The Treasury has not published the amount Of
bond offerings yesterday, and SPECTATORS are
using the suppression Of the information as evil
dence that the offerings other than those that
were accepted were small But the sales at tie
Stock Exchange yesterday were az IA per cent
below the figure paid by the Treasury, and thu

CENTRALIA, Mo-, Nov. 4.-The
correspondent of the Kansas City
Sunday Sun, who has been writing
most of the correspondence from
Columbia, Rocheport and Mexico
has been discovered. When Mr..
Strohm, the Sun attorney, went to
Columbia, he was constantly in the
company of a well-known young
gentleman about town, consequent
ly suspicion pointed to him, and
some of the indignant citizens, to
test the matter, sent him a note
charging him as being the author
of the slanderous articles, and gave
him fifteen minutes to get out OF
town. He left on the first branch
train, which proves beyond doubt
that he is the man.
