Bishops Give Parnel No Quarter.


LONDON, July mir. Parnell's marriage
has not helped his cause as he and his friends
confidently hoped it would. The action Of
the Irish bishops in reafirming their declara-
ton that Mr.. ParnelI was unfit to be the
leader of the Irish people shows that no quar-
ter will be given him by the clergy. This IL
considered to be a final blow to Mr.. Parnells
cause, and the reception which he met with
at Carlow shows that the people have ceased
to pay any attention to HIM.
At Marshall, it may be added. Mr.. Parnell
addressed q meeting at which only thirty peo-
pie were present. Archbishop Walsh has
written q letter to Mr.. Thomas Sexton, NJ.
p, expressing the greatest gratitude for the
service rendered by Mr.. Sexton and his col
leagues in parliament during the discussion
Of the Irish land bill. The archbishop says
that although they did not WIN success at
every point, they still gained enough to
redeem the bill from being rather q curse
than blessing to Ireland.

Brz1u, July 7.-Intervievs with coal oil
dealers q Berlin, both at wholesale and re-
tail, shows very general opinion that the
Standard Oil company, having absorbed the
big importing houses, will now try to gam
control of the jobbing trade and then of the
retail business IN Germany. Every step is
taken in exact conformity with the law. and
the remedies to be proposed arc likely TO
prove only temporary and inenectuaL ~ %
Generally believed here that even the Roths-
childs will have to yield to the American
company.

They will be transferred to the Omaha

Topeka Journal; For several weeks
it has been generally understood in
railroad circles that on July LIST Assist
ant General Passenger Agent s. F.
Boyd would be removed to Chicago
and that the general passenger office
here would be closed; but to-day it is
learned that the Topeka Office is not to
be closed, but Maj. Tom Anderson, at
present general agent has been appoint
ed assistant general passenger agent to
succeed Mr.. Boyd, whose title is to be
first assistant general passenger agent.
The first intimation Major Anderson
had of his promotion was when he re-
ceived telegram summoning him to
Chicago. It then dawned upon the
Topeka officials of the road that it might
be that Major Anderson was to succeed
Mr.. Boyd, and this idea was confirmed
by a telegram sent out of Chicago an
nouncing the appointments.

Desperate Attempt to Wreck a Train.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, July Am attempt
was made to wreck the north bound "steam-
boat" train that leaves Hartford at 9:35
o'clock at the south end of the bridge over
the culvcrt half mile this side of Wilson
station and five north of here, on the consol-
idated road. The engine, going at full speed,
exploded large dynamite bomb. The glass
of the head cab was shivered, but the train
kept the track and no one was injured. The
explosion tore off foot of the lower part of
the rail, smashed the guard rail, broke a
granite capestone on the culvert and blew
the ends of the ties off. There is no Glow to
the perpetrators.

Summary of the Past Weeks Business.
NEW YORK, july 6.-R, e.. Dun & Co Il

Summary of the Past Weeks Business.
New YORK. July 6.-R. q. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says:
Everything waits for crops. It is there
fore of first Importance that crop prospects
have never been more uniformly satisfac-
tory at this season than they are now. In
other respects the general outlook is in the
main unchanged.
While the volume of business represented
by clearing house exchanges outside of
New York is about 9per cent less for the
last week of June and about 10 per cent less
for the month than last year, there IS pre-
vailing confidence in the speedy recovery and
expansion of trade. Reports from interior
cities show fair, but in many respects, wait
ing trade. There is better demand for mill
iron at Plttsburg.
At Cleveland trade is improving; at Cln-
cinnat:' active; at Chicago wheat receipts
are five times that of last years, wool and
hides nearly double. and grain appears in
better demand, but there is loss of half tine
uncured meats and dressed beef: of two
thirds in lard; of quarter in corn and cheese
and some decrease in oats, barley and rye.
The DRY goods trade equals last years, with
prompt payments, while trade in clothing
and shoes much exceeds last years.
At st. Louis improved slightly, at st. Paul
gratifying. There is confidence because of
the marked improvement in crop prospects at
Milwaukee and at Omaha. Trade is strength
enlng in the south.
Coal has been advanced by dealers, but in
dependent dealers make no change. Tin
lower at 2O.40 and copper at 115s for lake,
with lead in moderate demand. Sales of
wool at New York, Boston Philadelphia and
Chicago for the year thus far aggregate 1884,
LA. 126 pounds, against Ia, 81, 059 last year,
with some increase in domestic, but larger
increase in foreign.
Trade IN breadstuffs has not been especially
active, though wheat declined below 81 per
bushel, rising again little within the past
few days, and corn and oats are slightly
stronger; cotton unchanged, notwithstanding
improved crop prospects. The exports of
domestic products from New York IN June
exceed last years by about 81, 900, 600, and
the course of the market favors q heavy
movement in breadstuffs.
During the past week the treasury has paid
out only as much money as it has taken in,
though the disbursements for July / have
not yet been reckoned on.
The money markets appear on the whole q
little less easy, though the rate on call here
has ranged during the past week between ~
and per cent.
The business failures throughous the coun-
try the last week number 237, compared with
234 the week before and 199 for the cores
ponding week last year.

s.m,-Annual Payments Completed.

,Semi-Annual Payments Completed.
New YORK, July 3.-The Post says another
curious development in the market made an
abrupt change in the course of stock prices.
One of the most important exchange houses
appeared unexpectedly in the market as a
seller of sight bills. This depressed sterling
rates 1t once and will in all probability prevent
a further export of gold this week. especially
as remittances for July payments on the
other side are now about ended.
