NEW YORK. April ll-Henry Clews'
weekly financial circular says:
The course of affairs at the Stock ex-
change, for the next few months. is likely
TO depend principally on the following fac
tors: % The prospects Of the crops: {2)
the course of the money market; 60 the
course of the foreign exchanges; a. the
action of our own and foreign govern
ments in respect TO the restoration of sill
yer; 90 the movement of our securities
held in foreign countries; and (6) the condi-
tion OF domestic trade.
AS to the first of these conditions, all is
vet in the future. All that can now be
said is that winter grain has withstood
successfully the adverse incidents of
weather and storm. and that the spring
opens with good prospects for that part of
the wheat crop. For the rest, all must de-
pend upon the uncertainties OF the
weather of the next three or four mouths.
Ii is to be remem bered, however, that the
large stocks OF agricultural products still
on hand from last years crops amount,
for all practical purposes, to the same
thing as an assurance of liberal harvest;
for the slsckening OF the European de-
mapd for our grain and its falling price
show that the wants of that part of the
world have been largely satisfied; aud we
shall therefore enter the next crop year
with surplus so large that. even should
our crops prove light, we shall have ABOUT
an average supply available for export.
This is an assurance of no small value to
the country at large and especially to the
railroad interest.
In respect TO the loan market, scarcely a
doubt is entertained in any quarter as 70
the continuance Of the prevailing ease
throughout the summer. The low prices
of wide range OF products diminish the

TORTURED BY THIEVES,

HoLLIDAYsBURG. Pa. April 1l.-Early
yesterday morning three masked burglars
entered the house of John Daily, an aged
soldier, to steal his pension money. When
he refused to give up the cash they bound
his hands and feet. tied him TO a chair, and
began to torture him. They stabbed him
in the neck with knife and held lamp
under his ear. burning that organ to a
crisp. The old man still refused to di-
vulge the hiding place of his money. and
one of the men Knocked him senseless
with revolver They then ranascked the
house. chopped up the floor with n hatchet
and tore the plaster from the walls, but
did not find the money. They vented their
chagrin by kicking their bound and sense
less victim.
The men then went to the house of Mrs.
Oliver Mcdowell, an aged women, dragged
her from bed, bound her in a blanket.
gagged her, and tied her to the bed post.
They then began to torture her TO make
her tell where her money was. They
jabbed knife into her skull repeatedly
and one OF the men struck her in the left
eye with his revolver. destroying her sight
in that eve. 1t Is feared that she will die.
The robbers got no plunder, and left no
clew as to their identity.

The CHICAGO REDS.

CHICAGO, April ia grand interna-
tional eight-hour demonstration will take
place May l. 1t is estimated that mem
bers of trades unions, Sociaiistic societies
and their sympathlzers to the number OF
10000 will march through Chicago's streets
on that day The great crowd will gather
at the lake front after it has paraded the
city and dozen speakers will crate in
English and German on the wrongs OF
society in general and the benefits of the
eight-hour law in particular. The latter
arrangement hinges, however, on one pro-
viso-if Chief of Police McClaughrey will
permit speechmaking on the lake front.
He will also have something TO say as to
the color of the flags carried. On neither
subject has be yet been approached by the
leaders and they are somewhat in doubt as
TO his Willingness to allow the demonstra-
tions in those particulars.
The committee having in charge the ar
rangements has issued a circular In Ger
man and English to the trades unions of
the city, calling upon worklngmen every
where to furnish practical illustration of
solidarity and union. The English portion
of the circular is particularly mild in tone,
but the one in German is decidedly An
archistic. Translated, portion of it
reads:
I'm no city of the world is the working
man treated as he is in Chicago Capital
and the police have secretly conspired to
give labor its death wound. All efforts on
the side of labor to better its condition
will be violently opposed. All means are
in the hands of our enemies. But if we,
the working classes. resting out strength
in the national constitution, vote TO incor-
porate au eight-hour law in the constitu'
tion of Illinois, in order to secure an eight
hour day as was done in 1886 when they
shot US down like wild beasts or if we
celebrate day in honor of our fallen
brothers, then they will strike us down
and shrink back from no bloodshed. They
provoke the working classes to the eX-
tremity, and it is only attributable to the
apathy of the workingmen OF Chicago that
in the last five months blood of men and
children has not been shed.
1.-The demonstration this year will,
therefore, be of two-fold character-iu ad-
vancement of the eight-hour day, and an
open protest against the oppression of the
workingmen of Chicago by the police.
Therefore, workingmen, rise en- masse.
Freedom from the political and eco
nomic yoke can only be obtained through
your efforts.

The WYOMING RuSTLERs.

DOUGLAS, Wy, April ia telegram
from the sheriff of johnson county to
Sheriff Campbell of Converse county
states that a fight occurred between the
stockmen and the "rustlers" on the
Powder river and directs him to arrest the
fugitives. Under these directions the
Converse county authorities have stationed
guards at all bridges along the Platte
north and west of here and also at the
river fords. The mail carrier on the route
between Buffalo and Douglas came in this
afternoon. He reported having heard two
fugitives at Felterman returning from
the reported battle. Two deputy sheriffs
were sent out after the fugitives. The
men had stopped at Mr.. Werner's house at
Felterman. They wanted to exchange
their horses. which were badly winded, for
others. Werner refused and they pushed
on. One man was badly wounded
in the arm. The deputy sheriffs
followed their trail for several miles south
of Werner's ranch A short distance out
they found a coarse piece of muslin satur-
ated with blood, which had evidently been
rolled into plug and inserted IN bullet
wound. There were evidences of drops of
blood on the ground. The fugltives left
the road when several miles above Douglas
and their trail was lost. Werner said that
the men would talk but little, but said
that they were with the outfit that went
north on Wednesday. He thought that
they were either MeXicans or half-breed
Indians.
The telegraph line from Douglas to
Buffalo is working, but an intermediate
telegraph Office near Ross is in the hands
of one Of the factions, and no messages
have been allowed to come through this
afternoon. Casper, Glenrock and Douglas
have large number of small ranchmen
on the streets anxiously waiting for news
from the scene of trouble.
Kid Donnelly of Powder river crossing
brought word tonight that Two ''rustlers,"
Nate Champion and a man named Ray,
were killed yesterday on Powder river.
Donnelly reports the ''rustlers" flying in
every direction and attempting TO escape
from the country. When Donnelly left
Powder river crossing there had been no
casualties in the stockmen's party.

PARDRIDGEs VICTORY.
The Chicago Wheat Bulls Again Put to
Rout by the Bears.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE world seemed
TO turn on its axis today for the sole bene-
6t of one man-Edward Partridge of
Chicago. News worth Ito him) hundreds
of thousands flashed in from London, from
Washington, and even from far-away ports
On the Black sea. After day of wild ex-
ritement on change the famous plunger,
tmpassive as a stone, stood on the floor of
the board of trade receiving the frantic
congratulations of his brokers, informing
bim that he was richer by at least half Il
million dollars, and that, acting for him,
they had pounded down the price of wheat
B cents on every bushel. His enemies, who,
&c was said, had formed combination n
few days ago to compass his ruin, were
themselves made heavy losers and put to
utter rout.
The galleries throughout the day were
iammed with sightseers, including many
ladies, all eager to pick out of the yelling
crowd the man whose extraordinary
gambling was causing all the turmoil
The scene during the latter part of the
session was the most exciting that has
been witnessed in many a day. From S515
cents May wheat dropped, by bearish
news. by big jumps, TO sos. and finally
closed at S01s cents. This is 2Ss cents be-
low the close on Saturday night. From
the high point to the low figure Partridge
makes 5 cents per bushel, it is supposed, on
his ten-million short line, or what amounts
10 a gain of half a million dollars. Over
aud above this, it is estimated that lie
netted considerable on trades on the
fluctuations. He was the heaviest buyer
and seller, and apparently must have
made pot of money out of his scalping.
During the final moments the excite
ment was at such a pitch that the specta-
tors in the galleries, losing all control of
their feelings, shouted with the brokers at
every slump in the market. The bears
went wild over their success, and the men
VINO had it in for Pardri6ge-some OF
them, at least-joined in what amounted
TO a general ovation 10 the bold operator.
Everybody expected at the opening to see
the shorts pushed hard, in consequence of
the depressing government crop estimate
sent out from Washington on Saturday
afternoon. The first disappointment &c
the bulls was the cables, reporting lower
foreign markets and big failure in Lon
don. If anybody had been expecting
Partridge TO run in, they were quickly un-
deceived, for, on the contrary, his brokers
were among the most aggressive sellers
right from the start, and kept on selling
all day. showing no fear even on some oi
the widest bulges. The London failure
which had such q marked influence was
represented as that of prominent grain
firm having grain interests in America
and India

The little corporal had just finished
breakfast and was picking his teeth in

mud in his hair dashed frantically into

sit is not easy to forecast the course of
the foreign exchanges for the next lew
months. For the last month, the tendency
has been towards an increase of our i'm
ports aud decrease of our eNports-whlch
is n distinct change from the course
of the preceding months. The truth is
that the depression in Europe has checked
the demand for our products
in that part of the world,
w hile on the other hand low prices abroad
and necessity among foreign producers to
sell have tended to swell our Imports
In this way, the anticipated effects OF our
extraordinary crops have been thwarted
and we have been exporting gold when we
expected to be importing it in large guam
titles: it remains TO be seen how much
farther this tendency will run during the
spring and summer. Very much no doubt
must depend on what may be done IN re-
spect to the silver question and on the
effect of such action upon our securities
held in Europe.
1.-The course to be taken by the leading
governments in the way Of establishing
upon a broad international
basis is perhaps by far the most important
factor at present affecting the financial
markets of the world. The chances of
efficient action being taken perhaps de-
pend chiefly upon the attitude assumed at
the beginning by the parties initiating the
conference. Too distinct formu-
latiOn OF objects and methods might
easily prejudice the chances for getting
the governments together, and much
diplomatic prudence may therefore be
required in the first steps. 1t
would seem, however, that there
is more than n fair chance for the
calling of a conference; for the favorable
of England is unquestionable
and the president fthe Bank of Germany
has declared that Germany would follow
in the matter; and the cooper
tion of those two countries heing assured,
all other really needful alliances would
follow AS a matter of course. 1t is hardly
needful to say that the success of such a
conference would give an impetus TO con-
fidence and to enterprise the whole world
over, and in no country more so than IN
the United States. The effect wouid be
espec; ally important as means OF restor-
ing foreign confidence in such of our Sc
curities us are not made payable specifi-
