MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

A slow but steady improvement in iinan-
cial and commercial matters is said to have set
in. The proceedings Of Congress are watched
daily by the whole business community with
an earnestness thai has dEarfed almost every
other subject now. The prompt repeal of the
silver purchase law. il is claimed, will be
signal for the resumption of trade operations
that are now held in check, and it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that there will be a rapid re-
turn of business activity all over the country.
IN NV York yesterday the stock market was
very dull and the Opening Eeak, but it be-
came steady later. The premium on currency
almost disappeared. The sub treasury in that
city paid $S11, 900 in gold on checks pre-
scented over the counter. Money on call was
easy, ranging from TO 6, last loan and
closing offered at .. Prime mercantile paper
Sale per cent The Philadelphia stock mar
ket was strong. At the Baltimore Stock Ez-
change Yesterday most of the business done
was in city securities. The national bank
note circulation has passed the S20GOOnOOo
mark. The increase during the month has
been more than S12,O00,o00, aud since
January LIST more than $50, 100000.

On the front of the first car in the train

KrssTNoEv, Oct 3.-As Is usual In the
case Of aged convalescents, it is hard to de-
termine from one day to another what
Prince Bismarck's condition will be. It u
certain that his last illness has left perma-
nent marks upon him, and it is doubtful
II he will ever recover his usual health and
strength.
His progress towards recovery has been
again retarded by the entire failure Of his
appetite. He will now scarcely touch
food.
The reports that he had suffered an at
tack Of paralysis are borne out by the fact
that his right hand Is apparen tly COM
pletely useless. He salutss with his left
hand, and is even compelled to sign his
name with that hand. He has aged In looks
very much since his sickness, and In
appearance is very decrepit. IL 10 impossi-
bic for him to enter or leave his carriage
without assistance and whenever he goes
driving two men servants help him in and
out Of the vehicle.
The prince complains that he il afflicted
with pain day and night. Altogether he
is much broken.
Count Herbert Bismarck, the princes
son, says his fathers illness was brought
on by his taking half hours bath when
the temperature was twenty eight de-
grees Reaumur, and afterwards standing
bareheaded for fifteen minutes receiving
the dsputation from Frankfort that visited
him on August 81.

FOOTBALL AT BROWN.

Capt. Hopkins Denies tho Statement
About His Coming to This City.
The Brown university football team
continued its regular practice yester iay
afternoon. Colby and Dsnnison played
at o. a, while Casey paye; end on
the second eleven. Millard was out
again, hut did not play as well as
usual. Danovan at quarter played great
game aud made a number Of fine tackles.
Robinsop, Wott. Aldrich, Millard, III p
kins and Hastings made good gains. The
main practice was bucking the line. The
team proved weak In aggressive work and
were given chance to improve in this
direction by lining up the eleven on the
five yard line AMI giving the bali to the
second eleven Notwithstanding
the heavier rush line of
the first eleven, the second
eleven went through for several touch
downs. The work OF Emery and Nc
Carthy on the second eleven was very
good. The intereferencs OF the backs is
still weak and the tackling OF the Whole
poor. Wott is playing a good game and
S NTH and Hastings are getting
down to work. Aldrich is improving as a
ground gamer, Coombs, at ce tire. is still
slow and allows men 10 fool with
the ball too much. Robinson
il getting into shape rapidly
but still plays with too little life Nil
lard is altogether too weak in aggressive
work and seldom makes a tackle.
Considerable talk has been excited by
the following article published in Satur-
days Boston Journal:
Captain Hi key was today confron ted
by another matter that made him very
wroth. was the statement recently re-
ported in the papers as coming from Hop.
rs, one OF Brown university's hired
athletes. Hopkius's career AS college
athlete is familiar to most readers. He
frat stated that he was Yale man when
at Andover two years ago, and
that he was coming tn Yale sure. Last
fall he went to he University of Penn
sylvania aud then, about Christmas,
shifted his affairs and landed at Brown,
where he now Is. He has, this fall. to-
gether with two other men who weat to
Brown from Andover, ben accused
of receiving money to go to Brown.
He now admits that he received $500
year and room rent In one Of the dor
mitories at Brown. Hopkins adds, how
ever, that be ore he went to Brown Cap
tain Hinkey offered him 800 to comeIo
Yale. Captain Hnkey brands Hopkins's
statement as an out and out falsehood.
Hopkins is captaio OF the Brown football
team this fall.
The writer OF the above article is en-.
tirely misinformed. Hopki IS cims TO
Brown directly from Andover He never
entered the University OF Pennsylvania
nor was he ever in Philadelphia. That Hop.
kins made the alleged state ents is en-
tirely false according to Capt Hopkins
own word. Nor is it at all likely
that Capt. Hinkey made the state
ment attributed to him. Football
usage at Yale does not tolerate it, and
only Walter Camp or Casper VIII hitney
can SPEAK authoritativeIy. The article was
evidently written by one entirely
ignorant OF the subject In hand
