q distinct increase OF confidence, due
largely to the continuing and heavy i'm

monetary anxiety, and also 10 political

In nearly two months. a slight upward
turn appears in prices OF manufactured
products. The gain in confidence and
in willingness to lend and invest gives
reason to hope that the necessary re-
plenishment of stocke. which cannot be
long deferred, may be liberal enough to
stimulate fair activity in trade and in
dustry.
Corn during the week has reached, at
Chicago, the lowest point ever touched,
20 cents in 1861, and has again broken all
records here, declining TO 25% cents, at
which II closed.
After many weeks OF decline, so that
the average OF prices for iron and its
products was the lowest since early last
year, prices have started up a shade.
The starting OF some woolen mills,

His Questions Often Cause
Embarrassment.
Held a Levee at the Capital
Early This Morning.
Was Then Induced TO Make Trip
to Treasury Department.

wAsHINGToN, Sept. 4. For the last day
of the visit of Ii Hung Chang to the Ma
itonai Capital, rather extensive pro-
gram had been arranged, but this was
broken by the am bassador, who tires
quickly of sight seeing and seems TO find
more satisfaction in personal association
with his entertainers than in the wonders
historical characters. The weather was
gloomy and threatening for one thing
this morning when Ii arose about dawn,
end considering his strong repugnance to
rain, il vas something of an achievement
for his conductors to induce him to go
out OF doors at all. Made aware by the
newspapers of the extremely early hours
kept by Li-Hung Chang, several persons
seized upon the opportunity afforded by
the unoccupIed morning to pay their re-
spects. among them being the Portuguese
min lister and several Off cials. The Viceroy
seemed to be in a most amicabls mood,
hut following his peculiar policy OF do
ing all the interviewing himself he sue
ceeded in extracting from his visitors
much more information than he be-
slowed.
He also made some of the officials feel
uncomfortable at times by EN- oarrassiDg e
leading questions calculated to develop
their political intentions.
After the morning levee was over Ii
consented to make a start upon the days 8
program, and abont $50 he wac placed in
a carriage and with bis personal suite
escorted 10 the treasury department..
