New York Cotton Market.
A Minister Disposscssed.

Albany, y. Y, July 16.-As result of
a long standing quarrel with his congrega-
ton, The Rev. Julius T. Koehler. of the
German Evangelical Lutheran Trinity
congregation, of this city. has been forci-
bly, dispossessed. He had been dismissed
from his charge by his parishioners, but
had refused to leave the parish house and
had resisted legal proceedings. When the
court ordered his eviction the Rev. Mr..
Koehler tried to put the city marshal on
with story that his wife was i'll. When
this failed to work, and the woman was
found in perfect health, the court officers
had to take up the carpets and carry out
the heavy furniture, while the minister
placidly smoked his pipe on the front door
stoop and watched them toll. 1t took the
court officers more than four hours to re-
move the goods from the house to the side
walk, where they remained all night In
order to prevent further scandal other
ministers of the Rev. Mr.. Koehler's de-
nomination procured another house for
him and had his goods removed to it. Mr.
Koehler says he intends to stay in the
ministry" and that he may so TO New

There is an excellent probability that
there will be at least one or two handsome
railway earnings statements during the
coming week to help the bulls in maintain
ing prices. st. Paul will, as usual, show
immense earnings and a great increase
over last year for the second week of the
month. This showing is always one of
the most effective bull arguments of the
week. Coming, as it will, this week, i'm
mediately after the unofficial statement for
the past year, the figures of which have
been published in this column, it will
probably have more than its usual good
effect Some roads which did not do so well
as st. Paul in May made fine increases in
June Rock Island is one OF these. The
Rock Island statement for June will be
given out early in the week, and it is
certain that it will make a great showing
May, as stated before, was compared
with a month which in the previous year
was abnormal owing to the Letter wheat
deal. The June statement compares on
the other hand with a much smaller move
ment of grain in June year ago. The
Atchison statement for June will also be
magnificent, as has been foreshadowed n
this column. There will be an increase
in gross, but much larger decrease in
operating expenses.

They have been more inactive recently
than at any time before since they have
been dealt in on the exchange Two fac
tors are likely to influence speculation in
the American Steel and Wire and the Fed
eral Steel securities in the near future
The talk of complete financial statement
by the Steel and Wire people to the stock
exchange as a preliminary to the admit
tance of its securities to the regular list
OF the exchange is probably founded on
fact. 1t cannot be doubted that such a
move on the part of the company would
have a most beneficial effect on the secur-
tiles. The apparent sincerity of the Fed
eral Steel Company in its intention to as
sure the common stockholders OF its COM
pany of their dividends this year is also
a most encouraging matter.

KENTUcKY's TOBACCO CROP.
Gloomy Fears That 1t VIII BE Ruined
by Small Insects.

Louisville, Ky, July 16.-There is every
indication that the tobacco crop OF Ken
lucky this year will almost complete fail
ure. 1t has been many years since the out
look was so bad. and there is sure TO be
a big advance in prices within the next few
DAYS From every county in the tobacco
district discouraging reports are coming
At first the only danger seemed to be
from the grasshoppers. and they came in
great swarms. The growers fought the
grasshoppers day and night, and when this
plague seemed to have been exterminated
another made its appearance. This was
small insect that arrived few weeks ago
and is literally cutting the plants TO pieces
No one remembers to have seen it before
and thus far none OF the growers has
been able to find a name for it
This bug is about one-third the size of
the common June bug, and it flies about
the fields eating the tops of the plants.
When the young plants have been eaten
down TO the root the bug burrows into the
ground and begins the destruction OF the
roots. Thus far it has done thousands OF
dollars worth of damage. 1t has been
especially destructive TO the dark tobacco.
Spain, France. and Italy buy nearly all
the dark tobacco that is raised In Ken
lucky, and already the prices have begun
to advance.
1t is only within the past two months
that Spain returned TO the Louisville mar
ket and the growers anticipater big busi-
ness at good prices. As ii is, Spain has
been buying at rapid rate. and the Dons
have secured nearly all the crop of 1898.
Colonel Debo said yesterday; The next
ten days will settle the matter II there
is not a general rain the crops will all be
ruined. The bugs grasshoppers. and the
dry weather, have already about destroyed
the dark crops, and the foreign smokers
and chewers will have TO pay high prices
for the weed this winter. Every day the

There is much talk OF the probability
that the Union Pacific securities may be
taken up shortly by powerful interests.
The other Vanderbilt securities are not

of the big Vanderbilt transcontine1tal

The. action of the executive committee OF
the Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany in dissolving the voting trust, which
has heretofore controlled the property, is
believed to be merely preliminary to the
absorption OF the property by the Union
Pacific Company through an exchange of
stock. This would be simply following
after the amalgamatiOn~ with the Oregon
Short Line and would give the Union Pa
cifc its own line direct to the Pacific

Jackson foresaw that by the methods
already described congress might be won
over to the banks service and even yet
renew its charter by a majority sufficient
to override a veto.
He believed that to that end the bank
would resort to any available means of
corruption He therefore decided to de-
stroy the banks influence at once by
Withdrawing the governments money
(amounting then to about $4,000, 000) from

twice to disrupt his cabinet, but he ac-
complished it. He did not recklessly as
sail the bank. and through it the public

deposits, as the carioatures of the time
have led most people to believe. He
merely ordered that no future moneys of
the government should be deposited in the
bank, leaving the deposits already before
to be checked out as needed in current
transactions of the treasury In this way
Andrew Jackson ended that partnership
between the government and a favored
bank which had wrought so much of polit-
ical mischief and which threatened i'm
more.

bling of the legislature, the State capital

politicians approximating the crowd usual

of the anti-Goebel leaders are fighting

means OF the tangle over the State con-
tests. Blackburn will win for United
states senator with something like the
ease his managers have been claiming for
him So far only two anti-Goebel demo-
Gratis have declared themselves positively
against Blackburn, though it is claimed
there are others who are not outspoken.
The anti-Goebel leaders are not doing
much talking regarding their plans OF pro-
cedure but they are making some strong
claims regarding their strength on the
matter OF the contests. They assert with
confidence that they have majority of
one IN the senate on the contests, and that
IN both houses there are several members
