THURSDAY, August 10 =. M)


On 'Change to-day wheat opened firm but quiet,
with moderate offerings. Winter is scarce and in
demand, the market closing with fair export in
quiry. Flour is more active upon slight arrivals
and small stock. The market closed steady, par
tcularly for medium and high grades Of extra. Cot
ton was tame and dull at 2oAc. for low middling,
and 21t4c. for middling. The interest on the
street was most largely attracted by the applica-
ton Of the new tariff, which went into operation
to-day. Elsewhere will be found particulars of
scenes at the Custom House when the importers
commenced to get their goods out of bond. The
point is worth stating here, however, that
TIE LARGEST CUSTOMS RECEIPTS
ever recorded at this port were obtained to-day,
amounting to $2,31s,0OO. This is but the
commencement of this rush upon the Gus
tom House, 1t being physical fact that the clerical
force there is not equal to the work OF discharging
the bonded warehouse for days yet. To-day they
surprised not only themselves, but the merchants
but this was only spurt for which preparation
had been made. Tomorrow or next day they will
be fatigued and some delay in delivery must be
expected The principal point outside Of its effect
upon gold connected with this sudden movement
of merchandise is


FPS INFLUENCE UPON THE MONEY MARKET
Two million three hundred thousand dollars of
duties represents large amount OF goods. When
these goods are drawn out of bond OF course, they
are to be distributed. This will agtate capital,
transportation will have to be paid for, although
from the promised reduction OF the freight tariff
this consideration is not materials but, with the
maturing of notes due upon delivery, and the gen.
eral movement that will result therefrom, in con
necon with the meeting Of contracts, it is safe to
expect some excitement.


GOLD 115H.


Gold touched 115S to-day, natural consequence
of the conditions above mentioned. The customs
receipts to-day were the largest ever received at
this port upon any one day BEFORE but the circum-
stances were exceptionable, hence the excitement.
If Congress had only made the 1st OF July the day
on which the new tariff would go into operation
they might have saved the business community
from the present agitation but the 1st Of August is
so near to the busy season that merchants are
anxious to get hold of their goods as soon as pos.
sble in order to meet their orders The rates paid
for carrying were 2, and per cent to nat. The

gard 10 Btsmarck's Persecutt0ns.


A London correspondent has had an
interview with Archbishop Manning, the
head of the Roman Church in Great
Britain, respecting the action of the old
Catholics in Europe and Bismarcks
course regarding the Jesuits. After
justifying the doctrine of papal infalli-
bility and the conduct of the Jesuits, he
went on to say: Princes have allowed
themselves to become jealous of the
power which alone has divine au-
thority over them They do not seem
to see that a right of despotism must
still be exercised by some power. II it
is not the Pope, it will be the mob. I'm
less Princes are to be held superior to
all laws, a deposing power must exist
somewhere in the world. By denying
the exercise of that power to the Pope,
rulers have become parties to its trans
fer to their own subjects. It is for them
to consider whether they have benefited
by the change. The Old Catholics
with whom Bismarck is acting, knew
perfectly we'll that while the Jesuits are
among the most active and most earnest
members Of the Church, they are at the
same time most misunderstood by those
who do not hold the faith.


1T might not be safe TO assail too
rudely the general body Of the church,
but in attacking this particular portion
of it the approval of prejudice and err
ror may always be assured. The old
Catholics are opposed to the dogma of
infalibility. The Jesuits were known
to have been active in its support.
The old Catholics are now OPP
posed to the Church in its en-
tirety. The Jesuits have ever been
among the foremost teachers of the
Church's authority. They have been as
bold to proclaim those truths as they
have been patient to suffer for them.
There is still danger that mobs may be
found to perform the old work of the
executioner An ignorant population,
with its passions artfully excited, and
with all the advantage to its employers
of an evasion of responsibility, might
do many things we now think to be in
credible"

The proverbial cleanliness Of the new

filed dish of salad, beating his inflated
cheek alternately with his right and left
hands, and pouring from his mouth into
the dish gushing spray of mixture
of oil, vinegar salt, pepper, egg yelk and
mustard, and then, with his tapering
digits, mix the whole still further to
make it ready for the table. The house
keepers emotions naturally caused her

the place or the way to vindicate his

THE Taylor's Falls Exporter waxing de-

will be removed late for any material benefit to
this section of the st. Croix Valley.


We have never had the honor of seeing
Mr.. Gushing, but Judging from a portrait
of the gentleman lately published in one of
the illustrated papers, we should say that
if the size and set of the lower jaw is any
index of tenacity of purpose, Mr.. c. ,could
be rather slow to change any plan he had
once formed. But, like other men, he can
be moved by his own interest. \ railroad

portance of securing an Immediate airline
