New York. Sept. I.—Speculation at the
stock exchange was quiet, the sales having
a nounted to only 85,000 shares, of which : 4,-
100 were American Sugar. This stock was
again pressed for sale and fell from iOi-q to
Hit’,. Efrons are being mude to force the
stock to a still lower level, and all sorts of
slo tes are being circulated to bring this
about. The prominent sellers of the stick
appeared to te much disturbed as to tue
future of the company, and In interviews are
quite pessimistic. A good deal is being said
about Insiders getting out because of the fear
of adverse legislation in congress next winter.
It is safe to assume, however, that the
present manipulators of the stock will
have changed their position at least a dozen
times before the first Monday in December
and too much credence should not be placed
in the expressions of the bears at this time.
Toward the close the stock recovered most of
its early loss and left oh at 104(4. Chicago
Gas was also heavy and fell 1(4 to 73;'„, the
lowest point of the Week. Reports from
Chicago that the Hyde Park Company had
cut rates weakened the stock, l’ho other in

very firm. Louisville and Nashville advanced

Reading.to 22; Atchison to 7 4 and Western
Union to’ 994. The attendance at the board
was light and the dealings were entirely pro
fessional. The exchange will not be opened
on Monday next—Labor day. In the inactive
stocks, Louisville. New Albany and Chicago
declined 1 s to 28. and United States cordage
preferred rose to I t*. Panhandle common
sold at 184, a rise of 4 per cent for the week.

Chicago, Sept. 1 The start an I tl£ finish
stiong tone during the balance of the ses
s on. the firmer action being governed by the
strength of . orn. Deliveries of wheat ware
quite large for Sept. Ist. the fact being upper
most in minds when the market opened.
The alarm exhibited by corn, shorts banished
every other consideration from the thoughts
of wheat traders aud a prompt chan re in the
sentiment was experienced. Tho-e who
sold, endeavored to r>uy back the wheat they
had parted with, and those who were short
in expectation that the bottom was to fall out
of the market exhibited marked unca-dnes-.
After prices had advanced m >derately, and
whe 1 it imuc apparent tha; the worst was
over in corn, the offerings of wheat became
free a drop taking place as a natural result.
EecemLer wheat opened from si ; B c to 57e,
sold between 57 : 8 c and 5 ’Gc. closing at 56 v ß c
under yesterday, ( ash wheat was
‘2®‘ic lower than yesterday.
< orn—The bulls in corn were sorely disap
pointed at the inglorious manner in which the
market fizzled out today, cor that matter
the shorts were chagrined to think that they
had allowed themselves to be frighten and into
the state of semi panic that prevailed at the
opening, when the price of September was
lifted almost 2c above where it closed yester
day. The other options advanced in sym
pathy, but did not participate to the full ex
tent in the gain for the current month After
the demand from ‘ shorts ’ had been satis.ied,
and when it wa* apparent that there was no
new buying orders on the market offerings
became larger, and as the half session was
nearing the end, corn became a drug and
values lost all the enhancement and in addi
tion declined below the final figures of yes
terday. May opened from 5354 cto 53(*c. sold
between 54c and 52v.c, closing at 53c— ; ,c
higher than yesterday. September closed
J ic under yesterday. Cash corn was very ir
regular. the opening was 14c to 2c higher,
prices declining 1c and closing at the bottom.
Oats—The demand at the opening came
from shorts, who were emulating the a lion
of their brethren in corn. The offerings in
creased later in the session, and there was
less anxiety to buy. so that a decline took
place. The close was under yesterday for
May. Cash oats were firm early but later
ruled easy, and closed about V- under yester
day.
Provisions The opening on product was
strong, commission houses, presumably with
orders to cover, doing the buying. The in
centive came from the buoyant corn market
and from the better feeling in the live hog
market, where prices were up 5 to 10c per 1 0
pounds. Packers offered liberally later in
the day. values settling back with less inter
est being taken in the market. The close was
12?,£c higher than yesterday for January pork.
5c higher for January lard and unchanged for

The Vanderbilt Affair.
From the Philadelphia Press.
New York, Aug. 30 How far the rela
tions of Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt
have been sundered and how far the legal
proceedings have gone are two questions
still interesting New York. The lawyers
in this city who are believed to be counsel
in the case keep mum and laugh, at all re
ports.
A friend of the Vanderbilt family, who
is familiar with most of the details of the
disagreement between W. K. Vanderbilt
and his wife, said to-day:
“The family has long expected that the
whole story would be made public, but
the shock is nevertheless severe. I hear
that Fred Vauderbilt. who has been at
Newport, but who is now in the Adiron
dacks, feels the publicity given to the
scandal very keenly. He has completely
isolated himself. George Vanderbilt is
at Bar Harbor, and Cornelius will arrive
at Newport to-morrow morning. Ido not
believe that any definite arrangements
have been made as yet for a separatiou
between Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt,
although there is littledoubt that such an
arrangement is to be made ultimately.
NOT MAKING A SKTTLEMKXT.
“I have heard that Mr. Vanderbilt has
lately expressed sorrow that the scandal
has reached the proportions it has, on
account of his children, who must suffer
from it. The story that Mrs. Vanderbilt
is to receive (10,0iK),0tX) is hardly to ba
credited, and if it were true, would not be
made public. Mr. Vanderbilt could make
a settlement of #10,000,0€0 upon his wife
easily, as he is worth (135,01X1,000, but he
is hardly in the frame of mind to do any
thing of the kind at the present time.
“I should not be surprised if Mr. Van
derbilt returned to America at any time,
from what I have heard. It is not im
probable that he will arrive here in the
Valiant this autumn. He has little care
for society, and the fact that his return
might embarrass him socially on this
side of the water would not deter him.
It is generally expected, however, that
Mrs. Vanderbilt will remain in England
for some time to come.’’
MUS. YANDIiIUiILT UNPOPULAB.
Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt has been
unpopular socially for a long period.
Winter before last one of the most prom
inent men in town spoke of her as the'
most unpopular woman in society. She
is not'at all lavish outside of her own
family. She does not entertain to any
extent, but likes occasionally to give a
grand affair. A clergyman who is con
nected with the public charities on
: Ward’s Island worked very hard to in
duce her to help a near relative iu a hos-
I pital. whose family was in great need, a
J Mr. Barney of Brooklyn, and she finally
I sent a check for (50. The Barney family
had helped her along before she married
Mr. Vanderbilt.
People say that marble house, the
million-dollar mansion built by W. K.
Vanderbilt at Newport, was ill-omened
from the start. In appearance, with the
massive walls surrounding it, capped
with funeral urns, it is a ghostly mauso
leum. More than SIOO,OOO of the interior
decorations in tapestries were destroyed
by damuness. One of the first incidents
that occurred in the house was of a pain
ful nature. A German governess went
crazy and imagined that she was wailed
in by the white marble.
Mrs, Vanderbilt has two sisters. One,
Miss Smith, is a kindly disposed, practi
cal, single woman, who lives in New
York and takes little or no interest in
worldly vanities, Mrs. William George
Tiffany, her married sister, resides when
in America at 75 East Fifty-fourth street.
Her husband is celebrated as a sport and
whip on both sides of the water. She
j was Mary Virginia Smith when she be
! came the wife of Ferdinand Yznaga and
the story of her divorce and remarriage in
one of the uptown hotels to Mr. Tiffany
can bo easily recalled.
Two summers ago at Newport the com
ment on the flirtation betweeu Mrs. Van
derbilt and O. H. P. Belmont was very
general and very unfavorable, and oniy
the immense w. alth of the family kept
the condemnation down. They were con
stantly together and he was one of the
few visitors constantly admitted to Mar
ble House.
ABB BUZZARD ON THE RACK.
The ex-Outlaw Being Tried for a Score
of Offenses.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Lancaster, Pa., Aug. 83.— The famous
ex-outlaw of Pennsylvania, Abe Buzzard,
who turned evangelist, was to-day put on
trial. He is obliged to answer nearly a
score of indictments for alleged bur
glaries and thefts. Although Buzzard is
only a little past 40 years of age, he has
spent more than twenty years in prison.
Buzzard was put on trial for stealing a
horse blanket. The theft was committed
while Abe was on a religious lecturing
I tour. He denied his guilt when on the
stand, and claimed he never saw the
blanket. He was contradicted by his
wife and daughter-in-law, who testified
that he saw it mouths ago. The jury was
out al the adjournment of court.
The trial attracted a large crowd of
peoplo from all sections of the county.
The court house was packed with one of
the largest audiences tin* afternoon that
it ever contained, and when Abe was
taken from the court house to the prison
van there was a crowd of hundred* of
curious peoplo to see him.
