rdspfns* to the.sharp declines in the fu
ture* market*, together with decidedly
more favorable reports as to the condition
of growing crops, the local market de
clined to the exteet of the advances on
yesterday. The decline in futures v.* s
brought on partially by the weaker advices
from Liverpool, which where largely due
to the better crop news sent out from the
South. It begin# to look like sentiment
to some extent has taken a slightly bear
ish view about the damage to crops, which
until to-day. hai been reported from many
sections of the cotton belt to be quite
heavy. (
The market for spirits turpentine opened j
firm at 4SVJ cent*, and closed firm and un
changed. There was a good demand for 1
supplies, and the transaction* were sulfi- ■
etelM to indicate that the market was in
strong position. Roslna were firm at the
decline of S cents on all grades, which
wa* reported at (he opening. The whole
sale markets were steady, with no
changes of consequence reported The

A DAY Ot HECKOSIUiG IP.
New York. Jim* .*-W • w*y. tt was a
day of reckoning lor overload traders
in Liver [loot. New Orleans and on the
New York Cotlcm Exchange. The stu
pendous rise of 41 point* on July yester
day, a fitting capstone to the most re
markable advance on record, was followed
this morning by a sheer drop of 2! points
The later options showed corresponding
records from the perpendicular uplift of
the past few weeks.
Liquidation wss sadly the main feature
of speculation, though short selling was
much In favor early in the session, crop
reports were still very bullish
In the last hour the market was quiet,
with values up from the bottom on real
ising by last night’s sellers. July closed
9.71 c, then rallied to 9 78c, August opened
off II points at 9.48 c. then fell to 9.33 c. ad
vanced to 9.49 c, and then fluctuated with
in a range of ten points.

DRY GOODS.
New-dork, June 30.—The week ends with
a ’! y developments at first hands
while jobbers in dry goods arts now wait
ing for the arrival of buyers who are not
expected until after the Fourth at least
and who probably will not get down to
earnest work much before the middle of
the month.
In staples no material price change has
occurred and business continues within
very narrow limits. The print market is
depending upon the action of the FaU
River Conimiue, having reached the level
to which the reduction in print cloth has
forced it.

STOCKS AND RONDS.
Dullness Follows Bull Movement of
Yesterday.
New York, June 30.—T0-day’s stock
market showed clearly that operators in
stocks have resigned themselves to a pe
riod of waiting and dullness following the
abortive bull movement yesterday. Deal
ings were on an insignificant scale end
the market was almost immovable during
the greater part of the session. The droop
ing tendency in the wheat and cotton mar
kets had the effect of stiffening quota
tions for some of the railroad 3tocks
which opened depressed on the score of
probable erbp damage. Prices had dropped
back somewhat when the appearance of
the bank statement caused some covering
by room shorts. The market was, how
ever, so feeble that there were some reces
sions, making the close irregular and very
dull.
The loan item of the bank statement
confirmed the forecast of those dispatches
that the liquidation of sterling loans was
probably keeping pace with the demand
for new loans to provide for the July 1
settlements. This i the only possible ex
planation of the decrease in the loan ac
count ot .$1,557,300. The increase in cash
of $649,200 also fulfills the expectation that
some of the week’s, requirements for cash
had already been anticipated in last week's
bank statement.
With the semi-annual settlement period
thus comfortably tided over, the confi
dence is reasonable that the disbursement
after July 1 of the large dividend and in
terest payments will Insure an adequate
supply of loanable funds to meet the
coming demands for the crop movement.
The bond market has furnished a better
index than the stock market of the com
ing ease in money and continued firm to
day as it has been all weak.
The total safes of stocks to-day were 63,-
600 shares, including 8,435 Atchison pre
ferred and 5.550 Sugar.

Tlie Irish biiulrcnrehy To-ilay.
From the Gael.
A hint Is said to have been given lo
leading members of the Irish aristocracy
that tinir ires'cce in Dublin during the
Queen’s virlt would be appreciated It Is
n w a great many y ari S nee Ma-la
K g w rth wrote he- fameus story, "The
Absentee," which gave rise, probably, to
'he conundrum once In every one's
moufh. "Wha* Is that wh'eh makes trea
son reason and Ire and what It Is?’ The
; brent "t.” But he abs r t e'sm has eon
tl u and. Amcng the grandees there a e but
few who Ike ihe Duke cf Abcrcorn and
l ord Di fferin, make their Irish home
thel- rh ef pine of residensee.
Of late ie.vs t ie squ rear by hav’.fr m
roe ons Inclgi le en utb. ni gra id
la-gfly to Dublin and Its neighborhood, a
'ir'inrs a-oe to which Is due the great
g ow’h o' the BUbuibs n the Kng t wn
aid whe e P mtr ke owns tlie Bel
*ra .lacf th Iri h cap til. The Irish
squ’re who ran no longer afford to en
te tain ne.uraily finds life wdb’n easy
re<.ch of Dublin more agreeable than In
a remote country hou*e. Except in the
C ut.ty Kildare ard a fiw other favored
districts here Is now scarce any bojpi
tfity. The jovial *cc a' life deplc ed by
Chari'S I < ver came to a cloae with the
s ablD'-ment of the 1 cumbe ed es ate*
court. The days of an Irish gentleman ar*
now ve:y dull.
—A very interesting and curiously happy
coincidence Is r ported by a divisional
forest officer of the central provinces of
India. The maie bamboo tree*, of which
there are immense fores s in these sec
tions. began recently for the f1r.,1 time
so far as any competent observer knows
the exudation cf a sweet, gummy aub
stance, rich In sugar, which Ihe famlne-
Ktrtckm natives lave found viry palata
ble and ore consuming In cons drrab’e
quantities In lKu of other food The sub
s ance, known in India as vansa-ioc’ ana
ad to Fur pears ss rala hi , which Is
taken from the Inside of the bamboo
s< ms Is quite ad fferent compcund. c‘m
posed largely of silica. The new sub
etance is th ught to depend for Its sweet
rei* on a saccharose, very similar. If not
Idem leal, with our ordinary cane sugar
The bambccs end sugar qanss belong lo
the same natural order of grastrs. and P
is not at a I surpr el g that they should
yield a similar sweet substance suitable
for food.

day*. Aa previously reported the vessel
is leaking, nnd will have to be either haul
ed out on Ihe marine railway, or heaved
dewn in order to muke the necessary re
pairs. As the vessel is chartered for u
cargo of naval stores, and has already
been delayed considerably, it is likely Ihe
work of repairing her will be pushed
rapidly to completion. Wjlllam Kelly ft
Son have given estimates on the work,
but It in not understood arrangement*
have yat been mode to have It done.
Transfer of G. A A Freight.
The transferring of local freight of the
Georgia and Alabama from Its receiving
warehouses between Barnard and Mont
gomery streets to this terminal property,
will be done by the Smith ft Kelly Com
pany. Two large covered lighters have
Just been completed for this purpose, and
It is understood others will be covered
shortly, which will give the company live
lighters, with which to carry on the work.
This will give every facility for the prompt
and satisfactory handling of tile local
freight. It is understood the company hae
entered into contract to transfer ioeul
freight for six months. General Manas r
Gabbett stales that at the expiration of
this time the company will either arrange
to transfer with its own bouts, or renew
its contract with tiie lighterage company.

LAW SLITS L ASTING CEN TV RISC.
Cases In Which Generations Has

From Tit Bits
If. as the pr-verb saya, ’’Fcole and o$
a lnate mm make the lawyers rich,
France may especially pride Itself en fo
ly and stubbornness, for three Frdnc
law-suits have together occupied a perk
many years longer than the Chrtetta

It is little more than fifty years Ag
that France saw the conclusion of a U
salt which was txgun in Ihe early das
of ihe thirteenth century, when John w
King of in lun i. and when the ’Mxgu

no less than 63S years. \ , J
Forty-four years later. In 1254, two et!

them, have lasLd nearly thirteen ceotf
rles. in io.h cases the citizens of Caf*
pan, who must have a mania for lltlga
ilon. were the plaintiffs, and the defent
ants were the inirabt ants tf ncighborin
towns and villages, while the subject c

forests.
Com; an and with these forensic veterae
a lawsuit which has survived five ceott
rles only is compara Ively a callow youtl
hut, as it is still fijurishlng tltofe *ft
hop's that it may yet qualify for a plat
among ’legal Methuselahs." Russia is ta

Some year* before Oliver Cromwell wi
born, when Good Queen Bess was stilt t
the throne of England, the good people 1
Burgelan, in Bavaria, commenced an s<
tion against a neighboring Baron for tt
recovery of a large foresr which had.
cording to their views, been wrongful
taken from them. For more than thri
centuries Hits case has dragged It* weal
length through Bavarian courts, and ht
brought grist to the mills of ten geaeri
tlons of lawyers, and still It i‘emasna 4
unsettled as w hen it began its cent at
march. • v’ < ; , J
Just at the time when Cook wax alar
trig on his first journey round the wor4
atxl while sVordworth and Scott wore ta
even ready for the cradle, a HtMgarla
bishop died in’estate, and hundreds <
clamorous relatives claimed his largo
tales. Litigation commenced, but eras d<
layed for some years owing to the dk
turbed condition of Hungary, which wi
Invaded by the Turks, and when at hit
the coruts got a. chance the numbor t
claimants for the B.shop’s property he
reached 1,000.
A century passed, and the family fee
was still being fought out In the cofirt

Ihe pitiful remnant of 12.900 wag dlvtdt
equally among the claimants (now nun
hiring 2.000), each plaintiff receiving
pound as his share. The eloquent morv
of this case 1b that of every {l2 of it
original estate fll went to the lawyers i
il only to the relatives*—from which
would appear that It is better to be’
lawyer than a litigant.
BHII. on the whole, the claimants ma
consider themselves fortunate In reaculn
even o sovereign apiece from the nanC
of the spoilers, for In one memorable caw
"Barker vs Dawkine." which struggled 0
tor nearly half a century, Ihe legal m
chlnery was only finally stopped when
had absorbed the last penny of the dir
pufed estate. So true It la. as Lot
Brougham said, that "the lawyer lea get
tlemen who rescues your estate from yet
enemies and keeps It for himself." |
