Commercial and Financial Items.
The steamship Alba, hence for Havana. 27th
ulnit., returned yesterday in distress, owing to
bad weather and nature of cargo-eoo mules
consigned to D. Fatjo.
Reports from the famine-stricken districts of
India represent the situation is rapidly im
proving. It is estimated that 750,000 people have
perished.
The over-issue of stock swindle in Philadel
thia continues to be the sensation in that city.
here is something m ysterious about it: nobody
found out yet where the money derived from
the fraud went to and it is hinted that Morton,
the highly respectalle citizen who issued the
stock and sold it. has the bulk of the money se
creted somewhere. The over issue consisted of
,000 shares, which, at io as are,. would yield
O1,000o.,0, douhle the capital of the company.
orton's statement sclu.tnts for only about
. 300,000, and the question is being sherply
asked, where is the remaining $700.ooo? A
rather curious fact connected with the matter is
that the justice before whom the swindlers were
examined released Morton on $1o,o00 bail,
while Nagle and Huhn, his less guilty accom
plices, were required to give $50.000.
We have heard a great deal bhout the suffer
ings of the trikieg miners in the Pennsylvania
coal regions, and it is notto be denied that their
condition is most citiable. But the condition of
the capitalists again-t whom t.e strike is di
rected is not so enviable as mignt be imagined.
A Philadelphia paper says: "The capitalists of
Luzerne county, embracing those outside its
limits who have investments there, have lost
fully a hundred million ddlars by the absolute
failures and shrinkage of values which have
occurred in that region. VW-ry many of them
are utterly hopelessly bhnkrupt; others are
struggling from week to we k to save thenm
selves from breaking under the pressure, and
few are able to pay expenses, much 1 'as realize
a profit on their investments."
The steamboat Gov. Alien brought in yester
t'rdav 5 half barrels of new syrup from Oak
Hill Plantation, parish of East Baton Rouge,
shipped by Mr. Wm. Garry and consigned to
Messrs. Clapp. Bros. & Co.
The steamboat Gov. Allen, which arrived yes
terday, had, besides her usual cargo. 41 barrels
of honey, from the Paurlange Plantation.
The passengers who started out to sea from
the port of New York during the past yea:
numbered 81,000. Of these, one-fourth made
landing in England. The transp )rtation com
panies do not complain of this year's .travel,
though it is not as large as in some former
seasons.
The book trade sale which closed in New York
on Satutd'.y evening was unusually well at
tended and successful.
The Germans are in the majority in Chicago,
according to the Tribcne. whic'h says that that
city contains 100,0o0 of them.
The Board of Trade on the Drum mers' Tax.
The following resolutiln was passed on the
1st inst. by the St. Louis Board of Tradn:
Resolved, That it is the sens-e of the Board of
Trade that the bill re-ently passed by the City
Council and Board of DU lngates taxing com
mercial trawelers is repugnant t the spirit of

The market opened with a better inquiry. and
notwithstanding more stringent pv tensions on
the part of factors the -ales during the morning
reached 1200oobaes, in many, if not in most. cases
at an advance of 4eb, but the d"maod then sub
sided, and although factors evinced a willing

actions subsequently reported ,nly a little ex
ceeded 600 bales, making a total of 1800. while
the improvement manifested at an earlier hour
was partially lost. The closing rates, nevethe

yesterday to require the slight change noted

m ruch time is economized in working a steamer
of the pr-sent day. But it is doubtful if there is
such a feat of skill and management in post bel
Ib records as was performed on board the Cot
ton Plant on her downward trip from Louisville
In September, 1384. The Cotton Plant was con
sidered a large boat in her day. She had four
single-flued boilers, remarkable for their great
diametrical and lineal measurement. It might
therefore be interesting to know how the Cotton
Plant, drawing 48 inches light, was taken over
Cottonwood bar on 3. inches scant. The follow
Ing recollections are very distinct oJ the modus
oiperiat,,b. The whole length of the shoal was
nearly 2o0 feet, with average soundings of 3.9,40
and 42 Inches. but over a space of about so feet
there was only 3s inches scant.
Afttr making these soundings it was conclu
ded to lay up and await a rise, which might
occur in tw, or three months. One of her oftl
cers ent.rtained a different opinion, and pro
posed to her captain to take her over in ten days
with his authority. The proposal was at first
deemed visionary and impossible, but it was
finally agreed that the effort should be made, in
accordsa ce with the projector's plan of opera
tion. The curiosity of every one on board was
excited to know the programme, and when the
proeector gave his first order to the engineer to
break the connections between the boilers and
and stand pipes, and haul them out on
the forecastle, hero arose a general murmur
of disapprobatlon, but the captain before leav
log the boat had given orders that the pro
ieter should be implicitly obeyed, and the
work was commenced. The boilers were hauled
out on the forecastle, and the connection and
bolt holes were plugged with soft pine; four
yokes were made to flt each pair of boilers and
they were then rolled ov rboard and the
yokes placed in position on the ends, and
the boilers hauled under each guard, the for
ward ends lying abreast the fore hatch. Two
pieces wheel arms, twenty fe t in length, were
placed on top of the yokes, and blocks and
wedges were inserted between the beams and
the timbers, and the boilers were thus wedged
down in the water until their surface was seven
or eight inches from the water, which raised
her, with the additional aid of two wood flats,
obtained from a wood yard a tew miles above.
These were placed under each of the guards
loaded with stones and filled with water until
the gunnels were within three inches of the
water. Vertical braces were then placed under
each beam, the length of the seams, and firmly
braced into position. The water was then
pumped out and the stones thrown overboard,
which put the boat on an even keel, or nearly so.
A kedge was let go in the direct range of
two lines b.yous, between which it was
intended to pull. A warp from the kedge led
into the chock, and the boat hauled round stern
to the stream; the warp was then shifted to
midships and paid off until ler bow grounded;
two anchors were then carrld over the bar into
deep water, one backing the other. with a loo
fiot chain cabl, with a hawser to the boat,paid
off from two coils, one in a yawl, the other from
the boat. leaving a couple of turns on the single
capstan. 'the slack was then taken in, and a 70
foot messenger was bent on and taken to the
double cap-tan, and hove in until the hitch
was on board. By this time the boat was
aground from the stem to the after hatch in the
sboalest water.
Two spars were now set with their heels a
little aft and a heavy strain hove on, and a
third spar was then placed 10 fet aft of the for
ward one. By the time a good heavy strain was
hove on this spar. the boat began moving
ahead slowly, ending in a jump of about a feet
forward, tripping all of the spars. The setting
of these spars were repeated, with a similar re
sultsix times, and after that the doubl, luff, and
the doub e c'apstan did the rest of the work.
The whole time occupied in setting the spars
and hauling, was abuut seven hours. Nine days
from the commenoement of this work the Cut
ton Plant was ready to pump up preparitory to
a start. On returning from taking up the
kedgeand warps, which they bouyed six inches
more water was found than before the passage
over the bar.
The Eureka had a stormy passage between
New Orleans and Mobile. The Mobile Tribune
says: "This light draft, stern-wheel boat which
was purchased some weeks ag, by Capt. Walker
for the Alabama river trade, for $4500, has safely
arrived after a tedious and eventful passage.
The boat was out in the storm, lost her anchors,
parted her hawsers, and seemed at the mercy
of the gaie. Sie was driven fast aground on
the marsh near the lighthouse at Bay St. Louis.
Capt. Walker came over here and got new
anchors, hawsers and supplies for the crew
which had been on short commons. The boat
was got off safely and is here all right."
The favorite St. John, being placed in fine
order ready for the season's business, leaves
next Wednesday as a Wednesday and Sattrday
packet to Baton Rouge.
The Dawn, W. J. Behan and Frank Willard
were all at Shortway yesterday, detained there
twenty-four hours, and where but 24 inches of
water was reported. The Behan is due to leave
to-morrow, and if she does not arrived in tirie
