2 IN WALL STREET. The Shrinkage in Business Continues. The Bears Renew Their Old Tactics. The Market Weak and Many Losses During the Day. Two More Brokerage Firms Snccnmb to the Pressure—Baring Bros. Will Not Cease to Exist. Associated Press Dispatches. New York, Nov. 18. —The shrinkage in the volume of business which was so marked yesterday made further progress today, and returning dullness indicating that no material demand for stocks was existing, induced more selling by bears, and the tone of the market was weaker than it had been since Saturday, result ing in many marked losses for the day, among which are Pacific Mail, 3 l ._. per cent.; Union Pacific, 2\ ; Atchison, \% ; St. Paul, 1% ; Burlington, 1%. There was a renewal of the old bear tactics of spreading reports reflecting upon the financial standing of prominent tirms in the street, etc. The monetary situation was one of tbe most influential factors, however, in restricting buying. Two failures were announced, and while neither had much influence to lower {trices, they acted as further deterring from buying. The Two Failures. At 10:45 a. m. the announcement was made of the failure of P. N. Gallaudet & Co., stock brokers; liabilities, $100, --000. They assigned to C. E. Minor. The failure was owing to several banks calling loans. The assignee said the suspension was due to a general depression in the val ues of collaterals, which had gone so far when loans to the firm were called, that they could not be met, although the firm have what, in ordinary time, would be amply sufficient to pay bor rowed money. The firm holds such good securities that if the market improves they will be able to pay their indebted ness, and have a surplus left. Mr. Fitch of the suspended firm said: "Of course we hope to resume busi ness shortly. Our being able to do so, however, depends largely upon tlie banks and trust companies. If they are lenient with us, we may come out all right. If they press us, "the termination of our suspension is not so clearly fore seen." At 2:45 p. m. W. F. Owens announced his suspension on the stock exchange. He has no outstanding contracts on the exchange. The Forenoon Market. Stocks during the forenoon were still irregular and unsettled, both here and in London. As yesterday, there was a great deal of arbitrage in business, owing to the great differences in prices •in the same stocks in the two markets. The scarcity of money in this market, owing to the timidity of lenders, was the most important factor in the market. The opening was quiet and irregular without excitement, with prices well sustained. The general list advanced small fractions over opening, with Vil lards in the lead. North American, Northern Pacific preferred and St. Paul were the only conspicuously active stocks, and trading in Northern Pacific preferred was re markable for the transfer of some large blocks. At 11 the market was fairly active and steady, at about opening prices. In the Afternoon. After 12 liquidation assumed larger proportions with a marked increase in business. Material losses were sus tained in all the leading stocks. The feature of the dealings was Pacific Mail, which had been extremely dull during the forenoon, but now became suddenly very active. It was knocked down to 28}k, against 33!.j last night; recovered 2. The rest of the list also suffered severely in a short drive. Union Pacific lost l} 2 ; Western Union, ; Atchison, 1. No recovery of note. At 2:15 the market was quiet but weak at the lowest prices of the day. Money was tight at 3 to 30 per cent. The last loan was at 3. Bar silver dropped down to 98. Stocks in the last hour showed no ani mation. After further slight losses, some recovery was shown, but the mar ket closed quiet, heavy to weak, at or near the lowest prices of the day. The North River Bank. Judge O'Brien issued an order today requiring that cause be shown forthwith why a receiver should not be appointed, pending the suit which the attorney general has brought to dissolve the North River bank. A temporary in junction was also secured restraining the officials from interfering with its affairs. The case was argued during the day. At the conclusion of the argument the judge reserved decision. (Baring Brothers Will Not Dissolve. Thomas Baring, a member of the firm of Kidder, Peabody & Co., American agents of Baring Brothers, said this morning: "I wish to deny in most em phatic terms the statements that Baring Brothers will go into liquidation and cease to exist within a few years. There is absolutely no other foundation for the statements than the Dossible retirement of Lord Revelstoke from the head of the house. To accomplish this there may possibly be a nominal liquidation, but the business of the bank would continue as before, in the hands of the reconsti tuted firm. It is not even certain that Lord Revelstoke will retire, though as he is sixty years old, it ia not improba ble. If the matter has been definitely settled, I, being his brother, ought to have heard of it." Clearing House Certificates. Frederick D. Tappan, chairman of the clearing house, says a considerable amount of certificates were takeii out to day by banks, not with the intention of using them immediately, but for the purpose of easing the money market if necessary. Clearings went through all right this morning. The transactions were very large, aggregating $218,000,000. Stocks In Foreign Marts. London, Nov. 18.—12:30 p. m.—Stocks opened better, but business dwindled and grew stagnant. Stocks closed bet ter for foreign securities; others dull.

Montevideo, Nov. 18.—The premium on gold at the close of the bourse today was 48. A CHINESE LEPER. High Officials of Sacramento Make An Unpleasant Discovery. Sacramento, Nov. 18. —Yesterday af ternoon Mayor Comstoek and Trustee Walfmere were out on a tour of inspec tion of the north levee, and when at a point beyond the old Tivoli garden, their attention was directed to a small, low brush hut which bad been erected be tween the railway track and a pile of railroad ties. The officials approached the hut and were only a short distance from the rude habitation, when a Chinaman thrust his head into view. It was apparent at a glance that the Mongolian was suffering from lep rosy, and the mayor and trustee aban doned the idea of studying the archi tecture of the hut. It is stated that the diseased Chinamen has been located in his present quarters during the day, and would sueak to the city at night for the purpose of securing sufficient food on which to subsist. The attention of the health officer has been called to the presence of the leper. A Bad Smash-I p. Lock Haven, Pa., Nov. 18. —Last night a work train, descending on the Ferney mountain gravity road, broke from control and collided with a loco motive near the mountain's foot, caus ing a bad smash up.

POPULAR INDIGNATION HIG3 IN NEW ORLEANS. Threats of Lynching Chief Hennessy's Murderers — The Prisoners Brutally Beaten—The Italians Aroused. New Obleans, Nov. 18. —Popular in dignation at the weakness of the prose cution of Chief Hennessy's murderers increases, and threats of lynching the Italians in jail are openly made. On the other hand, the Italian population is much aroused over the report that the prisoners have been cruelly beaten. The Italian consul, Signor Carte, has cabled the matter in full to the Italian govern ment, and the GazettaCoratalica, edited by Rev. Father Maneretta, calls for an Italian man-of-war to protect Italians at New Orleans. LAUNCHING OF THE SHIF. The New Cruiser Maine Receives Her Baptism. New Yoek, Nov. 18. —Flags and bunt ing made the navy-yard very bright to day. All the cruisers were in full dress, and the old-fashioned place had a holi day appearance. The occasion was the launching of the great armored cruiser Maine. Just after 10 o'clock, Secretary of the Navy Tracy arrived, with a party, and was received by all the officers of the yard. As he entered the main gate, a salute of nineteen guns was fired from the Vermont. The launching began promptly at noon. Amid the cheers of thousands of spectators and the music of the Star Spangled Banner, the big cruiser started down the incline. As she did so, Miss Wilmerding, niece of Secre tary Tracy, broke a bottle of champagne over the bow and christened the vessel. As the Maine reached the water, and the flag was hoisted, the Vermont's battery thundered out a national salute. FOREWARNED FOREARMED. Train Robbers Fall to Hold Up a Texas Pacific Train. Er. Paso, Tex., Nov. 18. —An east bound Texas and Pacific train was held up last night by four men at Kent.

A Great Increase In Revenues Over Last Year. Also a Large Increase In Expendi tures On Account of Pensions. Important Changes in the Circulating Medium—A Net Increase of $32, --000,000 in Circulation. Associated Press Dispatches. Washington, Nov. 18. —The annual report of United States Treasurer Hus ton shows that the net ordinary revenues of the past fiscal year amounted to $40, --380,982, a sum but twice exceeded in the history of the government; an increase over tlie year before of $10,030,923; of which $11,725,191 came from the inter nal revenue. The ordinary expendi tures were $297,730,430, an increase of $15,739,871 over the year before. The increase is due to the increase in pen sions. The surplus revenues were $105,344, --496, of which $20,304,224 was paid out in premiums in bonds purchased. The receipts of the postofflce depart ment were $61,106,101, and the expendi tures $76,011,263, an increase of between five and six millions on both sides. The aggregate amount for which the treasurer was accountable during the fiscal year was $1,321,774,482. Of this he disbursed $030,247,078 on warrants. Deducting the amounts on deposit with states and various other sums, the amount remaining for which he was ac countable, was $757,915,078. The amount of gold in the treasury in creased during the year from $303,387, --719 to $320,033,145; and silver from $315,160,779 to $346,821,000. Exclusive of the amounts on deposit there was in the treasury belonging to the government on June*3o, 1889, $326. --028,927, and June 30, 1890, $286,384,815, the amount of gold having increased about four millions, while silver de creased nearly nine millions. The liabilities decreased during the year from $127,931,880 to $107.124,715, and the reserve, being in excess of assets over liabilities, ran down from $198,097, --047 to $170,260,097. The total obligations of the treasury •n all accounts were $1,810,678,475, on June 30,1889, aud $1,722,240,163 on June 30, 1890. Not counting certificates of deposit, the debt proper, in the shape of bonds and circulating notes, was re duced from $1,250,043,136, to $1,145, --■100,986. This was effected at a total cost of $124,952,243 for principal and premiums. Nearly $74,000,000 of four per cent, bonds and upwards of $30,000, --000 of four and one-half per c-int. were purchased. Important changes took place in the circulating medium, but of a more fa vorable character than the year before. There was a gain of $15,000,000 in the stock of gold; an increase of $43,000,000 in silver ; a contraction of $26,000,000 in the volume of bank notes, resulting in a net increase of $32,000,000 in the aggregate supply of money. In round numbers the circulation on June 30, 1890, consisted of $505,000,000 of gold, and $414,000,000 of silver and silver cer tificates. A change has taken place in the movement of United States notes. There was a decline of activity in the issue nnd redemption of g 11 certificates. The absorption of legal tender silver into the circulation, in the form of cer tificates of deposit, has been fully up to the means of the treasury for supplying it. There was also an outflow of be tween two and three millions fractional silver dollar coins, which encourages the hope that with good management the treasury, in the course of a few years more, may be relieved of its redundant stock of these coins for some time on hand. Seventy-three banks were discontin ued as depositories during the year. Deposits for the retirement of national bank notes amounted to only $11,000,000. Continued embarrassment has at tended the work of supplying the coun try with paper currency from delays and failure in filling the treasurer's requisi tion for new notes. He suggests that greater flexibility might be given to the currency, if gold certificates of denom inations of live and ten dollars be issued. He urges the necessity of an appropria tion for the transportation of United States paper currency to Washington for redemption. With a trifling addi tional outlay, the country could be kept supplied with clean and fresh paper cur rency, thus greatly lessening the danger of counterfeiting. The treasurer claims that the salaries paid to the officers of the treasury are inadequate compensation for the duties performed, being less than paid in well managed private institutions, and less than paid in the sub-treasury at New York. Gould and the Richmond Terminal. New York, Nov. 18.—President John Inman, of the Richmond terminal sys tem, says Jay Gould has not secured control of that property. He has 100,000 shares out of 700,000, and he is entitled to three or four representatives on the board of directors, out of eighteen. In man says he will welcome Gould's inter est in the property.

Secretary Sewartl's Opinion. I heard a story of William H. Seward the other day which I think is a new one. I am not certain, but I am impressed with a conviction that it comes from Miss Olive Risley Seward, an adopted daughter of the late Secretary Seward, whose Bohemian literary salon is one of the most charming places to which one can have the entree at the national cap ital. It was at the time when there was great agitation of the removal of the cap ital, aud all Washington was alarmed. One of the scared ones said to Secretary Seward, "Mr. Seward, do you think tlie capital will be removed from Washing ton?" "Yes, I think it will," was the re ply. "But where—to Chicago?" "No." "What? Not to St. Louis? Well, where then?" "To the City of Mexico. That will probably be the center of pop ulation of the United States one of these days."—Pittsburg Dispatch. Like Its Namesake. Middlesborough, England, is well known as the great center of the iron trade — a city of 60, CMX) inhabitants, with 180 blast furnaces, and an annual out put of nearly 2,000,000 tons of pig-iron. But there has recently been founded an English Middlesborough in America, which bids fair, if its present rate of de velopment continues, to represent in time as much wealth in gold and iron as the older city of which it is the name sake. Two years ago it had no existence save in the minds of its founders; today it is a city of several thousand inhab itants, aspiring to become the principal seat of the iron and steel manufacture of the United States.—Harper's.

I treated with two doctors for six months; one said that I had heart disease, the other didn't know what to call my disease; either of them failed to benefit me.

For nearly one year I was treated by the most noted physicians of New York City, to whom I paid $25 per day lor medical advice. They failed to prevent me from running down, finally these physicians told my friends that my case was incurable, and that I could not possibly live one year, as I was in the last stages of consumption. Dr Wong cured me in four months' time, and I am as well as any man in the world, and nave worked hard for over two years' time. Nov. 4,1890. C.

Then I took medicine of Dr. Wong, and he got me to ray usual weight and strength in two months, though my friends considered I was likely to die any day for the first week I was in the hands of Dr. Wong, who says that my disease was blood poisoning, which was produced by the operatio-i or butchery I was subjected to. Experience and observation leads me to believe that Dr. Wong lias nc equal as a physician in America. Nov. 2,1890. W. J. ASHLEY, Mt.
