CONDITION OF THE MARKETS

Excessively Dnll Trading and a Lackadaisical Feeling in Speculative Circles. Iwaitinjr the Movement of the Northwestern Crop "Bears" Continue to Expect an Early llovenient Further Slight Declines. MONEY, STOCKS AND BONDS. Dull Trading: and Extremely Narrow Fluctuation at New York. NEW YORK. Aug. 24. Money on calliras easy at 22 per cent. rrime mercantile paper S11 per cent. Sterling exchange dull hut steady at at $4.Si for sixty-day bills and $4.87 for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day "vrere 54,653 shares, including the following: Atchison, 2,400; Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, 4,550; Erie, 1.S00; Missouri Pacific, 2,100 Northern Pacific preferred, 3.000; Heading, 4,900; El chmond and West Point, 4,010; St. Paul, 625. The action of the Chicago roads to cancel all proportional tarifls and to endeavor to find some other way to meet Canadian com-. petitiou, which places matters 'back to where they were before the lato sensational cut by the Chicago, Burlington Sc Northern, was the occasion of a somewhat better feeling in the stock market this morning. As the London figures were again higher the opening prices in this market were generally from to per cent, higher than last evening's closing figures. The temper of the professionals, howercr, was still conservatively bearish, and the foreign buying orders were met by further pressure from the traders, which made for a short time a little animation in the market. This soon died away, however, and after elieht further gains the market reacted, and most of the list were again brought down to a shade below tho opening prices. Kichinond & West Point was the only really weak point, thonghit was followed later by C, C, C. &. St. Louis, the latter losing 7s and the former 34 per cent. This weakness was partially in anticipation of another bad bank statement, but after the issue of that document a better tone was apparent, and in most cases tho slight fractional losses were recovered. The ll actuations were entirely without significance, and the operations of the day rettected only 'the whims of the bourd-rootu traders, of which there was a slim attendance, The close was very dull and steady at about opening prices. The final changes were in no case for more than a small fraction, and almost invariably in tho direction of higher prices. There was tho usual dullness in railroad bonds, the sales reaching only $03,000 and the trading was as usual entirely devoid of feature of any kind. There was no perceptible movement among the active issues and the few important changes were confined to the bonds which are only traded in from time to time. Gulf, Colorado A Santa Fe fimts lost 2 at 1004. The sales of bonds for the week aggregated only $4,0GG,00O, against HOW.OOO for last year. Government bonds were dnll and steady. States bonds were entirely neglected. Closing quotations were; Four per ct. re p.. .128 Four per ct coup.. 128 Four and acs re jr.. 105 Lake Erie A West. 18H L.E.

TRADING AT CHICAGO. the Ups and Downs of the Market with the llAngo In Prices) of Leading Articles. CHICAGO, Aug. 24. There was a tamo closing to as dull and uninteresting a week in the wbeat market as has been witneased since the new crop began to move. Fluctuations in speculative values were narrow in the extreme, as news was so scarce that there were no disturbing inthiences. Local operators were more inclined to even up their trades than to put otit fresh lines, both sides being quite willing, apparently, to await developments in tho Northwest The near future of the market will undoubtedly hingo on the character of the movement of the new spring crop out of first hands. Tho "bears" are counting, with great assurance, on a general letdown in the markets as soon as the weight of Northwestern wheat is felt August wheat was fully as weak as the more distant futures. Speculative trading was almost entirely local and largely in December, which firmed up d 14c early, then broke lac, and closed practically at the bottom, oratTTtiTTV, which was below yesterday's closing prices. Corn was fairly active and weaker, lower prices being established, and the feeling was but a continuation of that developed several days ao. The weakness was duo to the report regarding the growing crop, and the lar:e receipts. Trading wan quitacting at times, and ther was considerable doing in tho way of changingselling September and buying Oetober. Cables were dull aud reported a limited demand, and domestic markets showed declines of k'1-. Tho day's arrivals were about as anticipated toncerning tho receipts by canal, and estimates for Monday aro placed at 1.400 cars. The speculative market opened at yesterday's closing nrices, was steady for a time, but soon declined 'C. rallied tojc, bemdio inactive, and closing hG'xc lower than yesterday. Oats were fairly active but unsettled. ".Shorts" bought August and September, and cave them such good support that prices only receded VSr kc. The more deferred deliveries were ottered with increased freedom .and developed pronounced weakness. Prices declined hC, and the market closed quiet at about inside ligurcs. A quiet and comparatively

firm feeling prevailed in the market for hog prodncts and tho changes in prices were slight Toward the close, they were advanced somewhat and closed hrm. Speculative offerings were light and the demand from all sources was limited. Tho receipts of hogs were moderate, with sales at a further decline, and tho reports from domestic aud foreign markets favored buyers. The receipts of products were moderate, and the shipments of all kinds quite heavy for the closing day of the week. Trading was mainly on local acconnt. Short ribs ruled .K'y'a.&tc higher. The leading futures ranged as follows:

A Qn let Day In Trade Circles, with No Chances in Values of Importance. IXDIANATOLIS, Aug. 24. In most departments to-day trade was rather quiet; but few buyers were in, and the salesmen in the wholesale houses were taking matters easy. Dry goods men, however, look for an early and active fall trade, basing this belief on the activity already noticeable in this market. No important changes in prices are looked for, as it is believed that in the next few days wool will take on a firmer tone, and this means a stiffening in prices of dry goods generally, although no advance of importance needs be expected, say the oldest merchants. Grocers, taking the week as a whole, have had a good trade. Tho distribution of sugars is very large, and tho slight advance in prices of the past week rather increased the demand, as tho retail merchants stocked up more freely, fearing higher prices. Coffees carry a firmer tone but the roasters are disappointed. The predicted advance in roasted coffees in tho early part of tho week did not materalize. In the produce markets there has been a good deal doing all the week. Eggs are Bcarce and firm at quotations; however, a break in tho market in a few days will not be a surprise to commission men. Poultry rules firm on, light receipts. There is a scarcity still otf good butter, and our best quotation is readily realized. Choice apples are in good demand, the market is Hooded with inferior apples which sell low, bu a cood cutting apple readily brings 2.50 a barrel, 7hilo inferior stock sells as low as $1 a barrel. Peaches are not as plenty and aro selling at a shade better prices. Jfoine choice one-third bushel boxes sold to-dav at 85 cents, but 75 cents is the ruling price for really good fruit. Pears aro plenty, and the same is true of tomatoes and prices are weak. Lemons are firm on a good, demand. There is still much complaint of tho poor quality of cantalenps and. even watermelons aro not as satisfactory in qualitv as usual. Those coming from the southern part of the State the last few days are, a decided improvement over those which have been shipped in here from a greater distance, lllackberries are about oil tho market. GRAIN. Keceipts of wheat are exceedingly light, not meeting the milling demand at home. To-day there no cars were Inspected, owing to the sickness of inspectors. Business was, therefore, very much interfered with. There, was somo trading on sample stuff that indicated a fairly good demand, although at easier figures. Wo quoto: Wheat No. 2 red, 74a'75c; No. 3 red. 70 micx rejected, C3'264c for poor, up to bTa Oo for choice samples, the ruling figures being 05G7c; unmerchantable, 55257c, according to condition; August, 740. Corn ILcceipts posted to-day, none; yesterday, 1,800 bushels. Offerings of corn continue heavy and market very llat.

The market Is very heavy and dulL Old oata fell in a small way to local jobber; now are very slow sale, shippers being tho buyers.

Shippers are bidding $.S per tou for spot or August shipment Local dealers are paying $3.5029. Hay and Straw Receipts posted to-day. no cars; yesterday, 1 car. Shipping demand small. The local demand is active, owing to the small stock. A few cars, however, would satisfy this, and then we may expect an easier market.

ITEMS FROM THE CAPITOL. Restoring the Building and Campus to Their Normal Condition. Matters ' at the State-house, yesterday, had. roturned to their normal condition after the excitement which attended the celebration of the corner-stono laying and the reception of President Harrison. Cjuar-termaster-general Pope has removed the tents which ornamented the east and north fronts of the grounds adjacent to the armory. "I guess about a thousand slept in the tents," said tho Quartermaster-general, "judging from the looks of tho beds." Inside tho building, custodian Tim Griffin and his assistants Hverolremoving the bunting from tho hall--ways and getting ready to remove the bandages which swathed the rheumatic legs of Mercy, and encompassed the blunted sword of Justice, on the outside. "I wish you had seen tbo peoplo that were in here day before yesterday," be said. "There must have been a million of 'em, and they tramped tho usefulness out of tho matting up stairs whero they went in to look at the halls of the two houses of the Legislature." On the porticoes the cannon still frowned under their decorations, but by to-morrow the last trace of the celebration will probably be removed and the monument work there will be confined to the office of tho commissioners. . A Company Under Arrest. ' Adjutant-general Ruckle has placed all the members of tho Indianapolis Light Infantry Company, except Captain 8cott, Lieutenants Lowes and Conde, Bergeant McCrea and private Lowes, under arrest for refusing to appear in fatigue uniforms iu the parade of Thursday last. The trouble grow out of the fact that the Light Infantry men had dress suits, and wanted to wear them. The otDcers refuged to take them Into the parade unless they obeyed orders and put on fatigue suits, and consequently they did not march at all. A court martial will follow the order of arrest, and meantime the defendants are prohibited from participating m any company Dusiness or entering the armory. Liefaclng the Monument. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument Commissioners, who are closing up the accounts of the corner-stone ceremonies and would be glad to have all bids presented by Monday next, are apprehensive that advantage will be taken of the opportunities furnished visitors to deface the monument. An unsuccessful effort to carry off a pU oe of the corner-stone was reported yesterday. Tho fence about the structure has been replaced, and the public is asked to assist in preserving the work on the monument unmarred. ltedy for the September Interest. There is llttlo doing in the Treasurer's office these days, and the only departure from the routine in the Auditor's offloe yesterday was the sending of warrants for $10,500 to pay the interest due on the 4th prox. on $700,000 of the States three-and-a-half per cents., $600,000 of which are held by tho German Savings Bank of New York, and $100,000 by tho Dime Savings Rank of Brooklyn. Governor Ilovey'a Movements. Governor Hovey has not returned from Elkhart, where ho went to attend the unveiling of the soldiers' monnment, and it is probable he will go direct to Milwaukee to attend the O. A. R. encampment.

Reynolds is said to be living. In the Circuit Court, Flla P. Kolleman petitioned for a divorce from William Kolleman, alleging ahandodment and cruel treatment. Whipped by Ills Wife. i:mmet R. Baker was arrested yesterday afternoon for assault and battery. He is married, and lives at No. SO South Tennessee street, and for somo time past things have failed to run smoothly with him and his wife. They have had several quarrels, and yesterday they came to blows. The woman had the best of the fight, as Baker received a heavy blow on the forehead aud had his lip cut with a small shne-h a turner, -which tho wife used in defending herself. he was first, too, iu securing a warraut of arrest, but Baker alo had one issued against the woman. Sent to the Hospital for Insane. Frederick A. Miller, a wire manufacturre thirty-two years of age, was adjudged iusane yesterday.

Attorney-general Michcner is absent on a fewdays' vacation, and the Supremo Court Judges are having their summer outing.

A SEASIDE VILLAGE

A Quaint Xew England Ecsort Where Intellectual People Go for Summer Rest. Written for tho Indianapolis Journal. Siascoxset, Nantucket Island, Aug. 20. A miniature city by the sea. Play-houses seemingly put down by big children on the green sward of a level field, and, like children's work, not always arranged in right lines. So close together aro the houses on the irregular little streets and lanes, sometimes not more than three feet apart, ono thinks still more they might well be tho work of children. No sidewalks. Tho streets are traveled, for there are ruts in tho center caused by the wheels of passing wagons. Elsewhere, between the rows of houses, the grass grows luxuriantly, and is only kept from reaching proportions for mowing by the footsteps of the summer residents. Such odd little" houses. Like exaggerated dry boxes aatho beginning,' over which a roof was placed and in which a doll family might havo gono to live. But with other dolls born, an addition on one end of tho house was a necessity. This had a roof of the same slant, and as it was deeper than the main building, the eaves sometimes extended to tho height of the seeming liliputian owner. Then, as the family further increased and other rooms wero needed, additions were made on the other end or rear. If space wero available on the ground, perhaps another and another room would bo put on, but live or six miniature rooms is the average of the little 'Scopset houses. Cease to regard the structures as toy houses, but as the habitations of grown men and women, and one begins to realize how incongruous they aro wheu considered in connection with any known style of architecture. Some were begun nearly two hundred years ago, and have been added to from time to time until they assumed the proportions that they bad reached nearly a half century sincp. They were tho dwellings of hardjiv brave and strong men toilers of the sea who came each spring and fall to; tish in the waters otf the beach. Tho houses iu their beginnings wero merely for shelter during stormy weather, when they could not launch their boats upon the surf, and, when the season was over, in which to house their little crafts. The buildings were of the rudest carpentry. Odds and ends of timber and lumber were used in their construction. Sills, and, joists, and studs and rafters were of all shapes and sizes. Somo were pieces of wreckage that had lloatod upon tho beach; others were taken from dismantled barns, dwellings. and out-houses. Scarce any new material was used. The parts were put tojethor securely, and in time sides as well as roofs were shingled. Doors of any pattern, and nearly always second hand, were used. Old windows brought hither wero availed of to admit light. If they were of uniform size, all right, if not, all right. Little garrets over the parlors aud bedrooms afforded a shelter for two or three men during the height of the fishing season. The occupants slept well, for tho furnishings wero equal to thoso in the bunks they occupied in whale ships or coasters in which they had been employed. The air was always cool, and, with tho little windows raised a couple of inches, ventilation was perfect for the occupants iu the smallest room. This was Siasconset ten years ago a quaint little fishing village of about forty or. fifty house 8, from ten to twelve feet to the peak of tho roofs, situated on the east side of Nantucket island, on a bluff of 6ome thirty to forty feet in height, with a broad beach of sand before it. and then the vast ocean, with no land intervening between tho village and sonthcrn Europe. Not counting Cape Cod as a part of the continent, the island is forty miles out at sea. Every breath of the air that passes over it is redolent with tho odors of the ocean. With eyes closed, the visitor to the village could well imagine himself on deck of a vessel in hiid-ocean. were it not that there is no motion. With -his 63' es open, he realizes that he has all the benefits of a sea voyage, with the comforts of a dwelling on land. When steam communication was regularly established with the island, somdtwenty odd years ago, families from the main land who had lea'rued of the healthful qualities of tho air, hired the fishermen's cottages during the summer and stopped for tho season, enjoying a climate where thcro are always cool nights and never hot days, even in midsummer; where mosquitoes are scarce ever seen; where the rain quickly percolates the sandy soil and stagnant water canuot exist, and where malaria .is impossible; whero tho water for drinking purposes is raised from a depth of near forty feet, and is cool, soft, pure, refreshing and healthful. The builders of these little houses didn't suppose that they had laid the foundation for a seaside resort, but such is tho fact. Nowt nearly two hundred houses built and furnished aro occupied between Juuo and October, considerably more than a hundred having been erected within tho past seven or eight years. One hotel, which existed forty years ago in the llusn times of the whale fishery, nas recently been enlarged. Another, begun over twelve years since, has been added to from time to time, in this direction and iu that, until now it

has accommodation for nearly two hundred guests. Two or three houses arc used for boarders, and this year a restaurant has been erected for the accommodation of excursionists. Tho transit of tho island was. until 1SS5, by wagons over sandy roads, tho liko of wbhuh could not bo found elsewhero in anv old settled country. 16 was a tedious pull of svenand a half miles, taking at least an hour and half, unless with a light vehicle. Bet the increasing importanco of the plaoe as a sumujer rceorC awakened tho sleepy authorities of tbo sleepiest town in America into perfunctory effort, and now the roads havo been greatly improved from tNoir condition lea years since, though further improvement is sadly needed. But the littlo railroad wbi'di was projected in connection with au uusuccessful land speculation on the south shore of the island, nowconvevs pacscrgeni between the "town," as Nmituckct is called, aud 'Sconset. which is tho abbreviated nam of the little ishti men's village. And such a railroad. Ittf gaute in as narrow as tho purposes and hopes of its projectors were broad. Tho cars st y from, port to starboard, liko onto a fishing smack: on tho billows of Nantucket shoals, and the seafaring man who rides on thein. feels at home. The resident visitor at 'Sconset will not hear anything derogatory to tho roads Ho knows that, but for it. it Mould rsoulro courage to leave his home on the main lana to pass a summer of rest on 'Scoosot bask. It was conceived in speculation; was bora iu povertyj was dry -nursed in hopo; wasf sustained in its maturity by subscriptions toils stocks and bonds. But the stockholders have not learned that 'sweet ara tho uses of adversity," and the bondholder havo fared no better; for, like St. PanU they would that all men were alike untoi them save these bonds. J For several miles the road was builtf within a few rods of the south shore of ibel island, and the heavy gales had made suchj inroads into the bluff that last season, iai many places the track was within a few feet ol tho beach. In November following a terrific cale washed the earth from uni der the track for a longdistance, andsogreati was the damage done that it seemed doubtful the managers would attempt to restore it: but they wero equal to the emergency, and on the 1st of July traffic was resumed. The popularity of the place, considering the distance the visitors have to travel to get to it, is remarkable. But they coma irom far and wido: from as far south as Oeoriria. and as far west and north aa

'Kansas, and Nebraska, and Minnesota, and, some even from California and far-otf Australia. The class of visitors is very select Itia not probable that it will ever become a fashionable resort. The visitor are mainlr college professors, teachers, invalids, tircdJ out business men, who seek rest; fashionable people of tho cities for nine months in. the year, who seek a severance fron fashion; families with young childrenwhom they desire to let run looso, with thrd assurance'that they are in perfect, safety artists and literary men, who wish to pursno their vocations under cir enrastanecs which at tho same ttmc will build up their health. Among those who havo permanent residences lor.thei summer season are President Taylor, o Vassar College: Professors Wilder andt Crauo, of Cornell Univeritv United States Senator Spooner. and Mr. l'hipps, of Wis-, consin: It. Gardner Chase, of Boston: Mrs, Marcellus Hartley. Mrs. Mather, Mrs. Clute, Miss Chipman and Kev. Dr. Flagg, of Now" York; Professor Harrison Allen, of Philadelphia; President Kobinson, of Urowi University; Kev. Dr. Eastman, of South Frjimingham, Mass.; Major Burbank.of tho Fifth Artillery, U. . A., and Mrs. Kichards, of Charlestown; A. B. Lamberton. oi Rochester; 11. K. White, William Chittenden, Mrs. Farquhar. Georgo Jerome and Lmory Wendell, of Detroit; Will iam 13 a b entyne and J. Ormond Wilson, of Washing ton, and Mrs. Fnrniss, of Bergea Point, N. J. But, besides these, scores of families are almost yearly visitors to the cottages, somo in the original fishermen's dwellings, many of which have been enlarged, and others that have been put up by parties owning property, made in imitation of the liliputiou structures. 'In them the characteristics of the old houses have been preserved. They are quaint, but picturesque in their exteriors and within are very pretty. They havo a marvelous amount of accommodation for a small amount of room. It is theso little) houses that are the most eagerly sought lor; first, because they are in such sharp contrast with any style of architecture with. which people elsewhere aro familiar, and second because they rent at low prices, foi each house contains from six to ten roomf j perfectly furnished, and they rent for tha season at prices varying from $120 to J00.. Another peculiarity of Siasconset is thatJ ' there is no bar or liquor saloon of any kind. The cost of a Massachusetts liquorliccnso is so very high that nono has been granted on Nantucket island this year, and wero tho price very low it would not pay to sell liquor at Siasconset. The young peoplo run the place, organize its amusements, out-of-door and in-door. For 200 years the village was without a chapel. Some few years sinco a subscription was taken up and tho structure was begun. It was paid for mainly by entertainments given by.thej j'oung people, and successive enlargements wero made in tho samo way. It is now out of debt. The season has begun earlier during lato years, and it lasts longer. It was seldom that a family camo before the 1st of July, but this year nearly a dozen arrived the first week in May, and by the middle ofi June half the houses were occupied; uovr. the place which has during the winter time less than twenty resident families, has nearly 2,000 persons living within the limits.
