MONET, STOCKS ANT BOXDS. Upward BIoTcment Continues Strong Great Spurt In HockJesr Valley. ' NEW YORK, Aug. 31. Money on call was easy at 3 per cent Prime mercantile paper, 527 percent. Sterling exchange quiet but steady at $4.8334 for aixty-day lulls, and $4.87 V for demand. The total sales of stocks to-day were 113,515 shares, including the following: Atchison. 12.C0O; Hocking Valley, 4,000; Louisville &. Nashville, 4,100; Northwestern, 3,500; Northern Pacific preferred, 0,487; Oregon Transcontinental, 2,200: Reading, 4,500; St. Paul, 25,100; Western Union, 2.200. Tlio stock market again gave evidence of the gTowth of the bullish feeling to-day and on a very moderate volume of business scored further fractional advances, tho close being generally at about the highest price of the week. London prices were again higher this morning, and the opening hero was made at an advance over last evening's figures of from 8 to per cent, generally. Tho only really active stocks, however, in the early dealings were St. Paul, Atchison and Northern Pacific preferred, and the lirst named soon developed marked strength and onoo more touched the highest price of the week. 75. There was some reaction from the best figure and this was sympathized in to a limited extent by the rest of the list, but the upward morement was soon resumed and the other Villards, the grangers. Gould stocks and trusts wero ail prominent for both activity and strength. The feature amougthe grangers was Burlington & Qnincy aud it reached higher iigures than it has seen in months. The great feature of tho day, however, was the sudden rise and activity in the Hocking Valley securities. It became known that at the ineetiogof the directors the resignation of President Shaw was accepted and Mr. C. C. Waite elected in his place, and arrangements were made to pay the interest coming due on Sept. 1, whilethe utmost harmony was restored to the board. The frtock upon this shot up from 152 to 18 though it reacted to 18 at the csose. The bonds were even more buoyant. lThe 6troug tone continued up to the close, dospite the realizations, and the market closed fairly active and strong, generally at about the best Iigures. The list is almost invariably higher, and Hocking Valley is up 3 per rent, and Burlington 1"8. The railroad bond market showed tho usual oniet business of the general list, but the sudden activity in the Hocking Valley issue raised the .amount of business done to 37.000, of which the Hocking Valley lives contributed $157,000. Tho tone of the market was stead', as usual, and the final changes insignificant, though the St Paul J-outh Minnesota sixes rose 24. Hocking Valley lives rose C24, and the sixes 5 per cent. The sales of bonds for the week aggregated .,C1:,000, against $4,033,000 for last week. Government bonds were dull and steady to linn. Stato bonds were dull and featureless.

CHICAGO. Aug. CI. In wheat fair aggregate amount of speculative business was transacted, sud it was largely of a local scalping character. Notenoughoutside orders to either buy or sell were received to have any eflect upon prices. The weather and commercial cables were bearish. Bradstreet's was out with some bearish iigures. to tho eflect that exporting countries will have 20,000,000 bushels more wheat thisyear than the importing countries will require. All of theso weakening inlluences, however, were fully oflset by Dornbusch's report on the Russian crop, which places tho yield for that country at 05 per cent., against 105 per cent, in 1SSS. Export clearances at tho Atlantic seaboard were again fair. At eleven principal points, total receipts to-day were 019,000 bu against shipments from tho same points of 31HJ.0U0 bu. It is now hgured that tho forthcoming supply report will show little if any increase, possibly a decrease. Outside domestic markers were stronger and tho lata London cables showed an advance ir tho average prices for the week in English country markets of lil. This is probably due in Iiart to the labor troubles over there, iuctuations in prices for futures at this point were within moderate limits aud closing quotations wero nc above yesterday's latest bitls. May wheat is gradually coming into more favor with speculators and considerable chancing over August and September to Slay tvu done to-day at the current differences. The cash trade was not very brisk on tho regular market, and prices averaged easier for the oil grades. No, 2 red closed higher at 77. Corn was quite activo at times, with the feeling weaker ou the near futures, while May was relatively linn. The inlluences on the market wero mnch the same i noted for several days past, the weakening factors being heavy receiptsaud also tho line weather. A feature to-day was tho liberal purchases of year corn by a prominent local trailer. The , market opened at about yesterday's closing prices, was steady lor a time, then de clined about ;Vc, reacted some and rl""07i "with other tieir

In oats there was a good trade and a weaker feeling, particularly in September, which, was ottered with increased freedom by longs, and prices receded c. Fair buying at the decline caused a reaction to almost previous outside prices, but the market again weakened ajid closed quiet and easy. Activity and irregularity in prices were the prominent features in the market for mess pork. The market opened strong at 25c advance, and a further advance of E5 3722 followed. Later tho otferings exceeded the requirements and prices receded again. A rally of 25',fcS0c was again obtained, but near the close the market broke suddenly . W)c. with considerable excitement, and raJlied 105 153 and closed ouiet. Trading, was almost exclusively on September and October deliveries witTiiu about the same ran go of prices. Theroha-s gotten to be but one theory in regard to it that it is an Armour deal, and that all the. big professionals, Phillip9, Wright, Cudahy and tho others are entrapped. Phillips was busy covering this morning at the top, brokers taking probably 10,000 barrels at a loss for him of $1.50:2 per barrell. Cudahy was in the pit lighting the deal, selling October by the 1,000 barrel lots at a crack. Only a moderate trade was reported in the lard market, and the feeling was steadier. Prices were advanced .022'2.05c, anil tho market closed steady. Quitea good business was transacted in the market for short-rib rides. Tho feeling was stronger early, and prices wro advanced .O'S.Ooc, butsettled back agaun to about inside figures, and closed steady. Tho leading futures ranged as follows:

The Volume of Business of the Mouth Just Closed X' airly SaUsfactory. IxniiKAroLis, Aug. 31. As a rulo, the wholesalo men speak of tho volume of business in the month of August as having been very satisfactory, and with some an improvement over that of August 1SSS, is reported. The steady tono to prices on most lines of goods enabled the wholesale men to sell closer than they could were the fluctuations frequent and sharp. Jn dry goods the changes in prices have been slight, notwithstanding the shaky condition of the wool market a portion of tho time. Grocers have little room to complain of the volume of their business, or of the changes in values. Sugars are but a quarter of a cent higher than thirty days ago, and coffees, roasted grades, only a half cent higher, while green coffees have ruled steady and firm through the month. In the produce markets trado was active through the entire month. .Goods have 6old low in some cases, but the demand was such that in the aggregate the commission men were well paid for their labors. Eggs, butter and poultry seldom bring as good prices as they have through the month ust closed, and for eggs and butter good prices are indicated next month, at least in the early part of it. Tho hide men and the millers have had some grounds for complaint. The former market drags, while the Hour market has been uncertain in tono, and weak prices have prevailed most of tho time. All classes of merchants begin the now month with bright prospects, the large crops and easy money market being excellent stimulants to retail trade, which means good business for the wholesale men. grain. Tho Indianapolis Market Report shows the receipts of wheat to-day to have been 17,400 bushels. The market is easier, although best eamples find ready sale at quotations.

Any one who Is a member of a Rebekah Degree lodge will bo admitted to the convention, but all who : design going from this State should take cards from their lodges with them. The Grand Lodge of Indiana is perhaps the wealthiest grand body In the United States, the property on the corner of Pennsylvania being valued at $150,000. In 1853 a committee, composed of Robert Dale Owen, Oliver P. Morton, Kabius M. Finch, William Robson and Lewis Maddux, were elected by the Grand Lodge to purchase a lot and erect a building forlod;e purposes. The tendency of business at that time was westward, and it was with some difficulty that Robert Dale Owen, the chairman, succeeded in convincing the balance of the committee that east of Meridian street was more desirable for a location than west of that street, and that tirao would show the wisdom of siica selection. Sixtyeight feet on Washington street, running back to Court street, then a forty-foot alley, on Pennsylvania, was purchased lor $17,000. A building, designed by Costigan, was contracted for at a cost of $39,000, and the work at once commenced under the supervision of the committee, which was linished in 165G at a cost of $03,000, including lot. The building was dedicated to the purposes of the order May 21, 1856, by John B. Anderson, grand master. Of the original committee all have passed away, except Pablus M. Finch, who Is still living in this city, although not now a member of the order. That the comuiltto bnilded wisely has bien long since demonstrated, as the location is now regarded as one of the most valuable business corners In the city, and has more than doubled in value since its purchase, the rental of the building paying 10 per cent, on the stock, Independent of tho expense of maintenance. The stock! Is I. all now owned within the order, the Grand Lodgo holding $32,000. the Grand Encampment $1,450, and subordinate lodges and camps the balance. Order of Equity.

ALL DEPENDS ON THE LECTURER. How Museum Curiosities from Ordinary Surroundings Come Into Public Notice. The interior workings of a dime museum were described yesterday, to a Journal representative by an old showman, now resident in this city, who has long since forsaken his calling. "Most of the6trange and peculiar personages," said he, "who figure in dime museums and side shows, and who are introduced to the frequenters of such places, by strange and high-flown titles and represented to hail from all parts of the world, generally come from New York and its suburbs. For instance, the Circassian girl, whose hairbreadth escape from a life of slavery in a Turkish harem causes a tear to dim tho eye of the sympa thetic, originated in tho vicinity of CbaN, ham street. 1 he luxuriant growth 01 hair, the loquacious lecturer tells you. is not a peculiarity of theT' tribe to which she belongs, but only a marked characteristic of about four hundred families, in fact is rather a family .than a national peculiarity. No matter how much combing or brushing tho hair may receive, it will always stand erect. In reality this Eeculiaritv of capilliary adornment is rough t about by a hour's labor every afternoon on the part of the said Circassian in the manipulation of innumerable hairpins and a pint of stale beer. "Her vis-a-vis on the museum stage is generally an Albino, with marked white lair and pink eyes. Here our friend, the lectnrer, again steps in. and, with tho eloquence of a Webster gravely informs you that the young lady is a native of the island of Madagascar, a representative of a race of people known as the White Moors, that at 'one time inhabitated the islands, but have now become almost extinct. Professor Dingwaller. or some other eminent scientific authority, while traveling for his health through the islands some years ago, managed to purchase the albino at a slave market, and bringing her to this country and introducing her to his family, instead of turning her loose in his kitchen, as he originally intended, ho took a fondness for her. adopted her, and educated her as his own child. 11 1 t r a J r nui ner ueneiactor aying a iewyears. ago and leaving her almost destitute, she was met by the manager of this museum, and he, seeing in her a great curiosity and attractive feature, made her a fabulous ofl'er of $5 a week and photograph money and she has consented to place herself on exhibition. In private life our White Moor is known as Miss Mary Ann McCarthy, 6he being nothing but a freak of nature, and one just liable to occur in any family. "The Australian children. Tom and Ilattie, which have been exhibited for over twenty-five years in . various museums in all parts of this country, are undoubtedly the strangest-looking people ever seen. Their heads are almost flat, and measure but about six and a quarter inches in circumference, and of all hideous creatures ever placed before a suffering public, theso two arc certainly the most horrible to behold. Here the lecturer again steps in and in a grandiloquent style informs the people that they are aboriginal Australians, and goes on to tell how Captain Reed, of the bark Sunburst, running to Australia, saw a number Of these people running upon all fours,and how, after a long chase, the sailors succeeded in capturing these two, while theother escaped, etc. Nowt,while these people arc certainly great curiosities, it would be better for their true history to bo told. Two of theso freaks I particularly 'know were born of colored parents in tho vicinity of Tifiin, O., and are nothing more than malformed, idiotic negroes. Next on the list is Jo-Jo, the dog-faced boy, whom tho lecturer is good enou gh to inform us was captured running wild in Rnssla, when in reality the boy was born and raised in good circumstances, his parents being Russian Jews. One of his brothers conceived the idea of placing tho boy on exhibition, and to show to what extent he has been successful, as ho arrived in this country almost penniless, his bank account is close in the neighborhood of $100,000. Giants, dwarfs and midgets are to bo found in almost every community. Probably tho largest ciant ever exhibited in this country was CoL Ruth Goshen, who recentlv died on his farm near New Brunswick, N, J. Colonel Gcrh-

This I believe was true m my case in regard to the remarkable cures effected by tho Blair Treatment. I was de termined not to believe the mauy state ments I read, and until I saw the results accomplished by the treatment in my brother's case, I was skeptical, bnt tho proof was sufficient and I could deny thej fact no longer. I had been afflicted for several years by a peculiar malady which gave me a great deal of pain, and my com plexion became a pale asny color. !i6J UM .1- " 1 MU. JOHN BLOOM. MMy back and limbs ached, and I would feel tired and tremble internally. It was by the greatest effort that I kept up my work. My feet and handt were always cold. I had no ambition or energy, and tho least exertion wouldcompletely exhsust me. 1 would toss restlessly about most of the night, getting only light naps, and then I would arise, feeling worse than when I retired. My appetite was gone. I could eat nothing. I would get up with a dull, heavy headache and a vile taste in my mouth, and my tongue would be coated with a dark brown fur. Then a hacking cough setln. My eyes became weak and hollow and every, ono thought I was going into consumption. There was a dull, heavy pain in my head just over the eyes which never ceased, and at times my head would get light and dizzy and I would see stars and dark spots floating before my eyes, and my eyes became very weakandwould water freely npon tho least exposure. I had tried a great many things for relief and not finding it 1 became discouraged, but after I saw the effect of the treatment upon my brother I deter- . mined to try it. My improvement was blow r at first, but it was necessarily soon account of the peculiarity and complication of my afflictions. But I can truly say I have never found anything that gave me -such favorable results. I can now work full timo, a thing I had not done for years.
