White wai arrested at the Hotel Mother , where he had been stopping for some time , and detectives engaged in ferreting out the case bava discovered partly finished notes amounting In the aggrfgito to S3 JO.COJ. The captured p per is chiefly notes of the denom ination ot 2CO milreis , tut they consist only of floats of notoa and are not signed. The backs , however , have been discovered in Now Orleans , and thus the tchemo has been foiled. Other arrests arn expected to ba made both hero nnd In Now Orleans , when the names of tha Brazilian members of the gang will ba re- cured. It Is said that one or more of the ( jacK nre now on their way to Brazil ; that the HUtlioriticB of that country have been cabled to that effect , and the men will bo arrested on their arrival. The printing of the fronts of tha notes v ai done here by August G ait & Oo. , who were told they were intended fur clgitr box labile , but the suspicions of Cast & Co. being uroused whlla the woik was lu pro gress , they infurmad the United States au thorities here , and detectives were eet to work on the case.

Oold weather sustains corn and tlio provision list. Receipts continue rather llgtit Wheat was ogaln weak at tlio opening , the primary cause being lower foreign markets nnd rumors , which were later dcnloJ , of heavy failures in the London grain trade. Selling WAS soon gen eral , October going down to 81 } ? , which van Jfo below the opening , nnd l@ljc below yes terday's close. Later tin market firmed up coma on predictions of froit throughout the northwestern states and northern Iowa and Illinois. A good deal ot "Jong" wheat was broubgt out again to-day. Around 81i@81fjo for October the market.was quite steady , tbo bulls securing little or nothing to advance the market on , and the boars wore confident thai It would fall ofitsowu weight if left olono. Statements as to the condition of wheat now being withdrawn from store vary greatly , some claiming that it is In p.rfect condition , and others that its removal is a matter of no- cetsity. The close cf the morning session was quiet and n llttlo heavy. CORN was a slinde lower at openingin sympathy with Iho feeling in wheat , but continued cold weather and fours rf damage if it continues made pricei a hadt < higher dating tha early hours of'the day , Tha general tone , however , was n little easy , with trading on a very mod erate scale.
