[ Special Telegram to the HKI : . ] Whllo the demand for money was brisk during the early part of the weeki there was not quite so much Inquiry for ac commodations within the past day or two though fully as antlvo as bankers desire to see. They can readily place all their loana ble funds at satisfactory rates of Interest , and that , too. without the acceptance of paper from outside parties. Deliveries of property on May contracts were unusually heavy , and largo sums of money were re quired to pay for them , but all arrangements had been piovldcd for and the money promptly i ld out. Of course the market was very close for a day or two , but after the money was distributed and settled back in natural channels again , bankers wcro In a moio comfortable position and no dllllculty was experienced In obtaining favors. Oper ators In grain and provisions were pressing In their demands , and wcro liberal borrow ers on wide margins and full rates of Inter est. Shippers of grain asked for a few favors and succeeded In obtaining all the money they reqnlred. Whole sale * merchants vero moderate borrowers and lumber dealers prc.scnted some paper for discount. Country shippers require bome money , especially In sections where the farmers ate about through with their opting seeding , and shipments of currency to the Interior , while not very largo , were somewhat larger than miring the week previous. Chicago cage bank clearings for the past week were the largest In the history ot the city. viz. : SSO,8b'Jo4 , Collections are reported rather slow , though merchants In the mercantile trade report business active and considerably in excess of tills time las > t year.

Money in the eastern market - kot exhibited a little more closeness and in terest rates were a little more favorable to lenders. In European financial centers money Is reported abundant and very cheap. Loans on the London market are quoted at 1@'J per cent. The balances in the leading foreign banks show an Increase.

Considerable interest manifested In the produce markets during the early part of the week , not so much regarding the volume of business and chanee In prices as to the out come of the deliveries of property on May contracts. It was well known that large quantities of all kinds of grain and provi sions would be delivered , and the effect of the proceeding and the tinal centering of the property was watched wltti considerable eagerness and anxiety. It. is generally be lieved that not less than 8,000,000 bushels of wheat , 5,000,000 bushels of corn 30,000 barrels of mess pork , 40.000 tierces ot lard and 18,000,000 pounds of short rib sides were ten dered on maturing contracts and the prop erty was readily accepted and promptly paid for , the greater portion centering in the hands of four or five largo houses , and only a small proportion seeking the market again. No very marked effect was pctceptlble in the course of tbo market , provisions showing a slight weakeninu temporarily. Toward the close the markets exhibited some steadlnes , though prices were improved only in exceptional cases. Speculative trading has been quite active In all branches , with good business in transferring contracts ahead at current differences. The shipping demand has been fairly active , particularly for grain , and the outward mo nent was liberal , though largely by thn water route. Arrivals were talr , but not as luriro as during the week previous , which may bo attributed to the limited storage facilities at present ana the fact that farmers ate busy with their spring work. Stocks of craln are gradually de creasing , whllo the biipply of provisions Is gradually enlarging , due to the qulto llbeial manufacture.

The cappfiny ) Is composed of the best young men of iho city. With a European trip In vletf. tlje company placed upon its honorary roU th < ? , names of many well cknown gentlemen of Atlanta for the purpose of enlisting thlr ( ? support , Ono who took the most pride In Jhlsiionorary member ship was Charles S. IAt oed , proprietor of the Evening Capital. Dui recently he was made furious by the discovery that Burke had given the Ilrst official announcement of the proposed trip to the public through the Con stitution , whereas he claimed that Uurko had promised to let him have tlio news first. Then ho attacked Ourke and the company In the paper and was requested to surrender the cortltlcato of honorary membership , in reply to the request he again attacked the com pany and declared that. he knew many things to the detriment of the company and that iiurkp would make thousands ont of the trip. Thursday night the company drafted a reply to At wood in which his statements \vero branded as "miserable and malicious falsehoods" of a "man of low character. " Yesterday Burke published a card In which lie denounced Atwood as "a poltroon and liar , a festering sore on the body politic , a disgrace to Journalism , ami a creature whom truth would slianio anil falsehood einbelltih.1 Shortly after noon yesterday Atwood suiud out armed with a rawhide , with blood In his eve , intent upon taking revenge. On Peach Tree street Atwood caught sUht of nls victim crossing the street , and started otter him. Overtaking Uurkc , Atwood attempted to horsewhip him , but UuiKn grappled with htm bctoro he could draw the \\lil | > . A tussle fol lowed and both men went down , but ft lends and police Interfered before any serious damage was done. Uurke and Atwood ate by no means sattslled with the piesent state of affairs. The most strutting rumor alloat is that the guards Intend to run Atwood out ot Uio city. Thn Transcontinental Mooting. CHICAGO , May 7. At n meeting of Trans continental railway olllctals to-day nothing was accomplished In the way of perfecting an organization or agreeing upon rates. To night many of the otllcials left for homo dis gusted. Apparently no system of differen tials could be devised that would satisfy the many conflicting Interests. It Is probable that another meeting wilt bo held in New York nottwoek , although some of the lines Insist that they will not bo represented. Much of the thno to-day was occupied by Commissioner Dlauchard In an address ex plaining the position of the HIUM cast of Chicago cage on thn question of prorates.

Thn Alarshal on II in BIuncle. Yesterday Marshal Uiiinminjxs went out to the domain of one Hitchcock , located a milo nnd a half west of Fort OmMiti , to order him to bury tlireo dead horses , which had become a sickening nms.inco to the neighborhood. Ho found three carcasses anil two animals sulloring tor- rlbly , and which ho should bo shot. The cause of the oquinc mortality did not au- pear. At any rate the marshal ordered Hitchcock to comply with the law at onco. On returning homo the marshal stopped at the Saratoga house post , near the gate of the fort. Hero ho ionnd a nieo state of allalra. The room was full ot soldiers and civilians , and public gam bling was at its height. Three roulette tables were in full sway. It is nunoccs- sary to sav that as soon as the ollicor of the law appeared , there was a scattering. llo closed up the games and closed out the gamesters on short notice. It is said the saloons around the' fort are very dis- oi-'lcrly and need police surveilanco. Scattering the Squatters. Twelve suits wcro commenced in the county court yesterday in all of which are the sarao plaintiff , the twelve differ ent defendants being squatters on the bottom lands. The former are Dowitt C. Sutphcn. Charles D. Sntphcn , Ada P. Drake , Matt K. DraKe , Josiah Q. Drake Kinnin A. Gibbs and Hyron Reed. The Jand in question lies between the O. & M. railroad track and the Missouri river , being uart of lot 3 in section 2' ] , near the Union Pacilic bridgq. Eilbrts have been made for sometime to get these squatters of the land to move oil' but to no effect , hcnco recourse has been had to tlio courts. It is said they will light the attempts to evict , as many of thorn believe they have a right to pre-empt any 1 and lying within sixty- live feet of the river. An Unfortunate Woman , Every few days nervous people en the streets are frightened half to death by a woman falling in an epileptic lit. Her uamo is Ltpkc and she has been sup ported by the county for four years. She has four children but will not allow the authorities to take them , although from her associates and chronic illness she is entirely unlit to care for them. The commissioners have endeavored to have her go to the poor house but she refuses. It is probable the police authorities will investigate her case as she is not a proper person on account of the frequent attacks of opileptio fits and other reasons to bo allowed to roam around nt will and mix up with all kinds of associates. Besides thu children should bo cared for in some Christian way. Ijitcrary and Scientific Club.

Sun Viaiicttco Clirontcle. Thu bull light in the City of Mexico , which was attended by President Din/ -4 and several of Ins cabinet , and at which ' four horses were killed , two mat adores severely injured and several picadorca disabled , is nothing moro than a remnant of tlio savagery and cruelty which is characteristic of barbarism. The illus tration drawn from Homo and the arcnio combats there prove nothing to the con trary. True it is that at the time of the gladiatorial combats and wild beast .shows in Rome , the former mistress of the world was at the height of splendor , of luxury , of elegance nnd of .material wealth , but at the same time Home was but one vast brotbul , where lust and crimu hold higti revel nnd whore the ancient Homau valor was smothered in Tynan purple and drowncp in Falurnian wine. The spirit of conquest aii ( ' the admiration for personal bravery had degenerated Into u savage thirst for blood of hired bravoes , and the descendants of those who had bound up the wounds of Iloratius or gazed with knit brows upon the cruel gash in Lncceis' bosom , now found their highest dulight in seeing two ( Jauls or GornmiiH contend in a death struggle , or in gazing upon il"3 agonies of a Christian maiden torn by wild beasts. Let tliu admirers of bulll-lights plead for their favorite sports , if they will , upon the proper ground , that of the iibru of coarseness and cruulty which runs through human nature , especially In tint Latin races ; but lut them not diifcird it by citing classic models , or instancing tl'm moral leprosy ot Homo as a siillicient excuse for brutalizing and degrading tlio bpirit of the present age. "There can be found no single apology or excuse for this'kind ' of sport , so called , unless it bu found in the lowest element of human nature , a love of cruelty. Thotc i.s no high or lofty courage displayed , 114. -i in most cases wheru thu bull attacks horse and man the nobler animal , the horse , has to millbr. It is nothing but sheer , malignant cru elty to all the animals concerned , and its only Diirposo is to pander to tins debased and depraved tastes of thosn who.su zest for ordinary pleasures and HinuBuinuntii is worn out , and who r" . quire bloodshed to stir their freblo pas- MODS or to kindle thuir interest. It is upon no higbjw" or moru elevated plunu tlian rat-killing or badger-baiting , whcro tlio hunted animal is not intended to have , and docs not have a chance for its life , l > nt whcro thu mangled bodies and oozing gore of thu poor victims satiatus the un natural appetite for horrors , which is the leading passion of the degraded spectators. So long as bnll-flghU continue to form a leading feature of thuMuxlcan pooplu'o amusements , their genuine civilization may bo seriously questioned. Civilization In tno highest sense , must Include rellne merit and dulicacy of feeling.and they can never exist whom such a barbous recreation tion as bull-fighting is popular , or whom wild enthusiasm is excited by the sight of a wounded hon > o being drugged out of the arena , or of a tortured bull staggering - goring around the ring , harassed by tlio darts of the pleadores , bleeding from every pore , und finally done to death by the sword of the matador- butchered to make a Mexican holiday. At n recent trial of bloodhounds at the convict camp nt Friars' Point , Miss , u negro under ten years' sentence was re leased and told that he could have his liberty if ho escaped the dogs. The convict - ' vict had three liour.s fitart , but the dog.s ran the poor follow down before he had gone twenty miles. * A trco was laid low by the woodman's aat P.owersvillo , Ohio , recently , nm ! forty fence posts and twenty-two cords of ttovo wood were cut from U.
