The Week In tlio Commercial World.
CiitcAno , May 7. [ 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. Itates of In
terest are well supported ; with borrowers U
is almost a secondary consideration. Call
loans commanded C@ per cent and lime
loans ranged at 0@8 percent , depending on
tlio amount of money required and the
standing of the borrower. ' 1 hero wa r.ithur
more "shinning" on tlio .street , but it is
confined to parties who are not regular
borrowers at banks or who dct > lre funds for
special purposes. 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. NotVork
exchange was in good supply early in the

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. Advices from depending mar
kets , both foreign and domestic , were a little
moro favorable to hollers. The export move
ment of craln was fair but comparatively
light of provisions. Crop repoita were gen
erally ot a favorable tenor In this country ,
but the news from abroad Indicated consider
able backwardness In grajn with the outlook
favorable for decreased , Orpductton.

ATLANTA , Co. , May 7. [ Special Telegram
to the Ur.K.l The Gate , CIy { guard , which Is
soon to make a tour6f.J5urope / , opened the
campaign yesterday 'In aj'docldodly ' sensa
tional manner. 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. A confor-
eneo committee to take m > the subject with
the eastern roads at so mo fututo tlmo was.

ST. Louts , May 7. Wllllom P.itrlck ,

to-day of softening of the brain , a complaint
with which ho has been allllcted for several

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.

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
