It Affects the Executive and Keep Him From Work. WASHINGTON , July 30. The weather In Washington continues warm and oppressive and many persons engaged In outdoor work mvo succumbed to the heat within the past Tow days. The heat was so great to-day that It was found necessary to close the war and navy departments an hour earlier than usual , and It the present heat continues much longer , such action will probably become a regular thing In all the executive depart ments. The president did not coluo Into the city to-day , but all the members of the cabi net were at their desks us usual. A statement has been prepared at the sig nal ollico contrasting the temperature at Washington during the past month with tlio temperature during the same month of tha piuvlous years since the organization of the service In 1871. From this It appears that the present month loads the record for the high est temperature 102,8 whlch occurred on the 17th. The average mean temperature waf higher than any July since 1671.

Intriguing With an Ambassador of the Czar ad a Itclgrt of Terror In France Predicted. Germany nnd Rusala. 18S7 , l > u the N. 1 * . .iMoclitJfit Prcis ] N , July SO. Instead of the Itusslan government ceasing war on the German commerce , as promised by Ambassador Sclionoaloir , fresh measures paralyzing the trading relations arc either Impending or are already In operation. Under Schonoaloft's assurances the crusade- against Russian stocks ceased. Durlnx the week Russian securities have been neither bought nor sold , but anti-Russian feeling again excited by the fresh display of hostility on the part of the St. Petersburg government will not now bo allayed until some practical check Is clven to the systematic persecutions of Germans by Russians. M. DuGiers has Informed the German ambassador after the ministerial council , that th'o law upon which the Imperial ukase was based could not bo modllicd nor Its operation dclavcd. At the same time negotiations , the object of which was to obtain special exception in the cases of Princes Rad/lwcll and Ilonehloho and other German dignitaries , who are land owners in western Russia , met with n curt rejection. The St. Petersburg cabinet has succeeded In affronting and olIY'iidlng the high placed dignitaries and the whole Gor man commercial world. Russian olliclallsin shows a similar spirit to that of the ministry , an Instance of which Is the revival of the frontier law , which had long since lapsed , under which persons cross ing the frontier are not permitted to carry German coinage of a denomination less than a thalor of gold money. Measures which the rolchstand had under considera tion to prevent German Investments In Itus slan paper , and which were dropped under promise of the restoration of harmonious ro tations , are again under discussion , and It is expected that the result will bo the absolute exclusion of all new Russian loans from the Gorman markets. There Is no whisper now of the czar meeting Emperor William. The former will go to Copenhagen August 1 without touching at a German port. LEGISLATION STOPS STUIKES. The annual report of the elders of tlio Ber lin mercantile community , referring to the extensive strikes and socialist demonstra tions during the year 1830 in America , Lon don , Belgium and Franco , draws the Infer ences that Germany was spared similar inci dents largely through the beneficial operation of government legislation. IlOUrANOCH ANDKUSSIA. The Deutches Tagoblatt says It has information mation that General Botilangor Is concerned in an Intrigue with the Russian ambassador , and that the Russian government , being convinced that Boulanger will return to power , is hounding him on to take concerted action with Russia against Germany. The Tagoblatt predicts an early state of anarchy In France , and the establishment of a reign of terror , when it Is certain , says the paper , the gap In the Vosges will play the role of safety valve , for which emergency Germany must bo ready. The latest advices from Alsace-Lorraine provo that the gap will bo well watched during the coming maneuvers if the French troops. Another Bnulangor Proposition. PAIIIS , July 30.

The executive commit tee of the Autl-Coerolon association has writ ten President Fitzgerald , of the Irish Na tional league , replying to the statement mada in these despatches last night. They think his action Is duo to a misunderstanding ot the alms and purnoscs of their association , which , they say , Is not hostile to the league , and Is ready to send its funds through the league treasurer.

The Columbian banic , a state Institution , closed Its doors this morning , aud a notice was posted stating that by order ot the board of directors the bank would make an assignment for the benefit of creditors. All efforts to obtain any statement as to the amount of liabilities or assets proved futile. It Is believed , how ever , that the failure Is a complete one. Prrsident Bell , of the Farmers & Mechanics' bank , with whom the Columbian have kept accounts for several years , stated that the checks ot the latter were dishonored because they had no money to their credit and furthermore had no securi ties on deposit. It is understood from reli able sources that the chiel causes ot the fail ure were the heavy advances made on drafts of the Ives-Staynor party of New York and the advances niado on consignments of merchandise shipped from South America and other points which were not taken up by the consignees , thus leaving the bank In a crippled condition. The failure caused some excitement In the city , although among financial men was not much of a surprise. Among the bank's isets arc bonds and stocks put down at St".3,000 , but their market value Is very doubtful The solicitor for the bank states that there aio probably $100,000 of the funds tied up In merchandise which was bought In foreign countries on letters of credit Issued by the Columbian and tlm bank paid drafts attached to bill * of lading when presented. They were unable to realize on thcso goods and they are now In storage. Nr.w YOHK , July 80. Uenry N. Stayner. of the firm of H. S.

MONEY VERY EASY OF ACCESS New York KvchatiRc Quiet and R.Uhcl Dull Dealing ! ) In Stocks Very , , , Limited nnd an Uncn- } aourngliiK Outlook. Western Financial Matter * . CIIICAOO , July 80. ( Special Telegram ta the HUB. ) There Is very llttlo change to notn In local tlnanclal affairs , and the gen eral situation li : about the sumo as noted dur ing the past two or three weeks. Within tha past lew days there has been a little more In quiry for money from the speculative and shipping branches of the produce trade , In anticipation of the delivery of property on Aiu-ust contracts , and borrowers experi enced no diniculty whatever In obtaining all the favors asked for , as the liberal reduction In stocks of grain and provisions hero dur * Ing the past mouth or six weeks has mate rially Increased the loaning facilities ot banking insltutlons. Merchants In tha wholesale trade enlarged their demands to some extent , nnd the good paper presented was readily accepted. Lumbermen borrowed sparingly. Kuther more money Is being for warded to the Interior , especially to move wheat , corn and oats , but It Is largely through commission houses. Live stock dealers have forwarded some money to the far west. Kate.of ) Interest are a llttlo more favorable to borrowers , yet the changes wore slight. Call loans were readily accepted at 0 per cent , and tlmo loans ranged at 6t < 3 per cent , accoidlng to tlio amount of money required and tlio standing of the borrower. Money In eastern markets was easier early at 4@0 per cent , but near the close of the week more ) stringency prevailed , and rates were ad vanced to 7@S per cont. Advices from abroad Indicate an easy teollng In that quar ter. Money Is abundant , with little demand from legitimate sources , and latcs of interest extremely low. New York exchange was quiet and rather dull throughout the week. The offerings were only slight and the demand was lim ited. Sales were made between banks at JOQrtOo discount nor 31,000. and the market ; closed steady and at 60c discount. Foreign exchange was In moderate supply nd the demand was only fair. The exports f breadstuffs , provisions , cotton and petro- Biim were not so large and the offerings of hlppors * sixtv-days documentary bills on Condon were lighter and sales were made 184. ) % 04.Sl'f , and closed steady at 94.81(3 ( .8l'f. ' A decidedly weak and unsettled foelln * vas manifested In the Now York stoclc iiarkt't during the past week and a mateilal eduction In prices tor most of the leading iropertlcs was submitted to. Apparently hero was more pressure to sell by largo > perators and a slight decrease In the c.irn- ngs ot some of the lines and reports of crop 'amago In some sections were the Influences irought to bear In weakening the market. Outside parties , too , were not Inclined to isule to anv extent and foreign speculators vero back ward about taking hold. Advioefl rom abroad Indicated a decidedly easy feel- ng In American stocks and lower prices were reported. Some realizing by "Ion s , " who have been worried out , wlso added to he depression In a general way. The sales on the Now Vork stock exchange for the vcek aggregated 1G. > S,500 shares. Business on the Chicago board of trade stock exchange vas exceedingly quiet during tlio past week. Jperators weio not Inclined to do much trad- ng lu stocks and business In local securities vas limited. Tlio dullness and weakness uanlfestcd In the eastern stock markets had a considerable etfoct here , and there Is little irospoct ot increased business before the early part of September. A few trans actions were made in St. Paul to even up trades , but outside of tills business was vorv limited. Petroleum attracted moro ban ordinary attention during the week just closed , and trading was active at very Irregu- ar prices. Tlio offerings were unusually leavv , while the demand was very active rom "shorts , " yet now siilllelent to support he market Prices declined 4@5c. The bales on the New York pctioloum exchange og- ; regated 10,501,000 barrels. A llttlo more life has been manifested In produce circles during tlio past wcok , and uorchants generally report an Impiovcd , rado In all branches , with prospects favoring an active business during tha balance of the lUinmcr and fall. Now York grain is arrlv- jigritthor trecly , especially winter wheat and oats , nnd the shipping demand lias boon well maintained , and the property widely dls- .rlbuted. Prices are very low and have reached a point where the chances ot losses ) > Investment are small. Consequently there is considerable buying In a quiet way by mer chants In all distributing markets , both for eign and domestic. I'liocondition ot growing and maturing crops -lias been re garded as an Important factor In grain circles during tlm past week and Indirectly had considerable influence on the course of prices. The movement of grain from Chicago shows a further reduction In stocks on hand , and shipments ot provisions have been sufficiently largo to further reduce the supplies of all kinds. Consequently money facilities for the moving of crops have boon somewhat improved by the balance of money In favor of the west. Speculative trade shows a little more life , with outside parties giving loncor deliveries the prefer ence , duo to the effect of the weather on crops In different sections. There is some Inclination by outside par ties to trade in heir products for mid-winter delivery , but so far the business has been limited. The packing of the west for the summer season now shows a decrease as compared with the returns of last season to date , with prospects ot a further decreato during the balance of the season.
