August 27. ISpeclal Telegrar to the IEK. | Bankers Generally report good demand for money for this season o the year , with a good supply of loanabli funds on hand. There Is some little Inqulr ; from board of trada operators who antlclpat very considerable grain and hog pioducts 01 the 1st of September , but these demand , ar not pressing and applications are readily a < commodatcd. Shippers of eraln and prov slons nave been moderate borrowers , malnl In the way of sales of exchange or loans fc short dates. There Is considerable mono ] being forwarded to the Interior , chiefly ti grain and live stock districts In the west an outhwest , with a good proportion consigns through commission houses. Lumber dealer wore not Inclined to borrow to any extent a trade Is dull and they are not enlarging the ! stocks much at present prices. Wholosal merchants are offering a little more pape and are readily accommodated. In other dc partments of trade there Is some Inquiry fo money but generally In the way of sma loans. Hates of Interest are little more favorable to borrower of large sums , but no concessions to amoun to anything can bn noted , ranging at 5@G pi cent for call , and 4@C per cent for tlm loans. Very tittle paper Is offered on th street and rates of Interest show little chang from those current at the bauks. Advices from eastern financial centers In dlcate a steady feeling in money , markt rather Jinn , with rates of interest ranging a OWn per cent European advices denote n particular change In that quarter. Mone apparently is In good supply and Interes rates unchanged. Reports of the condltio : of government banks In Europe show sllgh reductions In specie. Now York exchang was in good supply throughout the week while the demand was moderate. The mat kot was easy and sales were made at 50@80 discount per Sl.OJO between banks , an < closed with sellers at 50c. Forclen exchange has ruled dull and weal throughout the week and sales were limited Considerable gold was ordered from Europe Shippers sixty days documentary bills 01 London sold at S4.7934.79 > i and closci steady at S4.79. The New York stock market was grcatl unsettled during the week just closed am prices ruled Irregular and lower for most o the leading properties. There was consldei able desire to realize on behalf of the/'longs' ' who have been carrying stocks on borrowei funds , and this has been a decidedly weal feature "Shorts" added their assistance t the depression and enlarged their lines t some extent during the early part of th week. Trading was confined almost e * cluslvely to Wall street , operators as outsld parties wt-re not Inclined to trade in stock to any extent The earnings of the leading railroads still show an Increase over the coi responding time last year , yet there is no much disposition to purchase stocks , ospe dally of railroads extending through section1 of country where the crops have sufferoi from drought and bad weather. Foreign op erators ate trading sparingly at present am American securities are quiet and easy In thi leading markets abroad. Sale ? on the Nav York stock exchange for the week were onlj 1,605,000 shares. Up to last night there lim boenhold 87,000 shares Western Union ; 30,00 shares Union Pacific ; 16,000 shares Omaha 44,000 shares Northwestern ; 353,000 Reading and 135,000 Delaware , Lacluwanna & West ern. ern.As far as speculation Is concerned , the pro ( luci ) market has exhibited less life than dur Inganv week previous , mainly In sympathj With the general dullness which prevails Ir all the lending produce markets In this conn try and Europe. The adoption of tlio new commKsion rules may tuivo curtailed bus ! ness slightly , but the general impression pre vails that the absence of the leading operator ! from the principal markets , the imsottlei feeling In stocks , and the conflicting wilt statements regarding the yield of grain it European countries , have combined In i measure to check speculation operation : temporarily at least. Operators evidently an Inclined to hold off until a more settled state of affairs exists. The shipping demand , how ever.has been well maintained , and stocks o ! wheat , corn and provisions havi been further reduced , while sup piles of other small grain wen enlarged owing to producers selling freely The export movement In grain and provls Ions continues on a liberal scale , and al articles were widely distributed. Tin weather was unpropitious forthreshlng oner atlons in the northwest , but no serious re Rults to grain have been reported. Advice regarding the benefit to tne corn cropb ; rains are unsatisfactory and conflicting , an ! apparently of little interest to trade. Ar rivals of grain are moderately free at al western markets , and live stock also hat arrived In liberal numbers. The packing o the west is progressing slowly and same what below the returns of the correspoudlni time last year. Killed. ST. JOSEPH , Mo. , August 27.

When , therefore , this largo concours of people saw that not over one hundred del egates comprised the excursion , they wen excusable If a shadow of dlsappolntmen crossed the united face of the reception com mltteo. Lincoln had , In fact , made ojaborati and careful preparations to receive the dclo gallon , and many labored under the Impres slon that even the preparation made wouU bo insufficient , and as a result Lincoln wai more than prepared to receive Its dtstln finished visitors. The carriages , or as man ; as were required , were at once taken for i drive over tlio city , and a magnificent drlv It was. with good streets free from dust , am tlm brightest of skies overhead. It was tei o'clock when the excursionist's reached th city , and from that time on a long anc pleasant drive was indulged in , in eluding a visit to the Ilome for th Friendless , the state penitentiary and tin state hospital for the Insane all of whlcl were carefully noted In all their working ! and were subjects of many favorable com monts. Dinner was furnished by committee ! from the different churches at the Metropoll tan rink and It was as great In amount as al other preparations , three times the amoun sufllclcnt for all requirements. The mem bcrsottho convention of charities held i short meeting In the afternoon and spceche1 were made by prominent citizens and bj leaders in the numbers ot delegates. Con ! cral lirinkuriiolT delivered an address on thi subject of convict contract labor In which he said substantially : The contract system of prison labor , as n rule , Is more profitable to the state. In dollar' ' and cents , than any other , but on the other hand , tor reformatory purposes , It Is more objectionable than any othur. No change from theconu.ict.system shoulo be attempted until the conditions for an Ini proved administration shall be establishes by the abolition of partisan politics from tlu prison and the organisation of the entire management upon the basis of Integrity , ca pacity and experience. Prison oil leers , like army olllecrs , should have a special training for their work , and promotion should comu solely through honorable and meritorious service. All the prisoners of a state should bo clas sified and each class should bo assigned n prison of its own. In a prison set apart for those serving life sentences , which should also include incorrlglblos and convicts oVei thirty years of ago , the contract system verj appropriately could be retained entire , foi there is no reason why this class of prisoner ; snould over be made a burden upon the tax pajers. In the prison set apart for yount men under thirty years of aeo and convicted Dt their first offence the state account system , is a rule , would bu found the best for rnform- itory uses , although the piece-price plan would sometimes be found eqmilly available and more profitable In dollnrs and cents , but under either system educational and tech nological training should have the largo i : on * > lderatlon. In reformatories for boys and girls the Idcr } f pecuniary profit should not bo considered tny more than in our public schools aud cello lo cs , and the system of labor adopted stioult t > o solely a part of an educational cunlculum Legislators acting upon these principles will be in the line of safe precedents , ami will be more likely tlmn In any other way tr obtain rosnlts satisfactory to themselves ami useful to the state. Ilnturn from Lincoln. At 7:40 : last evening , the excursionists : > f the Charity and Correction conference returned. There was not an accident to bo recorded on the whole tri but mmv jrous incidents of good will and welcome nt cvory place through which the train passed. At Lincoln the reception was right royal. The different state institu tions were visited , lunches wore served , i dmnor given and in fact the guests oi Lho capital city of Nebraska , yesterday huvo not words at their disposal to ex press their appreciation. At the Homo of the Friendless Mrs. Manloy , the super' intondent , made an address winch h highly suokeu of by all the visitors. The welcomes of Governor Thaycr , Mayor Sawyer , Hon. T. M. Marquette were in accordance with the well known ability of these gentlemen. In the afternoon session when General BrinkcrholT's paper on convict labor was discussed the delegates report a decided opposition tc such employment. They said in inter views last night that tlio unanimous opinion was in favor of General Brinker boll's views. In fact the convict laboi system , thuy said , was the only objection tlio.v had to the conduct of the Nebraska penitentiary. As the excursionists alighted the Second infantry baud played EI few tunes. I'rof. GillesjMO , of the deal and dumb asylum , and his estimable wifo.congratulattid themselves cm thosuc < BOSS of the excursion , for they we.rc prominent in having thu conference meet aero. Smith on Prison Contract Lmuor. Nicholas Smith , of Jonesvillo , Wis. , iiombor of the state board which hns the management of all the charitable , penal mil reformatory institutions of the state , is attending tlio national conference oi charities and correction , and on the jucstion of contract labor in prison , lives the experience of his state as fol lows : Wo have tried both the public ac- jountand the contract system in Wlscon- sin and the advantages are altogether on Lhe side of the contract system. For in- Jtanco , buforo the latter plan was adopted , it required an annual appro- priatkm of from $25,000 to $10,000 to pay ill' the indebtedness of the prison. It sost about $150 pur year for each con- net's support per annum , ami during the nine years when the public account system was in vogue , the state lost in the manufacturing department about $30,000. but since the adoption of thu contract jystom , the account stands differently , [ n the past nine years under that plan , the total earnings of the prison have uten about ? ; i.V,000 , the labor being leased for TO cents a duy per each convict. The Wisconsin prison is now not only nearly self-supporting , but the fact remains that there never was a time in the history of the state prison when it was in a butter condition in every respect than can bo named than it is now ; aud everyone who is acquainted with the prison will cor roborate the statement that the work of reform , if reform is a possible thing in prison , has beuii as progressive and hope ful under the contract system as under thu old system when the prison labor was practically non-productive. Wo liavo no trouble with the prisoners who work for the contractors. The latter are not allowed to ill-treat the prisoners in my manner. The discipline of the prisoners is entirely in the hands of the prison authorities , so that the convicts io not feel that they tire under the domi nation of task-masters. This is the way ; he contract system works in Wisconsin , mil it is by all odds the best over idopted , both for the state and the con- riots. _ Ijocnl Charltli-s , tlio Themes. .

Hero is an extract , credit for which is due the Pittsburg Dispatch : "So you eat coal , do you ? " said n smart High school girl in Hagati's a few nights ago to the beardless young man with n high collar WHO was buying the ice- Bream. "Aw , cat coal ? What do you mean , Miss Ethel ? " replied the unsophisticated youth with astonishment. "WUv. I see that you take vanilla fla voring , ' * replied the High schoolgirl with ii smile. "Wcally , Miss Ethel. 1 don't , aw , ex actly understand you , " the young man with the high collar reponded. "Why , vanila tlavorinc is made almost ontirelyfrom coal tor , * ' said the smart high school girl , and she was just start ing with : "Why" , wo learned all that in our chemistry class last " when the fire bell commenced ringing , and she stopped for some reason or other , and an inventory of all she know was lost. The vanilla idea was a good one , and a re porter asked Dr. F. L. Slocum , the chemist - ist , about it. "Is vanilla extract a uroduct of coal tar ? " said Dr. Slocum. "Why , of course it Is , and a bettor nrticlo is furnLshoJ from coal tnr than from tlio bean itsolt Vanilla is made from tolulo , ono of tin products of conl tar. It is used for flav oring ico-crcnm nnd confectionery , on is 5 chemically pure product , whloh vegetable vanilla extract is not. ' "Jhoro nro n Rood many products iron conl tlmt the mnjorlly of people know nothing of , " continued Dr. Slocum. "Thoir number will co Into tlio thoU' Riimta , and research into this purticulni brunch of Inorganic ahoniistry is bring ing now and rich rcwnrds to scientist ! every ycivr. Ono of the hydro-carbons distinctly produced from conl fur is ben zole. This it ) the base of magenta , red nnd blue coloring mutters , and of tlio oil of bitter almonds. This oil fortnorly cnruo entirely from the vegetable product from which it takes its naniu ; but now it is to o largo extent made from bon/.olo , and a < clioniicnlly pnro product Is secured. The veritable oil of bitter almonds contains . n curtain amount of Prussia acid , which is a poisonous substance. Toluene or tolulo is niiothcr product from coal tar , which is the base of a great many chemical * . Hen/oie add , which , used to bo made almost .entirely from j plants , is now readily made from tohinno : Carbolic neld is another nroduct of tolulo. The latter is a colorless fluid with a smelt very much like crude petroleum , while rarbolio aoul and salicylic acid , two of its products , nro far from being sweet- smelling compounds. Yet this same tolulo is the basis of a number of very fragrant products. Wlntcrgrcon oil. much purer than from the plant , ana generally preferred by confectioners and others who use it , is ono ; oil of cinna mon , cinunmio acid nnd oil of doves arn among tno middle products which tire in gruad demand. " As yet the products of coal tnr have not been made use of for medicines to any extent , except as disinfectants : great experiments now going on , it is hoped to procure pure quinine from Chinoline , one of the coal tar products ; and scientists say that it is only a ques tion of time when all alkaloids known , and probably others not now known , will bo made from coal tar. It would take a good-sized book to oven begin to give an idea of the commercial products alone of coal tar. Nearly every know color , except cochineal red and in. digo blue , are made , and the latter was produced after nine years of experiment by the eminent German scientist , Byor , of Munich , but the manufacture ! was so expensive that it has never been done ex cept for scientilio purposes. Tlio Ice- wood and madder dyes of our grand mothers' days nro rarely seen in the mar ket now owing to the cheapness with which they are manufactured , lied ink , which formerly was made almost exclu sively from carmine , is now made from cosine , ono of the numerous coat tar progeny. Our MIMIoitalroB. M ancliester ( N. H. ) Union : The num ber of millionaires in the country has steadily increased , and the number of poor men has been made to increase with them , though in a ten-fold ratio. The nlmshouso records show this latter fact , and a recent statement of the num ber of millionaires , oven u Now York city alone , indicates the cor rectness of the former. There are scores of men tlicro whoso wealth ranges from $1,000,000 to $10,000,000 each , and many who go beyond cither of these fig ures. John Jacob Astor is probably tlio wealthiest man in the metropolis , his possessions being estimated at $300,000- 000. Jay Gould is thought to come next in rank , and there are those who judge him to bo the wealthiest of the two. Es timates aa to other New Yorkers nro in- terebting.
