Howgate is threat ened with serious complications by the discovery to day that vouchers signed by Howgate and supposed to be fraudulent are missing from the office of the Second Au ditor's" office of the treasury, where they had been held for use by the Government in nrnsflcntine the case azainst Howeate. Their disappearance was, it is supposed, caused by persons who would suffer no little embarrassment during the course of a trial of Howgate by the presentation of these vouchers, and the impression is in some quarters that a consideration of some nature and somebody familiar with the Second Auditor's office have much to do with the loss ot these important papers. Ihe amount of money involved is $130,000. Desolation From the Earthquakes. Rome. Nov.; 23. The' earthquakes and rumblings continue in the district, round Milazzo.

Stocks and Bonds in New York The ! i Grain and Provision Markets of ! Chicago! TO i -i t, ; New York, Nov. 23. It was a very narrow market at the Stock Exchange to-day, the total sales being only 176,467 shares, against 236,857 yesterday. It was fioticed during the day that the brokers of jthe leading bear operators were picking up stocks, and it was thought that the breaks in Sugar, Chicago Gas, Lead and Northwestern were brought about for the purpose . of facilitating the covering movement in oiiher parts of the list. The buying for the dhort account was especially pronounced inl the case of St. Paul, about 12.000 shares having been, it is alleged, taken by a prominent operacor. The firmness of the Grangers in the early trading was all the mOre noticeable because of the poor October statement of the North western road, the loss in gross earnings having amounted to $774,000. The general belief that the bond issueS will be heavily oversubscribed and tat the Gov ernment will thus be enabled to incieise its gold reservi by $30,000,00 to $40,000,000 was the main reason lor tne covering movement. There were, however, some weak spots to the market,- notably in Sugar, Chicago Gas, Reading, Lead, Dis tillers, Cordage, Gas aud - Northwestern American Sugar dropped li per cent, to 87, Chicago Gas li to 7U, Lead 2 to 3. uordage 3 to 25, and Northwestern 1 to 97J. Sugar was affected by the reports? of poor business in - ' fear of Congteseiorial interference. Weakness in Chicago Gas and Lead was ascribed to manipulations by the pool in these specialties, and the heaviness of Cordage to the;closing out of an old bull ac count. Northwestern wai sold on a belief that the directors will follow the policy out lined by the Burlington 'and Quincy and reduce tne dividend rate, i Keadins weak ened on talk of foreclosure, and Philadelphia sold the stock down to 16 Near the close Southern railway common and preferred moved up on a report that a block of the se curities had been placed abroad, and that the stock will be listed m London. An en couraging feature of the situation was the drop in Sterling exchange jat the close, due to more liberal drawings by bankers in an ticipation of heayy f orejgri purchases of bonds. Speculation closed steady. The general list shows net losses of to 1 per cent., Chicago Gas leading, j-Pullman gained U perlcent.

The decline, in wheat encountered an obstacle Sin the form of "puts" to -day r Yesterday's break in prices prompted free buying of tiose provisions; the demand arising from aidesire to realise profits on them turned th course of the market to-dav. The annual. "uecemDer liquidation" was still a profninent feature of the trade and should be credited witn mucn of to-day s weakness. New lork was a prominent seller early in jphe day, whilst foreigners were equally as important in the seaboard market. Late in the session the V all street contingent of jpNew lork was taking a hand in the business, but was on the opposite side from the Produce Exchange coterie. The' market recovered the entire loss from the opening daring the latter por tion of the session, but at the close wastilL 4c under yesterday's final figures for May. 'Casbvwheat was weak and ic lower, closing nominally firmer. fe The cash corn market was very weak to day. made so by the continued heavy re ceipts, the speculative department of the trade likewise bearing the penalty, valuf s recovering through sympaty with wheat near the wind-UD. There was a decline of ra. full cent on No. 2 cash eorn and No. 3 was ic lower. Should there be no falling off in theaupplies, the trade expects that present quotations will, with dilhculty, be sus tained." i With a range of Ic. it is unnecessary to say that business in oats was absolutely col orless. Whatever bent was to the tone was purely a matter of sympathy with wheat and corn. Cash oats were i to 4c lower. The decline in product brought out some stop loss selling to-day, but when the pres sun was removed prices rallied, because of the improvement in wheat and corn. There was no encouragement to be derived from the hog market, values in that quarter suff ering early and late, ine early trade was affected bv the feeling in grain at that time.

Nov. 23 The subscriptions to the new Government loan when the bids are opened at .Washington will be a most gratifying surprise to the Government and the whole country." This was the state ment of the president of a trust company who has beep instrumental in promoting subscriptions to the bond issue, i . The financial men who are interested in the movement have been very reticent about the preparations for the subscription and will continue so until the bids are opened for business reasons, as it would de feat their own eff orts"1o secure the bonds if any details of amounts orprices were made public. Some facte, howeyer, were obtained in the afternoon after the close of business, although the yeil of mystery is not alto gether lifted. It is quite certain that the issue will be largely over-subscribed, and the estimate of the leading bankers places me nggiegaw- Bu.uacriuu.un as iuu,wu,uuo or over. . It is impossible to arrive at any informa tion as to the subscriptions of private in vestors, but there are sufficient facts at hand to calculate the subscriptions of the public and private bankers, insurance com panies and bond brokers in New York city at irom- $75,000,000 to $80,000,000. Two large parties will put in aggre gate bids at a uniform price. There is the Stewart party, in which are included the Trust company, the foreign bankers, combined with some large capitalists, whose Dids will loot up practically 550,000,000. A second group-of bidders includes the large gold holding banks, such as the Fourth, the Chase, the American Exchange and the National Park, and the number of smaller banks, which will subscribe for between 20.000,000 and 130.000,000. The prices at which these two combined bids will be made are understood to be on a slightly dif ferent basis. Many of the banks have put in Ibids for depositors at varying prices, ac cording to orders. The bids of both parties are put in individually by the members, but according to a general agreement. It is stated that the price offered bv the Stewart syndicate is about 12-100 per cent, below the 3 per cent, basis. The bid of the bankers' patty is reported to be on slightly higher terlms, so that the bids of the Stewart party wuia, m mat case, nave tne preterence. i is unaerstood tnat Dids trom .Boston wfll aggregate flO.000.000 and from Phila delphia $5,000,000. It is not known what Chicago and the Western cities will do in th matter of subscriptions. bt a member of the Stewart party will present greenbacks at the sub-treasury to 8eire gold. Arrangements have been fully perfected and each individual member of thfe party knows where he can lay his hand upjn the gold required. There is, first, the gojd in the New York banks and in Boston an Philadelphia. Then; there is a plentiful supply of gold ! in Cali iorjiia, which can be obtained if de sired. There is also a possibility that gold will be drawn from Eurone if this svnrlipnfA ooiins a iuu quota oi its suDscriptions ih2 bids or the foreign houses form a con siderable proportion of the whole, and, in anticipation of their success, the foreign exqnange market Droke sharply this alter noon on sale of exchange bv several of the houses interested.

A Steamer Wrecked-Two Cotton Laden Steamers With Cargoes On ""TV' Fire! - London, Nov. 23. The steamer Colonia, from New Orleans for Havre, passed Cape de la Hague on the 23rd. She signalled that her cargo was on fire, but it was be lieved the flames were under control. Lewes, Del., Nov. 23. The steamer Lam pasas, "of the Mallory Line.running between New York and Galyaston, put in the break water this afternoon with fire in the after hold, f he fire was discovered at' 4 o'clock thrf morningjwhen off Cape Henry, and the steamer was headed for the , breakwater. She has a full cargo, chiefly cotton. The ship has been laid on the bottom in the lower part of the harbor, and a tug is now pumping water -into her after compart ment with a fair prospect of saving the ship and the greater part of the cargo. Two passengers, a lady and a gentleman, have tem porarily ianuea to escape tne aiscomiorts oi the burning ship. They are cared for at the United States marine hospital. The ship's sides are reported to be very hot, but the force of the tug is confident of subduing the fire to-night. Charleston, S. C. Nov. 23.

The water, quickly filling the fire rooms, ren dered the engines useless. The steamer floated off the shoals soon after striking. and at 2 o'clock a. m. sunk in six and a half fathoms of water. The crew all took to the boats, saying only part of their clothing. The engineer, with ten men, went off to board the steamer Planter, from Charleston. for this port, but missed her. and it is sup posed they have gone to Romain beach. The steamer will be a total loss. The cap tain and twelve men will go to Charleston to-morrow by the steamer Planter. BUTLER AND PEARSON ABE CHARGED W A POLITIOAIJ TH MAKING TRADE.

B6ggsAin this peek's Progressive Farmer. Mr. Boggs charges Butler and Pearson with making a trade and the former with something like duplicity. This is the first discordant note struck by a Populist during this campaign, j ' Rev. O. L. Stringfield, who is making a canvass among the Baptisi s in this State, in order to secure an endorse nent for the Bap tist Female university,' is here and says he has thus far succeeded in securing $60,000. The trustees now- confidently hope to be able to open the university next autumn, with 1100,000 endowment. As yet, no work has been done on the p oposed building, though the plans are in hand. It is now four years ago since the plan of haying the university here was decided on. The site, a good one, has 'been purchased and paid for. A day or two ago a- little girl named Mitchell, in this city, swallowed a grain of corn, which lodged in her windpipe. It is said her condition is now serious.

This was stimulated" by seasonably cold weathefand a continuance of the feeling of confidence in a near-by improvement in demand. Atthe-South a favorable influence Is a moderate advance in the price of cotton, due to the greater favor with which lower esti mates of the size of the;cottdnJcrop are being received, and to the Spreyalfence of the opin ion that the price of cotton is too low. There has been a good demand for spot cot ton.. Some hippers of Southern lumber complain that' the Southern railroads are. showing preference to cotton. From points in Southeastern Atlantic States some hesi tancy is reported in supplying goods before making collections tor- the fall season's business. - J , - - .

Every flour mill in this city' has closed down ; for an 'indefinite period. The reason given by the millers is that the market is glutted with flour and suffering from overproduction. - A different view of l the situation is taken by local dealers, who point to the fact that the mills are suddenly closed at a time when the question i of cheaper bread is being vlgcr ously agitated bythenewspapers4 So much fraud in the sale of bread has been discov-; ered that the city council is considering a measure tp compel dealers to sell bread by weighs, "' .
