Kdhem Pasha's Stores Captured May
Withdraw Turkish Troops From
Crete.
Athens, April a3. (Cable.) After
the bombardment of Kathrine, on the
Gulf of Salonica, when the Greek
squadron had put to flight two battal
ions of Turks and tho inhabitants of
that place, the Greeks entered the en
trenchments and found that the Turks
had left the immense stores of
lidheni Pasha. The valuable stores
liad been left almost unpro
tected, in the belief by the Turk
mat a blockade ot Oreece by the neeU
of the powers would prevent the Greek
fleet from attacking the Turkish towns
oa the Gulf of Salonica, which, ore near
the railroad station of Salonica, and
which have been used to land stores for
the Turkish army and forward them to
the front. I he capture of these towns,
not to mention the loss of the btores.
places a serious difficulty in the path of
ildhem Pasha. It is stated here that

Dread of all Europe Becoming In
volved Upsets Markets.
AMERICAN PRODUCTS HELPED,
Such as Wheat and Corn, the Exports
of the Latter Heing Abnormally
Large.
The Weekly Trade Review of Messrs.
P. G. Dun & Co.. for the week ending
April 23d, says:
If either Turkey or (ireece had been
wholly buried in the sea. markets
might have been affected less than by
the outbreak of war in Europe. Like tire
in the heart of a crowded city, it raised
Ihe question if a general conflagration
may spring out of it. To this possibil
ity and not to the direct influence of
either Turkey or Greece upon the
world's money or produce markets, was
due the excitement in grain and stocks.
As the unknow n is magnified, Ameri
can markets were much more flight v
than Luropean, where the possibilities
have been discussed nnd partly dis
counted for months. Put the uncertain
ty remains and w ill affect the Movement
of money and staples until it disappears,
creating n large demand for Amer
ican products at higher prices, causing
hasty speculative sellingof seenritiesat
times, but also continued buying by for
eign investors, and not improbably in
fluencing the attitude of foreign Powers
on questions important to this country.
Wheat rose six cents from Thursday to
Monday, and has retained most of its
rise. Since Kussia and the Dauubian
States will be likely to ship wheat scan
tily, especial need's and much higher
prices being possible there, a larger
share of the requirements of Western
Europe may naturally be draw n from
this country, and the chance of war be
tween the great Towers has the more
influence because supplies held are not
large.- While Western receipts do not
yet increase, and in three weeks have
been but 5,041, OtiO bushels, against 5,
iWil.l'.IO last year, Atlantic exports begin
to gain slightly, amounting to 1, i!ii.:(20
bushels, flour included, against l.i.S5,
7tio last year, and for three weeks have
been .VjH, 170 bushels, against ,4W,
070 last year. Put the great increase is
still in corn, of which the price has
scarcely advanced, although Atlantic?
exports were 4, ISO, 140 bushels for the
week, and for three weeks 10,221,151
bushels against 2.024, 7:i2 last year.
Already the exports for the crop year
have beeu IM.OUO.OOO bushels larger
than Atlantic exports of wheat and flour,
and may soon exceed the total exports
of wheat and flour from both coasts.
Cotton has been affected scarcely at all,
though the Government estimates that
the flooded districts yielded nearly
500,000 bales, for increased acreage
in other sections is generally re
ported. The end or the stipulated curtail
ment has been reached by some cotton
mills, and nearly by all, and since the
auction sale sonie bleached goods have
been slightly advanced, but actual buy
ing docs not increase, and print cloths
do not improve. Sales of wool have
been largely of foreign, reporls being
swelled by arrivals of quantities sold
sometime ago, ami imports at Most m
for the week were 32oO bales. For
the three chief cities sales were .'14,
O.Jii,soo pounds in three weeks, 20.271,
o00 being foreign, against 15.0!i. I0d in
1!nI2, including 7,574,000 foreign. Put
manufacturers are doing scarcely any
thing, and orders for goods improve
very little, though for somewhat better
grades of goods.
Failures for the week have been 21
in the United States, against l:ts last
year, and 21 in Canada against 41 lat
year.
CASII1EK SHORT $4.,4iO.
A Young Man Who Had No Scruples
About Spending Money.
A profound sensation has been
created in Atlanta, Ga , by the an
nouncement that Henry W. Cassin,
cashier of the Georgia, Loan, Savings
and P.anking Company, had misappro
priated some 45,000 of the funds of
that institution. Cassin has always
been known as a young man of exem
plary habits and tine business qualifi
cations. Cashier Casein applied the
funds of the bank to private enter
prises, in which he wished to invest
and lost all. He sent good money after
bad until his defalcation reached the
sum already stated and discovery fid
lowed. The friends and relatives of
the young man have made up the short
age, and the bank will not lose a dollar
of the sum stolen. Young Cassin will
not be prosecuted. His connection
with the bank has ceased and he will
begin life anew.
Chinaman Weds Negro Woman.
Despite the efforts made to prevent
the nuptial, Joe King, a Christianized
Chinaman, of Amerieus, Oa., married
Harriet Perry, a black negress. Friends
of the groom and prominent citizens
sought to interfere and at the instance
of King's partner in the laundry busi
ness a bill of injunction was asked of
fudge Littletohn, of the Superior
Court, the partner declaring that the
marriage would damage the laundry
business. The couple heard of the le-
gil proceedings and seeking a negro
preacher was quietly married.

A decision of the Supreme Court, filed
Thursday evening of last w eek, puts in
effect the poll tax and general tax of
18i5. It was rendered in the case of tho
Governor against the Auditor, in which
the former sought to make the latter
change the poll tax to l.:w and thus
correct the carelessness of the Legisla
ture, which, in the revenue act. ma le
the general taxes 40 cents and the poll
tax only $i.'. The majority of the
court decided that sections 2 and 3 of
the revenue act are unconstitutional
and void, leaving the corresponding act
of 1805 in force. Justices Clark and
Douglas dissent.
