At the drapers' establishments which are in cluded in the above list, and at other houses where only materials for ladies' use are kept, there are for inspection the CHANTILLY, a new waterproof cloak, and the TRAVELLING COSTUME now in general request, made of fine, all wool, shower-proof tweed or tartan, and at the clothiers' and hosiers', where gentlemen's goods are supplied, the RUG-PALETOT (patented by Messrs. Nicoll, July 5, 1889), decidedly the cheapest guinea's worth ever offered to the public. ThA RUG-PALE TOT fits anybody, can be lent to a lady, throws off rain, and is ono of the most graceful garments ever produced. It is a cloak for the shoulders when walk in?, or a rug for the knees in the carriage or at rest. More than 800 Drapers, Hosiers, and Clothiers are re tailing the articles of Messrs. D. Nicoll and Co.'s manu facture in various parts of the country, and their ad dresses will occasionally be advertised, but will be in stantly forwarded on application to Messrs. D. Nicoll and Co. The want has long been felt of a wholesale house for manufacturing first-class goods only—that is to say, a firm which confined themselves entirely to the use of the best materials, made up in the best manner. The higher and middle classes in this country have found that what is called a "low price" is not the only test of cheapness ; real cheapness depends upon quality, and the manufacture of the best goods only forms the main recommendation of Messrs.

Mr. BOWLES has handled his difficult subject with great skill, and his reply to the criticism of the New York Evening Post is forcible, fortifying the posi tion he has taken. lie reduces the debt which Mr. BOUTWELL will have to fund at a lower inte rest to $1,200,000,000, as he subtracts the Five per Cents., the currency debt, legal tenders, and gold certificates from the total. He proposes that bonds should be issued payable at the Government option after 20 years, and redeemable in 40 years from January Ist, 1870, bearing four per cent. interest, guaranteed free from all taxation, the whole on a gold basis. Ile would make the bonds uniform in date, term, and other particulars, except in retaining the power of partial payments by subdividing the issues into series of $100,000,000. To popularize the loan, the bonds should be payable in the three standard currencies of the world, whereby the face in dollars, would represent the equivalent in francs, or sterling, gold for gold, at the rates fixed by the Washington Mint. Agents ought to be appointed iu all the great cities to cash the coupons at the ex act amount they represent in dollars. When unifor mity is established in the currencies of the world, as is fast becoming the case, the United States Triple Currency Consol (as Mr. BOWLES calls his proposed bond) would circulate more freely, and its value would be known to all, the $l,OOO Bond being ex actly equal to £2OO or to 5,000 francs. It has been objected, as we last week observed, that this plan favours the transfer to foreign hands of the United States certificates of indebtedness, which aggra vates the now unavoidable evil of being indebted at all. It would not be pleasant to an individual to find an enemy in possession of his "promises to pay" he could not redeem, but it is necessary, in considering this subject of foreign loans, broadly to separate per sonal indebtedness and national indebtedness. An individual is under the control of the law, while a sovereign nation is controlled only by the fear of an adversary's power, by a sense of honour, and expediency. With nations it is not the debtor who is at the mercy of the other, but the creditor, which exactly reverses the position. There is no force, then, except to the foreign purchaser of the bonds, in the inadvisability of their being held by fo reigners in case of complications, but 'there is the danger that such complications might so rapidly send back the bonds as to derange, in an emer gency, the Money Market of New York. This is an unavoidable evil, which may, in the way BOWLES suggests, be mitigated, but cannot be wholly removed. He maintains that his plan - of making the debt payable in the three chief curren cies of the world would keep the bonds in the strong boxes to which they had found their way, as cons fidence in the holder would be inspired both by his ability to estimate the value in the coin of the coun 'ry, as well as in the knowledge that he can receive the interest in his own capital in the currency that there circulates. But these considerations favour the transfer of the bonds into foreign hands abroad. Yes, they must go, for there are no means except one by which they can be prevented, and that one can only be regarded as a farce. If Americans will give par for their debt reduced to three per cent., the question will be set at rest for ever; but though it might have been possible, by subscription, to pay it off (fur the persons who subscribed would have received - some equivalent in credit for their patriotism), as_ they cannot get any in such action, the bonds will obey the economic law, which always, in the end, and in spite of sentiment, regulates these matters. We venture to assert that if the citizens in a fit of pa triotism took up their debt at par bearing three per cent. interest, the bonds would in a year be flowing freely to Europe at a considerable percentage of dis count ; that is, when the fit was over they would rapidly find their level. Great Britain retains within its own borders nearly all its Consols, because nobody except the British will buy them, and the United States must place and maintain their's on the same footing or the bonds will flow abroad. Now the Union cannot do so ; for it is a comparatively young country, with vast wastes yet to occupy, and a,./1141.A13 .1151a11 &LA tiCl valuable as in England. This sta' eof things must be recognised, and in its face the Secretary should take the most effective means to secure the best terms, dismissing selitimett as outside the sub ject. Mr. BOWLES attaches to these terms a vast importance, extending far beyond the mere gain in interest which may accrue to the United States. He sass — "The payment of an interest rate even a shade or a trifle higher than is just or proportionate to that paid by any other Government, would not only lower our national position and credit, but it would react upon all our future transactions and commercial necessities." There may be more force than we perceive in this re mark, and as it comes from the head of a Paris bank ing house we would be slow to advance an opinion against it. Yet so fully do we believe all such questions to be governed by an economic law, that however they may be influenced momentarily by arbitrarily fixing a scale, that scale cannot long be maintained. If capitalists consider such bonds as Mr. BOWLES suggests worth baying at par, at that rate they will be bought ; if not, they will sink to a discount, while if eagerly taken they will rise to a premium. It is a question of demand inspired by confidence, and though we have not Mr. BOWLES' letter from Geneva at hand, if we do not mistake, the idea is embodied in it, that the floating of the proposed loan will resolve itself into the attractions to a new class of purchasers. Hitherto Five-Twen ties have been held by speculators and those who forestall the bona fide investor. To place the United States Securities on a par with Consols they must be purchased by a totally different set—for trust money, reserves of banks, assurance companies, the provision made for families, and the sums held in readiness for sudden emergencies. These are your Four per Cent. people, and when they become the buyers, that will be the rate which will rule. But we do not hesitate to say that nearly every Four per Cent. Bond will leave the United States, and the effect will be to throw all that portion of the debt into the hands of foreigners. While foreseeing this, we detect in it no cause whatever for alarm; but, on the contrary, we believe the achievement of such a result would in no small degree benefit the United States and insure the peace of the world. Lintening to some Americans discussing this subject would leave those who knew nothing of it under an impression that foreigners became possessed of United States Bonds by a . sort of legerdemain ; and to hear many foreigners arguing it people would conclude that the Americans had palmed off the bonds on them by a sleight-of-hand. The truth is, that the foreigner buys them as he buys anything else, for a price the seller agrees to consider a fair equivalent in what is more useful to him. The exchange means a trans fer to the one side of a United States guarantee of indebtedness, and to the other side in exchange coin or goods to an equal value. Every bond, then, held abroad represents money or its equivalent lent to the United States ; and if an American can use the money of aforeigner, so as to give the lender what to him is a high percentage, while it leaves an ample margin of profit to the user, then that money is most legitimately employed, and in a way alike bene ficial to all. Now this is really what the American Bonds in foreign hands means, and we recommend Mr. BOWLES to assume and maintain even more distinctly than he has this position, when we venture to assert that both controversy and experience will fully bear him out. Sentiment on such a subject is out of place, and sentiment is not likely to in fluence the Financial Secretary to whom the letter is addressed, as he undoubtedly finds money to ba a hard matter-of-fact thing, slavishly obeying cer tain economic laws, and with a ruthless disregard to all else. • BREAKFAST.—EPPS'S COCOA.— GRATEFUL AND COM roRTING.—The very agreeable character of this prepara tion has rendered it a general favourite.
