NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.

The New York papers of Saturday state that the
money market maintains the slight improvement
previously noticed. On the LIST January there VIII
be a considerable amount of money to pay interest
sent abroad !; but thaxste of foreign exchange Is
very low. and it is to be hoped it win not advance
to the specie shipping point There win be great
deal of money let loose on the lst January, and the
natural process OF payment from hand to hand will
facilitate settlements and avoid those difficulties
which timid persons are disposed to look for
These remarks apply here as well as in New
York. The Journal Of Commerce, on this point,
sys:
large amount of funds now accumulated for
the payment of interest and dividends will be un.
locked and this will 60 into the banks. Large pay
ments at the banks always imply large receipts By
the banks.
There is as yet no demand for Foreign Exchange.
and sellers manifest some anxiety to dispose OF
their bills. There must be more activity before the
sailing of the steamer. At present prime sterling
bills could not be sold TO any extent at 105.

TREMENDOUS FIRE AT TRoY.-We learn from the
Troy Budget that fire broke out in large Plan
ing Mill, corner of Front and Division streets, in
that city on the 25th of August, and spread with
great rapidity. A large quantity Of lumber was
consumed. The FIRE spread to several dwellings
near by, and before the flames could be arrested
a large number were destroyed, throwing hun
dreds of families out of house and home. Both
sides of Front and River from Division to Adams
streets, and First street from Liberty to Washing
ton steets were in ruins, and the fire was crossing
the alley between First and Second streets. The
Budget says that the fire is greater than that Of
1890. Ala o'clock the flames were still raging.
Business was suspended. Hudson River Depot

DIvrLGING.-The g Seniors of the Minncsotian
has been edifying the community by exposing the
private matters Of his Office to the public gaze.-
Nonsense, neighbour What do zee or the public
want to know of your private matters. Keep
them to yourself. You show shocking bad taste.
We have got nothing against your partners
Our warfare is with you, and the Railroad Com
pany, and if Messrs. Moore and Pratt feel dis
posed to endorse you, they have perfect right
to do so-we do not object. But we do object to
your charging us with that which is not true,
viz:-with saying that your associates had PROV
cd rccrcant to their party. This we deny, and
you exhibit malicious spirit when you bring them
into the controversy to make it appear that we
had wantonly attacked them. Don't make false
issue; stick to the text. For the purpose of
making distinction, during the continuance of
our discussion, we have almost invariably used
the word 'Senor." Now, finding yourself in
danger, you exclaim-' Help me, Casus, or l
sink ~ For shame on YOU.

TIE WAR EAcLE.-We thought great praise was
due Capt. Blakeley, for conducting the Galena
safely to our Levee in view Of the many difficult
ties he had to encounter, but Capt. Harris Of the
War Eagle, has borne Of the palm. He left Ga
lena on Wednesday and arrived at st. Paul on
Saturday noon. If any body can navigate the
Mississippi, or any other stream, at all times and
under all circumstances, that man is Capt. Harris.
The War Eagle will leave this morning ct 10 o.
clock, and will not make her appearance again
in ten days in consequence Of the absence Of the
Captsin t4f

Cy For the benefit Of the Democrat we will
state that it is the opinion of Capt. Harris, Of
the War Eagle, who has navigated the Mississippi
river for twenty years, that it is useless to attempt
to remove the sand bars at and below Pigs Eye
Bar, rs the action of the water will continue to-
throw up others. He thinks a Dredge Boat would
possible remove the difficulty, but it would be- Il
yearly expense to our citizens, unless the General
Government took the matter in hand.

O. We learn from gentlemen from the Mime

Pros Err BAs.-The Democrat takes excep-
tions to our article on Pigs Eye Bar. This is ali
well enough, but we think the sneering manner in
which it alludes to those persons who made visit
to the Bar for the purpose Of ascertaining what
could be done there, is not gentlemanly. If they
or we differ in opinion with the Democrat, ii is
no reason why they or we should be ridiculed.-r
The mere expression of On opinion in this coun-
try, we believe, is guaranteed to all, and this is
the first time that the expression of that opinion
has been made the subject of miserable attempt
at wit. The gentlemen were actuated by no other
motives than to arrive at correct conclusion as
to what could be done, as they are all very deeply
interested in the prosperity and success of St.
Paul, and all are anxious that the distractions
in the river should be removed. They went there
to satisfy themselves, not in an official capacity.
and we gave their and our own conclusions to the
public for just what they were worth. With the
same propriety we might turn round and abuse
the writer in the Democrat, because he entertains
different opinion. His article is illiberal, un-
generous, unmanly.
We did not say that the difficulty could not be
removed at Pigs Eye Bar, but by removing it at
that point, it would create bar below, and by
removing that bar, it would create other bars for
some thirty or forty miles. This is owing to the
peculiar drift of the water in the river and the
peculiar nature of the sand, which is thrown up
into bars by slight action of the water, and
spreads generally from side of the river to the
other. Our conclusions were not based solely
upon our own experience, but upon the testimony
of the most experienced Captains who ever navi-
gated the Mississippi or Minnesota river-gentle-
men who, for ten years have sailed boats on the
Upper Mississippi. If their opinions are not en-
titled to any weight, why we will then take the
ipst dirt of the Democrat, and concede that our
conclusions have been hasty and that it is the only
source from whence to derive the necessary light
The idea that we wish to scarp and aeer at the
doings of Others" is an erroneous one. If the
bars can be removed from here to Winona, for
three, four, five thousand dollars, so as not to
incur yearly expense and at the same time per-
init boats to reach st. Paul, we will very cheer
fully do what we can to accomplish the object
but it is all foolishness in us to 90 to work, and
do as the Dubuque people have done, expend
large amount of money, and after all be no better
off than when we first commenced. Steamboat
Captains say that the thing is impractical
simply the removal of Pigs Eye Bar, but the in
cause if they are removed, it must be at great
expense, and they must be removed every year.
The sand teiU fill in, and the only way to do, is
to let nature take its course. Show us how to.
remove the difficulty, and we are with you. But
until then, allow US to differ with you, at least,
in gcntlemanly manner.

SHAvING.-We have often heard Spectators
chuckle over the good bargains they have made,
and laugh immoderately at the manner in which
they shave their customers. To them this is plea
sure-real genuine pleasure, but to us there is
far more pleasure in different kind of shaving.
For instance. When worn down with mental la
Dor, and the brain is over-heated with mental
activity, nothing is soothing, and creates So
pleasant sensation as the careful hands of an
experienced barber. You give yourself up to his
care with perfect sang troid, and he manipulates
your face and head with dexterity equal only to
the unsurpassed craftsmanship of the wild Arab.
A good barber is valuable citizen in society, for
evry often for cline he causes the wrinkles in
mans face to disappear, and starts him out into
the world smiling with far better grace than the
shaver of notes or the dealer in real estate. Ho-
looks into the glass, and forces himself into the
belief that he is not bad looking after all, and
then with clean collar, he imagines that possible
some young lady may take fancy to him, and if
SO, he is bound to get married. If married, his
wife greets him more cordially than usual, and his
children Chamber on his knees, not afraid to kiss
him, for fear of his beard scratching their tender
checks. He feels BETTER looks better, acts better,
is better, and all can be attributed to ten cents,
given at the proper time, to his tavorte barber.
Persons in want of the services of MIR. Highwor-
den, can find him in the Winslow House, where
he continues to dispense his favors to all. Fit is
too far up town, step into some of the barber
shops in the lower part Of the city where can be-.
found plenty of workmen willing to transmogrify
you from bear into very respectable specimen
of humanity. By all means, get shaved, but
avoid those places where they shave the pocket
and not the face.

GALENA AND DUBUQUE.-The Dubuque Express,
Gen. Jones' organ, charges Mr.. Washburne, of
Galena, with sinister motives in exposing the
fraud in the Minnesota Land Bill. The Express
will be obliged to bring forth better evidence than
it has already adduced, to convince people up
this way of the truth of its assertions. We be-
lieve Mr.. Washburne did right, and great ma
jority of our people will sustain him.
The charges which the Express brings against
Gov. German, Mr.. Sibley and Secretary Rosser,
are in keeping with its TRADE against Mr.. Wash
burne. Those who know anything about the mat
ter here know that these charges are false. 1t is
SO ridculously foolish for the Express to attri-
butte the repeal of the bill to these three men, that
we will not deign to notice it, For the part Sec
rotary Rosser took in the NATTER he has the thanks
of the community, and whether Gov. German or
Mr.. Sibley have done anything for which they
need feel ashamed, the people know as well as we
do. Hon. George w. Jones tells his own story be-
fore the Committee of Investigation-that is suf-
fcient to show whore no was, and now 10. Tho
people can judge for themselves.
