upon them, At q so Per sc:e, tsbout one-quaytsr
part Of the estimated value Of the nds security
for the boDds) the lands thus sold Must ether have
been taken from the $4,000 sores remaining with
the company, or elss the bonahoders hsve bser DE-
frauded Of portion Of their security. II is not the
lefs wrongful abstraction from the security Of the
bopdholders that the company has seen a. to credit
the interest fund with the comparatively tring sum
received for these lants The amount sold st 90 so
per acre, Up to Janusry J. 1855, was 102577 a:res.
The gum credited for "pre emi:ion and free lands
was s242 372 49, ($l332l 81 less than was received
from pre- emption purchasers.) The average eati
mated value of these lands, when set apart and sp
propristed to sc ure the bondholeers, was sbou.
81 025,770. We therefore say that the explanation
furnished to the Post Is altogether unsatisfactory
Either tie company has deducted the Land sold un-
der the incumbrsnce Of the rights Of the pre-emp
ton claimants at 80 so per acre, from the 345 600
q res which the company was at liberty to dispose
Of being unappropriatsd to secure the creditors o.
the company, and which was the only honest course
to be puIsued-and in which case, the company
has not remaining the 345 900 acres TO mortgage ~
security for the additional 900 000-or else these
Ian ds thus sold have been deducted from the bond
holders securities, involving an abstraction to no
less an amount than $7s3, 1893. Tax

FINANCIAL AND MERciAL.
M ON EY MARKET.

SUNDAY, Feb. 1876 Pm.
Spectators in fancy stocks have no ause to fud
buh with the money market. There Is an aban-
dsnee Of capital seeking employment, bui in 50
shape that no will touch it but the brokers' and
they caLrct find use for all that offers. The banks
find it difficult TO make all the loans they desire up
On their own terms. They do not ask anything
above the ordinary rate Of interest," but they do not
wish TO ock up their fuLds by dscoun.ing long bu.
s'ness paper, and that Of shor. date Of the right
quality ia scarce. The discount line by this weeks
returns. will show moderate increase Notwith-
standing this plethora in the money market, fancy
stocks hang at about the old points. There are no
buyers in tie street and the market il exhausted
The brokers have now great many more fsrcies
than they want, and 1t is hard work for them to in
crease their line. They can get money enough Of
she banks to carry any quantity Of the trash, but
they want faith, without which it wiz not do to
touch railroad stocks. Their position is already
precarious enough without endangerng il stllmore.
they let up the demand, down goes prices, and If
hey continue TO buy, outsiders viii realize on oil in
tEeis hands, instead Of coming forward a. pur
chasen.
Our foreign import trade continues lgh,. The
total value Of imp0rtations into this port last week
was under iwo million Of dollars. Tae export trade
unfortunately is equally limited. This for the
season ia extraordinary. Last week the shipments
ofTece from Boston we're large and they are likely
TO be large from this port this week. Sterling ex-
charge rules 81 OF . 81 per cent premium. This Ia
shove shipping point, and bars can be RENTED at
profit. Two steamers leave this port this week for
Europe-one on Wednesday for Liverpool, and one
On Saturday for Southampton and Bremen. Both
viii take ont large amount Of gold. We may have

time to make up for the drain for export.

The principal items Of import during the week
were o. follows:--Segs, $40 1885, furs, ti5s27; un-
dressed SKINS $45 $40; STEEL $50 1872; tin, ,s2;
tea $33 051 watches, $40; champagne, $2s, 800.
There has been very little doing in dry goods since
cur last, the weather having been quite unpropi
tious but there is reason to believe that we ae on
the eve of something like active movements, Is
more buyers have mSde their appearance; aud these
are understood to be ready 70 operate With some de
gree Of freedom, which cannot bat lead to little
animation, that will be most serviceable and agree
able 70 factors, who have experienced nothing very
cheering for months past. There is no considerable
accumulation o, stock, but the assortment In mar
kst ID good one and will greatly facilitate the exc
cution Of orden--a matter Of decided importance
at period when trade u backward. Prices mani.
feat no special changes since our last.
The inquiry IL moderate for brown and bleached
shestngs and shirngs Of desirable kinds, and these
are firm. Cotton hannels have attracted . little
more attention, ct old prices. Duck u generally lc
per yard lower, but Is inactive. DENNIS and drills
are essentially unchanged. Ginghams are In lighter
stock, but are not much needed, and are h,avy In
price. Lawns and osnaburgs are ~ last noticed.
Printing cloths are In fair demand, and on the i'd
vance. Prints and stripes are saleable and steady.
Ticks are, in . measure, neglected. We understand
that the shipments Of domestic cotons are now very
limited, but thai they are likely to increase within
. few weeks.
Woollen goods contaue ~ quiet - psssible, not
withstsndng the restricted production, aud the i'm

snch % would be favorable to sellers Blankets are
scarcely noticed by jobbers. Fancy cassneres are
plenty, and In moderate request at unatered rates.
Cloths, nAnnels, jeans Ard linsey remain generally
dill ard heavy, with fair amount Of eich article

pose of concerning measures for securing a
survey OF route through that town for the
keokuk, Mt. Pleasant 4 Muscatine r. r.
Thehx was very general attendance of
the citissns; snd . warm interest expressed
in the object Of the meeting.
Resolutions were pa<sed expressing great
confidence in the Importance of the rosd and
the benefits to result to the county from its
construction, and pledging their earnest CO.
operation in aid of the enterprise.
Aresolution was also adopted requesting
an examination Of the route through that
place, and pledging themselves to defray the
expense Of a Reconnaissance.
We trust that the officers of the Company
will respond to this request and make an ex-
animation Of the route in the direction indi-
Gated.
This movements but one of many show
ing the growing interest of the people, and
Of the people Of our own county especially
IN this road. We welcome all such ssmani-
festations" as indicative of truer anpre.

we have always deemed one Of great impor-
lance to the interests of Keokuk and the
county at large.

Committee placed upon the platform of scale hay
ing the capacity II six tons weight Of 3ss ls and
then removed the weight various parts OF the plat
form. With this weight of the Yer
gennes Scale, the bean Indicated $50 lbs. when
placed on the opposite corner, the beam indicated
only 1877 lbs. showing difference of Is lbs. and

showed 3s7 iha request then made that the
weight be again placed the corner FIRST tried

Gated was 1882 lbs showing difference Of s lbs
from the first trial. This variation j. attributable
IN part TO the arrangement Of the platform upon he
bearings which forbds the possibility of its giving
correct weight agreeing with itself. The test
then applied to a Farbsnk scaie, and when the
weight was PLAYED Corner a the platform, the

Logon LAw.--From the flaming resolu-
ton put forth by the Hunker Convention at
TT. Des Moines, for the repeal of the Liquor
Law, We expected their orators would say
something in its yindication Mt their Grand
Rally at Knoxville, on the 10Th inst. But,
among all the able speakers present upon
that occasion, not one had the temerity to
open his mouth upon the subject. They find
that, although the law may be defective in
some respects, the people of Iowa will not
consent to its unconditional repeal.
So far as we have been able to learn public
sentiment on the subject, all are willing that
its defective features should be remedied by
amendment at the next session of the Legis-
lature, without striking the entire law from
the statute. Hunker opposition to this law,
like their wild anathemas against Know
Nothingism, is destined to have glorious
finale Knoxville Journal.
Judge Mcfarland and other speakers on
that occasion are standing argument, SO
long rs they can stand, in favor of the Liq-
uor Law, and nothing that they could have
