The Miraphee Sentinel remarks az follows on a
recent city subscription by the City Of Gaena, H. to
the extension o. the Milwaukee and Mississippi South
ern Branch:
"The Common Council of Galena have authorized
the issue of OOO OF City Bonds In aid OF the aena
and Southern Visconsin Railroad. There is no longer
any doubt thet with good working season, Milwaukee
and Gaena viii be by iron bands within the
next year. The influence of this new and important
enterprise upon the fortunes of city cannot be over
estimated"
The Sperm Oil market is very much depressed, ow-
ing probably to the price having been high for
year or two past that has been gradually getting ct
of use. Sales of Crude have been made at New-York
and New. Bedford as low 81 IS y gallon. Most
holders, however refuse to sell at this price. Whale
sells at 9aSOlc. y gallon.
The imports into the United States from January
to Noyember "a, have been "a, 235 bbls sperm, and
1874, s54 bbs whale OIL against e., SCI bbls. sperm and
ISL 1871 bbls whale in the same time last year.
At special meeting of the Pittsburgh City Councils,
was resolved to petition the Legislature to confer on
the city power to levy additional taxes not to exceed
nine mills on the dollar in 1857 Elk mills the dol
lar in any subsequent year. for the purpose of meeting
the increased liabilities created by the city subscrip-
tons to railroads. Such measure will add materially
to the revenue of the city, and insure the payment of
the interest on her bonds.
At Boston the Banks are still contracting toe mod
crate extent and there is an active demand for money

IL al2 At Philadelphia there s very little alteration
in the Money market since the close of ast week, and
outdoor rates range at 1912 cent Y snnum; most
of the prime paper, however passed at the former
figure. At Baltimore the Money market has been

have been drawn from New-York. At New-Crleans
Money is at p cent for first class six months paper,
and abundance of lenders in the usual way at Bank
rates. Exchange had fallen to u for Etefling, and
$50 a sos for Francs.
The Lancaster Examiner says
The bank panic has entirely subsidized. Confidence
in the entire soveDcy of the FarRers and Lancaster
County Banks has been fully restored even among
those tmid persons whose fears wont to get the
better OF their Judgments.
I'VE are not aware Of anything new in relation to
the Lancaster Bank. Che two Committees appointed
at the late meeting of the stockholders will report at
the adjourned meeting next Saturday, at which time
some definite action will probably be taken, either to
resume business or togc into hquidston. The notes
OF the bank are selling at from rs ~ % cents the
dollar according to the necessities Of buyer and seller
Not great many, however, are changing hands
holders generally wisely preferrng not 90 sacrifice them
as those undoubtedly do who submit to much of a
| shave
