Mr.. PeABoDYs BANKING HoUsB.-Mr.
George Peabody, Of London, has forwarded
to the New York Times a note in reply to
statement concerning the liabilities of his
house, the substance Of which is contained in
the subjoined paragraph:
'About the goth of November, v hen the
money panic in the United States and Europe
was raging and appalling, my house consid-
cred it wise and prudent to adopt a course
which would eflectually protect its own credit
and save many correspondents, who were I'M
able to meet engagements by remittance, from
Inconvenience and loss. The aceeptances of
my house at that time were e., 300, 900, mot
96,OOO,OOO) and our application to the bank
was for loan, on good securities, for $780,
600, should so much be Eequired The appl-
cation was acceded to, and within few weeks
after we took 100000, depositng securities
of our own for the same. Up to this time we
have taken no more than $500, 900, although
the securities deposited amount TO a much
larger sum, and since that time my house has
paid more than { 800, 900 of the e. 300 600
acceptahces out, as stated at the time Of is
application at the bank. We will further re-
mark, that the strength. of our principal cor
respondents is such that our losses on the ec-
oeptances above stated, given on their account,
will, be comparatively but triiiug,"

London, Saturday A. M.-The times city
article says The funds are moderately steady
today, but the market is without animation,
and manifestation encouraged in French ofIic-
ial military quarters would probably have led
to further Depression but for investments on
the part OF bankers and others, who, in the
present state Of the discount market, are un-
able to employ their money except in govern
ment stocks and exthequer bills.
The Daily Netos City Article says I" This
has been dull day in the Stock Exchange.
The funds experienced very little variation,
and closed the same as Thursday. The share
market, especially for British railways. was
weaker. In the Stock Exchange il was
scarcely possible TO lend money on govern.
ment securities, at any rate, however low.
In the Stock Exchange loans arc obtainable
at from to per cent, and In the dis
count market exceptional transactions have
taken place at below per cent.
The London and country banks have today
decided TO take in nofrcsh deposits at a liRht.
or rate than per cent The Union Bank has
also reduced allowances TO l-2 per cent.
Nearly 600, 900 IN gold was taken to tho
Bank Of England today.

"Such had been the alarm Of the Gov

Death OF Thomas III Benton.

Old Bullion, the compeer Of Clay, Web
ster and Calho n, is no more. He died
at Washington, about II o'clock, April 8,
of cancer of the stomach. We extract the
following from the ST. Louis Republican
The telegraph upprised US, abou, a
o'clock last evening, OF the death, IN
Washington CT y, OF THOMAS II. BEN
TON. No other particulars were then
communicated, except that both Houses Of
Co gress, in token of respect for the de-
ceased, immediately a adjourned. This
was an appropriate testimonial Of respect
inaslnuch as Mr.. Benton, was a member
of the senal, for thirty years. and after.
wards served " years as a Representa-
tive from the ST. Louis District. The
critical condition of his health had 10 som
extent, prepared the pubIic mind 10 hear
of his death, but il occurred at a some
wha, earlier period than was expected.
Ills disease has been termed cancer of the
stomach, and a vigorous constitution
could only be interposed 10 postpone. not
prevent his dissolution. In the 74lh year
Of his age. calmly, with a full knowledge
of his condition. he put of this mortal
coil" and even now he is at rest.
There are those who knew Col. Benton
long, in his social and political relations,
who will be summoned and will do ample
jusIce TO his memory and character.
For nearly forty year. he filled a large
space in the public eye. Even before his
election as Senator from Missouri. he vas
no, un nown TO fame but it was only af.
ter bis election in 1920. that his name be-
cattle associated with the name Of he
most Ill,is'rious men ~ the country. HIS
Senatorial career. for two-thirds of that
period, was undoubtedly a brilliant one,
but that brilliancy was not such As we all
accord u Clay, or Webster, or Calhoun.
or Barton, or ~ Of those Senators who
are regarded in the public esteem a. his
cotemporaries. He was a man of gre; I
labor, of indomituble will. impelled in
every action Of his life by a desire of sue.
cess, and tasking every faculty of his
mind to bring about that result. What he
has done for Missouri, what he has done
for the country. what he has done for hi,
own fame, is matter for the historian, aud
we shall moi encroach upon his prvince.
Undoubtedly, in the last years of his pub.
ic career, he aspired to a higher position
in the general esteem than attached t;
him while he was q partizan Senator, ant
one common voice has accorded to hin
high praise for his devotion to the I'm
ion of thasa States
In his family relation, Col. Benton, il
said to have left behind him all the re
serve, if not the austerity, which distin
guished his political associations, and Thu
will be regarded as a beautiful trait in hi
character. Looking to his death a
likely soon to take place, it is UNDERSTOOD
that he directed in his will that his re
mains should BE- laid beside those of hi
