The printers mado sad work with the money
article in oar last issnc, hut it Is hardly worth
while now to correct the blundcss.
Today the supply Of cnrTcney was eonsider-
Rb1y improved end exchange Was therefore held
moro firmly. The two principal causes were
that less ac.isity was felt in the pork trade, and
merchants and others have been drawing down
their balances md investing them In exchange
in anticipation Of higher rates. part. having
notes to pay on the first Of January have pur-
chased in advance, expecting to save pretty
fair interest on the higher rates which it II be-
lieyed will then rule the market. Purchasing
rates to-day were i@i; selling l per cent With
increased frmness.
We hear that within the last few days such
vas the scarcity Of currency along the Illinois
RiEer, that buyers there hayo issued Nehraska
cus4ssey tndorsed bY parties Of known respon'
s,bilty. Tho experiment is dangerous one
and eur advice Is that "NebraslA" be retired
1t once.
Money for every other purpose but pork or
produce operations is extremely close. Our ad-
vices, however, from, every part Of the West re-
port more cheerful feeling in business circles
The amount OF money distributed within the
last few months for grain, beef, pork and other
products is immense, and is beginning
to inspire we'll grounded confidence for the
future. What is specially encouraging is the
fact that il is carefully applied to the payment
Of debts. II Is believed that liquidation haa
ncyer before been SO rapid and general at the
West. We hope every reade- Of the Pnsss AMI
Ta1puxs who owes dollar will adhere rigidls
to the debt-paying policy till every obligation
is eaectually "wiped out" Wewant to see tht
day when the East wilt be obliged to pay tl''
West in cosn or its equivalent for t1'
products Of our teeming prair1cs, san'
not in. notes long "past due" Viii
firm adherence 70 the policy 80 success
fully pursued for the past eighteen months, th
West w,ll sooa achiere an Independent fiuancia
position, and be ready to euter upon new ca
reer Of prosperity and progress.
