THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT

Of 500 900 OF their State Aid Bonds, to

rate, - . basis Of banking. Upon this
footing, on deposit Of $4,000, the banks
Of Mower County, located at lansing in
that County, and the banks Of Chisago
County, at Taylors Falls. have been sstab-
lished by Mr.. PEAsx.
The sale Of these bonds was perhaps facil.
itated by the fact that the company volun-
tarily gave the State prior lien upon their
road, for their security.
The State Treasury israpidly getting into
good trim. Luther PREsrox, Esq, Treas
urer Of Fillmore County, day or two ago,
deposited $500 in the State Treasury.
The Treasurers Of the different counties are
paying in rapidly. The State Warrants,
we believe, are all redeemed. Future pay
ments into the Treasury will therefore be
cash.
The breaking out Of q war in Europe
which there seems every reason to anticipate
however detrimental to humanity, would ex.
ercise q favorable influence upon Western
interests.
The Pixies Peak humbug is already col
lapsing, and it is not improbable that. by

started Westward by this illusion, might BE-
diverted TO our own soil.

the first snow fell, to February 25th, it will
be seen, was PA inches. Probably the
average depth Of snow at any time lying on

Monetary Matters.

The money market, which has at no time
been overlooking with surplus lands, is IN
dergoiug q rapid depletion to meet the de-
mands Of our merchants who are on the
point Of " starting East" for their spring
supplies. As body, our business men
have met their Eastern bills with prompt
ness which will 90 far to disabuse their cor
respondents Of the prejudice against western
credits which the disasters Of 1857 sowed in
their minds. Nowhere has the standard Of
mercantile integrity been more completely
vindicated than by st. Paul and, as . con.
sequence it is gratifying to note that no
where has the late rsvu.ion left fewer or less
permanent traces than here and nowhere
have the symptoms Of sound and steady re.
vival Of business prosperity been more
marked.
1t is q common observation Of visitors
that business at st. Paul Is more active and
its enterprises better sustained-the conf
dence OF business men better assured than
anywhere else in the west.
In consequence Of the large demand for
spring purchases, exchange is scarcer than
last week. The rates remain the same. We
