ARRESTED. On last Wednesday Mr..
Geo. Black, who was sent to Jail in
this county for stealing, seine three Or
four years ago, was arrested Ia Pike

Thompson. 1t seems that Thompsoo
who las . farm in the eastern portion

cold . marc Tor $loe, receiving $50
in gold and so in paper, which hs
put away in his house. The next ia,
he went to a log rolling on neigh
boring farm, leaving no one at hen'
but some small children While h
was absent Black called 1t the house
and found out frvn the children whcr
the money was put, when he sent then
out to gather wood to make fire, thu
getting chance 10 take it without b.
ing seen. When Thompson rcturnc
the money was missed, and the chi
dren telling Of Blacks inquiries i
was arrested, but denied all knowledg
Of It. Two men were then sent
Blacks house, with word to his wi
that he wanted the money, when q

guilt, he was remanded to the Sheriff

It was a halfholiday to-day. There was no inter
ruption, however, to business Money matters moved
on quietly with the usual calls the banks. Being
the 4th of March, which has from time immemorial
been considered day for large qudations, the pay
ments into the several banks that u.s. paper under dis
count and for collection to three millions
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, to which can
be added some small sums with the private bankers
The payments for the corresponding day last year
were 80 800, 900.
There was very little paper offering on the market
Money continues under free supply and those having
anything of decent securities can be accommodated
at from 8, 81 q yet. up to 10 Get Large sums on
good collaterals such bonds and good stocks are
obtainable at q get. inside of 80 days. The de-
post line of the banks is well maintained though a
decrease weekly for the balance of the season is one
of the things to be expected. Our several insurance
companies by the burning Of the steamers Princess
Ranger and W. R. Douglas, will lose something over
$4,000; the cotton destroyed being $3.50 bales
some part of which not being covered by insurance
There will be general partial averages in these
losses They are about as bad as wrecked cargo
and disabled vessel going into Nassau, N. P.
The Exchange market was not SO active to-day
yet there were several transactions. Double Al
sight on New York ranging from ZIG q GIG dis,
which is decline. Five and ten days sight from
ll-l6, "a 1916 dis; sixty days sight II, II a u
ct. dis. Some of the banks declining to pay over
for the best of commercial bills the most of the pur
chases by them were at II q IL dis Sterling was
dealt in to some extent by private dealers at lOs
1854 for the general run of good signatures 1854 o1
AL, and some small sums were taken at lOs GIG q
1889. For remittance fraction over was asked. In
francs there was more confidence evnced. Sales to
the extent of 100000 were made, part at 5.2la and
the balance at 5.l64. The banks which were draw.
