A SPEciMEH TRANSACTION BIT THE STATE BANK.
As sample Of the manner in WHICH the Du-
buque Branch of the State Bank gets rid of its
deprecated currency at par, we state one case,
sufficient to illustrate its practical workings in
pretending to accommodate the people of Iowa
with good currency.
On wednesday, gentleman wishing to pay
DR.. Helburg 1915, and tt use certificate Of de-
posite on the State Bank for that purpose. DR..
Helburg accompanied him to the State Bank to
receive the money. It was paid out, of course,
in Illinois currency, Columbian and other Banks
worth only eighty cents on the dollar at Chicago,
as appeared from the Chicago list with value
specified by the railroads, as published in the
HERALD on Tuesday. But the Bank officer as
sured them It was good. The Doctor then pro-
ceeded to the Julian House to purchase of the
Agent tickets for himself and family to New
York city, and offered this currency in payment,
which of course was refused, except at its esti-
mated value, eighty cents. He then returned to
the State Bank and asked for the current funds
20 which he was entitled This was refused, and
he was cody informed that they had no other
currency--or would pay out no other. He then
asked the privilege Of depositng it, and this was
refused. So the Doctor looses $75 by the opera
ton, and of course the Bank saved that amount;
and the Bank having paid out its stock of that
kind of wildcat currency refused next day to re-
ceive any more of six Banks Of it, as published
yesterday. Now the wrong is in the Bank deal
ing in that kind OF money for some time past and
continuing to do so now. There is perhaps not
a man in town who would dare, as an individual,
do the same thing we have related above, for he
could be brought to justice Immediately; but a
Corporation with legal Charter from the Gem
eral Assembly representing all the people can,
with impunity, do what it pleases. That is a
sample of the way this poor currency is forced
upon the people, simply because they have been
led to believe that the State Bank was what it
pretended to be instead of what it is. This
thing of-of-well call it what you please-wll
have to stop some day, some where, in some
manner. II Dubuque Herald

Dry GooDs.-The abnormal state of the mar
ket continues without expectation of change.
Regular military goods are the only kinds wanted
and the production of these is likely to be NOT
only ample, but in excess after the first outfits
for the troops are complete. Army cloths and
gray blankets are most wanted. The ordinary
demand for goods has ceased nearly altogether,
and both cotton and wooden goods are drug on
the market. The stock of cotton goods is large,
sufficiently for IL months ordinary consumptlon;
and as the cotton factories are either put on
short time or stopped altogether, the difficulty
of getting cotton from the South will not be felt
Should the war be prolonged, however cotton
goods must rise enormously in price There is
very little cxpor. of cotton goods now from fear
of privateers. Domestic prints move very slow
ly-the city and nearby trade being the only
consumers. Prices are firm, as there is dis
position to hold over till next season in expecta-
ton of better prices and better condition gem
orally of things than can possibly be obtained at
present Lawns are quiet. Cotton duck is in
request tor army tents, and prices have advanced.
Heavy cotton goods are held for an ADVANCE.
Light goods are firm without change. D!eached
shirtings are inactive. In woolens fancy cassi.
meres seem the only saleable article. Silk mix
ed goods are in excess of supply. Chalies and
delaiDes are unsaleable.
In foreign goods there is complete suspen-
sion OF dealings. INTERPRETATIONS of the week

to the distance of two miles bursts and spreads
destruction to everything in its way. The ex-
plosion will even take place in the water, SO
