New York exchange is close at former rates,
viz. par@ 1sbuyinS; selling 1s@4. Most of
the banks hold it firmly at the upper figure,
and If any concessions are granted, they are
made only to the best customers.
Gold opened in New York at 149Aa, then
1893, closing at 1493s. The brokers here
paid 148@149, and few sanguine parties paid
1872. OF course, they found themselves tout"
at the close.

The Wheat market declined about &c per

Amber Iowa 81 10; No. Spring 81 15@1 1917;
No. Spring 95@96c; and Rejected Spring at
1880. After the receipt of the steamers
news and the dispatches from New York, the
maraet became heavy, but an active inquiry to
fill Eastern and Canadian orders checked the
decline and it closed steady.

The New York Her0d of last Thursday says ::
The money market has suddenly become
quite stringent. This is partly due to the poll
cy of Government, which has accumulated
very large surplus in the b-Treasury, but
more especially to the action of a number of
leading bankers, who being very naturally
alarmed at the excessive and wild speculation
in stocks, have determined to check it by call
ing in their loans and refusing to renew them,
deeming it safer to lose little interest money
than to provoke financial collapse, such as
would have followed the late rise had it con-
tinued. Seven per cent was very freely paid
to-day for call loans, and we heard of transac
tions at even higher rates. Prudent houses are
asking unusually large margins on call loans.
Gold continues dull at last quotations. Mer-
chandise moves very slowly, and the inquiry
for bills is light. The rate to-day was about
1881, with good supply at this figure. A
Federal success in the Southwest, which is con-
fidently anticipated in many quarters, would at
once lead to further fall in bills and gold. Gen.
Banks operations in the Opelousas country
will also probably have the effect of increasing
our supply of cotton, and thus weakening the
exchange market.

DEATH BY DRowN1NG.-A deck hand
belonging to the Clara Eames was drowned on
the last trip of the boat downwards on the

Hines found the body and left it at Carver to
await the proceedings of a Coroners inquest.

The buffers are throwing out chal-
lenges in very loose way. Joe Coburn
challenges any man in America to fight
him, in four months, for 81, 900 or 50, 900,
and he has already staked $500 on his
challenge. James Elliott challenges Dunn,
Bradley, Henry Burgess, or any other man,
excepting Coburn, to fight him for one
thousand dollars. These brave and pug
nacious fellows would do more credit to
themselves, and prove of some use to So
ciety, if they would join the Union army.
They would there get at least as much fight
as they want.

SUDDEN DEATH.-A man named Young,
a German, died suddenly last Monday on the Re-

appears that he was ploughing for farmer,
and found some root, which he commenced
eating. The farmer warned him, telling him
it was wild artichoke, and deadly poison. He
persisted, however, and some short time after
lay down. The farmer thinking he was sick,
went over to him and turned him over; but he
was dead He leaves wife and three surviv-
ing children, having buried one on Sunday, on
ly the day before he met his untimely fate.
Coroner Strother being duly notified of the
event, held an inquest on the remains, when a

ACCDKNT.-An accident occurred on
Sunday to Mr.. E. Biggs, which might have ter
minated fatally, but which, providentially, was
not attended by any serious consequences. It
appears that Mr.. Biggs and his wife were out
riding, when by some means the horses at
tached to the carriage took fright on jackson
street, dashed down jackson and up Third to
Wabashaw, up Wabashaw to Fourth, then
down Fourth to jackson, where, making sud-
den turn, the vehicle capsized, throwing the
occupants out. We believe a few severe bruises
were the only results of the accident.
NOTWITHSTANDING the Indian panic last
year, and the war which has been going on for
over two years, the stream of emigration still
continues to flow steadily into our State. All
our exchanges testify to the truth of this; al

winding their way along our streets, bearing
their precious freight of little prattlers destin.

active part in raising our State to its proper po-
sition in the commonwealth.

Mr. Whitehead then addressed the meeting In a

the meeting At some length on tho subject Of
teaching the children, and low tho truths OF the
Bible ought to be impressed on their minds. He
withed the teachers would adopt the plan Of

and give themselves more tins among the chill
