FINAECIAL-The New York Express OF
SafnrdaH

FINANCIAL.-The New York Express OF
Saturday evening says:
The money market continues to work easier,
and the banks are more disposed to loan to stock
brokers. The Treasury Department is paying
out the compound interest notes quite rapidly,
well as the reserve of legal tenders. This is
being felt in all quarters and is the main cause
for the increa sing ease.
The tide of speculation is now setting in to.
wards the Stock Exchange, and present indi-
cations are favorable tor the higher prices, not
very distant in the future.
At the First Board this morning the share
market was strong and rather better in some
cases. There was considerable purchases to
cover short lines, and more disposition to ope-
rate for a rise
The Commercial Advertiser says:
The money market shows greater ease. The
banks are recruiting their resources from their
temporary loans at the Sub-Treasury, and are
at the same time receiving increased deposits
from the interior. Money is offered more freely,
and, to first-class borrowers, would be lent at
six per cent. on call. There is, however, very
little demand from the class to which lenders
are most desirous to loan. Transactions are
mostly at seven per cent. on call loans.
Gold is weak under the reports Of General
Sherman having occupied Atlanta The mar
ket shows more than ordinary sensitiveness to
rumors, and "bulI' operators are not very
sapguine.

The most remarkable exhibition which we have

great excitement not only among the masses of the

yious to fire, but, when worn, will preserve the
body from injury. though the dress be in actual
contact with hame; This he puts on, of course,
before going into the fire, which is prepared as
follows; Two, iron cages are formed to intersect
high, but only three feet wide, with four nings
or doorways:. These he completely surrounds and
covers with light brushwood. which is fred and
when the WI ole becomes, as it were. one body Of
burning avenues, passing in and cut at each
opening with apparent ease and perfectly un-
harmed.
Soon after the wood had been fired the heat was
so great that the spectator could not stand
to II than eight or ten yards and at that distance
only with great discomfort. All who saw the ex-
pertinent We're perfectly satisfied that he could do
ali he promised. In fact, he appeared to be the
only dissatisfied person on the ground for the rea.
