Financial.

The Commercials money article says:
The stock maj ket continues heavy and in
animate, though with generally firm un-
| dertOne. The most significant feature of
the market is the increase of buyers OPP
tiOns and the almost total absence OF sellers
options. There is a feeble bear movement
upon Erie. The price closed 18 lower at
the board. Reading is still falOrite bulls
stock, the sales at the board being 5000
shares, closing at 1913. Michigan South
ern is steady at Is. Northwestern common
is active, aud closed 38 better. Rock ISL
and sold at l241s@l25. The miscellaneous
less quiet, though generally firm. G vern-
menLS quiet at about the prices of Satur-
day. lO-40s were 18@4 better. The bank
statement presents some unusually large
fluctuations. The loans exhibit an increase
of $S9564I2 which is due largely to an in
crease in call loans. and probably also to an
increase of temporary loans to the Treasu-
rY. The deposits show an increase of 81,
654720. The increase of $26,77l,060 is due
To the payment of gold on account of tho
May coupons.
Money is in rather more demand on call
loans. The rate is still generally per
cent, but in some cases per cent. is paid.
Discounts are without change, the rate
on prime paper ranging at 5@l2@7 per
cent.
Foreign exchange is quiet but steady.
Prime bankers GO days sterling is quoted
at l094@%, Commercial sterling l0S14E
lOS3s. Francs, bankers long date, 5l634@
5l5.
The China's news, reporting quotations
for cotton and American securities, had the
effect OF strengthening the premium on
gold, the price advancing to l2S24. There
is all ample supply of gold Tor all street
purposes, borrowed gold being generally

Nitro.GIycerine.
expect

The recent terrible explosions from the new
chemical compound known as nitro-glYce-
rine, shows us what tremendous agencies
NAV lie concealed all about us in the ordinary
elements of nature. Forces OF the most ter
rife energy slumber peacefully in Their
natural resting places until walked by the
skill OF man. Some of these we are already
familiar with, but doubtless others OF equal
potency await discovery. Indeed, the whole
fabric of nature is permeated and bound to-
gether by forces concerning which man
knows but very little. We experiment here
and there, and note results. We make some
of these results serviceable to us, and deduce
the laws which seem to govern them; but
every now and then a terrible catastrophe
an exhibition of force which we had not
counted on, and which our induction of facts
had not reached-shows us how ignorant we
are. We have used steam for many years,
and are apparently familiar with many
of the laws that govern its action, yet
both science and experience are utterly
at fault with reference to any reasonable
explanation of many of the most terrible eX-
plosions Of steam boilers that occur. There
seem to be certain conditions under which
steam exhibits a force altogether incom-
measurable with any of its ordinary manfes-
tations. So with this nitro-glycerine: while
its inventor claims that it can be handled
with more safety than gunpowder, and that
burning match may be applied to it without
causing an explosion, the recent terrible
catastrophes that have occurred in connec-
ton with it, as well as others reported to
have occurred in the Old World, show that
the laws oil its action are very imperlectly
understood, and that it is an agent of such
wonderfully destructive powers as to render
its practical application to any useful purpose
very doubtful 1t may be that further ex-
peliments with it, and practice in its use, will
point out the conditions unoer which it may
be safely handled. There is evidently power
here which, if brought under the control of
man, could be usefully applied. 1t might.
perhaps, supercede gunpowder, both for
blasting and for gunnery; but thus far, the
dangers attending its use lar outweigh its
probable utility In any direction.

SOLDIERS MESSENGER CORPS. - The
pleasant idea of assisting manned and injured
soldiers by giving them occupation in their
leisure moments, in some easy form, is attract
ing the attention of the public, aud viii be-
come popular as soon as its merits are gene
rally known, A one-armed hero can easily
carry package and receive an equivalent
for the service without feeling that he has
lowered his personal dignity. There is
nothing in this that indicates mendicancy
He proves, although the fatality Of war has
rendered him incompetent to discharge the
daily duties necessary to the support of his
family, that he iS still willing to support him
self in some way or other. The Soldiers
Messenger Company desire and expect to
meet this very need, and it is to be hoped
