EInance.

The Sherman resolution in the Senate
is generally regarded as IN index of the
feeling of Congress against any immedi,
ate disturbance of the greenback curren.
cy, which is found, by the experience Of
the last few months, can appreciate and
gold settle down without contraction,
and on the improved condition of the
country. The consequent accumulation
of gold at the great commercial centres,
it is alleged, is such that wen if the ex.
changes should turn later in the season
there is an abundant surplus for export
after the cotton and other produce bills
are found to be inadequate for the settle
ment of foreign balances.

Although the price of strip is at

mainly to the large quantities Of an
inferior quality which must be sold
before the warm weather sets in, and
which is therefore forced unon tho
market, even at the low price ut
which sirup is now sold, It affords
better profit to the producer than
coin or wheat.
Another reason for the low price
OF sirup, is the fact that the article
has not acquired delate position
III the market, enabling il 10 be bot
and sold conveniently as II regular
commercial commodity. The causes
which thus operate to depress prices
and keep Sorghum out of an ''appro-
pirate healthy relation" to tue mar
ket, are fast disappearing.
No danger of still lower prices
need be anticipated from an influx OF
tropical molasses. The Gulf States

1t Is not many months since cor
ored man came TO this city from
abroad. A New York merchant had
been in, business connection with him
for several years, and from that busi-
ness connection had realized a for
tune, and felt that he must treat him
kindly. When Sunday came, he ipyi-
ted him to go to church with. him.
He went, and the merchant took him
into his own pew iienr the pulpit. in
very fashionable church. There
was a prominent member of the
church near the merchant, who saw Z,
this with great. -anazement. He
could not be mistaken; !. it was a gen-
uine Sniggesn and not counterfeit.
Midway in his sermon, the minister
diseoveredh him, and was so.confused
by 1T that he lost his place and almost
broke down. toII -
After the service the man who had
sat near the merchant went to him.
and in great Indignation asked -
