SATURDAY EvESINe, Jan. Is, 1856.
The local money market is steady, and
bankers report no decided change in its gem
eral features. There was a pretty brisk
checking demand upon some of the banks
to-day, but the discount demand continues
moderate, and customers find no difficulty
in getting the accommodations they require.
Eastern Exchanges was in good demand
to-day, and some of the bankers found them
selves forced to every expedient to meet the
calls upon them. Shipment of currency
have been found necessary within a day or
two past, and the market steadily works
closer. Rates are steady at par buying and
LILO premium selling. .fttEE
Our adviees from New York this evening
indicate rather a steadier feeling in fnan-
cial matters. Gold ruled frmer, closing at
lSs4. The strength Of the market probably
rests chiefly upon the +" short interest out.
No quotations for government securities are
given, but prices are reported unchanged. {
The New York Tribune furnishes a table
showing the comparative prices of railway
securities and government bondso on January
I'd and 18th, by which it appears that while
the former have declined from Il to IL per
cent, governments have not varied one per
cent, " and this vibration must be attribu-
ted to the proposition to issue the new forty
years 6 per cent. bonds" The Tribune
adds: "The temper of Congress upon the
financial situation makes it reasonably GER
tain that thorough taxation will be contin-
ued, and that the national credit will not
only be sustained, but advanced beyond the
point indicated by the current price of Fed
eral bonds"
The following statement exhibits the re-
eeipts from customs at the ports below

CHANGE OF BAsE.-Mr. H. P. Malone, re-
Gently of the well-known firm of Malone,
Petit d Co., in the Lake Superior commits
sion business, has withdrawn from that
company and become 9 member of that of
VIM. Hart & Co., having purchased the in
terest of Mr.. L. W. Hart. The business of
VIM. Hart 4 Co., furniture dealers, is one of
twenty-five or thirty years continuance

business capabilities, and while we con

pany which commands SO large a share of
public patronage and enjoys the popular
confidence to an unlimited extent, we are
also constrained to congratulate the firm on
the acquisition of an associate SO energetic,
affable and competent.

DEArH OF Mr.. ROBERT WILLIAMsoN.-It is
with regret that we announce the death
from consumption, after a lingering illness,
of Mr.. Robert Williamson, which occurred
last Saturday morning at the residence OF
his brother, the Hon. Samuel Williamson.
Mr.. Williamson was q son Of the late
Judge Williamson, n of the pioneer
settlers of Cleveland. He was born in the
wear 1892, and resided here ever since,
thus witnessing the growth of our city from
a village Of 800 to q city of $4,000 inhsbi-
tants. He was a warm hearted man, of
an amiable nature, and was much respected
by ell who knew him.
Thus it is that, one by one, all are passing
away who are connected with the early set
Element and history Of our beautiful Forest
City.
The funeral of Mr.. Williamson viii take
place this CMOnday) afternoon, at hslf-past
three o'clock, from the residence Of his
brother, No. ! Euclid avenue.

WELL BATTERED.-A young man giving
his name as Jim st. Clair was swooped up
by the police yesterday afternoon near the
hay-market. He had been engaged in a
brutal fight with another party, both of
whom were brim full Of volcanic whisky,
and he was badly bruised and cut. His
face, near the right cheek bone was peeled,
his nose running claret and his upper lip
frightfully swollen. A large crowd had
gathered around the game cocks, but seeing
the police birds of prey making wing for
them, they scattered in all directions. Jeems,
too, essayed to escape the hawks, but he
couldn't flap to advantage the wings attach
ed to his heels. A veto had been laid on
his locomotive powers, and he was quickly
gObbled up and carried to the stone birds
nest. He felt very bad, and cried, at is too
bad, too bad?'

A FoUNDLINs.-About half pastsix o'clock
Saturday evening q "nice looking boy
baby one week old or thereabouts, was found
simply wrapped up in & basket left in the
hall close to the front door of theladies' en-
trance to the American House. 1t was dis
covered by a lady boarding at the hotel,
whose attention was particularlydrawn to the
basket by noticing the coverlet stir, where
upon she instantly OWNED hat there was
another infant Moses in the FURNISHES. The
porter was summoned, and when he lifted
the cloth with an eager eye, behold a Wig
orous plump child, alive and kicking. The
ladies took ait" in eharge,-"it," by vir-
tue of usage, although by nature, che
and found that it was very neatly and com
fortably dressed, and, as one lady said, chad
no Irish smell about it." They also averred
that it was a "nice-looking" baby. 1t has
q pug note, or next to no nose at all, as is
always true Of specimens Of the genus
homo at that somewhat unrobust age. 1t
has not a very plentiful supply of hair or
its head, and as for beard, there 3 not yet
the shadow of an indication. 1t occupies
itself in the effort to swallow both its fists,
and seems in perfect bliss when it succeeds
in getting both down as far as the crook at
the elbows. Its appetite is excellent, and
there are as yet 10 signs of dyspepsia or
govt. 1t thrives on what it feeds on. 1t is
very smart, and thrashes around and kicks
only as a child can kick who has a large
development of muscle on its legs. As it
does not cry, the conclusion is that it is not
afflicted with wind in the stomach, and so
neither soothing syrup nor catnip tea has
been provided. 1t is a universal pet, and
was yesterday bobbing all day long, from
one brace of female arms to another,
all the lady inmates o. the hotel being eager
and infatuated to do the honors to this new
born King. 1t did MT seem to care much
which was its "Ma," being no especte
of persons. Not a word in writing was
fonnd in the establishment, setting forth the
" an~tecedents of this nimble little fellow.
1t is altogether probable, however Minded
we may set it down as a fact,-that he was
born, has a " pa" and a "ma " like other
folks, and can not say, with Topsy, that he
"growed."
1t was thought best, Saturday night, to
send the baby to the IRirmary yesterday,
but it was concluded better to keep the wee
stranger a day or two in the hope that some
forlorn couple would eagerly claim the pri-
vilege or right to adopt it. Who want a
boy, a nice plump boy, not yet to old to be
taught good manners ?-who bids, who says
'I'2-going, going, once, twice, fair warn
ing, gone: Who's the bidder?

LEGAL ORGANIZATION OF THE BOARD OF
TRADE.-At the opening of the session of
the Board of Trade on Saturday afternoon
the President, Mr.. Philo Chamberlin, an
nounced that the prime object of the meet
ing was to take into consideration a plan
for securing the legal organization of the
Board. 1t had hitherto been, and now is,
amere voluntary association, he said, with
out other power than that of the individual
members. In Wisconsin and Michigan the
organization of Boards of Trade and Cham
bers Of Commerce is provided for by law.
The Board of Trade of Cincinnati lave a
charter secured. Such organisation enables
them to have and control property. In
Chicago and Detroit the Boards own the
buildings in which they hold their sessions,
houses, libraries and various property over
which they have legal control, &c. He felt
that it is high time for the Cleveland Board
of Trade to take action looking toward legal
organizatin.
Mr.. Geo. W. Gardner introduced the fell
lowing resolution, which was unanimously
adopted:
RssolUsd, That a committee of five be ap-
pointed by the chair, of which the Presi
dent shall be the chairman, to consult and
report to this Board at some future meet
ing, what legislation will be necessary tc
make the Cleveland Board of Trade an in.
corporated or legal body.
The committee consists Of the following
gentlemen Philo Chamberlain, Geo. ".
Gardner, ]. F. Freeman, NJ. B. Clark, Geo
H. Burt, William Edwards.

The MBANEsT ACT YET.-Two Of the
large panes of glass in Baldwin's show win
dow were found shattered early yesterday
morning. A stone of considerable size lay
quite a distance within the establishment,
showing that the act was done out of spite
by some one not brave enough to deal face
to face with the person whom he sought to
injure. The cost of such panps is a very
considerable item, but that consideration is
not of a feathers weight against that of in
convenience in getting from the East a
glass to all the void.

Who IS sHEf-Mr. Clark Warren informs
us that q little girl nine or ten years old ar
rived at the Union Depot from Columbus,
Friday afternoon, bearing a letter from
Capt. Wilson, directing the little thing to
seek his wife, who lives on the West Side
or in Brooklyn. The Captain was on
his way to Washington when he sent
the girl this way. A carriage
driver named Barrett was sent with
the girl to find the residence of Mrs. Will
son, but he was not able to learn that such
q family lived in the city. He accordingly
drove back to the depot, when Mr.. VIM.
johnson, No. p Frankfort street, kindly
volunteered to take her to his house until
she should be called for, either by Mrs. vs.
or by a sister of the little girl, whom the lat
ter said is living in the atty, and married to
a man named White, who was formerly a
member of the 25th Ohio Battery.

RAILwAY STOCKS.
Railway speculation opened steadily this morn
ing and there was a moderate demand for stocks,
generally at about closing rates of last evening.
There was a heavy business transacted with con-
siderable animation on the Pittsburg and Old
Southern. At the second aud last boards railway
speculation WAS firm and rather better. On some
shares bsars have been covering to a considerable
extent to-day and the rise is due to this fact more
than any other disposition to operate for an ad-
vance.
