FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
OFFICE OF THE EVENING TELEeRAPH,l /
Friday, August 8, 1867.

The chief business among the bankers and
brokers continues to be confined to transactions
IN Government, City, and State securities. The
latter especially, for the past few days, have
attracted great deal of floating capital, and
this morning the demand was still unabated.
There are three series, but like the Five-twenty
bonds of the general Government, they are not
absolutely due until period of ten, fifteen, and
twenty-five years. They are already very
popular security, and WILL without doubt, reach
higher prices 80 soon as the balance now in the
hands of the subscribers has been disposed of
The management of this transaction, by which
the old and, in fact, dishonored obligations OF
the Commonwealth are being so rapidly retired
and the success of the new loan are highly credit
able to all concerned, very large need Of
the credit being due to Mr.. Kemble the State
Treasurer, by whom the enterprise was origi-
mated. Il
The Stock Market generally was a good deal
more active to-day, though some of the specu-
lative stocks, including Reading, were of
fraction. Governments were especially strong,
aud advancing, llSt being freely bid for old
2Os; 1925 was bid for lO-4Os, and llOb for May
and November 1865.
CITY Skies were strong, the new selling up to
l0l4; the old sold at 964, an advance OF 1.
The Share market was strong, excepting Read
ING, which fell off to 52'3l. Pennsylvania Rail.

for Wilmington, and 445 for Northern Central.
The miscellaneous list continued very dull
In the PASSENGER Railroads we quote ~ bid for

The Canals were very dull and we have no
change 20 notice in Bank stocks the market
for this particular description of securities being
very dat.
Gold ranges from lao TO I404 and rather
strong at the latter rate towards the close.

MANY poor fellows, strangers in strange

were hastily buried by strangers, who were igno-

majority of the victims were laboring men, who
were waiting for an opportunity to cross the

IN the most uncomfortable quarters, and prepare
their own food as best they could; many, with
ont even a blanket or bundle of hay between
them and the ground, took up their quarters

around in large numbers. The ground upon

The Case of Secretary stanton.

. WASHINGTON, August 9.-The National IrsteHi
gencer to-day says:-"The statement which has
found its way into some of the public prints TO
the effect that the President has ordered that
no further communications shall be held with
Mr.. Stanton, is, we are satisfied, inaccurate. So
long as he is permitted to remain in office,
official relations must necessarily exist. 1t does
not follow, however, that he will attend Cabinet
consultations. These are not held in virtue of
law, but are purely discretionary with the Pre-
sident, who Is neither obliged to confer with his
Secretaries in formal meetings, nor is he re-
stricted to the Heads of Departments IN
seeking advice on public affairs. We
learn from an usually well-informed source
that it is the purpose of Mr.. johnson
to allow this whole matter to remain in abey-
ance for few days, giving time for reflection
on the part of Mr.. Stanton and the friends who
advise him as to the course he should pursue.
If in two or three days he shall still persist in
refusing to resign, the President will suspend
him, by giving him notice, substantially that he
is thereby suspended from the further execu-
ton of the functions of the Office of Secretary Of
War, and that the reason of this suspension will
be submitted to the Senate at the next session of
Congress,D

T Rrlners' Libraries.

The most important implement q
farmer could have to work with is a
good collection of books, adapted to his
own business. Every farmer should
have "Good Library" of f"Agricultural
Books" in his house.
The Farmer needs them himself for o
constant reference. His family, his
wife and children need these books to
learn all about the farmers duties in
which the "head of them family" is en1
gagged. @ 4
A wise farmer, especially if he is an
extensive one, should have "Good
Library" so that the workmen employ
cd can have books to read at home after
working hours. This would prevent
them going away to stores, saloons, bill
lizards or card tables, and there not only
spend their time but money and
strength, and thus unfit them for their
next days duty.
-four farmers would take more inter
est in those they employ, and strive to
elevate them and induce them to give
their leisure hours to Mental Culture, !"
they would find their reward in it by
having their work better and more
promptly done.
This is subject upon which great
deal could be said, but we hope others
will think of il and bring it about as a
good and general custom.-Californid
Farmer.
