FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,

The statement of the New York associated
banks for the week ending Saturday lSst shows
the following changes when compared with
that Of the previous week: A decrease of
2,27817S in legal tender notes, S6,5iA6l0 in de-
posts, 81 in loans and S969, s2 In specie,
and an increase of $50, i24 in circulation. The
money market showed further signs Of relaxa-
ton, and under moderate demand from the
Stock Exchange the supply of loanable funds
was ample at seven per cent. on call. IT is
probable, however, in view of the pnfa vorable
character OF the bank statement for the week
and the near approach Of settling day in
Pennsylvania and several of the Eastern States,
as well as the time Tor making up the quarter
ly returns Of the national banks, that there will
be seven per cent market for the next two or
three weeks, although there is no ground for
apprehensions Of stringency, unless prod uced
by artificial causes. The gold market was un-
settled, and the fluctuations were from 1873 K to
1917, with the closing transactions at 1891
Government securities were strong and active
and there was a further ad vance of about \
per cent IN the latest issues of fve-twenties and
Of 4 and in seven-thirty notes.

THE WORKING PEOPLE.-The workmen at
the New York Central railroad workch hops at
West Albany struck on Saturday for increased
wages. An order was issued some weeks
since by Vice President florence, reducing the
hours of labor from ten to eight hours, and
wages twenty per cent. On Friday an order
was issued fixing days labor at ten hours
and increasing wages ten per cent. The men
unan imously refused 70 go TO work, and de-
manded an increase of twenty per cent for
eight hours work. They paraded the streets
on Saturday, about five hundred strong, but
made no violent demonstrations. Dispatches
have been received from Syracuse and other
shops along the road expressing sympathy
with the men, and ayowing a determine ton to
follow their example, the order applies to
the Hudson railroad. Also, a delegation from
the workmen at East Albany came over on
Saturday TO express their sympathy. 1t is be-
heyed that the strike will be general A Rhode
Island newspaper reports that the strike among
the spinners at WOOnsocket in that State, still
continues, and adds that last week a number of
spinners from Philadelphia arrived there, ex-
pecti3g To 90 to work. but they were met by
the old hands, persuaded not to do SO, and re-
turned on the next train. The plasterers of
this city commenced a strike to-day for SJ Der
diem, in accordance with resolutions adopted
by the Plasterers' Society some weeks ago.
The strikers are about one hundred in number

Initiating a Candidate.

The method of initiating a caudi-
date into the Good TempIars is nut Il
slight improvement upon the same
programme so long in vogue by tina
ancient and honorable fraternity Oh
the "Sons of Malta" A chap who
was taken from a larger beer saloon,
where he got tight without knowing
that larger would intoxicate, was put
through the cold water treatment by
the Good TempIarS a few evenings
since. He peaches on the Templaro,
and gives the following expose OF their
initiation ceremony, for which, no
doubt, he will be put through another
course Of cold water sprouts at the
next meeting Of the lodge. In the
first place, the victim for initiation is
blindfolded, bound hand and foot, and
thrown into d cider press and pressed
for five or ten minutes. This is done
for the purpose Of clearing his system
of "old drinks" He is then taken
out of the cider press, and by means
of force pump gorged with ci8tern
water, after which a sealing plaster
is put over his mouth, and he is rolled
in a barrel four or five times across
the room, the choir at the same time
singing the cold water song.
He is now taken out Of the barrel
and hung up by the heels till the wa
ter runs out through his ears. He is
then cut down, and beautiful young
lady hands him a glass Of ci6tern wa
ter. A cold water bath Is then fur
nished him, after which he Is showereC
with cistern water. He is then MADE
to read the water-wOrkS act ten times
drinking q glass Of ci5tera water be
tween each reading, after which the
Iold oakcn bucket is hung around hi;
meek, and fifteen sisters with SOUR
guns deluge him with cistern water
He is then forced to eat peck of snow
while the brothers stick his ears full
Of icicles. He is then run through ;
clothes wringer, after which he i
handed glass Of water by a younI
lady. He is then again gorged wit
ciotern water, and his boots filled wit
t the same, and he is laid away in a re
frigerator. The initiation is now al
/ most concluded. After remaining i
: the refrigerator for the space Of hal
! an hour, he is taken out and given
