for accommodation on the part of strictly A Dor.
rowers, were at no time heavy or pressing; and
choice paper could have been readily discounted
or sold at any period of the year upon much more
satisfactory terms than the ruling rates Of several
other commercial cities. But while we admit that
it cannot be gainsay ed that obligations In the least
tainted have been exceedingly difficult to place
tina; country paper has been wholly unconvertible,
and that but few facilities were extended for To-

few failures have occurred during the year. affairs
have thus far progressed quite advanta geously.
No material variation Of any kind has transpired

Gold and silver.
The almost total want Of confidence everywhere
felt as to the stability OF our political and fnan.

iation in the precious metals throughout the
country from the opening to the close OF the
year. Every movement affecting the national

financial equilibrium. Every rumor Of an impend.
lug difficulty with foreign powers has been per.

disafection tortured to the utmost extent By ava.
ricious capitalists and cormorants that they NAV
the better prey upon the unconscious and already
much ground down masses. As q consequences
rates of greenbacks have constantly 1uctuated
and the standard Of gold and silver has been
nominally quoted accordingly. In this city the
daily operations in gold have been at times con.
siderably in excess Of all precedents, while the
total movement for the year will probably fall
short Of some former aggregates. The supply OF
Slver has been OF an unusually restricted chsrac.

almost wholly failed, and the amounts offered for

Foreign Exchange.

In the wide range OF monetary and financial
movements, Foreign Exchange looms immea surs.
Oily above all other agents as an adjuster of
balances between nations as well as individuals.
But few years have rolled by since the South fur

meet It's total requirements on settlements with
psrtes on the other side Of the Atlantic, the
Crescent City contributing the greater part
thereof; and now, impoverished as we are. our
contributions In the same direction appear TO be
the only check to total depletion Of the Gold
supply in the United States. During the past
year, owing to falling of in exports, the Ex.
change movement showed a slight diminution.
but, with increasing agricultural success, we can
not fail to again control the balancing power OF
the government exchequer at no distant day.
Rates have huctnated 10 q considerable extent
throughout the year, owing almost exclusively TO
the sudden and violent alterations in quotations OF
Gold and foreign bills at New York, but as we
furnish full particulars OF the movement in our
Foreign Exchange table, it is wholly unnecessary
TO further refer to them here.

CHINAwoMAN SHOT. - About 2 o'clock
yesterday morning a Chinawoman was shot
at Chinatown by a Chinaman. 1t seems
that the woman used to live with man in
Bannock City, Idaho, and that after her
coming here, he offered seven hundred dol
lars as q reward for her return to him.
Being thus made an object of value, she be-
came bone Of contention; and in order to
attach her value to himself, one Of the spec
ulators of Chinatown married her the other
day. This operation seems to have aroused
the jealousy and dispeasure Of the other
Cinnamon who hoped to have go, the reward
offered for her kidnapping; and on the &C.
casion in question. being prompted thereto,
SO it is said, BY merchant of Chinatown.
these Celestial braves armed themselves and
made war upon the poor woman. One OF
them shot her through the right thigh,
splintering the bone in a most shocking
manner. She is likely to die. The shooter
has departed 70, parts unknown. The
woman has been removed from Chinatown
By the police.
