Butler as United states senator.

Some friends of Gen Butler propose to have
an election for United States Senator this win
ter, and with this view "private advices' say
be will give considerable attention to the elec-
tion of the Legislature this fall To be sure
the constitutional time for the election of a SEN
ator does not take place till year later, but
that's no consequence. To prepare the way,
perhaps, we notice that the General has been
writing very unhandsome letter to a gentle-
man in New York concerning Mr.. Wilson and
the labor question, in which something is said
about mounting hobbies after they get well
started. The Essex General speaks with feeling
on that subject. Advertiser, Aug. z.

Monday. August q 1850 (

Monday, August 9, 1869. :
Our local Money market continues to grow in ease
from day to day. but it is partly to be accounted for
by the extreme quiet which reigns in the stock
market, and which has greatly diminished the de-
mand for call loans during the past three or four
days. Aside from this however, there Is an evident
Improvement in the amount Of lOanable capital
the banks with corresponding disposition to ac
commOdate outside applicants for help. They are
now discounting freely, although these favors are
generally limited to customers, at Z per cent, for
irst-class signatures but outsiders are glad to pay
per cent at the banks, and from SAG per cent athe
discount houses Call loans easy and quiet at 5
per cent according to cOllaterals.
Gold is exceedingly quiet but firm. The premium
at the opening was 1861, which was the closing
price Of Saturday. and at noon it quoted at 1861
Government loans are again dull but prices con-
tinue firm at last quotations.
Prices of stocks generally were steady, but the
volume OF business was light. State loans were ne
elected. City skies sold at 1929 for the new issues,
with 96l6 bid for the old.
Reading Railroad attracted but little attention,
and was taken at 1860; PENNSYLVANIA Railroad sold
at 81 Lehigh Valley Railroad at 81; and Catawissa
Schuykili Railroad 80 for North Pennsylvania Rail-
road; and 301I for Philadelphia and Erie Railroad
Canal shares were neglected. In Coal shares the
only transaction was in New York and Middle,
Bank shares were quiet, with sales of Mechanics
at 32z6.

peared the pretty blonde, with lively eyes
of blue and delicate lips Of the softest
shade of red and there the stately bru-
nette, queen-like in her majesty, with
hazel eyes whose glances reached the
soul and killed hearts like the shafts of
Cupid. Attention to the play was i'm
possible one could only gaze on the
