o.
The mercantile demand for money to-day is below
the average, but the activity at the Stock Board
makes up for the deficiency. The uncertainty which
has preceded the course of the Money market during
the past month or more prompted practical business
men to anticipate wants early in the season, when
currency was more abundant ana rates less eXor-
bitant.
This provision accounts in measure for the mac
tivity which now prevails in the discount market
and were it not for real scarcity OF currency the
rates would rule unusually easy As it is they are
nigh enough, per cent. on CALL with Government
securities 9@1O percent stock coaterals and the
best discounts 10 per cent for round sums.

OUR AMEnICus LErrER.

AMERICUs, April -, 1869.
Within few minutes walk of Americas,
vast quantities of white limestone can be
obtained, which is susceptible of being
dressed into the finest of building material.
The layers of this stone vary in thickness
from four to twenty inches. 1t is easily
taken out, and will constitute the principal
part of our building material in town here
after. Those who intend putting up bust
ness houses this season should use no other
material. as it will add intellectually to the
appearance of the place, besides being the
cheapest in the end.
Capt. T. c. Hill has force of hands at
work getting out stone for COW stable one
hundred feet long, and also for walling a
cellar under his house.
E. Goddard, Esq. is arranging for build
ing fran store house 24x60 feet, i'm
mediately for d. II. Stahl's use. 1t will
be near the hotel.
Another doctor, whose name we have not
learned, arrived here from Iowa yesterday,
and rented rooms, and will be in readiness
i'll day or two for practice.
There have been upwards of twenty ar
rivals of persons since my last, who will
settle in town or near by. They represent
all classes of business. nearly, and come
from several different States. Americas is
going to build from this time on.
A movement is under way to fence and
decorate with trees the cemetery, just east
of town. 1t is step of the right kind,
and the parties who are agitating the sub
ject are the very ones to make it go.
E. Morehead has sold his interest in the
steam saw-mill to Than. Wise, who will
carry on the business hereafter.
Hill & RuG9les have number of hands
chopping logs on their farm below town for
the new saw-mill. There is great search
ty Of laboring hands in this vicinity, and
good wages are offered.
Winter wheat is coming out better than
anticipated by the farmers. and some fields
are looking well. A big crop of spring
grain is being put i'll all through this section.
Several of the flOcks of sheep in this vicin-
ity are becoming large. 1 noticed Joseph
Ernst's flock of 200 head yesterday, herded
by three boys, and looking very finely.
Two or three other fiocks near by number
from 200 to 800. r.

EDITOR News: Resuming my account of
recent improvements, notice that Mr.. C. D.
BurdicE is recovering his dwelling, having re-
Gently concreted the walls in very comforta-
BILE style This is a very good way of making
frame house comfortable. 1t gives great SOL
idity to the building, and the plastering
stays on much better than on lath. There are
three different ways of doing this: filling in be-
tween the studding with brick, laid in mortar,
using small stones instead of brick, which
takes more work in laying up, but costs less
for material-or taking gravel CT very small
stones and mix in with the mortar and shovel
the mass into boxes formed by mailing boards
to the inside Of the studding. When the mass
hardens by drying, the boards are taken off
and moved up. This makes very nice work,
and l should think very durable. 1 do not
know which is the cheapest-owing to circum-
stances, suppose.

Charley Scheel has fenced in the rest Of his
quarter section and is hedging it.
The past winter has been very severe on
hedge plants that were set last spring. So far
as l have observed they are nearly all heaved
out of the ground by freezing and thawing,
and are dead. This is something that has not
occurred before. believe-at any rate, in cul-
tivating good deal Vi hedge at different times,
I have experienced no difficulty in this direc-
ton. This evil might be remedied by mulch
ing of hay to prevent the frequent thawing and
freezing which does the mischief. The mulch
ing would have to be secured by weights, such
as old rails and stakes-almost anything, in
fact. Such work last fall would have paid
well.

AMERlCUS, Kan, April 10, 81.
FRIEND STOTLER: AS the spring is now
fairly open and the spring immigration
pouring in / thought few words through
your excellent medium of communication to
them might be OF interest, as also il may be
to some of your many subscribers who are
now selling out their farms. There is high
rolling strip of country lying south of the Ne
Osho and north Of the Cottonwood, extending
west many miles, growing wider the further
west you go. This rolling strip-fs mostly I'M
settled save in one place, namely, the Quaker
settlement west of Americas. Still further
west the land is. what is not generally known,
still owned by the General Government. This
is owing in part to the fact that but few know
that these lands can be had in alternate sec
tons as homesteads and under the presumption
act. There is very much Of two townships
that are now open under these acts. Many
small creeks take their rise in these lands, and
consequently they are in the main we'll wa
tered, and good quality Of limestone Is plen-
ty. In q few places small pieces Of small tim
Der can be found. These lands are particular
" desirable to the stock grower. while in many
places good pieces Of excellent tillabie land
may be found.
/ shall take pleasure in showing these lands
TO all who wish to settle on them, or give any
information in regard TO them by letter. Ny
