FIEANcIAL-Money matters has been q
little more satisfactory during the past
week, and Banks and Bankers have been
able to discount in Eumber OF cases for
shippers, although the supply of money is
short of the demand. The pork packers
are putting in their applications to the
Banks freely. and for large sums, indica-
ting to us that the business is going TO be
very active. and also that IL win take more
money 70 move this crop than last years,
the prices they are paying now being
good deal higher. The rate for money is
stiu 10 to II per cent.
Exchange is firm at par buying and $50 per
thousand selling. The various Express
Companies having advanced their rates on
money all over The country necessitates the
small increase in the price Of Exchange at
this point
Gold declined rapidly since our last re-
port, buying at lbs, selling at $50. The gold
aud stock gamblers or Wall Street have
had their largest excitement, and IN their
big fight some innocent parties have suf-
fered. We are sorry to see the house of
Lockwood & Co.. OF New York, among
those that have failed. This house enjoyed
the confidence Of Indiana merchants and
Others, and it was not presumed for a mo-
ment that they would lend their influence
10 any way to promote wild speculations
of any kind Their failure, and the knowl-
edge OF how it was brought about, occas-
ions great surprise and disappointment to
those who In times past had been their
friends. Outside of the 81 mpathy for those
in cur midst who have suffered losses by
failure of the firm spoken of, the public
would be glad to see all the gamblers ana
bIackIegs OF Wall street cleaned out and
entirely demolished. We hope, now, that
the bottom has been reached, that the
legitimate monetary business of the coun-
try, necessary to be done in Wall street or
any other center, will be on q permanent
basis, and trust that Congress, when 1t
meets next winter, win be able 10 put an
end to tina Wall street gambling by passing
a law so stringent that there cannot be a
sale of gold or stocks, under severe PEN
atty, without the article being actually
deliv cred.
Bonds declined rapidly during the ex-
element in New York, but have reacted
anna and are now uuOted here as follows.
