Wis to forget the past and Judge me by the
future.
My story is ended, but am proud to
say that when l was discharged as order
ly sergeant, for wounds received at Get
tysburg year and over later, Captain
Davis, then newly promoted major of the
regiment, endorsed on my discharge pa
per, under the head of character -
"Excellent in every particular. Tic

And there it hangs upon the wall, in a
rich gilt frame, where all who wish may
see *, constant reminder TO me of the
man than whom | love and honor none

The weekly statement OF the associated banks
submitted this afternoon took the street completely
by surprise, owing to the unIavorabe feature COM
prised in loss OF over two millions Of legal ten
ders. The decrease IN this item was all the more
unexpected as the operations OF the Treasury In
the matter OF gold sales and bond purchases have
been In favor OF the banks while the shipments OF
currency to the West were thought to have been
on diminished scale. The banks started from the
previous week with less favorable state OF
aairs than was really exhibited In their statement
then. This fact and larger shipment OF cur
rency than was suspected must suiiice to explain
the large decrease. On the other hand the item
OF specie has been increased million OF dollars so
that the loss IN only about million and
quarter. Moreover, as the deposits and circulation
have fallen on to the extent Of another million, the
decrease OF the surplus held by the banks Ia trne
over million. The totals Of the last two statements

The banks now hold $22, 416, 16l In excess Of the
reserve required by law.
Tho money market was easy at seven per cent on
stocks and six per cent on governments, with ex-
ceptlons at one per cent below these rates on the
relative collaterals above specified. Commercial
paper was steady and dull at previously quoted
rates. Foreign exchange quiet after the steamer
and inclined to weakness owing to the impression
that the recent purchases Of government bonds by
che German bankers have led to the making
OF fresh supply OF bond bills. The range
for sterling was 1OsH 1854 for sixty
day bills, and 1o9A 1927 for sight, with sales of
prime bills at the intermediate quotation. The gov
eminent bond market was strong and active, and
rose clear per cent for most Of the issues. The
rmness Of the gold market and the buoyant tone Of
foreign prices stimulated purchases from the
foreign banking houses and also brought In domestic
buyers. The season Is approaching when our capi.
talists are in the habit OF converting their funds
into governments, for the purpose Of evading taxa
ton. 1t will be remembered that the recent decline
was assisted by these men In order that they
might lay in their stocks as cheaply as
possible There is general rush on
their part to buy now that the mar
ket shows signs of having touched bottom, and
for the rest OF the month the scramble will pro-
baby continue. The following were to-night's clos
ing prices which, 1t VIII be observed were the high

The gold market was strong under the reaction
resulting from the policy Of Secretary Boutwell, in
his sales Of government gold, and q decidedly
bullish feeling was prevalent at time Of the day
under reports that 1t might be necessary to dscon-
tnue these sales In order to maintain q good coin
balance at the beginning Of the New Year, and also
that Congress would be agitated for an increase Of
the currency The price under these influences
to 1885, but here brought out sales by the foreign
bankers, who are tempted to take the profit thus
given them in the double transaction Of buying
bonds on foreign account and selling the gold here
The course Of the market is shown In the following
record OF the chief fluctuations OF the day.
