The loca money market continues active,
and the outlook, it must be conceded is
not very bright There is a somewhat severe
drain OF money southward, ana as the season ap-
proaches when It is in actiye demand in favor Of
the hog-packinC movement OF the West pinch for
currency the next month is feared, and apparently
with some reason. The banks are evidently losing
in legal tenders, and when the GOV
ernment supplies Of small bills begin
heavy. it Is believed aud loans VIII he more dniculC
to negotiate in our lOca! market. At any rate the
banks Continue on the reserve tack, anu limit their
favors to their 'friends.
We continue to quote on call az 90 per cent. on
Government bonds and at 500 per cent. on mixed
securities. DiScountng is limited TO the absolute
wants Of the business community, to whom the cur
rent rates are not satisfactory.
Gold is rather more active and opened at 3Oll but
closing about noon at l31 rather weak.
Governments attract little attention. either for in
vestment or speculation, anu the tendency Of the
market is d0wnwards.
There was more activity in the stock market this
morning, but prices generally were without change
State loans were neglected. City 6S were steady,

Then Earth Were More Like
Heaven.
BY LEWIS DAYTON BURD1cK,

Ifmore of men, in every land,
We're to their fellows kind and true
If fewer men would raise the hand
To do what they ought not to do;
Were more controlled by power of Love,
Did fewer need restraint of Fear,
More of the bliss of heaven above
Life had, within this lower sphere.
Ifrights of men were more the song,
And self more hidden from the sight;
If men dared more oppose the wrong,
And all cared more to live the right;
If deeds of love, not deeds of land,
Seemed to mankind to be more dear,
Life were below more noble, grand,
And earth and heaven would be more
near.
Ifneeds of men had greater claim,
And sympathy more moved men hearts;
Were lofty stations less the aim,
And more would act well humber parts;
If all more eheerfully would bear
Their burdens mp the hill of life,
More happiness on earth were there,
And less of bitterness and strife.
Were cOlors true more kept in sight,
And less concealed by cunning arts
If secret thoughts exposed to light,
Showed less deceit in human hearts;
Ifless was feared the speech of men,
But conscience taught us Law and love,
Men in this neither world were, then,
More worthy of the realms above
If, when tempted brother fall,
More gave the hand of Friendship, still,
With willing mind forgetting all,
And fewer push him down the hill;
If thus through greater charity,
The erring were, by us, forgiven,
Then more reclaimed from sin would be,
And earth were more like unto heaven.

u Mr.. A. 7. Stewart is conced.
ed to be one of our successful
merchants. From the smallest
beginnings, he has amassed a
princely fortune. No one would
ask whether Mr.. Stewards meth
Odof business was a wise one. The
secret of his success lies on the
surface. In his little store on
Broadway, opposite his mar BILE
palace, Mr.. Stewart began his
trade. He adopted two or three
simple rules by which he proposed
to be guided. He gave personal
attention to his business. He
asked a fair price for his goods,
and persons could take them or
leave them. If he sold a poor
article to customer, he sold it as
poor article. If he demanded
first class price for his goods,
they were found to be first class
when the purchaser took them
home. He seldom lost custom
er, because the article never diff
fered from the representation
Since Mr.. Stewart opened his lit
tie shop, thousands wit capital
have started business with the
motto, "AIl is fair in trade" Few
ofthose survive. Their very names
as merchants have persisted from
