The Militia Providing Around, Seek

Ga Monday night last three printers
working in the Democrat Office, while on
their way to attend a wedding in North
Nashville were stopped three several times
by squads Of militia. The first time was
on the bridge across Lick Branch, on
Cherry street, and then again on Summer

These gentlemen who were halted were led
to believe from the remarks made that
these various squads Of militia were hunt

SECOND BOARD.

| Inc new 1Ork Il d oil The afternoon oil
the 18th inst. says:
The money market works easily at six
and seven per cent. to borrowers on call
| offering acceptable collateral. There have
been some shipments of currency to the
South during the week the bank which
| has been the largest shipper has averaged
| about 100000 per day. These remit
tanees have been made up partly of legal
tenders and partly of national bank cur
rency, as will undoubtedly be reflected in
the bank statement this afternoon. Among
borrowers there is disposition to make
time loans extending well into April,
thereby avoiding the slringency which
attends the preparation Of the banks for
the quarterly statement In commercial
paper an active trade is reported at rates
last quoted.
"1he leading object of interest in Wall
street to-day lie the government bond mar
kei, which is active and buoyant. The adj
vance in the foreign markets is readily re-
sponded to here, and prices on TIE entire
list have risen since yesterday from ! to I
per cent. The upward movement is assist
ed by the purchases Of many who seldom
deal in bonds, but who believe them now
TO be purchase for a speculative turn.
The stock of bonds available for Wall
street transactions has been largely dimin.
ished during the week by heavy shipments.
Since Congress indicated the intention Of
terminating all gold-bearing loans of the
government there has also been an i'm
proved demand for home investment"
The New York city bank statement is
not favorable to an easy money market.
The reduction TO the leading reserve,
including specie, amounts to nearly as
much as the total decrease in deposits. and |
thus weakens thsDposition of the banks
materially, but they have considerable |
surplus over the legal requirements. The
changes during the week are shown by the
folIowino fiUDres.
