The estimate Of tho loss Of life by the

APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT

APPROPRIATIONS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF
THE CAPITAL-What the City Needs.-It il
understood that on the reassembling Of Con-
gress next week q strong effort will be made
to obtain . decent appropriation for the i'm
prOvement of this city. Some friends Of the
District, in and out OF Congress, have taken
the business in hand, apparently with sincere
desire to engineer it through the Senate and
House, and some results may be looked for
from their efforts. The capital has long suffer
ed from neglect. For several reasons, which
need not be enumerated, unlike the capitals of
other great countries, no efforts Of any account
have been made to make 1t a thriving and pros
porous city. The government has never
gone beyond the necessary work Of
erecting public buildings for the trans
action Of the business OF the nation.
Now 1t Is proposed to ask Congress to fur
nish the funds for improving the city in every
respect, but principally by the establishment OF
parks, paving the streets, completion Of the
water works, Obliteration or covering of the nm
slightly canal and the erection Of statues in
every suitable location in the city. Why, il is
asked should not government make Washington
to America what Paris Is to France? Why
should 1t not expend millions in making the capi-
tai Of the nation the finest city in America, IL
not In the world? The gentlemen who are in
terested in this movement have been talking
over the matter with President Grant, and state
that he is not very favorably disposed, but he
intends to recommend to Congress improve
ments of this kind and the appropriation OF a
suff1cient amount to commence the work

FINAHCIAL AND CoMuERr1AL

The year opens in New York with somewhat
depressed feeling in the markets generally. Thi,
tone, however, is to be regarded mainly as th,
consequence of a temporary activity in money
growing out Of arrangements for the payment
Of January interest and dividends, and which
may be expected to gradually disappear within
the week. The applications for money are quite
active, and street lenders obtain on stock colat-
erals, per cent. in currency to per cent. in
gold. In discounts there is q steadier feeling
and rates rather favor sellers. We quote prime
double signatures sa12per cent. and prime single
1Qa1S per cent.
