The week opens with continuance of the ex-
treme ease in money. The plethora of national
currency Is steadily augmenting by receipts from
the interior, and with only q very moderate de-
mand for business purposes the prospect of the
loan market is anything but satisfactory. There
10 considerable doing in call loans, but with
good collaterals difficulty IL felt in obtaining
any amount. Wequote on call at 405 per cent.
and prime discounts at 5160D615 per cent.
Gold is considerably active this morning, with
quite a break in the price. The opening sales
were made at 114a6, but large amounts changed
hands as low as 113X. The premium about
noon stood at 1141.
Government bonds are very dull, and prices
are off in sympathy with specie.
Stocks were dull, but generally strong, with
the exception of Reading. City loans were
neglected, but there were several sales of 6s,
new, at 1929.
Reading Railroad was weak, selling down to
51X@52; North Pennsylvania changed hands at
80, and Lehigh Valley at 81. Oil Creek and
Allegheny was the only active stock at the
Board, and it advanced, under the pressure of a
lively demand, up to 45Ss, an advance of 1x
since our last report.
Miscellaneous shares were hardly noticed, but
the extreme ease in money keeps up the tone of
the market.

The st. Louis Democrat of Friday last says
On Wednesday the Grand Jury returned
various indictments into court, among them four
against Adolph X. Kroeger and one against M.
e. Susisky, late City Treasurer. Kroeger
promptly gave bail in the sun of $40, 900, and
was not taken into custody.
Susisky went into the Treasurers Office and
spent some time in looking over the walls, on
which, in former days, were hung elegant pic
lures of beautiful women. He said he came for
the purpose of ''giving himself up" but as no
one authorized to arrest him came near, he re-
turned home.
Yesterday he went into the Office of the Clerk
of the Criminal Court and surrendered himself
to the Marshal, and was conducted to Jail. The
amount of his bond was not stated, and it is
presumed that he does not intend to give bail at
present. Re looked serene, and no doubt feels
confident Of being acquitted.

The sHELTERING ARMS.

The following Is an extract from the Protestant
Cnurc1,na's Season Of Lent, 1870, in reference to
the late Bazaar Of the Shetering ARMS
Our great purpose has been TO strengthen the
hands OF the rectOrs OF st. Bartholomew, Grace
church, the Ascension, Calvary, The AtOnement,
ST. Georges, the Incarnation, the Anthon Memorial
st. Thomas church, the Reformation and the Holy
Trinity, in their efforts to free noble institution
from glarng abuse, by making the dlsconnection
Of this Slslerhood the absolute condition Of this
cooperation.
This "co-operation" has, as is known, compelled
the resignation OF the Sisters from then charge at
the Sheltering Arms driven them forth from their
home and separated them from their work after
years Of the most faith full and devoted service
Under the pressure OF this confusion ana distress
their friends, in answer to numberless inquiries
and propositions from all quarters, desire
that measures be taken as soon as prac-
t!cable to establish and secure to them
an institution OF their own, where they
may be shielded from unfrendly approach and mis-
representation and their entire seli.devotlon and
selfsacrce ior the love Of Christ and His poor not
counted against them as unpardonable sins For the
moment they are sting from the fatigue and hard
the Lenten season; but It is hoped that with the
blessings OF the Easter tide, their sorrows have
passed away and will be forgotten.
This communication has been kept back for two
weeks ON account OF the Bazaar, that no word from
any friend OF the Sisters might interfere with its
success. Contributions for the new 'Instituton for
Sick and Orphan Children" Will be received CRATE
fully now In this city or from other cities from
the country by The late treasurer OF the Shelterng
Arms, Miss Ellen Kenble, 50 West Twenty-fgth
