Saturday, Aug. n, 1870. J
Ae the European war approaches Its cuiminat-
ing point the excitement in financial circles in
creases, and fortunes will be made and lost
through the next great battle, which may be
over before these remarks are In type. Such
an oppo tunity may not occur again for years,
and spectators are investing largely in gold
or securities according to their French or
German proclivities. 1t 10 literally a game
of rouoe ct noir, with the chances largely In
favor of Germany in the struggle, and the bulk
ment bonds, which IL is believed will advance
rapidly on the announcement of o Prussian VIC
tory. With regard to gold, however, many be-
lieve that 1t is cheap, aside from the contingen-
cies of the war, and large Investments are being
made.
The loan market is also active to-day and
rates are very firm the chances being in favor
of stringent market.
Gold is exceedingly steady in the absence of
foreign news, but there is considerable specula-
ton going on. The sales up to noon fluctuated
between 1862 and 1l6X.
Government bonds are In fair demand, but
portion of the list shows weakness.
The stock market continues quiet but steady
Sales of State skies, first series, at 10415; city
skies, old bonds, were taken at 1917; and the
new do at 101%.
Reading Railroad was neglected but steady,
with single sale at 47S1; Pennsylvania sold at
5SI; Camden and Amboy at 11494; and Oil
Creek and Allegheny at 4412 8. o. and IS b. o.
In the balance of the list there was neither
movement nor change. few shares of Second
and Third Streets Railroad sold at 49,.

Banks has handed Us book entitled
Travels through the Western Coun-

I. q Maj. Mai; ot III Tire Wabash Country, now
setting. by David Thoaas." The
book Is now 81 years old, having
been printed at Auburn, New York,
in 1913. Our attention has been
called TO a remark on page 90, quot
ed from the National lntelligencer,h
a. follows:
'.In 1871, the first steam boat to
navigate the Western " alters, Was
launched AT Pittsburgh, Penisyiva-
MA. There are now In full iide oi
success, on the Mississippi and it-
tributary streams, Uia1y-one steam
boats; and thirty more are building,
and nearly completed, for the same
navigation. Allowing each boat
three voyages Ia year TO New
Orleans, at the present rates Of freight
and passage, the income of sixty-one
boats Is estimated at the enormous
sum Of 81 ,556 500 per annum! What
a world of industry, enterprise, ac-
tiyify and prOductiveness."
Written in pencil on the margin OF
the book, just below the above para
graph, we find the following:

NOTES BY THE WAY.

Full reports of the Conventions
heldat Pella and OskaIoosa last week
will be found elsewhereil this paper.
At the former, there was no especial
contest, Judge Lind.ey's nomination
having been a tOregJne conclusion.
At the District Convention, among
the Ave candidates for Attorney,
there was lively competition. All
of them are young men, all ran well
and none Of them can be in the least
injured by their defeat. We are
sorry that our friend McJunkin was
not the favored one of fortune this
time, and most heartily hope that
when next he comes before the peo-
pie he may have Us fair breezes and
clearer sailing.
On the way over to Pella on Tues
day, DIR. Wetherell was called to
amputate limb from Mrs. Her,
living north of Pella. Mrs. 1. is a
sister Of Hon. d. Il. Durham. She

years with a carries of the bones at
the knee Of her left leg, and on Mon
day night the remaining portion of
the bone had broken. DIR. Wetherell

putated the limb above the knee, on
Tuesday afternoon; and at our latest
word the unfortunate lady, though
in a precarious condition, had fair
hope of recovery, which we sincerely
hope may be full and speedy.
Going down in the caboose of the
freight train on Tuesday evening,
our Delegation put up at the Ban
croft House, in OskaloOsa. This
House, formerly the well-known
Needham House, has lately been
leased and refurnished by Capt. II.
b. Rutledge. We commend the
Bancroft to all travellers who pass
through OskaloOsa.
On Tuesday evening several Of us

here last Thursday, and approved
the Contract for the construction Of

their utmost efforts to secure vic
