Tho heavy contraction Of loans by the banks last
week seemed to inspire lenders with the impression
that better rates for money were obtainable and
some borrowers paid rs high as SIX per cent on
pledge Of miscellaneous colaterals. Towards the
close Of banking hours money was in abundant sup
ply at five per cent stocks and at four ON govern
ments. Some of the leading government dealers had
balances left with them at three per cent. Com
mercla is more active ana good deal OF business is
DONG at seven to eight per cent for prime double

FOREIGN EXCHANGE STEADY.
There Is more uniformity In the rates for sterling
exchange to-day, and quotations were steady at the
closing figures or last week.
STOCKS DULL AND DECLINED.
The Stock Exchange commenced business at one
O'Clock. Prices were steady at the opening but
betrayed weakness and began to decline, their de-
scent being accelerated by the proposal Of the Prus
sian government to issue the new loan referred TO
above. The largest decline was in the Vanderbilt
stocks and Lake Shore. Rock Island was excep.
tionalIy strong and renamed steady. In most in.

The Workingmen's International Exhi-
bitiou of 1870

RapId advances are being made with the
arrangements for the proposed working
mems international Exhibition to be held
in London in 1870, which was postponed
from 1S69-the prospectus of which has been
published in the ADVOCATE. The distin-
guished features Of this project are, that each
article exposed is to bear the signature Of the
workman by whom it was made; that in
trade where division Of labor is the rule
specimens Of each particular branch are to-
be invited to cooperate with each other in
tie production Of combined articles. Agri-
cultural produce and raw materials used in
manufactures are also to be exhibited fron
all parts of the world. Mr.. Gladstone is
president, supported BY sundry noblemen
and gentlemen os vice-prssidents. The Ag-
ricultural Hall, Islington, building able to
contain 10000 people, is to be the scene of
the exhibition. Other European nations
have already made considerable preparations
for participating in the scheme. Several
Italian and German governments have ar
ranged to transmit their national contribu-
tons at the expense Of the state. The
French government is also zealOusly coop
Grating to secure a due representation Of
their manufactures. At New Orleans a
very active and energetic committee is re-
ported to have been formed, and the sugar
manufacturing process, in which high de-
gree of excellence has been attained, is to be
exhibited from that quarter. The South Car.
DINA State Agricultural and Mechanical
Society heads the movement in the south,
and we hear also Of contributions from the
| Western States and Canada.

inteudent Of the Anglo-Swiss Con-
densed Milk Company, who, we are
glad to learn, is fast amsssing fortune.
The chief depot of the company is in
the Strand, London, where a ready
market is found for all the milk they
can forward. Here, BY the way, we
pass the village where the international
shooting match Of last year was held,
and here, too, are many of the butts
still standing. Next comes the town
of Tug, situated on the banks of the
Lake Tug, which is said to reach the
enormous depth Of 1920 feet. At
Cham we are Page-less, and at D. m.
We are rafting over the quaint old
streets of Lucerne.

city of only IL, 900 inhabitants, is one of

of attraction in Switzerland, being sit

curiosities. Here are those beautiful
little models of the beautiful little cot
tages to be seen on every hand, and
there are views of every point of in
terest in this highly interesting country.
Here are alpenstocks by the thousands,
and there are the wonderfully carved
figures, which show at once the patient,
plodding ingenuity Of this truly won
derful people. Bnt the scene itself is
one never to be forgotten. Bright and
unruffied as a mirror, the lake is
stretched before us. Direct y opposite,
the far-famed Pilatus, almost isolated
from the surrounding heights, rears its
massive, craggy form, while the Rigi,
more than a thousand feet higher than
Ben Neris, looms, as if in sullen def
ance, directly on our left; in the rear
is the terrace and the brilliantly lighted
hotels, and as if to complete the enter
tainment, some soft, silvery voice is
adding to our enjoyment, accompanied
by the equally sweet strains from a
clarionette. Applegarth, as usual, is
delighted, and he would certainly be a
stole were he not.
As We start for Fleunen, at the foot
Of the lake, at 5 o'clock in the morn
ing, our musings are brought to an
end, and in few minutes more we are
dreaming of home and the dear ones
left behind.
