MONEY.

There is very little of importance
transpiring in financial circles to-day.
The demand for accommodations con-
tinues active, all branches Of trade being
represented in the list of applicants.
Indeed, so pressing has the demand been
for the past few days that our banks have
been drained to a certain extent, and are
now compelled TO limit their favors to
the immediate demands Of depositors
Transactions in the staple have been
quite heavy during the past few days,
and from that cause il is natural to sup
pose that money ought to be plenty, but
when we take into consideration the fact
that nearly, if not quite, all the money
so placed in circulation is used to pay
/, foreign debts, the little remaining being
sent to the interior, the extreme close
ness of the market is easily accounted
for. As a general rule, merchants are
preparing to and will meet with prompt
ness their paper due between now and
the 4th proximo. Some, however, will
be hard pushed, and we fear will be COM
PEELED to seek the street for funds to
carry them through the coming month.
We are not by any means disposed to
give gloomy accounts Of the prospective
future, but these are the facts, and the
prospects are that there will be a strin-
gent money market until the close Of the
year. Exchange is offering in liberal
quantities, and is being taken by the
banks at the established rates. to &c
discount. Local securities and scrips
are quiet, the only noticeable demand
being for county warrants and Tennessee
money, which is purchased by dealers at
Csc, and sold at roc Gold is bought at
1924 to lO9l. The opening New York
rate was TIA, and closing rate at noon
llOI. Government securities opened
dull, with a slight decline through the
list, owing to unfavOrable foreign news.
Sterling exchange was very steady at
lOs.
COTTON
There is but little doing in the staple
to-day, the greater part Of the orders
having been 6lled yesterday. The mar
ket to-day is a shade easier owing to the
large stock on hand and the limited de
mand as well as the downward tendency
Of Eastern markets. Factors, in some
instances, we're disposed to make con-
cessions this morning in order to effect
sales, while others would sell only small
lots at any reduction. Buyers were not
generally disposed to make offers except
ing on choice grades, in consequence Of
which very few sales were made. The

THE THEATRICAL SEAsoE.-We are sure
the lovers of good acting will welcome with
pleasure the return to the Richmond Theatre
of the leading members of "The Old Stock
Company" We have had so little really
good acting lately that it will be most re-
freshing to have something worth looking
at and hearing, especially in the elegant
and noD really delightful Theatre, which
Mr.. Ogden has so wonderfully improved.
The opening bill is Tom Taylor's modern
comedy of "Stll Waters Run Deep; or,
the Villain of Society,"" 1t is essentially q
drama Of the passions, and it depends upon
good acting for its effects rather than upon
realistic scenery although in the latter re-
spect 1t is well known that Mr.. Ogden is
rcsolute and eXacting in his demands. and
will insist upon the production Of every
piece in the very best style. He plays the
Fillain" himself. and sustained by such
accomplished artists as Miss Ida Vernon,
Miss Ella Wrcnn, Miss Sallie Partington,
Mrs. Germon, Edwin r. Dalton, Mr.. Frank

THE PEACEFUL ARTS IN LIBBY PRISON.
The old building of Worldwide celebrity is
the Libby prison has now under its roof
two manufacturing establishments of consi-
derable Importance. The first is the Abe
marie Fertiizing Mills, Kirkpatrick d Co.,
DrOprietors and William ii. Parrish, super
intcudcnt. These mills embrace some of
the best machines. for grinding bones and
plaster that can he found in Virginia, and
they are doing good work for the improve
ment of the soil OF our State by turning out
large quantities of bone-dust and plaster OF
the finest quality for the use of the farmers.
In another part of the Libby is the large
sumac mill of G.. c. Harsin & Co. This
mill, established three years ago, now per-
haps does the largest business of any in the
State, and the Libby" brand of sumac is
hardly second to any to be found in the
English or American market. Harsin Il Co.
pay out about 81, 900 Il day i'll small sums
for the leaves of the sumat, brought in
mostly by negl oes living in the neishbor-
hood of Richmond. Thus large sum OF
money is distributed among the poorer class
of negroes, who are otherwise short enough
Of cash.
In the same building we yesterday saw
exhibited Anthony's automatic shingle ma
chine, which, it is hoped, will soon be in.
troduced into this State, which affords SO
fine field for the business ofshingle-making
The principal advantage of this machine is
that it cuts with the grain of the wood, and
in that manner makes the shingle perfectly
smooth, doing away with the groove OF the
ordinary shingle, which is SO likely to cause
il to rot. 1t is also claimed that much
larger number of shingles per day. can Le
made by this contrivance than by the ordl-
nary machine.
