MONEY AND GRAN.-Money con-
tinues In very good supply at rates
which have been sometime current,
l@lL per cent. at bank and Soil per
cent. at the loan societies. There Is
an abundance, Of money for general
purposes, but the demand Is not such
as to indicate n very active general
business. The grain trade, usually so
active at this season, Is In allegiance,
and agriculture generally at this mo.
ment employs but little money.
There Is, therefore, a relative ease In
| the market, which Is, however, scarcely
a matter of congratulation. The de-
mand for money for remittance has
| not been large and rates are about the
same rs last week. Coin drafts on
New York, Is per cent. prem; cur
rency drafts, liz per cent. prem. on
gold; kilograms, q; bank rate on
London Is 4SAd. at 90 days; CONNER
cial bills, 4sd.; gold bullion at $50;
silver, impaired, at par on; refined
| silver, 2A@3aper cent. prem; silver
coin, Ix9lA discount !; Mexican dol
lars nominal at SOC. The grain mar
ket has shown no increase Of activity
during the week. The Liverpool
price has remained at lis. 3d., which
Is Cd. above the price at the cores
ponding period last year. There has
been no increase of business, however,
and prices in this market have showed
a slight decline. The. vessels loading
wheat procure cargoes very slowly,
the receipts Of grain from The Interior
indicate corresponding backwardness.

DURING the month Of July the pub
lie debt of the United States has de-
creased IS, lGS. 3ls, being n little over
the average rate of decrease main-
tanned during the three months pre-
cedinx. We enter upon the month OF
August, therefore, with a national debt
amounting to g, 1885, 2s, s57, or about
$50 per head on thirty-eight and a half
millions Of population. During the
twenty-nine months last past the total
diminution Of the public debt has
amounted to S242, l34,402, or nearly
$780, 900 per month. This Is encour-
aging for tho public credit, but the
question comes strongly up whether it
Is not time to abate Il little In the bur-
den Of taxation, and allow the trade
and business Of the country, which Is
sorely oppressed, to revive a little.
Quite rs much may be effected In that
way, and In making wealth, rs in
draining the last dollar from the pocket
IN paying debts.

The recent break on the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal, along the "fve-mile
level Is attributed to the operations
OF muskrats. This destructive pest
has within the last few years largely
increased in numbers along the lines
of the Chesapeake and other canals,
and It Il feared that breaks may occur
ct other points. In Holland, where a
break In the banks will cause the most
serious foundations, the greatest watch
fitness Is exercised to destroy all bur-
rowing animals, and the Inhabitants
are constantly on the lookout for the
slightest defect In the works. On the
Mississippi river, quite an Insignificant
enemy, the crawfish, Is said to be CIV
ing continual trouble by burrowing In
the leYees, and If their holes were not
at once stopped up, the leyees would
soon break and an extensive crevasse
be formed.

The Panama Railroad seems to be
In 4 bad way. The directors were
unable to pay up their subsidy to the
Government Of Panama when 1t last
fell, due, owing, as they say, to the
fact that the traffic Is insufficient to
warrant them in giving $25O,OOO an
nually to the country. Another con-
sequence Of the diversion Of trade to
the Pacific railroads Is the decline of
the city of Panama.

rational view In reference to the tax
OH bankers: The Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue, upon careful con-
~slderation. Is of the opinion that the

a tax ON borrowed capital of bankers,

this tax, and to assess the same here
after upon the basis of the capital
owned BY bankers and employed by
them In a banking business subject to
the exemption accorded in the statute.

Mt Shoeburyness, was loaded with peb-
BILE powder and a ball weighing $50

representing the side Of a ship. The
~projectile, it is stated, was sent clean
through thirteen inches Of iron, twelve
inches Of teak, and an inner skin OF
