Money.

There is but little Of interest trans
piring in monetary circles to-day. The
demand for money is perhaps triae
more active but does not increase as
rapidly as was anticipated, and many of
our merchants to-day instead OF being
borrowers have balances to their credit
in bank. First class paper is discounted
readily at 10 to u per cent at the banks,
and in the open market the paper gene
rally found seeking discount is taken at
from II to % per cent per month, with
but little capital seeking investment in
that quarter.
The situation as regards exchange
has not improved to any great extent
since our report of yesterday, and but a
limited amount of cotton bills are offer
ing. The demand is shade less active
to-day but is large enough to compel the
shipment of currency to the East. In
checking on New York, Cincinnati and
other points North and East, bankers
charge lc or 81 so premium per $1,000,
and take cotton bills at par. In Cincin-
natl Eastern exchange is reported by all
the leading bankers as being in good
supply. The buying rate from outsiders
is lilo discount, and from depositors so
to 75c per thousand off. All the dealers
are quick sellers at par. .eihA
Nothing of consequence is being done
in coin; dribbling lots of gold and silver
are offering, for which the brokers are
paying lll3 for the former, and lO7 to
lO74 for the latter.
Local stocks and securities are quiet,
with increased offerings of Arkansas
Levee bonds, and no disposition to in
vest at the recent prices. Some 10000
in these bonds were upon the street to-
day, for a purchaser, and perhaps
could not find a purchaser at over
36 or 36l. A rumor is current
that large amount of these bonds
reached the city yesterday from Little
Rock, and are to be placed upon the
market here and sold, if possible, in
New York. City and county indebted
ness is firm and prices unchanged In
view of the coming election of directors
of the Memphis and Charleston rail
road there is a better feeling in the
stock of that company, and, though
no sales are reported, there is fair in
quiry. Other securities are dull.

HIGHLAND.

EDS. CHRONICLE In what is sometimes
said to be the language of Webster
"Highland amt dead yet" Perhaps il
would be more elegant and much nearer
what the great man said, to say High
land still lives" and not only lives, but
prospers.
In regard to the church Improvement, /
would Just say that when it is finished an
impression will be made. 1.-The half was
not told" Many other improvements have
lately been added to this village. Among
the number are the following: Mr.. P.
Smith has nearly finished an addition to
his store. The building has been regular
ly dedicated by the young folks tipping
the light fantastic toe"
Mr.. George Sampe is erecting large,
two-story frame dwelling near the new
church. Mr.. j. p Cholvin has about
completed his two story building, and ex-
poets to remove his tin-shop therein short
ly. P. Mcclure is building house near
the village and, from the fact that he is a
bachelor, it looks little suspicious His
future movements will be closely watched.
Railroad is talked of on almost every
corner, and the people appear anxious to
see the first train come in. Tomorrow
we hold meeting. 1t would not be sur
prising to see Highland with railroad
and Dodgeville ''left out in the cold.
Last week the quiet of our village was
distur bed by the cry of Fire" Our fire
company Gin which each man commands
himself) were on line promptly. The
dwelling of Mrs. Cary took fire, but was
discovered before it had made much head
way, and soon put out. Damage perhaps
twenty dollars. No insurance.
Barney Kruser, a very industrious Ger
man farmer near the village, met with an
accident which resulted in his death. lie
was stacking grain, and in jumping from
the load to the stack, some of the bundles
gave way, and he fell backward, to the
ground-a distance of about four feet
dislocating, or "breaking," the back
at the second dorsal vertebra.
DIR. j. W. David was Immediately
called, and, remaining with him all night,
did all that was possible for the afflicted
man.
Many times poor Barney said 81 am
dead, doctor, am Dead" and it was true
so far as his body was concerned. Mind
had no control over muscle, because its
means of communication was destroyed.
On Thursday morning, about thirteen
hours after the accident, death came.
I've no doubt welcome visitor to Bar
ney.
Mr.. Kruser was about forty three years
old, and leaves widow upon whom this
sudden calamity falls heavily.
On Saturday his body Was followed to
the place Of burial by large concourse of
relatives and friends.
