IT is a very good sign oflib-
crafty in a business man to
advertise extensively. There
is reason in it. If you wish
generous, liberal treatment and
good bargains, go to the stores
whore they advertise. A large
business house, with amean
pinched up little advertisement
or none at all, will instruct all
its statesmen TO cut on the
wrong side of the finger in
measuring fippenny bit muslin.
Stands TO reason, don't it?

Evening.-Money was easy throughout
the afternoon at 607 on stock cOllaterals,
but at the close Of bank hours there was .
sudden drop ON call loans to per cent.
Sterling exchange was duh and heavy to
the close. The only feature Of Wall street
was the government gold sale, which was
attended with some humorous scenes and
incidents. About half.past one o'clock
P. NJ. it was reported that the government
had accepted bids amounting to five mil
lions of dollars, which caused gold to drop
to lI412.
This report was afterward denied, and
prices returned to ia O l14as. At this juno
ture the sub-treasury was crowded with
brokers awaiting, with great anxiety, the
official announcement of the awards. The
entrances to the Gold Room and Stock Ex-
change were crowded with brokers awaiting
signals from their friends in the treasury.
Suddenly it was announced by cashier
White. in the treasury, that only two mil
lions were accepted.
Immediately signals were sent from the
treasury steps to the Stock Exchange and
Gold Room. and these signals consisted of
throwing up hands and hats, and waving
handkerchief. In an instant the crowd on
Broad street disappeared into the Gold
Room, followed by hundreds of brokers,
who fairly flew down the treasury steps
and rushed with feetness of deer into the
haunts Of speculation.
In the Gold Room the scene was almost
indescribable, and gold was suddenly run
up to lis on the frantic efforts of q large
crowd to buy. Brokers fairly climbed on
each other. Finally this excitement died
out, and the market became dull, and gold
closed up quiet, but steady, at ll4a& l14%.

way. The Indians now understand that the

given as testimonial to Mr.. A. B. Chase,

hope was expressed that there will soon be
repetition of the same. 1t was compli-

taste of Mr.. Chase as a teacher, and to the
accomplishments of his class.
