WALL STREET. |
SUNDAY. March II, 1870
THE GENERAL TRADE OF THE CITY
presents few new features Of interest. The dry
goods negln to feel the influence Of the season,
and there is fair activity among jobbers. On
'Caange the markets are quiet Cotton Is steady.
THE MONEY MARKET
for the week has worked with continued case and
borrowers on call were readily supplied at four ana
nve per cent on governments and stock collateral.
foreign exchange has ruled firm throughout the
week and closed steady on the basis OF 1O93s
io9X for bankers sixty days sterling and ll0H O
ll05s for short sight.
THE BANK STATEMENT.
The weekly statement OF the associated banks Is
quite unfavorable and reflects the heavy drain OF
money into the Custom House during the past week,
while decrease In legal tender is regarded as the
beginning OF a movement OF currency to the inte-
rlor in connection with the April settlements. The
deposits having at the same time increased to
S4Se5 900 rather curousy, the effect has been very
large decrease of the surplus Of the banks.
The actual loss In reserve is over $1,5o0O0O. The
banks last week held OIL the limit Of re-
serve required by law; but now hold less than
tl550o000. The statement contrasts with its prede
cessor rs folows-

THE MOVEMENT IN THE GOVERNMENT MARKET
for the week has been unfavorable to buyers re-
sulting as follows the closing price last evening
being compared with the closing prices on Monday
night last:United States skies, 1884, registered and
coupon, " or each; 1ve-twent1es 1862, registered

The apathy exhibited respecting the new loan has
been most remarkable feature Of the government
market.

the market steady:-United States currency

TeIegraphic Money orders.

By late California papers. we notice that the
Western Telegraph Company inaugurated a new
system of Geographic money orders, on the LIST of
last month. The arrangements extend to every
telegraph Office on the Pacific coast, reaching to
small towns where there are no banks or means
of exchange. These telegraphic money orders
are limited to small sums only, and thus do not
Interfere with the business of banks or large
commercial houses. The orders are chiefly for
the convenience of the classes,
and there arc a great many cases in which the
system will be of great benefit, like the post-ofice
money orders of the Government. For instance,
a person travelling a. a distance of a thousand
miles from San Francisco, finding himself in need
of funds, goes to the first telegraph Office he
comes to, and asks his San Francisco correspond
ent to place a certain amount to his credit,
whereupon he draws the coin at once, less the
cost of the message and a small premium.

meteorological.

At the regular semi-monthly meeting of the
California Academy of Sciences, in the first part
of last month, DIR. Blake made some very inter-
csting statements on meteorology. He said that
observations showed a connection between the
meteOrOlogy of California and that of these
islands. A gale occurred at the islands ON the
Goth of October. The barometer in San Fran
cisco commenced falling on the 2lst, and reached
the minimum on the 24th. in the morning. On
the 9th a gale at the islands began, which lasted
three days. The barometer in San Francisco fell
OBS from the 29th to the 30th, the minimum be-
ing reached November Cd. A gale blew at the
islands from October Both to the 9th of Novem-
Der. The barometer in San Francisco began to
fall on the 4th, and reached its minimum On
the 9th.

ATTEMPTED SUIcDE.-Last Thursday, a native
whose name We did not learn, made an unsuccessful
attempt to hang himself from a beam in his house.
He was discovered in the act of putting his head into
the moose. Whether the timely discovery was precon-
certed or not, our informant did not know. A wO-
man was in the case, as may naturally be supposed.

*"KA NuPEPA KUoKoA.''-This really lire native
newspaper, The Independent, enters upon its tenth
volume to-day. 1t owed its originxo an association
of natives in 1861, who used to l5eet for mutual
Improvement and for the discussion of topics of
general interest in the islands, as well as matters of
foreign news. The paper at once became popular,
but its managers were not business men, and it has
passed from one hand to another of different pub
fishers, until it has now, for the second time, reverted
to MIR. FL. NJ. Whitney. The specimen number of
volume 10. has a new engraved head, and on the

THE WEEK OF PRAYER-To-day concludes the
worlds week of prayer. There is something almost
sublime in this idea of millions of Christian worship
ers. dwellers in all parts of the babitable globe, of
all races, languages, colors and conditions, as it were

the Creator. This electric chain Of prayer encircles
