FINANCIAL AFFAIRS. The Baltimore Sun
says The general feeling in financial circles
continues to improve, but money stringeney Is
still severe Here and there a weak spot IS
developed in some banking or commercial sus-
pension, and such may be expected for some
time. 1t is favorable indication for Baltl-
more that so far no commercial house and no
chartered bank has gone down here. Two suS-
pensions, one an old dry goods house paton
&; CO.. and the other banking and stock firm
(Northrup & Chick topk plack at New York
yesterday-the latter, however, unimportant.
Stocks were variable and not maintained. Gold
declined, which is favorable sign as Is also
the sharp advance in foreign exchange to lo14
showing the revived demand for it under re-
newed shipment of produce. The drain ofcur-
rency from New York city to the country is
about at an end, and some is returned by banks

A widow in Georgetown has entered suit against

These bank have been doing business as usual
through the panic, paying all the checks pre-

withdrew from the Association on the ground
that there was no necessity for the combination.
At meeting of the Clearing House Associa-
ton last-night the Association was dissolved by
common consent The dissolution was caused
by lack of cooperation. The Merchants Bank

The Washington Republican says THE
extensive purchase Of bonds made last week
iuterferrcd considerably with the reduction Of
the public debt for September. The twelve
million bonds purchased were paid for in cur
rency at premium of ten and three quarters
per cent: making the total premium on the
purchase one million aud ninety thousand dol
lars. This amount, had there been no unusual
purchase OF bonds, would have been added to
the one million niue hundred thousand de-
crease of the debt for September, making the
decrease nearly twelve millions. The financial
troubles almost caused falling off in the in
ternal revenue receipts during the month";
which also tended to prevent larger reduction
of the public debt. :"

TRANSPORTATION. 1t is said that after all
nothing will be done toward the solution of the
transportation problem next winter. There is.
So much rivalry between the different sections.
So much luminosity between those interested in
the success Of the different projects, that there
will undoubtedly be an unrelcntng opposition
in Congress to whatever one route may be
chosen. Here, for instance is a leading West
crn paper, interested in the Improvement Of the
Mississippi river, already turously deuouucing
the Senate committee for the reason that ii

\ Scene IN PARIS. Not long ago one of
the most celebrated women of the demi monde
OF Paris committed SUI eide by throwing herself
out OF the window of her lodgings. She was a
Spanlard, Madame Pepita SANCHEZ Her ad-
mlrers dubbed together and gave her sump-
tuous funeral. The body lay in state. The
spectacle attracted crowds Each frall sister
inscribed her name Or made her mark in
book kept for the purpose, and left her por
trait in basket near by The coffin was
superby mounted in silver, and, after services
in the Church Of the Madeleine, it was placed
temporarily in vault of that church to
await the arrival Of the husband, who had
been separated from Madame Sanchez for
years. The husband came sold the fur
niture, the articles of luxury, the little per
sonal effects Of his wife. The bidding was spr
tied, and ten thousand dollars was realized,
which the husband pockcted He declined to
pay for the occupation Of the vault at the
Madeleine or for the removal Of the body.
Any funeral expenses he utterly rcpudiated.
He said he was only too happy to be definitely
rid Of his wife, aud refused to be plagued any
more about her, The committee first formed
TO bury the woman and erect tomb over her
remains was appealed to, but in vain. The
members shook their heads and suggested the
oiSSOiioOiltC AIuSUduu. INC
coffin was placed in the paupers' hearse, and,
with its silver trappingS scarcely furnished, de-
posted in the Fosse Commune in the paupcrS
field The moral is easily drawn.
y DREADFUL calamity appears TO have over
taken ApaIachcola. in Florida, in the tornado
which on the 18th inst. swept over the town.
\ gentleman writing from that place to his
brother in Atlanta says that the destruction
was almost complete. Warehouses, stores aud
dwellings were blown down or unroofcd, merch-
ants lost nearly all their stocks III store, and u
universal wrecking Of the shipping, fishing
boats, &c., in port ensucd. In the ueishbor-
hood OF the town the orange groves were al
most totally ruined The writer predicts that
Apaachicoa will never recover from this blow,
and in describing the appearance of the ruin
left by the hurricane he says that the town Is
hardly recognizable. No reports OF the loss Of
human life are sent, but it seeus scarceIy to be
expected that in 50 general Il crash individuals
should have been spared.

BANK SUspENsloNs.- Men are like sheep
when they once become panic stricken. This
is illustrated by the runs of depositors upon the
banks of which we have read so much lately.
Any mau in his senses must know that any
bank can be broken by its customers withdraw
ing their deposits all at once. The currency
deposited one day is loaned out the next. Good
paper, generally with endorscrs worth twenty
times the amount, takes the place of the de.
post. In the general course Of buSlncss, it ma
lures, is paid, and the money loaned again, aod
the business proceeds without interruption; but
when run begins no time is given the banks
to gather in their currency; and after straln-
long or short, as the case may bc--they must
suspend.
Suspension is serious matter, not only to
the bank, but to the deposlters and the com
munity at large ln the case of National Banks
their assets are always turned over TO Receivers
which always, and almost inevitably, results in
serious loss to all parties concerned Hiaches
