but not for want of water.
Our produce market shows signs OF
Improvement; hog and hominy going IN
more freelw as is also boiled and fried
cabbage There is more doing in the
back bone of hogs than in the spinal
celumn of n1ea. We have increased
meoniigh6 frost heavy; the Fall nous
ssohe slpVutiog, and all danger from
,he fly has disappeared.
Our raisers of improved cattle nted
not rush their ''short horns to market
because the government is buying up
Lull ion. or because Lord Skemmersdale
is visiting the barnyardS OF the hepnD-
liz in search of $40, 900 cows.
There is some dirt offering at go to

Though soap is quoted at &c per bar.

Bring in the Giraffe, now that kmg
Frost has nipped the succulent leaves
and subSist him on conservative MAORI
ties; bury apples, turnips, cabbage and
blood beats-especially dead beats; put
over them little straw, and cover with
.S75 per acre dirt sufficiently deep to
prevent freezing: apple butter should be
buried in Sc crooks, as it will be more
easily gotten at when the ground Is fro,

At this season it is better to set gate
posts than hens; and less dangerous to
gather hornet nests for gHnwads than in
July.
A CERTAIN RESTORATION or CeNrI-
prScE IN New YoRK-As the case now
stands. there is no danger; the banks
have been receiving very large amounts
of currency daily from all parts Of the
country. and there has been a gradual
contraction OF all outstanding loans.
The mercantile failures which have oc-
Cured will not cripple the banks TO any
pcrceptible degree Money will again
be deposited i'll large amounts, which
has been locked up in boxes and LETT
with the safe deposit companies. 1t
should be known in reference to the
case. that the Associate banks will not
permit any one of their number to fail
and confluence will he restored. The
chairman OF the Clealing House Asso-
citation said yesterday that every bank
in the Association would he supported
hy every other bank, and that the re-
sources of all would he used to defeat
an, possible attempt TO break downany
one. With the resources OF all the
hanks in New York massed in this way
at anv point of danger, it will he seen
that all the banks are safe, and that de-
nosits are rs secure in one institution us
in another. With this determination
still unchanged on the part OF all the
banks to uphold common interests the
renewal of confidence will he Immediate
and certain. There are quite as many
"reenbacks and rs much National cur
rency in circulation rs before the panic'
in fact great deal of the S44,ooo'ooo
i'm rreenback reserve has been pad out
An immense quantity Of gold has also
been sent here from Europe. But the
money has been withdrawn from Its Or
tlinarv channels. 1t was taken away by
individuals who were afraid to leave II
where it could not be obtained when
called for. Now that the banks have
resolved to pay all demands in full, to
stand by each other, to extend their
lines of discount where they are most
needed and to allow none Of their num-
Der to fail, public confidence can not
s,sail to be restored Restoring public
confidence puts money into the banks;
then currency finds its proper channels;
parties who need money can obtain it
upon good security; the panic will be
checked.-NeUT York Times.
Money lenders had better look sharp,
if the predictions of the New York
Times are true. There is some force i'll
