FINANCIAL & COMMERCIAL.

There is no material change to note in bust
ness matters. Trade has generally been rather
light and confined mostly to articles Of necessity
The receipts OF grain are light, owing to the
lower prices since close Of navigation.
! In money matters the situation is about the
same. The banks generally confnc their accom-
modaions to their regular customers, Whose
business entities them to such favors.
In New York money matters have brighter
look and the impression is gaining ground that
the worst of the financial panic is over, and that
business will slowly but steadily improve
Money is easy on call loans at & to per cent.
In Chicago the situation Is reported a little
better than last week, and the banks are giving
aid to such Of their customers whose accounts
entitlc them to consideration, the demands COM
ing mostly from grain and provision dealers. For
call loans the market is reported easy but for
time paper is still reported close.
Government bonds have been quiet during the
week, and prices are about the same. The de-
mand is rather light.
Gold has advanced little during the week,
owing in part to the prospect Of difficulty with
Spain.

WOMEN AS TYPE sETTERs.-Some
few months since, for want of reliable
male help, we concluded to make a
trial Of women compositors, and ac-
cordingly employed two young ladies
Miss Alice S. Patton and Miss Mary
1. Lee. Following the example set
by us, each of the printing Offices in
town employed female help, and now
there are five young ladies in Oska-
loosa, engaged in type-setting. Thus
far, the plan has worked beyond our
highest anticipations, and such seems
to be the case in the other offices, and
we do not see why this may not be
recognized as new sphere of useful
ness for the other sex. AS compost
tors they are rapid and neat, are con-
slant in their attention to their work,
and we believe, will not imagine,
when year at the case gives them a
further insight into the art, that they
know more than all the older heads,
as does the Young America of to-day.
Their influence in an Office can be but
for good. We trust that other EN-.
ployers viii make the trial, aud thus
educate in the art those upon whom
reliance may be placed. And while
loud-mouthed advocates of Women's
Rights prate, and cry oppression,
let true men show that whenever op
portunity offers they will be foremost
in enlarging the boundaries of wo

EouAxcE OF WEST VIRGINIA.

Sarah J. Winemiller, a girl of
about seventeen summers, who was
sent to the penitentiary for burning
a small log church in one of the
smaller counties of the State, having
been pardoned by Governor Jacobs,
has been released. The manner in
which this girl got into the peniten-
tary is peculiar. She was enamored
of a young man who unfortunately
was charged with stealing horse
and was put in jail to await a trial
therefor. With a confidence in the
unjustness of the charge against her
inamorata and devotion to hims that
was remarkable, she proceeded to
commit the act for which she was
sent up that she might be with him
in the penitentiary. But, alas! the
man was acquitted last Fall when his
trial came off, and be has ever since,
up to the time of her pardon, been
engaged in securing his faithful
though rash sweet-heart's release.
The facts of this notable romance are
set forth in the petition. The happy
result may be imagined.

GREAT FIRE IN BALTIMORE.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 10-At half past
two o'clock this morning an alarm of
fire was sounded, and in few moments
volume of flames burst forth from the
Holiday Street Theatre, enveloping the
building. The flames poured out sim :.
ultaneously from the roof and upper
windows, and, before the steamers got
to work, it was evident the old Holli-
day was doomed to destruction. In
less than fifteen minutes the central por-
ton of the city was lit up as by great
calcium light. Up Lexington street to
Charles, in Monument square, in Balti-
more street, from Frederick to Charles
street, and in Calvert street as far north
as the Northern Central depot, the re-
Election of the flames was so intense as
to create the impression that a general
confagration had begun. A mass of
flaming cinders rolled up and was borne
by gentle breeze from the northeast
into the very heart of the city to a dis
lance of five or six blocks, over the
roofs of the Sun, American, and Gazette
offices, and the Western Union Tele-
graph offices and the adjacent buildings.
Great blazing embers rained down a
sheet of fire.
Many awnings Of stores ON Baltimore
