New York Money Market.

NEW York, March 31.-The Treasury
programme has had serious effect in fnan-
cial circles. Gold advanced Il per cent,
money rose to per cent. per
diem and interest 2S0 per cent. per
snnum, and stocks, under an active selling
movement, declined 163a per cent. Mer-
chants have been compelled to buy gold
heavily, and are indignant at the neglect of
the Treasury to come to their relief. Gold
and money market is very stringent, and
prices on call advanced rapidly from l-l6,
!, and Z per cent. per diem, and
interest, which is about she highest
rate, though some loans were rumored at
l per cent. The banks called in some
loans, one of them to large amount, and
there were shipments to moderate
amount to interior for April settlements.
Sterling demoralIzed and closed nominal at
II for long ard 81 for short sight. It is es-
timated that there is about IL, 500
900 borrowed exchange outstanding.
The gold market is buoyant and excited,
with wide and frequent fluctuations, open
ing steady at 116s61f7; there
was an early rise to 1174, followed
by a decline to 1859, from which a
steady upward movement carried the pre-.

SUICIDE
A MAN Cuts His Throat from Ear TO
Ear

Ear.
Last week Bob Garrett, who lived 10
Wilson county, between this city and Leb-
anon, committed suicide by cutting his
throat from ear to ear, both jugular veins
being severed by the mad-desth steel. The
family were at the breakfast table when the
unfortunate man committed the deed. His
wife upon entering bis room where she bad
left him but few minutes before, fell with
a shrek of terror to the floor where the
c. rpse of her husband lay bathed in blood.
We did not learn the cause of the deed.

CURRENCY AND EXCHANGE.

Currency is easy with the banks, as the
demand for money is but moderate, and
the banks seem not disposed to loan out
their funds very extensively. The loans
that are made are generally on thirty and
sixty days time, and always at the rate Of
10 per cent per annum.
Exchange is firm and the demand is in
excess of the offerings. The banks draw at
81 per thousand premium and buy at par.
Sight cotton bills are taken at /. discount.
GOLD AND SILVER.
Gold is very active and higher, though
there is decline from the highest point
reached yesterday. 1t opened at III, ad-
vaDced to 1881 and closed at 117S. Deal
ers here do not seem disposed to follow the
New York rate very closely, and for the
small lots offering pay l16. Silver is bought
at 107.
GOVERNMENT BONDS.
There was slight decline in government
funds yesterday, and they do not seem to
keep pace with gold. The following are

animos del vulgo para consegnir, apo
yandoos en- la ignorancia y validos de
la falsedad, un escabel para subir has
la donde os dicta la ambicion; no es
esa vuestra idea, no es vuestro pensa
niento hacer puentes, Was ferreas,
caminos y establecer fdbricas, no es
vuestro ideal el procurar obras de or
namento que den pan al trabajador y
adelanto 4 las artes & industrias de la
Nacion; vuestras aspiraciones son las
de saciar vuestras particulares miras
de lucro personal
Ahora bien: conocido ell deher inc
ludible de la prensa de ante todo pro
curar cuanto redunde en- beneicio del
pals, iusto, justfsimo nos parece que
Sc dedique 4 defender sus ideas pol1-
ticas, pero en- ell terreno de los argu-
mentos y la razoD, nunca en- ell del
insulto y la difamacion.'
Las polemicas periodfsticas deben
atender & ilustrar, y la mission del es-
critor no es procurar rencillas perso-
males que NADIA interesan al pdblico y
que hacen hasta que sean desprecia-
das las publicaciones por el lectoT,
causando en- vez de distraction, enfa
do y t@dio.
SIN embargo, cuando Sc prostltu-
yen ciertos peri6dicos hasta el extro-
mo de declararse abiertamente nues-
tros implacables enemigos polit'cos,
no con razones convincentes sino cOn
frases calumniosas llenas de hiel;
cuando Sc nos hace entrever toda la
pomona que enciePran sus columns
contra nuestros derechos y cootra los
mejores defensores de nuestra nacio
nalidaa; y, finalmente, cuando Sc nos
ataca de un modo incali6cabie sin
respetar NADIA, sin dique que las con-
tenga en- ell desbotdamiento veneno-
so de sus apreciaciones; entonces por
deber, como escritores y como espa-
loles incondicionales, c0ntestamOs y
rebatimos con mas cordura, COZ mas
! comedimient6 que nunca pero con Ia
mas indisputable verdad.
Los successes de Camuy constiiuyen
uno de los acontecimientos que han
desenmascarado q determinadas entl-
dades.
iC6mo peri6dicos que sc lamau
espanoIes, que deben serlo y tieoen
adoptado por lena 81 de un partilo
politico de Ia nacjon, 10 m;smo en- Ia
cala0eracEa de Lares que en- los suce
sos dc Camuy, defender llenos de
uervosa excitacion a los sepa' 'atistas
ajando nuestra dignidad nacional y
atacando a instituciones espafolas1
Ante I'm ataque contra Ia Raciona-
lidad comun, los particles desapare.
cen; solo debo quedar inc6Iume eI
entusiasmo patrio. Recuerdesa ell af1c
1903 In el Sc demostr6 cua es e
caracter espanol, y los espanoles in
condlclona,es tendremos nuestras di-
sidencias poiiticas, pero, dado ca5c
de que se olenda nuestra dignidad
nacionsl, todos somos Epltsribas asaa
8, 10 que es 10 mismo, todos los par
tidos nos conVertlmos en- un so't
cuerpo nacional.
