THE FOREIGN MARKET.
The London quotations have been steady for
consols and barely 80 for United States bonds, the
few changes recorded in the latter being on the
declining side. Erie shares were lower, In SYM
patty, doubtless, with the sharp decline in this
market, but closed pretty steady at a reaction to
80, which figure is equivalent to about 65H in our
currency The new French loan was quoted at
premium of ~ per cent, ex the semi-annual in
terest Of OK per cent. French rentes were lower
at 65.40.
THE GOVERNMENT PURCHASE OF BONDS.
The advertisement OF the government fer mil
lion OF ve-twenties elected tenders to the extent
OF $4,o4e,10o, at prices ranging from 1896 to
l1424-the large amount offered being reflection
and consequence Of the scarcity OF money and, in
degree, of the call Of the Treasury for the re-
nemption Of hundred millions Of the e2's on the
LIST Of June next. As the lowest price of gold dur
ing the day was ia the million was readily OBJ
tanned, the prices paid ranging from 1896 to
1885.
MONEY STRINGENT
The money market was stringent up to the close
of banking hours, and the rate on call ranged from
z per cent, as the exceptional figure on govern
ment colaterals, to Il per cent on stocks. The
average business, however, was somewhere be-
tween 1872 and 116, say At 132 and interest, equal
to about 1sH per cent per annum. Just before
three O'Clock the rate had fallen to 164 and inter-

been looking for years. Arrived at
Leavenworth, he proceededss'o the farm
house of William B. Smith, about one
mile from the depot. He met the man
in the field, called him Isaiah B. Dilts,
and TOOK him prisoner. At FIRST blts
declared that was not his tame, but he
soon after admitted the fact, and also
that he killed George Dennie His
wife also betrayed herself into making
the same admission
Dennle was young man whom Dilts
twice assaulted with a club. The Sec
ond time Dennie took the club from
him, when the latter drew a pistol shot
and killed him. Dilts had this same
pistol on his person when arrested on
Friday by Sheriff Irwin. Dilts was

enworth, and there put In Jail about

ty many years, and is known by his
neighbors as u ooknosed Smith y

DESTRUCTION OF THE MINING
VILLAGE oF FAIRPLAY, COLORADO.
-Two-thirds Of the fourishing min
ing town Of Fairplay, Colorado, was
destroyed by fire Friday night, the
26thsuIt. The FIRE originated in the
Fairplay House and spread rapidly in
every direction. All the stores, print
ing Offices, United States Land-ofice,
post office, express Offices, hotels and
other business places, with two or three
exceptions, were entirely destroyed.
Many lost stores. stocks, dwellings, and
everything except the clothes on their
persons. Much suffering will be the
result, as the season is to far advanced
for rebuilding. and the weather. IS al
ready extremely cold.

WHAT IS WANTING TO RESTORE
CoNFIDENoE.-One very hopeful feat
pre noted was thc increased movement
in foreign exchange Greenbacks put
into circulation IN that channel reach
the street and become Immediately
available. The trouble iu that respect
has been that business houses have
no confidence IN the best bills Of ex.
change. In revuIsion which had
destroyed the strong and left the weak (,
a few hours might see the failure of
these apparently most stable. It is
The general belief that commercial
deadlock has arisen chiefly from this
want OF confidence. The movement
in exchange is returning, and the opin-
ion is generally expressed that the re-
sumption Of discounts and currency
payments by the banks is all that is
wanting to restore trade to its natural
volume.-New York Journal.
