Money, Business and the Currency

The last circular letter of Henry
Clews & Co., New York, dated May
9th, gives rather gloomy outlook
upon the general state of business.
The excessive strlngency of
money, extended with slight inter
mission over six months, has tested
severely every department of bust
ness, and left behind it unwelcome
results. The Spring trade is very
dull, and there prevails in every
branch Of business 4 feeling of dis
appointment, under which prices
are yielding, i'll some cases very ma
terially under forced sales Of goods.
Remlttanccs from the interior have
been backward, and country buyers
are very cautious.
The circular says:
In recording this unsatisfactory
state of things, it is important to
keep in view that it arises from an
entirely needless cause. Before the
monetary crisis set in, we had all
the condit ions necessary to a pros
porous trade; abundant crops, leav-
ing us an excessively large supply
of cotton, grain and provisions for
export; general activity and pros
porous condition of our manufac-
lures; and an active spirit of enter
prise calculated to enlist capital and
labor in new undertakings: these
were the conditions upon which we
had reasonably based high expecta-
tons upon the business Of the first
six months of the year. There has
been but one cause to defeat these
expectations, viz: the extraordina-
ry stringency of the money market;
a str.ngency due entirely to the Pc
culia: nature of our banking ar
engagements. If the value of 4 bank
ing system is to be estimated by the
value Of the services rendered to
commerce, by the readiness with
which it meets the varying require
ments OF business, and by it's pre-
serving steady, even condition of
the loan market, then the national
banking system must be conceded
to have proved itself sadly deficient
in some ofthc most essential condi-
tions Of good banking. The bu,i-
ness of the country has clearly out
grown the basis on which the system
was first established. No further
proof of this is needed than the
fact that the loans Of the banks Of
this city have to be contracted at
the very season when the marketing
of crops calls for their expansion.
The legal tender currency is requir-
ed at the same time for purposes of
general circulation and for the re-
serve of the banks. The people
have absolute control over so much
as may be needed for their own pur-
poses, while the banks have no con-
troll over the supply necessary for
their reserves, being at all times
subject to paying them on demand.
With this difficulty in keeping in
their vaults an amount of lawful
money equal to the requirements of
the reserve laws, the ability of the
banks to loan is being steadily cur
tailed; for their loans become in
turn, deposits, against which re-
serve has to be- held. This is
especially tho case with the banks
of New York City; and tho same
difficulty is rapidly gaining ground

What to do in Case Of Accident.

Prof. Wilder, Of Cornell Universi-
~, gives the following short rules
for action in cases of accident, which
1t will be found useful TO preserve or
remember.
For dust 10 the eyes, avoid rub.
ding dash water into them remove.
cinders with the round point Of q
lead pencil.
Remove wax from the ear by
tepid water never put q hard in
strument into the ear.
Han tr cry is cut, compress above
he wound, if a vein is cut, compress
below.
1t choked, get upon all Iours and
cough.
For slight burn, dip the part in
cold water; if the skin is destroyed,
cover with warn sh.
Smo her fire with carpets, &C.;
water will often spread burning oil
aud increase danger. Before pass
ing through sn oke take full reath
and then stoop low but if earbonic
acid gas is suspected, walk erect.
Suck poisoned wounds, unless
vour mouth is sore enlarge the
wound or, what is better, cut out the
wound without delay, hold the
wounded part as long as can be
borne TO hot coal or the end of "a
cigar.
In case of poisoning excite vomit-
ing by tickling the throat or by
warm water or mustard.
For acid poisons give acids
white of egg is good in most cases
IN case OF opium poisoning, give
strong coffee aud keep moving
If in the water, float on the back
with the nose and mouth pr jecung
For apoplexy, raise the head and

reason combing wool sheep run

Tha story Of some Hot Water.

About two hundred years ago, q
man. bearing the title OF Marquis OF
Worcester, was sitting, on q cold
night in q small. mean room, be.
fore a blsEing fire. This was in
ireland, and the man WAS prisoner.
A kettle Of boiling water was on the
Gre, and be sat watching the steam,
az IL lifted the lid OF the kettle ana
rushed out Of the I oee.
lie thought Of the power Of the
steam, and wondered what would
be the effect If be were TO tasteD
down the lid and stop up the nose.
lie concluded that the effect would
90 10 burst the kettle. How much
power, then" thought he, "ther'

by the power of steam, drove up

this, a little boy, whose name war

was not idle; be was thinking OF
the power of the steam in moving
