way Of the latest fashions and novelties
it cannot be excelled or even equaled in

we're elegantly and tasleinlly deco
rated with bouquets, sireamers and
flags. Each steamer was drawn by four
we'll trained horses, which seemed to en-
joy the procession and the decorations
on their harness. The display was wit
messed by thousands Of people, who were
not reticeut in pronourcing the depart
ment perfect in management, appoint
ment and material. The men were
dressed in full uniform, and presented
fine appearance. The procession closed
with long line Of open hacks, 10 which
we're city officials. Aldermen, Council
men and citizens.
The Fire Department consists Of one
chief, five captains, four engineers and
thirty-two fremen, divided into four en-
CINE companies and one hook and ladder
company. Each engine company has a
complement of nine officers and men,
the hook and ladder company Eve. All
the engines connected with the depart
ment are in good, serviceable condition,
as are also the nineteen horses belonging
TO the force. As of our Police Depart
ment, it may be said also OF the Fire
Department, that it is good in every es-
sential particular and is credit to the
city.
In addition to the FIRE department,
there are one hundred and eighty-one
fire-plugs provided by the water com
pany for use in case of fires, most val
liable aid toward protecting property
and life against the raids of the " fire
iiend." Our citizens can give evidence
Of the fact that for ability, promptness,
energy and daring the men Of the fire
department cannot be excelled by those
of any other city. At twelve clock the
members of the department and a num-
Der of invited guests repaired to the Ex-
position building and sat down to ban
quet given to the gallant fremon Of our
city. Let there be parade of the
iiremen each year. Let it be an ami
versary celebration.

Madison street wears its usual sum
mer aspect to-day, and beyond the reg
ular daily counter business the banks
are doing little. The demand for money
from first-class borrowers is on the waue,
and scarcely any gilt-edge paper is
noticed seeking discount now, the banks
take an unusually active interest in that
and would be free lenders at the regular
rates, but on outside notes, secured by
real estate or endorsements, thOy don't
care to calculate the interest on. Elk
change is in better supply, and rates,
though not quotably lower, are easier,
especially on New Orleans CONNER
cial bills. New York and other
Eastern commercial bills are taken at
par, and New Orleans at s@lc discount,
sight checks on the former selling at ic
premium, and on the latter point at par.
Gold is ll7sc in New York and is taken
by dealers here at ll6@ll6sc. Local
investments are without marked change.
