MONEY has become 90 abundant in
New York that there Is a very active de-
mand for government bonds and railroad
mortgages. The advance in both classes
oil securities since the first Of January has
been very marked. Capitalists do not be.
gin to find enough undoubted commercial
paper to meet their demands, and SO are
forced into buying governments and mort.
cages. This state Of things is not likely
to continue beyond this month. Itusually
takes turn along about this time III the
season. Even now we notice that the ex.
changes Of the West and South have
turned against New York under the freer
movements Of cotton, grain and provia.
ions, and 1t is probable that there will be
a westward flow of currency before the
end Of this month.
In speaking Of the plethora of money
not only in the East, but also in the West,
the Chicago Tribune Of Monday observes
that
Country bankers and money.lenders
from three different quarters in this State
during the past week tell US that there was
never SO much money in the country as
now, and that more Is offered for loan on
mortgages Of farms than can be used.
Much OF 1t has been, and is still being,
sent into this city for investment in COM
mercial paper and mortgages. But this
avenue OF employment Is already becom-
ing Inadequate to tho supply Of money,
and even money.lenders themselves ad-
NIT that decline inSthe rates oil interest,
outside Of banks, Is more than probable "
The active demand for mortgage secu.
rites in New York Is noted in our finsn.
cial dispatch this morning, This shows
what was said months ago, that the panic
has driven people to hunt investments
that are secure instead OF those that prom.
ise high interest and afford poor security.

Good character is above all things
else.
Never listen to loose or idle conversa-

Your character cannot be essentially

If anyone speaks evil of you, let your
life be so virtuous that none will be-
lieve him.
Drink no Intoxicating liquors.
Ever live, misfortunes excepted, with
in your income.
When you retire to bed, think over
what you have done during the day.
Never speak lightly of religion.
Make no haste to be rich if you would
prosper.
Small and steady gains give compe-
tency, with tranquility of mind.
Never play at any kind of game.
Avoid temptation through fear that
you may not withstand it.
Earn your money before you spend it.
Never run in debt unless you see a
way to get out again.
Never borrow if you can possibly
avoid it.
Be just before you are generous.
Keep yourself innocent if you would
be happy.
Save when you are young to spend
when you are old.
Never think that which you do for re-
lgion is time or money misspent.
