The easy rates for money on the street reflect
simply the stagnatiOn OF business and would be
quickly changed II Congress would only reach
some decision upon the legal tender question. The
situation Is ripe Tor some bold leader and 1t is thus
that the ADVENT OF jay Gould into the arena or
active contact for control is hailed. Lively times
are expected as the result OF his recent daring
raid and the most unpopular thing in the street is
to say aught against him.

The Story of the Past Week
Current Values.
WALL STREET,
SUNDAY, March Is, 1874.

ouNDAY, march 10, 1874.
Congress INDUCED in vacation upon the
financial question during the past week, and the
result is continuance OF the same dulness on Wall
street and elsewhere, in which brokers' market is
all that can be claimed for the current transactions.
Now that Mr. Richardson has recognized the
force OF public opinion IL took him long
time to do IT. and consented to let the
legal tenders remain at $685.. 100000 the
sudden advent OF Jay Gould into respectable asso-
citation has brought new instinct of chances in
the future. and operators are pausing to see his
next move. MIR Gould holds very large amount
OF Union Pacific stock and boasts that he Will put
1t up to- "a high figure. To do this he says he will
lock up his own stock and so press the short In
terest. II Mr. Gould can create that impression
he will doubtless find good market to unload on,
but there are other older birds than he around the
street, and perhaps he may not capture themwith
such chat. In the meantime there Is an immense
interest waiting Tor some new deal, and whoever
shufes the cards has O chance to direct the play
TILE MONEY MARKET
during the week has ruled with such extreme ease
as to make rates merely nominal, with foreign ex-
change quiet and dull.

THERE Is no use in manuring land to grow

AS TIE period Of individual human
life must ever remain uncertain, life in.
surance must ever continue necessary to
that large proportion Of civilized men
whose fortunes depend upon their person.
al efforts. Life insurance is moral agent
in human society, facilitating the divine
institution Of marriage, the moral keystone
of civilization. CONSCIENTIOUS and timid
men often refrain from marriage through
the fear of being unable to provide for
their families in the event Of their own
premature death. Hence in our large cit
les even in this comparatively early age of
American civilization, fatal tendency is
already manifested among the moral cult
waited classes Of young men to herd togeth-
err IN club life--to devote themselves to a
sort Of cpicurean celibacy at once enervat-
ing, immoral and despisable. 1t Is within
the legitimate sphere of life insurance adj
yocaey to lend strong hand towards coun.
teracting the evil influences Of this social
