TlHE Cincinnati Gazette makes the aeto-
Il nishing announcement that Cincinnati
beer is ne longer pure, but adulterated with
molasses, sugar OF starch, fusel oil and the
poisonous coichicum. The Commissioners
Of Agriculture, in his report for 1865. says
that Prof. Mapes, OF New York, analyzed
tho beer from dozen different breweries,
and found all of it adulterated. Cocculus
Indicus and nux vomica entorod largely
into it's composition

FINANCIAL It COMMERCIAL.

Business has been very quiet during the past
week, the bad roads preventing the marketing OF
grain and produce, Trade in all branches has
been confined to necessities of life.
In the money market there is no material
change to note. The supply Of funds for long
time loans is good, and parties having first class
security find no difficulty in getting what they
need at the usual rate. For short time loans the
supply is fair and the banks generally accommo.
date their regular customers. The market seems
to be working a little easier.
In Chicago the market is reported very easy on
call loans ut to per cent, and for short loans
the market is moderately easy on trst.cass Sc
curity at the usual rate of ten per cent.
Gold has declined little during the week and
the market closes quiet ut lllA.
Government bonds have been in fair demand.
Prices have declined Il little in sympathy with
gold. The offerings rather light and are fully
absorbed by the demand.
