FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
HonetarY,

wAsH1SGToS, Monday sTsutng, Sept 1s.
Tie week opens with buoyant feeling In local
financial circles In regard TO our District securf
ties, and though the volume Of business has been
small, the market has been characterised by q
frmness which Is hardly in keeping with "BIus
Monday" and which bespeaks an early improve
ment upon the depression which has so long been
the prominent feature Of the street, and especially
peculiar to September.
The transactions for some time have been for
small lots, and have not reflected the real strength
Of the bonds
The record Of last week shows that bids were
continuously made In the New York Stock Ex-
change without transactions. While buyers would
pay o., holders would not yield to their figures,
and IN most cases held at S. There is now an in
that buyers and sellers are more disposed 10 MAI

Our London dispatches this evening report that
the weather Is fair and favorable for gathering
the hop crop and for bringing grain into fine con-
dition. In Mark Lane English wheat Is 2s per
quarter lower than last Monday, and foreign to
Ss. lower, according to samples. Flour Is very
dull, irregular and lower.
The week opens with a quiet feeling in District
trade circles.
The receipts Of produce and merchandise at
Georgetown to-day were light and unimportant .
The Merchants Exchange opens this week with
q limited attendance Of buyers, and the transac-
tions were commensurate with their numbers
The same causes that depressed the grain trade
last week continue the distractions to business
at the opening to-day. Prices were lower and
quotations are for the lower grades of grain.

..Wh It right had Babcock to- 90 to

THAT his ord rs, as TREY existed, be carr led

TIE COUNTY CULTS.

Last year the Legislature took one stel
towards meeting the wishes of the people.
by restoring certain criminal Jurisdiction
to the County Courts, which had been most
unwisely taken away from them by its pre-
decessors. Now this winter let them com
plete the work and turn over to the County
Courts The common law docket in all mat
tiers Of debt involving less than, say s 700
with right to appeal to the Circuit
Courts, and give the county Judges re.
spectacle salary. The County Court is pr
culiarly the institution Of the pc ,ple, and
is sensitively so held by them. A man in
the country instinctively, and at first, looks
to the County Court for reparation and re-
dress. He has been educated to 1t, and his
fathers before him. and it is serious loss
and wrong when he is cut off from it. 1t is
An act of law opposed to the interests and
wishes of the people with whom is all au-
thority and from whom all power, legai
and legislative GENES. The County Court,
as place for the citizen to apply, is the
court nearest to him in certain sense
nearest to him in having his acquaintance
and affection. The most Of the cases at
law are for a sum too small to permit Of
their being taken to the Court Of Appeals,
and the effect of the present arrangement
is to give the litigants q dissatisfied and
restless feeling, and is hardship. We
trust that some peoples representative in
the Legislature will take the matter up.
and press it. The body of last year when
it saw how extensively and badly the de-
grading of the County Courts worked, took
one step backward, in restoring criminal
jurisdiction, and the present body will, if
properly informed, do the rest. The people
of the rural districts are not huddled close
together like those in the cities, and cannot
get up petitions and other machinery fol-
the redress OF wrongs as swiftly, and there
fore suffer long time before taking the
proper steps for relief. This their repre-
sentatives know, and they should save their
constituents all the labor by taking the
steps for them. mi
