The Times says:-''There almost nothing doing in
discount Saturday and the rate nominal 1t the
same with money which is excessively cheap that
the banks and discount houses refuse to look
at any but the very best paper, because it
is not worth while take any risk
For the struggling trader the present torpor
is therefore, worse than dearer money might be. With
to tempt business he might get some accommoda
ton, but now he gets none The simple result of this
must be that many houses Of small means will succumb
This cheap money is therefore, about the most severe
purifier of the market that could be conceived at the
present moment"

1.-THE WORLD" AND ITS WORK.

Those of our Democratic friends who
desire to subscribe for New York
Paper will find none that equals The
World in ability, or that so fearlessly
and Gle arly advocates Democratic
principles. In the news from all parts
of the world, it is complete, and its
editorials on all subjects are vigorous
and logical. To the farmer it is I'M
valuable: teaches him many things
that tend to promote his best interests
which he sorely needs his eyes opened
to. The World is now doing a great
work in behalf of the Democratic party,
and should be fully sustained. - Bing-
