THE LOAN MARKET.
TIE RECORD OF REAL-ESrATE NCuMnRANcEs
filed the past week extends only over I've days,
Saturday being observed as public holiday by
our patriotic public officers. This fact accounts
in some measure for the paucty Of the figures
in the statement below. The general situation
is unchanged, plenty OF money, but few good
loans, and downward tendency in tho rate OF
interest. Loan agents eay that tho mast weak
has been the dul1est known for long time.
There is general feeling Of unezainess On the
part OF Eastarn capitalists with regard to the
security On which their leans are based, and an
impression that real estate has been rated at too
high figure There may be soua grain Of
truth in this impression, but Ut tho sa1ne time
Wa beg to remind our Eastern friends that wo

Remembered and Forgotten.

We met when the glow Of day time
e Was fair in the heavens above
IN the flush Of the golden May time.
with light, and laughter, and love.
And the clouds of amber were tlrifted,
The Day Kingswaa westward rolled, sEi
And the curtain ofnight was lifted
IN a shadowy, noiseless fold
Ere yet the lilies had faded,
Ere yet the roses of June
Made sweet the arbors they shaded,
With the wealth of their rich perfume,
We parted The flowers are blowing
The birds are warblihg with glee-
The brook to the river is flowing
The river steals on to the seal
And you are happy in deenling
That love knows never sigh,
And / am weary Of ofdreaming
That love is golden lie
The world spins round with laughter,
Sorrow aud pain between,
And you reek not what follows after
You care not for what has been.
To you twas pleasans play time,
That love which lasted q moon,
Which was born in the blush of May time,
And died in the arms of June!
The glory of summer falls tlrickly
On woodland, meadow and dell!
Though yoss have forgotten SO quickly,
Aud I have remembered SO well.
