Business in financial circles continue
to rule quiet, with little stir in banking
circles. The banks are w~ell-supplied
with currency. Deposits are fair, with
balances well kept up. The discount
market is unchanged; the banks
discount first class commercial pa
per at SOLO y cent. y annum; on the
streets money is in demand at 2@3 y
cent. q month for short loans. Bro
kers are paying ll2@ll2i for gold, with
few transactions, Exchange con-
tinues dull and nominal at the follow
ing rates: On New York and Eastern
points buying at par and selling at 3c

ing and selling at par. There is little
or no movement in scrips or bonds and
no transactions worthy Of note-in fact,
securities of every description remain

A little girl in Gallon, Ohio, is likely
to make her way in life by her ingenuity
alone. She tied a string to her little
brothers tooth, tied the other end of the
string to the stove-leg and then touched
a red-hot coal to the little victims nose.
