Business in money circles to-day was
exceedingly quiet, with little animation
being exhibited in banking circles. The
only movement in the market was the
local checking and depositing. The
banks report collections easy, with fair
deposits and money easy and plentiful.
The supply Of currency is equal to the
demands Of trade. The discount mar
ket is steady and unchanged, first
class paper ruling at SOLO p cent. y
annum; on the streets the rate is 2@3 D
cent. y month for short loans. Brokers
are paying ll5@ll5i for gold, with light
transactions. Exchange is in light sup
ply, with a light demand at the following
rates: On New York and Eastern points
buying at par and selling at fcpremium;
New Orleans, 4c discount buying and
selling at par. Police and fire scrip is in
active demand from merchants, who are
paying $4,000 for it and receiving it
for merchandise at its face value; there
is very little Of the above scrip in the
market. State and county warrants are
steady and unchanged. There is little
or nothing doing in railroad stocks or
foreign securities,

Columbia is looking forward to the

anticipate an increased trade from the

says:

'otknowing everything in advance of the
rest OF the state. The editor and re-
porter, although burdened with eytro
labor wall hail the advent of the assembcd
wisdom with exceeding JOY after the
long, deli summer.
ne session, too, promises to be big
with the ,fatc OF perties,and the common
veal. The subjects to he dealt with will
oe OF intense interest to the politician and
TO the fax payer. First, vii come the
veto of the tax bill and the formation of
new one. We feel certain that n lsr~e
majority of the members, after hayino
met their constituents, Will return to
columbia convinced that economy is the
one thing demanded. They will doubt

expressed desire to bring the levy down
to one per cent.

With; this number the TRIBUNE ends
It's first vo!rmc. In emb arking in this
enterprise cur object was to give the pco.
pie OF Beaufort county a paper that was
rct under TIE control of the Autccrot Of
the court house, and because we like the
profession. Our success has far exceeded
o"r. hopes, and as long as the people con-

There is no question as to the sincerity
OF the Columbia officials in their desire
Tor Fefrenchmeut. The latest instance is
the need of twenty five cords of wood for
the state house for which proposals arc
invited through advertisements in the
Charleston News. and the Union Herald.
we calculate that the wood is worth
about two dollars cord in Columbia,
aud the charges for advertising for The
desired quantity amounts tc-say four
squares and SIX insertions in each paner
