Colonel w. ID. Holder, prominent
and we'll known insurance man of
Memphis, Is in the city.
j. NJ. Smith, late of Lamar Hotel,
has, in connection with Mr.. b. NJ.
Cleveland, opened an eating house at
the crossing of the Texas and Pacific
and Central railroads. Both gentle
men have the reputation of knowing
how to please their guests, and it will
be their aim to make their house the
best of the kind In Texas. We know
that they are capable Of 30 doing, and
wish them much success.

Miss Idu Cooke.

We regretted very much that so few
were out last night to hear this pleas
ant reader, the daughter of the Hon.
Gustave Cooke, Judge OF the Criminal
Court of Harris and Galveston coun-
ties. The room Of the Courthouse il
too large for the compass of a young
lady's voice, however penetrating it
may be, and it was with difficulty that
Miss Cooke could be heard distinctly
at the rear of the room where the prin-
cipal part of the audience sat. The
young, fair reader rendered but three
pieces. but in those she evinced
u highly cultivated, pure and sweet
voice-indeed, in carefully listening to
some of her beautiful sentences, we
had almost thought that she possessed
that roc orgentd-that silver voice-ot
which Cicero makes such honorable
mention.
For ourself at any rate, we tender to
Miss Cooke our sincere thanks for the
treat she gave us, and beg to extend to
her our profound regrets that a larger
audience should not have had the
pleasure Of listening to her charming
utterances.

Captain Tune Peak AMI ihe Frontier
EchO.

Captain June Peak and the Frontier
Echo.
The following communication was
received yesterday by Captain June
Peak, and is rather better reply to the
scurrilous article which short time
since appeared in the Frontier Echo
than the answer Of our popular City
Marshal himself. The article is signed
by several of the most prominent citi-
zens Of Jacksboro, and il q rutributive
rebuke to the Insignificant indivi lual
who slandered our City Marshal and
reflected upon The HERALD through
the columns of his journal 81. The
article shows in an eminent degree the
estimation in which he is held by his
fell0w-townsmen:
JAcRsBoRo, Texas, December II, 1875.
June Peak, City Marshal, Dallas, Texas:
DEAR SIR--THE DALLAS HERALD
containing your reply, in regard to the
Dill matter, reached us this evening.
We would say simply that your friends
here did not believe you would make
such statement about our town with
out cause. So far as the Echo is con-
cerned 1t is edited by n little dimutive
Kansas yankee, who came here to edit
neutral paper, and intimated he was
Democrat. but has proven himself
perfect rascal. The article here has
not done YOU or The HERALD any
harm, and we hope The HERALD will
make it 80 hot for him that he will
have to hunt Kansas to crawl into. AS
q choice We would rather our names
would'not be mentioned in connection
with the above, but assure you they are
all true.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.
MONETARY.


FAlDAY EVENING, October l. 1875.
The Clearinghouse statement shows that
the movement OF the past six days has
been of greater volume than that of the
previous week. The demand continues ac
tive both in bank and on the street, and the
offerings of paper are still in excess OF the
loanable funds. On the street particularly
the market has been stringent throughout
the week. Some parties are OF opinion
that the payments on the fourth will place
a considerable sum tor reinvestmeht ut the
present tempting rates. We have no
change to make in our quotations. The
activity in the market is regarded as
fair , index of the increasing busi-
ness movement. The situation is
believed to be more promising than for sew
eral years past.
The high rate of gold continues to be an
interesting feature. At present there seems
to be no indication of its settling down per-
maneDtly, and no immediate prospect of
relief to the prevailing scarcity. The i'm
provement IN general business has been foi-
lowed by more activity in foreign and do
mestic exchange, but the sales OF both were
only moderate to-day. Under the present
commercial demand for money there is
little movement in securities, and only oc-
casional transactions are reported in stocks
and bonds.
We notice that the city Administrator of
Finance is now engaged in preparing and
signing the new city bonds to be exchanged
under the pre- MUM bonded scheme, and ex-
poets to have Them ready for distribution
in few days.
We continue to quote collateral loans at
l00l2 y cent per annum discount; first
class commercial paper at II a -; AL do At
| Is alll y cent, and second grade at II
MS First class mortgages rule al 10 p
cent II annum. We hear of no negotia-
tiuns in second grade.
