The above statement shows moderate
increase in currency and deposits, and a de-
crease in loans.
The receipts of customs (gold) for the
week were as follows: Monday, S2772 90;
Tuesday, $5779 Gi; Wednesday, $26O3 so;
Thursday, sl937 s.; Friday, sli56 20; Sat
urday, S4l69 40. Total, Sls7l9 A..
The market has been more than usually
dull to-day, and a perceptible falling off in
the demand for money was reported both
in bank and on the street, but rates for
commercial paper were without quotable
variation.
Cash gold Continued scarce, and above
the New York market.
A fair movement was reported in foreign
and domestic exchange, the latter being
quoted shade higher.
Only few sales of stocks were reported,
while State and city bonds were in better
demand, the former at a slight advance.
We now quote exceptional paper at % 10
" cent " annum; AL do at t-8la; and
second grade at l50l8. First class mort.
cages rule at 90l0 y cent y annum;
second grade are entirely nominal.

A WASHINGTON special says that
BRIsTUw. jewell and PIERKEruNT are
making many enemies for themselves IN
the Administration party by their efforts
al reform Stories are commonly told
That the DELANo-W WILLIAMS faction will
=vou declare open hostilites, and the
Administration organ of the 23d, pub
Ir-hed very peculiar editorial Of which
the following is an extract:
"None will DENY to careful and con-
.rlentlOus official all the honor he may
deserve for the reforms he may le-
ultimately establish, but II careful and
conscientious official will avoid, aS far as
possible, any effort to build up a reputa-
tlOu at the expense of others, and to the
injury of his party. NO two men do
business alike, and while new brooms
provrrblally sweep clean. It must BE- re
lnembered that all the virtue and IN
dependence Of the company j. not en-
comprised by recently appointed Ollie
ial>.'
Now that looks a. if the administration
itself wa, mad, and more than that, it is
y confession though evidently uninten-
tioualj that any efforts made by an hon
e-t official at this time, to do honestly,
will result in damage to the party. That
sounds curiously, but its true. The con-
trast exhibited, being so different from
the reputation of the party, will be dam
aging indeed.

GRAssHOPPER RAvAGEs.

Notwithstanding that the telegraph
report, that the ravages Of the grass
hopper or locust in the West have been
greatly exaggerated, facts do not verify
the statement. A gentleman Of this
city, Yesterday placed in our hand, let
Ter received from his father in Atchison.
Kansas, which paints indeed u sad pic
ture of the present condition and future
prospects of the farms and farmers i'll
that region. This letter say, that one
farmer had planted 800 acres OF corn,
100 acre, in Timothy and 100 in Blue
grass, vet not stalk OF corn nor
blade Of grass Is now visible. On
the entire surface Of thi, large
farm, nothing remains but lGO
acres of prairie grass. The writer him
srlfowus - farm which he has cudeavor-
ed to cultivate, and he says that he has
about siN acres Of corn, knee high, still.
standing, and about twenty acres OF oats
Just heading; but everything else Is gone,
aud the cora bids fair 10 follow, for while
standing in the field, he could see the
stalks falling to the ground, from having
been cut oil near their bases by the
voraciOus insects lie further says that,
with the exception of prairie grass, and
larger trees eastern Kansas and western
Missouri look ~ desolate as in mid
winter. The corn and oats on his own
farm, he states, were more than OF all
the other farms in the nciGhborhood, put
together. Eastern money Is loaned at
from II to IL per cent. interest, and even
then only when secured by mortgage
on the farms. and, OF course all SO mort
gagged at such heavy rate Of interest,
must in few years, pass out Of the
hands OF their present owners.
He concludes by saying that his state
ment may appear exaggerated, but it Is
true. and no adequate idea Of the actual
dr.olation existing there and i'll the sur.
rounding country, can be- conveyed in
words. The only hope is that as the
locust, are departing in larger numbers,
(darkening the air AS they tlyl the season
vet may be- favorable enough to enable
corn 10 be raised.
This surely is picture calculated to
dissbuse the mind of the idea that just
now. the West is the place for any
Young man to 20. We have frequently
heard it said that there was strong de-
sire on the part Of many in this State TO-.
10 emigrate; but we rather think that
such statement as is here presented will
Immediately cause any wise man who has
ever entertained such an idea, to abandon
II forthwith. West Virginia has bet
ter prospect for the future than almost
any State in the Union. She has been
signally blest in being free from all such
rayages as here described, and with good
