FINANCIAL a. COMMERCIAL,

There is no material change to note in bust
ness matters. Trade has been rather quiet in all
branches Of business. The receipts Of grain have
been somewhat heavier.
In money matters the situation remains about
the same rs previously reported. The demand
is fair, and generally absorbs the loanabe funds;
and for long time loans the market is very fairly
supplied.
Ia Chicago the market is reported easy, and
for frst.claSs paper the market is reported from
to 10 per cent.
Gold has been quite steady during the past
week, the fluctuations have been slight and few.
The price closes steady in New York at ll6Ato

Since March LIST this year, this society, through
the personal labors Of its missionaries, organized
and aided 79l Sunday schools in the northwest
which have membership Of 1899 teachers and
253G4 scholars. Since this work is expended for
those who are not reached by any OF the churches
it must be evident that real, hard and honest
missionary work has been done to reach these
twenty-five thousand children in seven months.
Speaking Of the society d. s. Moody, the great
lay preacher says:
From long personal acquaintance with the
Sunday School work Of the west, and especially
in Illinois, | can say truthfully that no agency
has done so much to plant Sunday Schools in
destitute and neglected places as the American
Sunday School Union. II could speak to every
church, Sunday school, christian and philanthro-
pist in the land, would plead with them to give
the American Sunday School Union a large place
in their contributions for believe there is no
work for Christ that yields a quicker, larger or
richer return for the money expended, and no
society that should be more literally supported"
Any who will aid the society in carrying for
ward It's work may send their contributions to

whether to allow another hearing. On Monday
the matter was finally settled 10y the refusal o.
the court to grant second re-hcaring This
leaves the r. r. Co. finally victorious.
The Chicago tax case now in the hands OF the
Judges involve some very important legal ques
lions that concern every town, village ana city
in this state. The questions referred to are
whether a law, referring merely to the particu'
lars of n corporate organisation, is not special
law and prohibited by the constitution by that
clause which provides that no corporation shall
be organized by special laws. II it should be de-
termined that a general law for corporations
must be one under which corporation can or
gaaizc with its functions complete, and that
special laws cannot be passed changing the or
ganixation and powers of the mayor or common
council, or taxing officers at the will of the leg
islature, it would remove from the statute large
number OF special acts which is claimed already
make tmpossib bic for the best lawyer to ascertain
what is the law actually governing any city or
village in this state. Section Of the act OF
1851 It is claimed, operates to eytinguish every
law Tor making local Improvements by the au-
thoritics of every town in the state! That, If
valid, il repealed the sections Of the township
organization Law and every town charter in the
or public highways as well as all improvements
vi a local nature which are ordinarily made by
special legislation.
The section is very sweeping in its character,
md never could have been enacted if the legis.
laturc had understood the extent Of the opera
ton of its words.
1t is claimed that no mention in the title to the
act is made Of this section, and hence that the
act is void. The decision of this question af.
lGcts every town in the state and the decision of
the Supreme Court will be watched with great
interest. There are one hundred and fifty cases
in which these questions occur from Chicago
alone before the court They involve over three
millions of dollars.
The question Of double sets Of assessors and
collectors in towns which include city or village
under a special charter will come up. 1t is claim.

Get Of officers which burden such towns, and
thGt the city assessor and city collector are su.
