was the marriage OF Mr.. j. ". Brooks, Jr., 9

ware firm of Ptldn & Brooks, to Miss Minnie
L. Raymond, daughter Of Mrs. Mary RAY
mond, well known among the young people
Of the Second Presbyterian Church, and esteem
ed by all for her many good qualities. The
ceremony was performed by the Rev: J. Monro
Gibson, D. D., who used the beautiful marriage
service Of the Protestant Episcopal Church. 1t
was one OF the most quiet and recherche affairs
of the season, and there was no attempt at dis
play; all was conducted in the most cordial,
home-like, and substantial manner
They were married in the drawing-room, with
the beautiful soft light streaming through the
open windows, at the hour when the lengthen-
ing shadows betokcned the close Of one OF the
loveliest Of our summer days.
The presents were rich and eleuant
and embraced many objects Of util-
ity and yertu. Immediately after the cere-
mony the neTly-1narried couple took their de-
parture for the East: Among the guests were

century, but an insight to the characters OF these

Nothing occurred during yesterday to vary the
dull routine ruling in financial affairs At this sea-
son Of the year. Transactions at the banks were
mainly confined to counter business City custom
era did not seem to be in need OF funds, and the
demand from country banks was moderate and Tar
within the means Of the city banks to supply. The
opportunities to use money prodtably At this sea-
son are limited and hence paper is carefully scru-
tinized, for the question may we'll be asked How
can customers employ funds safely 30 as to mike
their interest? Those who eau. are glndly ACCOM-
modated with all the money they ask for, at rates
very considerably below the figures ruling to yearly
customers The fact is, money is still aecumulat-
ing largely in ali the leading cities Of the country
OF course, this state Of things cannot materially
change till business Of all kinds becomes active,
and the new efa Of prosperity for which the busi-
ness public have been so long and SO anxious1y
waiting is fully inauguratcd.
There was no change in the rates Of discount at
the banks. To customers 8G10 per cent are the
figures; but class coilate1als many Of them
would be glad to concede 1@2 per cent from these
figures, possibly on large sums even more than
