Review Of Last Weeks Bank
ing Affairs.
Effect Of Railway Competition on
Stockholders.
The Produce Markets Moderately
Active---Proyision Again
Weak.
Wheat, Corn, and Rye Stronger
Barley Dull and Tame.


Business closed on Saturday upon very Gull
week. True, there was more er-baslnees'
but scarcely any increase in the demand for money
was noticed. Some of the banks, IN faiE reported
none whatever. Settlements for the Slrst or inc
month were comparatively very small, as the table
Of the Clearing House will show. Any attempt 10
write up the opening of the full business would DC
abortiye and useless for the facts will not warrant
it. For the last two days Of the week the weather
perfect; but even that did not affect the
chronic dullness 80 uucomrortably felt for long
time past.
The bank discounts were as heretofore. 5Wlo
per cent to customers All good paper Is freely
taken, and larger offerings would be most gladly
accepted. County bankers send in the largest par
ccls and orders for currency are kept mp to con-
siderable amount. The mercantile banks manage
to find use for fair proportion OF their money,
but the packers banks have a large idle surplus.
Call and short time loans. with satisfactory col
laterals, are made at per cent and upwards.
On the street, very little is doing, and rates are
nominal at GQ11s per cent.
New York exchange is abundant at the previous
rate, viz, SOC discount per 81, 900. OF course,
this is the rate between banks; to customers par.
The clearings for the week ending Sept were

ASswEr-The reason is that (mistakes in figures
apart), the report of the Inspector il made up to
about IL o'clock OF the day his figures are posted,
while railroad reports for the day prcced~
ing that on which their figures appear on the bull
letin, and some again are believed to be alWars two

housemen are responsible for the discrepancies
which are SO numerous and SO palpable that

There comes occasionally to our sane
tum a paper with the above head, ad-
vocating "boy suffrage" or comforting
the elective franchise on young men at
eighteen years of age, instead of at
twenty-one years, as now. Processing
to advocate the interests of young men,
it strongly urges the policy above indi-
Gated, and glows with impatience over
the tedious waiting of the three years
wherein boys are supposed to acquire
knowledge of politics sufficient to ena-
BILE them to represent their mothers,
make laws for their sisters, and assume
places of Importance in governmental
affairs generally. Not a word is said
concerning the tedious waiting of life.

The Woman's Pavilion.

We find the following in correspond
ence to the AdUocate, which We quote
for the information and enlightenment
of those who believe that women can
not compete with men when they have
half chance-and if they have not half
a chance, will make it:
The engine that drives the printing
press in the woman's pavilion is tended
to by a young Canadian lady, Miss Alli-
son, who is as much at home with the
powerful, steaming, putting motor as if
it were nothing more than q sewing
machine. Here you will see, as in Ma
chinery Hall, ladies weaving carpets
and other fabrics. There is a pile OF
formidable looking mOlars and incisors,
all of which have been Tetraced by fe-
male dentists in Philadelphia.
A paper called the NeO Century fo7
Women is printed entire in the pavilion.
The editor, compOsitOrs, printer, are all
women. The sheet is perfect in typog-
raphy, and from literary standpoint
it is excellent and in marked contrast
with some of the Tanting, loud-man-
nered journals that have been edited by
women. l was particularly interested
in this exhibit, for 1 had long thought
that women ought to be employed more
extensively as type-setters; it is work

Here are exhibited more than sixt,
patented articles, all of them the inven
tions of women. They consist mostl!
of labOr-saving devices and articles O
convenience in what is called woman
sphere, such as cooking utensils, disl
washers, smoothing irons, etc. bu
some of them, such as the desk of Mrs
E. w. Styles of Philadelphia, or tn
building material of Miss Nolon of 81
Louis, are important inventions outsid
of the "sphere." [ have not space t
say more than that this desk is a.
unique article of furniture entirely orig
inal in design, containing excellent me
chauical ideas in it's construction, fold
ing easily, and reducing a width c

OF the ''protest meeting" on the
Fourth at Hibbs' camp-grOund, near
McMinnville, the Lafayette Courier
says: "After a sumptuous dinner, all
were again called to the stand, which
was decorated with beautiful flowers, fes-
toonings, notices and flags, displaying
the beauty and patriotism of the gentler
sex. The protest meeting being some
thing new under the sum- ELECTED no
small degree of interest and attention.
After appropriate music, the woman's
Declaration of Independence was read
by Miss V. NJ. Olds, followed by the
reading, in very earnest and decided
manner, of the protest, by Mrs. NJ. &.
Russ. After the reading, Mrs. II. "A.
Loughary, of Amity, delivered the pro-
test address, which was one of the most
interesting features of the occasion.
The ceremonies of the day closed with
short, witty, and pointed impromptu
resolutions, etc. All returned home
pleased, hoping to live to enjoy another
Centennial celebration"

The breeehing to our harness didn't

But what mines have here abounded
in the days gone by! The whole valley
has been burrowed out and turned over.
There yet remains much gold, which
coming miners will CLEAN. Already
there are cleaners here. Farther away
in the mountains many placer mines
are yet paying handsomely. Many
others are yet to be discovered. What

of the Mississippi valley could be trans
