The business Of the banks during the past week
has accurately reflected The condition Of affairs in
the city and the country. In the city, trade OF all
Kinds has been dnll and the counter transactions
have shown corresponding dimlnution. In the
country harvesting Of the wheat crop has begun,
and The need for currency to pay of the hands, and
the obligation resting the country banks to carry
the country merchants while their customers are
busy in The fe.ds. has created demand for loans
and currency which has been the principal feature
Of the business OF the Chicago banks during the
past week.
The bank failures at st. Louis have led to con-
siderable orders OF currency from Chicago to St.
LOUIS the banks o the latter city desiring to fortf
themselves against any possible trouble.
The supply OF negotiable paper was small. Rates
OF discount were 8D10 per cent at the banks to
regular customers; outside borrowers can obtain q.
- per cent on call and upwards.

50Gl75c per 81, 600 premium.

Ulysses Grant was the guest Of Victoria OF
England this week at Windsor Castle, and was
given rooms next adjoining the Royal sleeping
apartments. The Queen was much surprised at
hearing him ring the bell violently at about 1
o'clock In the morning, and still further startled
when the Royal housc1naid woke her up and
asked her for the keys Of the cellar. Tho General
sent his compliments, and couldn't sleep without
a gooa. still toduy: ami il they had any mint he
would he glad of it. To show what a perfect
lady the Queen is, she rot right up and put on
her slippers and a wrapper, and went down into
the kitchen herself, where she mixed the ex-
President a bowl OF old Jamaica punch from
some splendid rum that had Just been sent to
the Prince of Wales. With 4 delicate apprccia-
tion Of the Generals habits, she also placed
pack Of cards on the tray, and apoogized in
pencil note ior their being little dirty. Gen.
Grant says OF all the kind compliments which
he has received in England this touched him
most deeply in the right spot Hc thanked her
Majesty in the name Of the American rutfon the
following morning, stating that he accepted her
compliment not Us directed personally to him
