A FINANCIAL FURRY IN
LONDON.

The Bank of England has advanced
its rate of discount to six per cent.
The decline in exchange here. owing to
the scarcity of cash gold, would bring
gold from London, where money is SO
cheap, instantly. Hence the Directors
of the Bank of England have advanced
the rate of discount so as to counterfeit
the expectation of gold to this country.
Gold has shown considerable huctuation
to-day. opening at lOI 3-8 and declin-
ing to lOl l-9 before noon. This is
owing largely to the scarcity of gold,
consequent on the payment to the gov
eminent by the Syndicate. The ad-
vance in gold will have the effect. on
this side. of causing decline in bread
stuffs and provisions. Private advices
received by bankers in this city from
London show that there is feeling Of
Insecurity there, consequent on the
Glasgow Bank and subsequent failures
and large crop of failures may be look
ed for, unless conservative influences
allay the current uneasIness. Erchonge

efforts to save property. The ground
over which the fire spread is 80 miles
square, and scarcely anything remains
to show where the farms stood. All is
a black, desolate area. The farmers lost
their horses, oxen, sheep, hay. wheat
wagons, farm machinery, barns, houses,
granaries, and. in fact, everything but
their lives. On Tuesday the fire swept
to the east and south of Benson, taking
everything in its way, and repeated the
devastation wrought in the West. The
cause of the unusual destructiveness of
the prairie fire is the rank growth of
the prairie grass.

BUSINESS REvIvING.-In the last two
weeks we have run across several busy
manufacturers in our State, as we'll as
others whose business often takes them
on the road. Without exception they
speak of the business situation as offer
ing much encouragement. Said one of
the most successful manufacturers in the
State to US yesterday, There has been
marked improvement in business in
the last few weeks. Coolers are coming
in from the West and Pennsylvania
much better than for long time. and
our correspondents speak of the situa-
ton in very hopeful TERMS Another
manufacturer said, 1--WE are getting a
growing trade with Canada, and our
export trade is also increasing" Said
another gentleman. much on the road
81 hear but one report and that is that
business is reviving." All these gentle
men are pronounced hard-money men,
and they are very emphatic in the ex.
preston of the opinion that We should
let well enough alone Telegraph.

Some of the blessings of fat money
are enjoyed by the people of Buenos
Ayres. There is a six-column paper,
called the BuenOs Ayres Herald, of
which the subscription price is put at
the low rate of thirty dollars month,
paper currency; that is, about dollar
q number. The subscription to paper
of the same size here, would be about
seventy five cents a month. The ad-
vertisements, too. will be found edify-
ing reading by soft-money men. The
clothing house of Grand st. Martin ad-
vertises suits Of clothing for 800. An
other house offers to sell children's suits
at prices ranging from $3.50 upwards,
and still another firm advertises new
line of choice cravats at 500 each. II
seems, from the market reports of this
journal, that gold dollar at that time
was worth $3l.95 in paper.

SENATOR MORRILL, SELECTED,

Justin S. Morrill, was chosen United
States Senator on Tuesday last, by the
almost unanimous vote of the Republi-
cans of the legislature, Judge Poland,
his rival, having withdrawn from the
contest on the proceeding day. The
result was not a surprise to those who
deemed Judge Poland the most fit for
the emergency. Senator Morrill, had a
very strong hold on the esteem of the
people, and he had personally made an
exceedingly vigorous and effectual can
vass in his own behalf. Mr.. Morrilrs
reputation is excellent, and his opinions
in congress will command respect even
among his political opponents, and we
trust that his strength and vitality will
be sufficient for the labors before him.

spread with great rapidity and swept
down toward Benson at frightful rate.

giving the residents Of that town serious

the track Of the flames. and they were
swept of all combustible material. many
