A Severe Winter in EurOpe.

New York Herald, 2lth.l
Our cable dispatches announce that
the snowfall over the British Islands,
particularly in the northern districts,
and Central Europe, is exceptionally
heavy, and that much disarrangement
has taken place in the regular traffic
by road and rail in consequence. That
this should be the case is not surpris-
ing, because the atmospheric condi-
tions which have been crossing the
Atlantic ordeveloping on the European
coasts during the present month could
not fail to cause very decided changes
of weather on the Eastern Continent,
and with them storms, rains and
SHOWS. Since the 4th of this month,
inclgsiye, the Herald weather bureau
has oabled five storm warnings TO
London for Che Information Of the
public, in each Of which predictions
of heavy snowfalls have been included.
SO for as information has reached
us by mail and by cable four of these
warnings have been strictly fulfilled,
as tbe 9Th viii be, in all probability.
With the general eastward movement
of the atmosphere and the evaporation

COMMERCIAL.
Pubic LEDeEE oEvIoE,


The past week has been exceedingly
quiet in all branches Of trade, commercial
and financial. This lull wOs in part indu-
enced by the Christmas holidays and the
cold weather frozen rivers also con-
tributing. Cotton shipments have been
checked by the difficulty of handling it,
with snow, ice and mud. Our receipts
and shipments therefore show a marked
decrease as compared with the previous
week.
The lull in general business has afforded
opportunity for banking corporations and
mercantile houses to balance their annual
accounts with a view of presenting state
ments usual at the beginning of the year.
Asfa Al as is at present reported, a fairly LUG
rative business has been enjoyed by all,and
profits, while less in volume than last
year, will enable moderate dividends to be
declared
Loanable funds are in light mercantile
demand, The best commercial paper can
be discounted at 8 per cent among the
banks, 10 per cent being the highest quota
bic rate. Loans on uneIceptionable mort
gage paper can be obtained at 6 per cent.
Several of our city banks have loanable
funds to spare in any reasonable amount,
and others are also provided with surplus
money which they desire to place in pro
ductive Investments.
Gold has been paid out in small amounts
during the past week, the same as bank
notes and greenbacks by our banks, and
servants, laborers, etc, have received it on
the same basis, for wages due. In New
York for the past two weeks gold coin and
g~reenbacks have shown no variation Of
value, except when parties offered coin fol
sale in the %gold-room. Then they werc
obliged to pay a commission, hence cur
rency is the best money in such cases. TIT
national treasury is well fortified with
supply of coin to meet all demands, and j
is not likely that gold coin and currency
will again fuctuate.
Local exchange rates continue steady
cotton bills offering largely in excess o
the demand for checks on New York, thu!

A good deal Of difference of opinion
is displayed in the New York papers
about the refusal Of the charitable
gift rendered by Mrs. A. 7. Stewart
through Judge Hilton to the Mt.
Sinai hospital, the Hebrew Orphan
Asylum, and the Hebrew Home for
the aged. If the gift had been in the
form of a check, perhaps it would
have been received, but Judge Hilton
wrote " Your treasurer can have this
money by calling on me" This 50
identified the Judge with the transac-
ton that the Hebrews felt warranted
in the opinion that they we're insulted
by an effort to bride them.

THE Secretary of the Treasury is said
to have stated the amount of silver
change now in circulation is about S43,-
100000. The amount of paper currency
in circulation before its redemption in
coin was about s45, 1000, 900. The mints are
not now coming subsidiary money and
have coined but a small amount since the
passage of the Silver act. The quantity
in circulation will not be too great if it
is redeemable on demand, The general
belief is that the country can carry S5O,.
1000 with this provision.

MORE CoRRUPTIoN.-It has been un-
earthed in Washington by the investigat-
ing committee that the national bank
notes have cost the government about S28
per 900 sheets, while the greenbacks
have cost over S74 for the same proper
ton, discrepancy which is said to be
extraordinary in view of the fact that
the work on each class of notes is almost
identical, if it is not easier and cheaper
for the greenbacks. The committee will
show to the House in their report that
the bureau retained the printing of this
paper money against outside companies
