On the Sound the running of all
the mills now in operation on only
two-thirds time is talked of and
an agreement to that effect will
be made, unless the demand for lum-
Der increases soon. The Seattle mill
has shut down for time; the lum-
Der yards in San Francisco are all
filled to the utmost limits, and the
foreign demand is very light, so that
the outlook is not favorable.

A bill recently introduced into con-
gress, primarily for the benefit of
California gold-note banks, willprove
equally effectual throughout the
Union, our own territorynot excepted.
This bill provies that gold-note
banks may become currency banks
without going into liquidation, as
would otherwise be necessary.

Our harbor was enlivened Saturday
afternoon by the presence of a new,
elegant-looking fast and powerful tug.
Boarding her to get her name and his
tory we learned that it was our old
friend the 0riole, belonging to the
coal firm of G. b. Bryan & Co. We
learned that our Memphis mechanics
had made a brand new vessel of her.
On Christmas day she was turned over
to Charles Hunter, the ship carpenter,
for repairs, and even since then until
yesterday the ship carpenter, the
foundryman and the machinest have
been at work, and the beautiful tug
we saw is the result of their labors.
A new deck, new deck timbers, new
cabin, with all the improvements, the
hull sheeted with iron to cut through
the ice, should we have it again in the
harbOr, new eccentrics, couplings, con-
nections and pipe work and powerful
pumps are some Of the improvements
and additions we noticed. The whole
job is creditable to our Memphis me-
chauics, and G. B. Bryan & Co. GER
tainly have a tug Of which they may
be proud and ON which they can rely.

Shipments of cotton East and abroad

an increased demand prevails for all
classes of feed, while the traffic in
plantation supplies is also active. The
demand for money is, however, very
light, and discount rates for all ac-
ceptable mercantile paper ranges from
SOLO per cent. The supply of cur
rency is gradually increasing and but
little discount paper is offering.
Rates of exchange are steady at
$3.50 per thousand for sight on New
