Allegheny county, Pa. is OF the opinion that
as the Pittsburg riots were not, either in plan
or execution, merely local outbreaks, but the
result OF a widespread scheme whose meters
did not come under its jurisdiction. the reSpon-

fan upon the county alone. To be taxed four
million dollars because general conspiracy
happened 10 come TO head within the limits OF

The local money market is quiet,
currency being abundant and attain
able in any respectable amount by sol
vent borrowers able to give satisfac-
tory security at Cos per cent. Our
banks are still provided with a supply
of the governments per cents. though
their sale has ceased at Washington.
The supply on hand will enable our
bankers to fill orders for a period.
Owing to the issue being exhausted at
Washington by the redemption of all
of the BIOS of 1867 and 1868, the
value of the new As appears to be APP
preciating. 1t is thought that ar
rangements will be name by Secretary
Sherman to call in and refund about
$l97, 0 $1,000 of the 1910 5 per cent.
bonds, and thus keep the As on the
market during the ensuing summer.
These l0-4Os are the only government
securities available for refunding at
present.
Exchange has been steady since
Monday last at the rates fixed on
that day, as follows; Cotton bills
are taken for sight on New
York and demand on New England at
Ic discount. Sight bills beyond New
York 1c discount. Checks on New
York are &c premium. On New
Orleans &c discount buying and par
selling.
In local securities the movement is
quiet with a firm or upward tendency
on all except county warrants, which
are quoted stagnant at Soc. Others are

IngeQd as one looks over the mari

more respect for single women, as a
class, than for those who have married

or because wedlock is the open gate to
social independence, or simply because
they feared to be classed among he

it is because of this mental tranquility
that the elderly girl of to-day is SO
much more charming than the old
maid of the last ce8tV%, on even of
tho last generation F; whatever may be
the cause of her present winsQmeneSs,
the consequences are that her oppor-
tunitios of marrying after she is thirty
are increased tenfold beyond what
they were among women of the same
age twenty years ago. If any one
doubts this statement, even a haSty
