is $6,237, O36.5O. This, with other in

18th the usual spring flow of money
coward the east, has eased all Of the
financial markets along the Atlantic
seaboard. The downward movementin
stocks, as well as in cotton and other
articles, including grain, opium, iron,
and general commodities, recently in
a booming condition, has caused a
great shaking out of margins, and
many weak buyers have sunk their
investments entirely out of sight.
While the volume of trade is gradu-
ally shrinking here, as well as in all
other parts of the country, yet bust
ness on the whole is better now than
it was a year ago. The country is
in a healthier financial state, and capt.
tai is more abundant, at the sahie time
confidence shows decided improve
ment. At present loanable funds are
in easy reach on choice mercantile
paper at s per cent, with a tendency
toward lower figures:
Exchange rules steady, rates
being $1.25 per thousand on east
ern cotton bills bearing no grace, and
when grace is asked, $3.50 per thou
sand. Checks on New York sell at
$3.50 per thousand premium. New
Orleans rates / discount buying and
par selling.
Various speculative schemes inaug-
urated last fall and winter to make
fortunes, have come to grief, collapsed
completely, or are now in good shape
to do it before long. Among others
noted is a New York opium syndicate
who have $4,000, 900 locked upin theil
venture. Prices have dropped far be-
J low ruling figures of some time ago
and the chances T against the party
getting even in this world. A lot o.
New York ice spectators have felt Q
tumble, ice in New York having
dropped to $40 per ton, against S4.lC
some weeks ago, and the prospects
now favor an ample supply. These
with a fall offrom SO to S12 per ton il
iron, the drop in wheat and Other
leading breadstuff items, all indicate
that the boom of last winter was en-.
.irely too rapid.

For three years previous to 1880 the Eu-
reka Con. furnaces have never let their
fires die out but through the absolute ne
cessity OF making repairs, etc. They have
allowed two or more to remain idle con-
tinuously, as the figures indicate when
compared with those Of 1879. A new hue-
dust arrester, new machinery and many
improvements, when coupled with the dis
advantage Of an increasing and enormous
slag-pile over which the pots have to be
drawn by extra force; also the cutting
down Of nearly one-fourth the laboring
force-all these combine to make the show
ing, as compared with that 1879, look
rather slim. But when we add another
month, December, which will run closely
to Sl27 600 in its output Of bullion, 1t is
better. With the additional force of work.
men which 1t will be necessary to put on
at the furnaces to crowd through custom
and the mines own ores during 1881, the
prospects Of an increase Of bullion are as
sured. The mine Is said to be in excellent
shape for yielding q larger amount and a
better quality Of ore than ever before in
its history. About sixty men are constant
ly employed at the furnaces Of this com
pany now. The iue-dust is easily handled
now, and when the track for hauling out

Colonel Fair and IA Reduction
Works.

The committee from the managers Of
the proposed Carson reduction works, says
the Virginia Chronicle Of the goth, visited
Col. j. G. Fair yesterday. They laid the
scheme before him and urged the i'm
portance and feasibility OF the project;
Colonel Fair thought well OF II ana asked
for a few DAYS to give it his further con-
sideration. The committee made no Of
fort to secure subscribers on the Comstock,
although they might have disposed of large
quantities OF the stock, as the business
men showed great interest in the matter;
With Colonel Fairs name at the head OF
the list, the committee expect to do well In
Virginia. W. E. Beals gave the committee
a written agreement TO donate ioo tons y
ore m the works to make the irst run on.
The ore was assayed by James OF Gold
Hill, and ran S100 o ton in gold and SILVER
and sixty per cent lead.

sured.
At 8 o'clock A. M. to-day the box sheet
will be opened for the choice of seats at to-
nights masquerade. 1t is well to secure
them Immediately thereafter, as the house
is sure to be crowded. And we say it is
"Sure to be crowded." because we know
whereof we speak. At first it was said
upon the streets that the Social Club had
determined to charge all maskers for
entrance upon the promenading floor, but
we are authorized to say that all ladies in
masquerade costume will be admitted free.
This assurance guarantees a large attend
ance of the fair ones. In these hard times
it would be rough" for a generous gen.
tleman, who wishes to take two ladies
along to be obliged to purchase q ticket for
two or three lady friends.
Costumes are to be obtained OF Mrs.
Ssraus to-day very reasonable, and that is
the only expense, consequently we predict
that the new hall will be thronged with
every national representative.
The Club have spared nc expense to
make this bal masque the grandest affair;
they have arranged for the comfort and
pleasure of all, and when we say that Mr..
Frank Reigelhuth, Professor Plumhotf and
Wolff, with their aids, are to furnish the
music we have said enough on that score.
Promptly at 8 P. M. the Grand March
will move about the hall, and for two hours
the antics and character representations
Of the maskers will have full swing, to
prove what good actors they would make
if forced upon the stage for q livelihood.
If a person thinks he has been to the cir
Gus often enough to initiate the clown,
tonight is his time to prove hat he gave
good heed to that character. Ii the reader
of Shakespeare thinks he has got old
Hamlet's ghost down to q shadow, this
night is the one occasion wherein he can
prove to a thousand admiring eyes, his
true conception Of the vapory substance.
At IL o'clock the maskers will be called
upon to lay aside their false faces; the
spectators will be allowed to come down
and dance with Kings and Queens-or
with mokes, il they like-and after laugh
ing an hour flor an appetizer) an inter-
mission will be taken for refreshments.
Neutrality-suspicious. in costume will
be charged S. ladies, in costume, free |
spectators, male or female, $3.50 each. |
Don't miss the grandest masquerade eyer
given in Eureka, in the best and most
brilliantly lighted hall.

In running over the Book of Marriage
Records in the Auditors Office yesterday,
we noticed that during the year 1880 only
26 had been recorded in Eureka county.
Judging by the number of announcements,
marriage notices, cake and wine, etc., etc.,
which we have published and swallowed
in the twelve months passed, we should
have guessed the total number to have
been nearer 206. This is a mighty shaky
county, and we advise the young wives to
see that the "old man" has made the
'affair legal.
