Little or no fluctuations are report
edin the local money market. The
supply of capital is liberal, and per-
! sons in want of money can get it with
out trouble, ifthey have anything Of
value to offer as security, Interest
rates are 6 to 10 per cent, with 8 per
cent. as the current charge among
banking aud other institutions.
Exchange is steady at $1,25 per
thousand on eastern cotton bills,
where no grace is required, and $3.50
where it is. New York checks sell
at tc premium. New Or
leans rates quiet at tc
off buying and par selling. By re-
cent calculations IT is estimated that
four thousand millions of exchange
on the eastern money markets is an
nually drawn by the west and south,
and in addition there is a large vol
anne of exchange drawn between the
hanks of various western cities. Three
fourths of the eastern exchange is
drawn on the city Of New York.
Under the old state and other bank
ing systems in vogue before the war
exchange rated from l to II per cent
discount. Between those and pres
ent rates the difference on the entire
volume would exceed $6O,0OO,OOO an
nually. A 1yOcates Of the present
currency syste. q allude to this feature
as one of the sti 'opgest arguments in
favor of adhering to- the system under
which we now work.

A considerable stir in the financial
circles of central Europe has been
c.NuSed by a $4,000 shortness Of &C.
cou 'ntS, with the cashier of the Vienna
hous Q Of Rotbschilds. The man was
a bachelor, received 50, 1000 per annum,
was fru. Sal, quiet and free from vices
of all kin DIS, but he got to specializing
on the sly and finally went SO far that
he trapped himself. He had worked
for the house during the past 16 years.
Such a thing would be a small matter
in this region, even for a local insuf.
ance company, but over the ocean they
look upon affairs of that sort In a diff:

cjsion whatever 1t may have been, OF
course is null and void, which necessi.

must be done and that quickly is eyi
