It seems that gold Is being shipped from Eu-

prise our venerable friend John Bull. On this

The week closes on q very active business at tho
Chicago banks. For the last two days currency
orders from Minnesota especially, and the other
wheat producing districts in the Northwest,
yero large in number and satisfactory In
amounts. Some shipments Of gold were made,
as currency Is becoming scarce. The greater
activity fs accepted with pleasure as It gives
employment for part OF the tremendous ac-.
cumulaion Of funds in the vaults Of the banks,
whicl, have been lying Idle for months past. Not
word has as yet been said OF any stringency
in the money market: Tho banks have anu are
likely to have ready funds to discount nll the
good paper that country or city customers may
huye to offer. City depositors show more activ-
ity and have ia1ger wants. which are also cheer
fully supplied. Tic market under these I'M
proved demands Is becoming somewhat closer'
but unythtng like strin1ency, not to say even a
close money market, is not expected during the
present business season.
Rates Of discount for time paper are still uni
form at COS per cent, with as the usual figure.
Demand loans as n rule can only be had OF the
large stock and provision banks Tho rate Is 40
5per cent

report that the bank clearings were sS,0O0,oo on

upon those poists for themselves Anu
now the Supreme Judicial Court Is 10 oec'ue
which two OF the four bodies constitute the
LEGISLATURE OF Maine. Thai court Is IN
partisan, as Is shown by its recent
opinions on the points submitted 10 ny
Governor q ARcELos. II has but one Demo-
crat In lis composition. SO 1t may be saie'y
assumed that it will decide as MIR. BLAINE
would have IL decide. The Constitution OF
Maine allows that court 10 be made
sort OF moot court, that instrument
proyidng that important questions may
he submitted TO il by the Governor
and Council, and also, we take 1t,
by the Legislature. How this provision can
safely coexist with the one making each
house the sole Judge as to the elections and
qualifications Of its members we are not
able to say or, rather, we might better say
that the one provision has cut the throat OF
the other, seeing that but for the provision
in regard to submitting questions TO the SUI
preme Judicial Court there would have
been no trouble as TO the constitution
atty OF the Democratic Legislature or
ganized last week. and all the trou'
bes would have been over before
now. We suppose we shall hear no more
about the writ of quo ,oarrdntO in connec'
ton with those troubles; but we must con-
fess that the use OF that writ to unsea'
members OF the Legislature would have
been no more dangerous an exercise OF
power than the use for that purpose OF
power which was granted for az object en-
tirely different.
