At the beginning Of the present
month 81, 247, 0OO, 900 of specie and
bullion was held in the three banks
of England, France and Germany, the
associated banks of New York and the
United States treasury. This Is a
round sun of money, and the banks OF
New York with the United States
treasury held 1874, 300 900 of the
amount. The treasury holds about
$173,OOO COZ in gold, and S83,OOO,OOO
in silver, Of which s52,OCO,OOO is in
standard dollars. The banks Of France
and Germany held s343, 569,SlO in sill

$135, OOO,O9O in gold and no silver. 80
much money locked up and In idle
ness would indicate a moderately easy
state of finances in all countries, and
this is further shown by the fact that
after the bank Of Englapd's discount
rate ruling ut 81 per cent for nearly
two months, it has been reduced to
Z per cent, the same figure it has been
at this time for three years past. The
money markets ofthe eastern seaboard
including that of New York, have
ruled much less unsettled In ton'
since the agitation concerning th'
funding bill came to a close. The
S499. 319, $50 offs per cent bonds falling
due May 1st, and the s2O2,27O,55O o
IS due a month later, will go on bear
ing the same rate of interest unit
congress can settle upon some plan t.
refund them next winter. Meantim
the money markets are likely to ruI
quiet, with discount rates easy in Ne'
York at 5 to 6 per cent. Here none
is easy at 6 to 8 per cent, with a yer
light commercial and no speculative
demand.

The Emporia weekly news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1881-1889, 1881-10-27

The whiskeyites, 1t seems, are seeking
to save their bacon and ihwart the ends
of justice by threatening witnesses who
have been summoned to testify against
them with cracked skulls if they fail to
make themselves scarce at the prosecu-
tions. Whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad. The decent peo-
pie of this community, whom, we are
glad to say, are largely in excess of the
saloon bull-dozers and their sym.
pathizers, are perfectly willing
to meet the issue that is thus forced
upon them. There are more temper
ance people IN Emporia than whisky adj
vocates, and the liquor element may as
we'll be warned in time that public senti-
ment in this community will tolerate no
attempt at personal violence, the firstex-
hibition of which on the part of
those who defy the law
win evoke tempest of right
Gus Indignation which nothing but the
last measure of faulty would invite. 1t
must be born in mind by the men who
are alleged to have covenanted together
to defeat the prosecutions now pending
against the prohibltory law in this
city that Emporia and Leavenworth are
two different cities. The people of this
