Money at the Stock Exchange ruled frm at per
cent and from that interest and ls per cent per
diem, all the week, although on some days, after
accounts were made UP, there much seeming
enthusiasm over the fact that money offered at
8 and per cent to market that wanted none until
the next day. The immediate future Of tho money
market is a source of little anxiety TO specula-
tors. The Treasury yesterday commenced the pay
nent Of 81 600 900 interest on the per cents,
and there is little question that the 81 900, 900 of
3l2per cents offered TO bo redeemed this week will
be promptly presented at the Sub-freasury to-mor-
row. Here certainly is So 900 900 of disbursements
TO be made by the Treasury within the next few
days. Experience however, has shown that the
bulk of the money paid out for interest requires
some time to work its way from the pockets OF the
receivers it, through the retail dealers of all kinds
back to the channels that furnish loanabe capital

The banks now hold -$3,929,100 in specie and
legal-tenders less than they held at this date last
year. The loans are $21, ,173,sO0 greater than
they were then, and the deposits are $12 9OG, 700
greater. The consequence is that the re-
qured by the % per cent rule is So 226 go
than was required year ago, and hence the deficit
now is $2,756,025 against surplus then of

Garfield and the Negro.

WASHINGTON, March 24.--
There is to be a compromise be-
tween tho administration and the
negro. The demand for equal
recognition with that accorded to
white Republicans will not be
granted, but in every Southern
State a few leading negroes will be
appointed to office. This will an
pear to the mass of colorcd voters
as a beginning of the reform they
ask. l; will appcase the leaders
and induce them to pacify all dis
satisfaction as far as they can. 1t
is the best that could Ee done for
the negro, and he seems sa isfied
with it.
Bruce, of Mississippi, will have
some good department position
here or his pick Of the places in
his own State. l>inchback, of
Louisiana, will be cared for.
Elliott, ofSouth Carolina, is named
Tor prominent position. Ra,ney,
OF the same State, has already
been put to rest in the revenue
service. Two or three leading
North Carolina negroes are on
:he programme. Witi,crspoon, in
Florida, and the colored ex-Con-
gresham in Alabama, will not beg
in vain
In Georgia, Pledger, the smart
young negro who pre- idcs over
the State Republican committee,
will have a desirable appointment.
Madison Davis, Of Athens. one of
the most influential spirits among
the Georgia negroes, is also ia
voritc. Both the DeVaux boys
are already provided for and will
be retained where they are or
promoted. One Of them holds a
good place in tho Savannah Gus
tom house, but has his eyes fixed
on the post office Of that city.
Old Tunis Campbell, who sat side
by side with Alpeoria Bradley in
the Georgia Senate, is snugly fixed
in a department clerkship.
The stream of immigration is beginning
to flow still more freely. Seven more
famiics including sixteen adults and twenty
nino persons ull told, will arrive in Colum
bia Tomorrow, making the totul arrivals
OF this week seventy y-four. All who have
come have beon speedily employed. some
going TO York county, others to Oconee,
ond fow to Hampton, the latter being
engaged to work IT, s,w mills. The Nc,os
and Courier correspondent at CoIumbia
Gays the negroes there alrendy look at tho
sturdy Immigrants with unfriendly oyo, ro-
gard'Dg them as threatening competition
IN labor and an unpleasant increase Of
the Democratic vote.

THE CorToN BULLS AND BEARs.--A
Neg YORK letter Of Monday, 21st instant
says: "Tbcre was disappointment to the

tho market and broke it l0a4 points. From
tho decline there was quick rally, end
then another bear attack, sending priees~
down about 20 points in oil. The fight is
o sharp one, and though tho covering on
Friday and Saturday vas heavy, it is evi.
dent there is still very large short interest
outstanding, good part of which belongs
to Southern account This interest has
been more opposed to covering than tho
local interest has been. All eyes are now
turned to the weather and prospects for
planting. II these are good the bcurs say
they will break cotton to 10 cents, as the
next crop will reach 1000, 900, while the
bulls, on the other hand, are satisfied. no

The Monroe Doctrine Not Related to tho
Panama Canal Scheme.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Mr. Thompson
continued this morning his argument be-
fore the committee Oh foreign affairs
against the application Of the Monroe doc
trine to the Panama canal project.
He cited Mr.. Clay's Interpretation OF
that doctrine while he was secretary
of state under President 3llams- who HIM
self had been President Monroe's secretary
of state. That Interpretation being. first
that the American continents are not sub
iect for future colonization by any
European powers, and, second. that
whilst We do not desire to inter-
ferc in Europe with the political sys-
tenn of the allied powers, we should
regard as dangerous to our peace and
safety any attempl on their part to extend
their system to any position of this
hemisphere. This was contained in
instructions to Mr.. Poisett, the United
States minister to Mexico in 1925.
Mr.. Thompson argued that the whole doc
trine eliminated in tho declaration that
the independence Of the South American
states was to be preserved and that there
should be no attempt on the part OF any
European power Or government to inter-
fere with their right of self-government-
their right to manage their own affairs in
their own way.
