The obligations of the General Govern
ment maturing during the first hat Of
the year will reach about $70,OoO,O00
and If a funding bond 10 authorized
which can be readily marketed II is
plain that there must follow very large
displacement Of money that has been
permanently invested for q long series
Of years. No doubt many institutions,
estates and individual investors will ac-
eept either one of the two classes Of
bonds proposed, but there will be found
TO be many Of the last. mentioned class
who will net he content 10 accept either
8 or 81 per cent. fer their money, and
it is argued by numerous finaneiers that
these individual investors will seek the
Stock Exchange, and from the list OF
railway stocks and bonds will select Sc
curIties that will render a larger return
on their capital than the Government
can offer under any funding bill that
will pass both Houses Of Congress-
World.

DELAwARE LADY's HOSPITALITY.
The "Society" column of the PhIla-
delphia Sunday Times, has the following
paragraph. The lady named is one OF
Wilm'ngton's absent daughters:
On Thursday night Mrs. J. No rris
Robinson gave an evening reception re-
markable for the beauty of its enter
tainment and the brilliant decoration
Of her rooms. They we're literally bur
densd with the flowers that filled every
spare nook and, quantity arranged IN
devices and lettering, hung In rich pro-
fusion FROM the walls. Everything else
was in the same lavish aud beautiful
scale and the rooms we're crowded all
evening, the entertainment being given
for Miss May Robinson, debutante Of
this season.
A Western paper wonders II Mrs.
Garfield will emulate the example Of
all ladies time out Of mind and declare
that the White House is the worst-look-
ing b ,use she ever saw, and insnuate
that that Hayes womaD wasn't much ei
house-kesper anyway.

LEGISLATION FOR THE CITY.-The
Legislature has always been very care
full of it's legislation for Wilmington.
1t has rarely, if ever, done anything
that looked like party favoritism; and
it will hardly do so now. The legisla-
ii on that is asked for by the City
Council is not to favor either party. 1t is
deemed necessary by those asking for
it in order that the city may be more
easily and economically managed; and
we hope to this extent the Legislature
will pass the bills Council have petit
toned for. So far as the question oi
interests in water rights are concerned
there cannot be any great need fol-
legislation. Such legislation that dis
trrbs private rights must be very care
fully considered, even when necessary
but we can see no necessity for dis
turbing the water rights on the Bran
dywine. The city does not need then
and ought not to buy them. When !
does need them it will be more likel
to get them at a fair price tina
through such commission as migf
fix the price under such an enactmer
as that asked of the Legislature. W

THE WEEK IN BUSINESS CIR
CLES.

There has been very general i'm
provement In values In all departments
of the Stock Exchange since this day
week, with increased activity and mark
ed buoyancy towards the close. The
continued growth of confidence In
higher range of prices of stocks and
bonds has tor its basis several reasons
VIII ich seem at the present writing to be
conclusive. The month OF January
| closed with much better record OF
railroad traffic than was generally ex-
| pected, for while here and there earn
ings showed tallng-on in consequence
| OF great snoH-storms which almost
| blockaded some of the roads, majority
OF the traffic returns were marked by
gains over the large business of the rail-
roads in January, 1880. From this j
is reasoned that if the roads could do 81
we'll under Gil chcumstances so adverse
they can certainly do mnch better dur
ing the spring months when no such OBJ
structons to travel will exist, when til,
remaining surplus products OF the sol
will in all probability be moved NOR
freely from the interior cities to Tia
seaboard for export to Europe, and whe
there will be a large distribution {
merchandise from the Atlantic cities
