MONEY MATTERS.

The continued influx of gold from Eu-
rope is one of the causes which so happily
effects the southern states at this time.
Money is becoming so plentiful in this
country that capital is seeking investments
that will pay certain per cent. Hence,
railroad bonds are in demand, and all the
roads projected and building i'll the south
find it an easy matter To procure the money
needed, provided capitalists are assured
that theirinvestments are safe. Should this
state of affairs last for five years il will
make wonderful change III the south,
Cities will be built up, lands now vacant
will be occupied, mineral deposits will be
developed, property Of all kinds will be
enhanced in value, and wealth and pros
petty will swiftly follow.
Money in all the great cities is becoming
eaaier, although the rates of discount have
cities money is worth per cent. on short
time paper while in eastern cities it COM
mands from to Gper cent.

try number IS, and have paid out an aggre-
gate of $3.50, 0lG, of which the five compa-
