MONEY md BUSINESS

The state Of business was less affected by
the money market last week than it had been
for several weeks preceding. Though the
bank statement shows but little gain in re-
serves, it is evident that the banks were in
much stronger position at the end of the week
than their statement indicated. From We'd
nc,lay the 9Th 10 Wednesday the 18th, the
Treasury increased its reserves otherwise
than hy receipts from the mint only
N2-3,393, but it's payments TO thcbauks on the
last three days OF the week exceeded its re-
ccipts from TIE banks by S3.3jO,127. The
redemption Of the bonds offered on Wcdncs-
day rendered the money market comparatively
easy, and il it were certain that the Treasury
would also obtain the $j,OOOOOO asked
for next wednesday, the money market would
probably work easily enough during the
rest OF the year There is some doubt
however, whether nearly all the called
bonds that can be- obtained i'm advance of the
maturity of the call hive not already been
secured by the Offer 10 pay interest withou,
rebate. 4 much more important change in the
condition of the money market, probably, has
been brought about by tho extensive liquida-
ton of-epccuIaion during the past week.

some important stocks, while ii has brought

hcalthful influence upon the money market.

which have been so confidently predicted.

greater degree than Mr.. Sherman supposes,
the tremendous advantages which the work
of EIr. Window has secured, and heartily
approves the policy of the Administration,
which recommends that the three and half
per cents be let alone. In that particu-
lar. President Arthur and Secretary Fol-
ger have shown decidedly more true states
man>hip than the members OF the Senate Com
mittee on Finance. The Republcansin Congress,
it may be presumed, cannot be united in oppo-
sition to the policy Of the Admins
tra,on. The Democrats, if they can be
brought to favor any funding bill, will give
the preference to that of Mr. Randall. Prob
ably some Of them, however, will see that the
sober sense Of the people is IN favor Of the
Presidents policy, and will join in opposing
any legislative interference with the bonds
now outstanding. The Government cannot do
better. The Republicans, at least, have no 0c-
casion to insist that the past work of the
Republican party needs patching and mend

The average weight of bales is also smaller
than it was last year, while the price is the same
per pound, so that the cotton exported during
the past four weeks was probably worth about
S25. 100000, against $3S, 100000 for the cor
responding weeks last year.
The prosperity Of a country does not DEPEND
altogether upon its exports. The domestic
trade Of the country at this time
is remarkably large, and its great III
dustries are all in a thriving condition.
Even the controversies in the transportation
business, which have brought losses to hold
ers of stocks and to owners of boats, nave
been of corresponding advantage to producers
and consumers, and if any disastrous cOnse-
quences are to result to the country they have
not yet appeared. If the crops have not
been as large this year as in some other
years, they are much larger than the
largest ever known few years ago, and the
country is too prosperous to be seriously
harmed by partial failure of crops in single
year. The excess OF speculation, possibly slim
uated by excessive supplies of money, has
done much mischief, but there are signs that,
as is usual when business is done upon
sound basis this evil is about to work out its
own curp

Judging by the frequency and intensity Of the
Bourbon walls from the Solid South, the process of
dislutcgra.ion Is going forward steadily.
4 sudden calm has fallen upon the Tillen branch
Of the Nrw-Yorl, Democracy. Their newspapers are
silent about the organization of the new Legsla-
ture, and are offering no more suggestions about
inviting the Tammany members into the regular
caucus. This is in accordance with their usual
course. They make the blundcr of trying to bull
dolc John Kelly first, and then try to smooth him
down afterwards. There is no telling what they
might accomplish If they were once able to see

They have seen business revive aud prosperity all

The chairmen of the two anti-Bourbon Com
mttees of Mississippi have issued an address setting
forth in calm and convincing array the evidence of
the frauds by which the Bourbons carried the State
in the last election They show by facts, dates and
that in thirty counties of the State the will
of the people was defeated by the most braSen and
INSCRIPTIONS fraud. The most common method
used was to reverse the poll lst-counhng the Re-
publican vote as Democratic. Other methods we're

votes on merely trivial reasons AS conclusion of
