officers as are needed for the navy, and

The Gurneyite Friends are holding their
yearly meeting at thistimc in Mt. Pleasant

Rev. Douglas, in his usual prCpOssessinl
manner, offered one OF the most serioui
and emotional prayers | ever heard in be

President, James A. Garfield. Thepeople
perhaps more than a thousand, were in {
suitable frame OF mind to be deeply affected
at the time, on account Of sympathetic re

Such sublime solemnity as pervaded thu
Ohio yearly meeting that day has seldom, |

Borrowers money found little comfort in thus
of the Treasury Department. Practically tDe DECISION
of Secretary Sherman added not dollar 20 the re-
sources of the banks as the Sub-TreasuTy, was not
authorized to redeem the bonds The necessary uelay
in sending the bonds to Washington, where they Will
be examined and in receiving checks in payment OF
them makes it impossible that any practical reheI
from this source should be felt in this market before
tomorrow. But the moral effect of the ANNOUNCE
nent was very great In the stock market. Inc
action of the Department interpreted to lncate
disposition to use the available resources OF the
Government in efforts to cOunteract the results OF
the action of the National banks
It was also announced, but only in seIni-oifcial
way that the Secretary would adopt other meas
ures to relieve the money market II this oier lmme
diately to redeem the called bonds did not nave the
desired effect. Although rates of money stead
lily advanced even beyond the close Oh business tne
influence Of the Secretarys announcement was Iel5
to the close and prices of stocks were malntalhed
without great change. The market closed generaily
very near the opening figures -,
Officers of National banks In this city sald
that the Secretary had simply given 10
some of the banks the to retire their clrcu-
lation without disturbing their own funds vi Ine
800 900 bonds recently called in it is SAID that
between IS 900 600 and SO. 600 900 are held TO Sc

sum is held can now order the bonds redeemed ana
the money deposited to fetire their circulation B9t
even then the immediate redemption OF the D%onus %
