The volume of trade is much larger
than aver before in the history of this
. country, and speculation is enormous,
in fact dangerous, according to the
opinion Of able f~nanciers at tho East.
For the week ending Saturday last,
the exchanges OFF leading cities, in
GLIDING our own, which ranks
eighteenth in the list, amounted to
the colossal sum of 81, 529. sos, 143, Of
which 1915, 455 ,667 was outside of the
city of New York.
To-day is the anniversary of the be-
ginning of great financial crisis "a
years ago, when the banks of New
York suspended specie payments, and
all the banks Of the country followed
in rapid succession.
Government bonds closed in New
York at 115l for the 4 per cents, a de
cline from 116 ten days ago; 1928 for
the AIS, a 1c decline; 99f for 5s of
August II, a decline from 1901, and
1909 for the 6s Of July l, a fall Of &c
for the same period. Tennessee State
6s are 68l.
Capital in this market is in ample
supply, and mercantile paper is dis
counted at 6 to 8 per cent,
Exchange rules steady. The banks
buy Eastern cotton bills at 50 80 to
1915 per 1000 discount, and sell
drafts on New York or Western cities
at 81 50 per 1000 premium. On New
Orleans rates are to off buying, and
par selling.
Quotations for local stocks and
bonds are as follows:

What The Man Who Was Nearly

A Baltimore correspondent of the
Indianapolis Sentinel writes:
Though | had not seen it for five

my eyes on it yesterday as | landed on
the Old Dominion wharf from the
Norfolk steamer. The straight, erect,

years before the fierce, steady, eagle

line nose as pointed as the mans
character, and his step was as light
and springy as in the years of our
youth, when he and | had tramped
the fields and waded the marshes of
Prince George county, Maryland. It
was John II. Surratt. He has not
chaugeda whit in fifteen years. Even
age failed to make its mark,
save in a steadier gait and more
mobile cOuntenance. The same set of
features that marked him when a boy
as one Of unusual determination, as
one of decisive and firm character.
makes him remarkable yet among men.
Standing five feet eleven inches, and
as straight as IN arrow, John II. Sur.
raft strikes the observer:f orcibly as a
military mar of martinez discipline.
The protrugivO development Of the
frontal bone between the eyebrows, is
indicative Of the great will power
which governed a love of adventure.
Those are the main ingredients Of the
character Of this man, who was the OBJ
ject of the concentrated persecution
OF this nation, and whose mothers

grace over this people. On inquiring

The chesapeake and Ohio System

President Huntington, of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway, is reported to have bought
the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio
road, in Texas, and to be negotiating for the
purchase of the bonds of the Texas and New
Orleans and the Louisiana Western roads, in
order to secure more links in his southern
trans continental trunk line, whose eastern
terminus is to be Newport News, where an
elevator is to be built capable of holding over
1000 900 bushels of grain.
The Cincinnati Enquirer few days ago,
spoke of Mr.. Huntington's presence in Louis
vile, and intimated that he was looking after
the Cincinnati, Louisville and Lexington rail
road, known as the Short Line road. If the
Chesapeake and Ohio get that road they will
have two roads from Huntington, West Va,
or Ashland, Ky, a few miles below Hunting
ton, all the way to Louisville, One will be by
the way of Lexington. KY, and the other by
the way of Covington and Newport, KY (di-
rectly opposite and connected by railroad
bridges with Cincinnati). Mr.. f. says his
company will certainly build the road from
Ashland, KY, down the river to Newport, by
the way of Maysville. This winter the Ken.
lucky Central road, with the main branch
running from Lexington to Cincinnati and
another running from Lexington to Maysville
changed hands and passed to the control Of
the friends of the Chesapeake and Ohio.
