"AfH ~ N1eNAN
Last year, between January LIST aud
the end of August, this country had
imported from Europe S31 ,697 in
specie. This season for the same
period our imports have been but
$2,365,2l5. The receipts at New York
for the first three weeks Of the present
month was 81, O99, 1913, against $ll $685.,
94l for the same time last year.
The U. s. treasury at Washington
at present holds $3.50, 1893, $50 in ma
.tional bonds to secure national bank
notes. They are divided as follows:
31s, 1928, 4S8, $50; As, $1Ol, 483, $50;
AIS, $50, 57S $50; 5s, s65, 900; Is, 49,:
1885, 900.
Business in a financial way is exceed
ingly quiet at the present time, and
while bankers talk Of a close tone, with
prospects of Stringency in the autumn,
yet no real change can occur until
after the incoming cotton crop begins
to move. Meantime capital is gener-
ally we'll employed in commercial
paper, the volume Of which is consid-
cradle in all Of our money lending in
situations, and it is net expected that
money will be more abundant than
new during the next two months. The
rate of mercantile discounts is quoted
firm at 8 per cent, at which figure it
has ruled unchanged since April last.
Exchange offers in light volume and
Eastern is taken by the banks at par
without grace, or at 81 25 discount per
thousand when the usual three days is
requested on points beyond New
York. Bankers sell New York drafts
at to premium. On New Orleans
rates are par selling and to off buying.

Farmer Brown,s ROmance.

Chicago Tribune.
"Good-by, papa
, The plump, white arms of Erica
Brown were thrown about her fathers
neck, and the pretty face with its RANT
mouth and cunning dimp'es was
pressed closely to the bronzed cheek
of the farmer as he stood in the kitch.
en- doorway a moment before going
out to his daily toll.
Il am going to pillow the south
meadow this morning, my. darling"
he said to the girl, land VIXEN noon
comes you must have my accounts as
treasurerofth the church all arranged, be-
cause the building committee will be
here after dinner, and | am to turn
over the money in my hands so that
the erection of the new church in the
little dell just beyond where we buried
the mouse colored heifer two years ago
last spring, can be commenced at once
and, kissing his daughter again,
Farmer Brown took a bite Of hard
tobacco and went away into the glad
Suallgnt; \
The petals of the June roses had
fallen like a pink carpet along the
edge OF the woods, contrasting bret.
tily with the vivid green of the grass
and leaves. Above the hum Of in.
sects and the twittering Of the birds
rose the sturdy voice of Farmer
Brown, swearing at the off mule.
I"Get up, darn it, he said, but the
mule only waved its ears in a sensu-
Gus, languid fashion, aud looked visit.
fully into the next meadow where
the starry eyed kline were grazing, and
the old sorrel mare that had a splint
on her near front leg was quaffing the
incense of the new born day. Pick
ing up a stick the farmer advanced
and struck the mule a cruel blow
just abaft his midship ribs. Stretch
ing out his hind legs in a dreamy,
l~istless way, the mule felt them touch
something, and in a moment Farmer
Brown was sailing in the far blue
overhead.
The little church in the messy dell
is not completed yet, and the building
committee is anxiously waiting for the
treasurer to come down.

Case Of COLIlugWOOd HnlIeft.

The case of COllingwood Hallett, who

murder of James II. Deputy, was con-
cluded on Monday niSut. Ihe day was
spent in arguments by counsel; MAJOR
Lohaud opening in the lrorAing TOR the
defence He was follow sd by States
Attorney Gray, who made an able ana
co ,vinClng argument tor the prosecu
ton. The Jury were charged by tho
Chief Justice, who stated that but little
weight should be placed on the testl-
mony of Anna Daniels, the principal
witness for the defence, as her testi'
mony was Inconsistent, and her charac-
ter stood impeached. The charge,
which was lengthy, and bore heavily
on the prisoner, was concluded at 10
p. m, and the jury retired. At $50
o'clock they returned, and after the
usual formalities rendered verdict OF
guilty Of murder in the tirSI degree.
Haliett seemed much surprised when
the sheriff approached Linn and told
him to cheer up, he replied : "Don't t
trouble yourself, for I'm not a dead
man yet by id sight"
Hallett did not rest any during Mon.
day night, but paced his cell, tearing
his clothing and acting in a manner
that betokened insanity. He was talk.
Ell into Court again yesterday morning,
when his actions were of such nature
that the Court deferred sentence, and
ordered that jury OF twelve men be
summoned, and medical examination
made, to determine his mental COndi-
ton. The Court yhen adjourned until
