them to three l. The amount of money
 really unused at any time in London Is very
 small, being estimated by a very competent
 observer to be not more than 94, GOO, OOO
 This estimate was made ten years ago, and 1t
 is probably less today, because the banks
 are employing the same amount in discounts
 and advances at the later date as at the
 earlier, while their resources are less by near ly @, ,OOO, GOO. ?. There has been a great diminution in the number of commercial
 bills in circulation, as the returns of the stamps clearly show. The reason of this is doubtless due to the increased facilities for cash transactions through telegraphiG trans fers, a low rate of money, etc, and in the absence of first class commercial paper, loans for shorter or longer periods have been re sorted to, though on these money cannot be as easily realized as on commercial paper. 3. The Bank of England is no longer the great discounter of commercial paper which it used to be- and it is less able to exercise its former distinct control ''The want of this power is sometimes very inconvenient to 1t, and even dangerous to the interests of busl- ness. The Bank of England holds the ulti- mate specie reserve of the country But when, as has frequently occurred, demand for specie for export falls upon the bank and it has to raise it's rate to retain it, the outer market does not respond. The bank sees its specie reserve slipping away, and is nearly powerless to prevent it." The control of the bank over the market has been weakened on account of the small amounts of its dis counts, and because of the large number of banks, some of them yielding even larger resources. For these reasons the variations in the market promise to be more rapid than they used to be.

A Plea for the Nose Ring.

The last number of the National Indian As sociations Journal contains curious com munication from the pen of Hamid Ali, enti- tied "A Plea for the Nose Ring" This or nament, called in India the ruth, " is coul- mended by the learned writer as a most charming ornament, adding much to the at fractions of the ladies, who now wear 1t in a great many parts of India. The ring Is de- scribed as being made of gold or silver. ac- cording to the means of the wesrer, and measuring nearly four inches in circum- ference. It has one or two pearls strung upon it, and is fixed in this manner on the nose : One end of the metal is passed through a hole bored inside about the middle of the right nostril of the nose, and Is then inserted into a small cavity in the other end of the metal destined to receive it. It is the exclusive privilege of married wo- men to wear this decoration. but single ladies console themselves by wearing an inferior substitute for it about one-third of the size. If the ring is lost the hole in the nostril is apt to close up; and the young ladies whose rings are misiaid have way of putting dried grass into the aperture to keep 1t open. The boring of the nostrl generally takes place when the girl is about five or six years old. A company assemblies and sweetmests are distributed, the patient receiving the Hons share, and being encouraged by well meant comments on the part of the spectators. The ''nuth" was originally purely Hindoo orna- ment, but is now worn by Mahometans also, especially in the Northwestern provinces. ''it gives" as Hamid Ali contends, ''such an elegance and charm to the face, as 1t hangs from the nose and kisses the lips, as cannot be secured in any other way. And, to do it full justice, it makes the face look much more beautiful and attractive than pound of powder and full hours making up Of the eyes and the hair of the toilet of some Eng lish ladies could possibly do. leaving the waste of time and money in the latter case out of the question"
