Little Change in the Monetary Situation
Bankers Still Counting Rates Firm at s
Per Cent.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 16.
Locally, business still runs quietly. The de-
maud for money is excellent. Banks are eau
tious loaners, and 8 per cent. IS freely paid.
The outlook for the winter has discouraging as
well as bright features. Between this and the
new year the number of failures will probably
increase, and in the face of annual settlements
we cannot expect much rise in prices. Once
past this point, we can see no reason, beyond
the uncertainty regarding the action Congress
may take on various trade measures, why prices
should not materially advance.
Eastern exchange IS in better supply, and is
difficult to sell at a premium.

provision Markets.
INDIANAPOLIS Nov. l6.
The cooler weather is evidently improving
trade somewhat. Prices keep generally steady,
and are firm. Wholesale men are in fine trim for
any revival OF business which il probable in The
near future. Grocers have for some days past
been experiencing a good trade, and in certain
tines OF goods country merchants are taking
hold quite freely. Sugars are still in light de-
mand. Prices unsteady. 1t is probable that
production viii be reduced within the next few
weeks, as it is reported that some of the refine
ries will shut down. Coffee continues firm and
a good deal excited, with the bull element still
u the ascendency, but conservative operators
are beginning TO be impressed with The belief
that the reduced crop has been pretty well dis
counted. II is worthy o. mention that while the
market is strong, fair cargoes have not varied
much for over a week, and this Is considered by

some operators as an indication of weakness.
Corn syrups trmer, in sympathy with corn, and
hlgher prices are looked for shortly. Canned
goods dull, with no recent change in prices.
Produce men are reasonably busy. The local
demand for eggs is a little slow. So high are
prices that consumers are curtailing their use,
The Eastern demand is stIll large. Choice
brands of creamery butter held with a good deal
or nrinnesS, and there is an increased demand
for nice sweet dairy and country roll, owing TO
the enhanced cost of creamery, but poor stock is
very dull. Fine cheese in fair request at prices
quoted. There is an increased inquiry for green
apples, but the supply being large prevents any
Improvement In price. Potatoes continue to
come forward freely, and with au over supply
the market is duh, even for good stock. Dressed
poultry and game more sought after, and fresh
receipts IN good condition are held with more
confidence, but as yet prices are no better.
Beans dull, and, as will be noted, we have again
reduced our quotations.

The hearty endorsement Of The REG

feeling Of jealousy among few FOSSIL
lied journals. THE REGIsTER is sorry,
indeed, that such feeling should exist,
as the aim of the paper is to please the
people, and because success has attended
the efforts of hard work, some journals
seem to be eating sour grapes. 1t might
be stated right here that last Sundays

some consolation to them to learn that
the edition to-day is larger than that OF

An expedition has been organized in

apply that amount of money, which

rather far back into ME centuries for

siderad that, if vestige Of them re-
manned, it is at the bottom Of the sea.

ANOTHER SERIOUS DEFECT n TEE
rARIRP.

British gold, long oonsidereda power.
fol element in our tariff laws, has at last
been dethroned, its place having been
taken by the British pauper. Both are
on the free list, having shown them
selves too elusive thus far to come un-
der any classification In our revenue
laws. The result in the first instance
was that gold bearing the image and
superseription Of the Queen could come
into this country, where 1t Immediately
became available for buying anything,
from bale of cotton to q statesman.
The danger from British gold is now
over, but that from the British pauper
remains. $50
The sudden and wholesale importa-
ton of this new commodity at every
important port reveals another defect
in the new tariff schedule. No sooner
had the bill been signed by the Presi-
dent than it was discovered that no tax
had been levied on foreign weather pre-
dictiOns, and the result was that pau
PER weather prophet OF Canada had free
access 10 this country for the purpose OF
creating panic. When eggs began to
come in from Europe, and it was found
that they were on the free list, another
serious omission in the new tariff was
revealed and pointed out. Our weather
prophets and our hens were thus de-
prived of their rightful share OF protec-
ton, and two great industries were left
to go into premature decline.
Now it is brought to light that pau
pers are on the free list. This omission
is doubtless due to the haste Of making
up tariff schedule in conference COM
mittee upon which no representative Of
our own native paupers had a place.
The iron industry had two or three
members on the committee devoted to
its interest, while cotton, wool, silk, po-
tatoes and hemp each had one man
specially devoted TO the protection of
the growth Of al, these products, on
which discriminating duty was levied
on the cheap like productions of other
countries. Still the pauper was left on
the free list.
II cannot be denied that this is I'M
Just. 1t has been demonstrated during
more than a century Of national exist
ence that We can produce enough pau
pers, of fairly satisfactory quality, to
meet the demands of our own poor
houses. \ system which developed
PHIPPS and Tewksbury cannot be
truthfully charged with failure, and yet
when we have reached this high degree
If development We find ourselves con-
fIonted by a wholesale competition
with the older but cheap paupsrs Of
Europe. 1t is all wrong.

CURIOUS CkInINAI.

California has developed criminal
leg pardon, gentleman in misfortune
who knocks every self.confessant
thief that we ever heard of, cold. This
is Mr.. DODs, City Treasurer of Oakland,
who Quilted the treasury for $1,000, and
was arrested the next Sunday at prayer
in his church. Mr.. DODS says it is all
right. He expected it; he wants moth
ing; he wants no trial, no lawyers, no
courts, no anything. GAN want, gen.
tlemen," he said to his bondsmen, "is
to 60 right off to-day-right now-and
put Oh the clothes of repentance and
work out the work of contriteness and
humiliation" Mr.. DoDS is a curious
makeup. From his quickness to recog-
nize the consequences of his crime, one
might imagine that he came from New
Jersey. But from the humble way he
begs for his striped clothes and longs to
enter upon his penance, It is clearer still
that he never knew BOB INGERS0LL or
heard of his wonderful power over a
Star Route jury.

The CHOLERA PEST.

The spread of Asiatic or malignant
cholera in and about Damietta may
we'll give rise to sirious forbodings in
both Europe and America, for expert
enee has shown modern rapid trans
portation, both Of persons and goods,
has proved ready means of transit
whereon the plague travels westward.
British commercial interests, as has
been pointed out, requires the moral
degradation of the Chinese nation BY
forcing opium upon it at the lannon's
mouth, and the same interests have car
ried cholera throughout Europe and
America, and may do so again. Let
but quarantine be spoken of and the
British commercial interests at once
are touched, and a great unanimous
vail rises from the Threats of shippers,
merchants, bankers and other members
of the British Plutocrscy whose callous
hearts can be touched only by threat
ening their pockets Herein lies the
real difficulty. The cholera can be
stopped where it las started, in DaWiet-
Ia, Port said and vicinity, but these
towns are in the direct line of Indo-
European traffic and the merchants
are certain TO resist the quarantine in
every possible way and eyade it when
opportunity offers, besides which, ii is
well known that officials are not al
ways above bribery or l,xness and new
er wholly insensible to the demands of
those interests which, rs British agents,
they are accustomed to regard Is SUI
preme.
Here, then, lies the difficulty. Cholera
is not a mysterious disp> usstion OF
Providence, nor does it fly upon the
winds. 1t moves by natural agencies,i in
channels well aseertsined and 10y means
in part or wholly preventsble. 1t orig
inally comes, in almost every instance,

one, from the delta of the Ganges. 1t

tamination of water and food with
