of the market by an order TO prepay the call for

patches from Washington indicated that no

Yet, as tho Secretary has Obligated, the
Treasury to pay off $d0Ooo0oo oooG bonds Iso.on on
why the offer should not be male to pay those
bonds at any time with interest up to date OF pre-
gentatiOn But there is every reason why the Secre-

The stringency in money has caused a cessation OF
a mercantile demand ior bankers bills of foreign
exchange, and rates are lower. Tne cause is not
An oDerlng of bills, but lack OF demand. Com

long and short sterling respectively; 6.234 and
5.2Il4 for francs: OIL and 944 for relchsmarks;
1894 aud 40 for guilders.

railroad for the week ended Saturday, March TO-
amounted 70 69.5l0 tons against 30565 tons for
fine same week of 1882. Almost the entire gain was
IN the movement of gram. In view of the condi-
ton of the eastern grain markets and of the mod
crate export movement the large tonnage of

navigation ~ strong crcumsi antial evidence that
the railroads have offered to the large shippers
heavy rebates 10 secure the freight.
