An Odd State Of FINANCES.

The commercial relations between FL
Paso, Texas, and the Mexican town, III
Paso del Norte, Just across the river,
threaten to be seriously disturbed. A
Mexican dollar is valued az eighty-tive
cents in American coin. Our neigh
bors, not liking the depreciation of their
national coin, resolved to depreciate
ours. Their Board of Trade solemnlv
decided that American silver dollars
should be deprecated thirty cents, or
pass current for eighty-Gve cents in
Mexican silver. The Mexican Board OF
Trade saw the folly OF their financial
scheme when it was put to the test by
one Of the conductors on the street car
line that connects the rival cities One
morning he started from the American
side with q Mexican silver dollar On
arriving on tho other side lie took q
drink Of their native thanksgiving

oiven an American dollar in change.
He took a drink of equally bad whisky

A Bangor dispatch says: "As before an
nounced, F. Shaw & Bros have made their
creditors an offer of 40 per cent, two-thirds to
be paid in cash, the balance to be secured.
Creditors outside the State, it is understood,
are generally disposed to take the offer, and it
Ia reported the Maine creditors, in view Of the
fact that the bark in the woods, the tanneries
and everything with them, are fast depreciat-
ing in value, have decided that the best thing
to be done is to settle for 40 per cent 1t is I'M
derstood that s. E. Spring of Portland, TO
whom the Shaws owe some $400, 900, will set
tie at the above figures Mr.. Spring is by far
the largest of the Maine creditors, and proba-
bly, half owed by the Shaws is due Mr.. s. The
failed firm owe in this city between $4,000
and $4,000. 1t will be a great boon to the
people of the northern sections of the State
where the tanneries are, IL they could be start
ed mp again this season. A large number of
people In those sections depended, directly or
indirectly, upon the tanneries for work during
the winter months. The offer of 40 per cent
will be considered, and something more def
mite in regard to its acceptance or non-accept-
ance, will no doubt be announced in few
days."
