MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The large disbursements of the Treasury
last week were but partially reflected in the
bank statement OF Saturday, which showed
an increase OF $2,470,900 in reserves. The
disbursements of the Treasury actually ex-
ceeded its receipts by $6,Sl4,9 26 from Satur-
day to Saturday, but they occurred so largely
in the latter half of the week that the aver
age of balances for six days corresponding
with the bank statement of April % exceeded
the average for the six days ending May 4
only $50, 3S5,0S8. Hence the banks had re-
ceived on Saturday night about $2,500,0 900
more money from the Treasury than their
statement alone would have represented. But
the statement discOses a rapid expansion Of
loans, the increase in average of loans hav-
ing been $2,612 400, or more than the in
crease in average of reserves. Hence it is
not improbable that the expansion of loans to
the close of the week also largely exceeded
that represented by the state ment. The pre-
vaiIing opinion in banking circles, apparently,
is that danger from mo Notary stringency is
passed, so that the banks may rs well employ
their money as freely as they can. The sur

from the South that the Cincinnati Convention was

General Rosecrans is thoroughly in earnest in
procaiming his views of the duties and require
ments OF American citizenship, and there is no
reason why his monograph on the subject an
abstract of which appears i'll this issue, should
be dismissed with contemptuOus and fippant
criticism. His character and public services
should command respectful hearing, and GER
tainly the topic which is now uppermost in his
mind liz one to winch attention cannot be di-
rected too often. Naturally, his diagnosis of the
disease is more acute than his prescriptions for
cure are practical, especially when he makes it
the business of Government TO furnish voters
with authentic and timely information as to the
character and qualifications OF candidates.

Bristol, England, would be good place for
free-t traders TO make pilgrimage to. The in-
dustrlal decline Of that city, studied close at
hand, might serve to convince them that fine
economical theory does not always work well III
practice Mr.. Robert p Porter, in his letter
from Bristol, published this morning, points
out mpartially the causes which have contrib
uted to the business decline which is so marked
now in this British seaport. England's pecu-
liar theory of trade was not the sole cause;
but it was chief among many. 1t started Brls-
tol down hill but still, when the manufactur-
ers pointed out how and why they were being
injured, Parliament was so obstinately devoted
to free-trade policy that the slight protection
asked was refused, and great industries were
left to suffer. Such, at least, is the testimony
of the men who were ruined and they are
probably as well informed as TO the cause OF
their troubles rs any one is.
