The Philadelphia correspondent of the

"Prices in all kinds of canned goods in this
market are at a standstill the demand for the
season of the year is fair. 1t would be very
much better but for the liberal supply of early
vegetables now pouring in from the South The
disposition to buy goods for fall delivery is no.

AN INTERESTING OLD NEWSPAPER County
Commissioner Robert j. Walker on Tuesday
left at The Hgis office, for inspection, copy of
the Newport Mercury of October 9th, 1881. 1t
contains full accounts from the London Gazette
"extraordinary," of fight between the English
and Dutch fleets in the North Sea, August 5th,
1871, and also the Dutch Admirars account of
the same engagement.
The most interesting articles in this old news
paper, however, are Gen. Nathaniel Greene's re-
port to Congress of the battle ofEutaw Springs,
). G., and the news of the surrender of Lord
CORVALLIS to Gen. Washington, at Yorktown,
ON the 18th of October, the news being nine
days old when the Mercury published it.
"By this glorious Conquest" says the Mersu,.y,
mine thousand of the Enemy including seamen,
fell into our Hands, with an immense Quantity
OF warlike Stores, Forty Gun Ship, an armed
Vessel and about One Hundred Sail of Trans
ports"
Upon receipt of the news the church bells
were rung, salutes were fired and "a number of
patriotic toasts were drank by the officers of the
army and gentlemen of the town, which we
have not room to insert" says the Mercury.

When the privilege was first conferred, tho

generally refused to take advantage OF it,

which they had in tho education of their

NICARAGUA COVERED WITH TREATIES.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ct Ia rumored here
that the reasons for refusing to confirm the

Two measures affecting the currency are
set down for consideration by the House OF
Representatives on Friday. One OF them
Ia Mr.. MCPuERsON's bill increasing the
amount o! circulation to be allowed to ma
tional banks upon tho deposit OF United
States bonds, from 90 per cent. of their par
value to 100 per cent. The other is Mr.
DINGLEY's bill directing the investment in
United States bonds OF the $42, OO0, 900 in law
full money now held by the Treasury as q
fund for the redemption OF notes of banks
which have failed, or are in liquidation or
are reducing circulation.
MIR. MCl'HERSoN's bill Is intended to en-
large the profits OF national bank circula-
ton and thus to check the present DISPOSE
ton OF the banks to withdraw it. BY allow
Ing them 10 per cent. more in notes than
they arc now getting upon the par value OF
their bonds, about S32,OOO,0OO will be added
to their loanabie funds, without additional
expense to them. This, 1t IL expected, will
BIO enough to keep their circulation from
shrinking, at least, il 1t docs not increase it.
The DlNGLEY bill is calculated to have an
opposite effect. BY the purchase or rcdemp-
tion OF 1000, 900 OF United States bonds,
that amount of basis for national bank cir
cuation will be withdrawn from the market
and this will, OF course. tend to raise the
price OF tho remainder. This, In turn, will
diminish tho profits upon circulation, and
thus will counterfeit the MCPHERsoN BILL
We have already pointed out in THE Stu
the absence of any necessity for proloDginG
the existence of national bank circulation.
The coin and paper money Of tho United
States are Increasing at n rate which will
soon render them entirely sufficient in otlnu-
tity for the needs of the country. We now
pay the national banks what amounts to
subsidy of over St0, 100000 year for doing
what can rs we'll DO done without their inter-
vcntion, and tho sooner this subsidy is
stopped the better. Certainly there Is no
ground for adding 100000 Il year to it just
at this tinle when the currency Is swollen by
the addition Of S2,000,00n n month in silver
dollars and silver certificates.
The measure proposed by Mr.. DiSGLEY, on
the other hand is wise ono. II 3i2 100000
In legal tender notes which bear no interest
arc good security for bank notes awaiting
redemption, tho Same amount In 8 per
cent. bonds must surely be better. The pur-
chase of the bonds will cause only slow
contraction OF national bank circulation, ana
1t will release Mt once St2.000,0OO OF United
States money now locked up.
The MCPHERsoN bill should be defeated
and the DlHoLEY bill should be passed.
