ia all the time far below the receipts OF last
year. The rail movement from Chicago east
ward last week amounted to $4,000 tons, 80
per cent more than the shipments OF the same
week last year, but the rates were very much
lower, and the increase was mainly by the Grand
Trunk and the Baltimore and Ohio, while the
Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania lines carried
less than the week before The prospect OF a
change Of rates may temporarily Influence
traffic, but there does not seem to be the
utmost public confidence that the desired ad-
vance will be practically effected. The stock
market did not improve after the annual meet
ing of railroad presidents and the average price
of sixty stocks at the close on Saturday was
lower by 20 cents per share than at the close OIL
the previous week. The announcement that
the st. Paul was again in the market to borrow
money had bad effect, as well as the talk OF
building the line to Kansas City. But it
would be safe to remember that prices can be
easily rushed up any day az the will of few
managers.
Last week the banks lost PISA, 900 from
their reserves, and there Is again much talk OF
money sent to the interior, as there has been
constantly for several weeks. A little compar-
ison seems to cast some light on that matter.
On the 25th Of July the banks held
$3.50, 800 in reserves, and now hold
Sal, 1885, 200; loss of $40, 184,400 They
have loaned about $6,OO0,000 to the Treasury,
but they hold certificates for the amount and
report them as cash. The real loss of the
banks, therefore, has been S25, 100000. Now
the United States Treasury, at all its offices
and in all places, held on Saturday 81, All $50
more gold in excess of certificates than on the
25th of July, $6,135,325 more silver in excess
of certificates, and $10332,56 more legal
tenders In excess of certificates so that it has
taken out of circulation within nine weeks
about SO. 500, 900 more than the banks of New
York have paid out 1t goes without say ing
that most of the Treasury collections have been
made here. The Treasury receipts last week
were only 10 per cent In silver certificates, and
for the month thus far only 81 per cent. The
publication of Mr.. Warmers bill elected general
criticism, and among conservative business men
scarcely any one regarded it with favor. The
fact is that Mr.. Warmers sanguine expressions

IRE PILLS Essential TO LIEF

Judge Chapman. Of Detroit, has Just decided that
a contract made by drug firm not to sell certain
pills below a certain price is valid this decision IS
based on the view that pills, unlike wheat and coal
aud similar articles, arc not necessaries of life To
assert that pills are " in any sense indispensable
TO the human race says Judge Chapman. would

Pills are absolutely essential TO the lives Of drug

pAUpERS FOR THE CONGO.

It il stated that the elgian Government is
preparing q bill to authorize the sending Of
paupers to the Congo country as cOlonists. 1t
is added that provision will be made in the bill
to aid them in making livelihood, which may
be some consolation to the deported paupers.
There is nothing new in the experiment, but
the general conditions are such as to render its
success extremely doubtful. In the first place,
the presumption is that Belgian paupers are for
the most part people who lack the energy and
persistence necessary to success in the struggle
for existence in thickly-populated country.
Now if this is the case, it might seem at the first
glance that such people would find it easier to
get on in q tropical region, where production
is bountiful aud competition as yet does not
exist, But there is another consideration to be
reckoned with, namely, the climate, and con-
corning that the evidence can scarcely be con-
sidered rcassuting. 1t is true that some
travellers have declared it salubriOus, but the
general average of expert opinion appears to
be against its suitability for Europeans.
Several kinds of malarial fever are known to
flourish in the region, aud no expedition has so
far escaped defamation by disease.
Perhaps the Belgian Government considers
that paupers are the cheapest material with
which to test the colonization capacities of. the
country II only superior energy were required,
il might be vol to dispatch abe-bodied
criminals instead. But tho Congo natives
would have valid ground of objection to that
kind of immigration, and difficult moral ques.
tons might arise from it. The paupers are
presumably harmless and peaceable persons,
and IL they can live at all on tho Congo they
may establish orderly communities. The pros
pect of their success against the difficulties con-

fronting them is, however, not by any means
brilliant. What with their natural deficiencies,
the need of acclimation. the quite possible
hostility of the natives, and their ignorance OF
the kinds of culture required for production In
so little known a country. it mus be said
that the proposed experiment is of the boldesf'
and that it is far more likely to end in disaster
than success Still, the paupers have nothing
to lose but their lives, and as their position at
home must be anything but agreeable, they may
be willing to try their luck on the great African
