On Wall Street.

NEW YORK, December 22.-The abb
sorbing topic of interest in Wall Street
to-day has been the advance in rates of
foreign exchange, quotations for de-
mand sterling bills reaching point at
which shipments can be made at a profit
of 4.901z for posted rates and4 S91S for &C
tual business. There was an engage
ment for 100000 gold this afternoon for
shipment on Saturday, and it is gener-
ally believed further shipments will be
made. The immediate cause for this
advance has been the advance in the
Bank of En1giifap1dd, rate Of disoount 49,

tial cause is to be found in the ex-
tremely light shipment of grain to
Europe, especially wheat, while the
visible supply of wheat in this country
is far in excess of previous years.
Merchants who are familiar with the
subject also say that a considerable
quantity of cotton was sold last July by
planters, deliverableinn ninety days, and
that when deliveries were made there
was considerable advance in thelprice
OF spot cotton which gave considerable
dissatisfaction to planters and led them

ocratic party because with US resides

wealth and political wisdom of the

possible to deny that the opposition
includes brains as clear hearts as
free and reflection as calm and cul-
tured as can be claimed by any or
ganization anywhere. And the very
fact that these gentlemen have late

TO THE FRONT.

With the results achieved at the
last municipal election in Palatka, a
new prospect has opened before us
in our city government. The books
have been carefully balanced, and
for the first time in our history it
has been possible to render strict
account of all sums received aud
paid out. But with this success
new responsibilities devolve upon
our citizens. The work achieved
will he yalueless if not pushed to
completion. While we are busy
and involved in our private affairs,
we owe also something to the public.
In free government each citizen Is
in some measure a public officer, and
he has no right to bar the gates of
his castle and ignore the needs of
the public in state or county or mu-
nicipality
Therefore the call published in
another column should be obeyed
by every citizen. If such a work as
that now contemplated was vitality
necessary one year ago, the interests
to be now preserved are much heav-

WORDS OF COUNSEL.

we nave repeatedly asked tha0
leading republicans in Putnam ex-
press their opinions through om col
umns as to the expediency of action
directly by the. people in the nomi-
nation of delegates to the constitu-
tional convention. Since none have
responded to our invitation, it is
reasonable to conclude that the lea
ders of the opposition are waiting
for action by MS. The call by the
democratic executive committee is
| for a democratic convention, be-
cause that body had no authority
except that emanating from demo
Gratis. But when the county con-
vention meets, we shall then have a
body with full powers to recommend
popular action, and we hope no par
tisan plan will be adopted by these
representatives of the people. The
interests involved are too wide and
general to admit of manipulation
for the benefit of either party, We
hope the following words of Judge
Tucker, taken from the Sanford
Journal, will carry weight by reason
or their inherent practical wisdom
as well as from the well-known abil-
ity of their author:
''In my character of private citi-
zen | ask permission to express thus
publicly my regret that democrat

will it be found necessary to con
vene the people in their sovereign
character to frame or modify the
fundamental law under which WE
are protected in life, liberty anC
prosperity. When such an even
becomes desirable, it surely concerns
the whole people, and not politica
party. We are not to have a con
stitution for the democratic party
nor any other party; but for TIN
