CHICAGO, Oct. S1.-The week and month
closes on fairly satisfactory money market,
and, compared with thirty days ago, there
is decided change for the better. Country
bank balances have been closely drawn
down, and many interior institutions are
now asking for liberal lines of rediscOunts,
and the offerings of such paper promise to
show a large increase ere the end OF the
succeeding month, as extensive preparations
are being made by country dealers to crib
large quantities of corn along the lines
of railroads, where it will be held until
next spring. This will necessarily absorb
large volume of money, the bulk OF which
must go from Chicago The number OF cat
tie fed for the winter and spring market
will likewise exceed any preceding years
operations in that line, and. as with corn
dealers, feeders are already looking to CHI
cago for their funds. The home
demand is steadily increasing, and when 1t
is considered that the close OF navigation,
is now twenty days distant, from pres
ent appearances at least 16, 600, 900 bu OF
grain will be in our elevators, and the
volume will steadily augment after that
PERIOD in addition, pork packing operations
promise to be heavier than for several sea-
ooiio PaoG' hcnCo IL 10 Pitiii oue.o iiio'O"u VI
being drug; as has been the case for
nearly year, money is likely to be
in good demand for the next
six months. In view of this
fact, in connection with recent
calls, the national banks say they are will
ing to accept previous rates, and a majority
are naming 5 per cent. as the inside for
grain and provision loans and COZ per cent.
for mercantile and other business papers,
although few of the independent banks,
whose business mainly comes from the board
of trade, are taking grain and provision
collaterals at per cent. on call or thirty
days. Street rates are quoted at 500 per
cent, and business paper generally selling
at per cent.

 DEAR SrR:-During the past week all work in and about the mines has been going on as usual.
 Some of the stopes on top of the hill are not looking as well as when last re- ported, the ore in depth at certain points beng of lower grade Deep cut and south stopes continue 10 look we'll as depth is attained. and are turn ing out their usual amount of ore.
 The stopes ID Crocker north drift are opening up remarkably well m width, showing a body from l6 to l7 feet wide of fair grade milling ore.
 From the general appearance at the present time, there IS large body ct ore at this point which cIn be handled very chesply.
 A uinze has been sunk on Crocker ground to a depth of g3 feet, and 8 drift is now being run north into Peer. less ground to cut the present ore body 93 feet feet lower down. The vein al the bottom of this winze shows more strength and is of a more favorable character. The indications are that Il will improve as depth is attained.

From Mir. Hill, who arrived in this city thls week from the Hot Springs on the upper Gils, 1t is learned that ship ment of 1000 pounds of alum vss rec ently made from that section for test purposes. Mir. Ely, the gentleman who has interested himself m the mines, ot which there are some twelve or fifteen, states that if the tests are satisfactory, works will be erected at the mines for the treatment oi,the ere. At the present time there are only about 5000 tons of alum consumed annually in the United States. Alum stone or slumnite vas first discovered near Rome in the 10th century, and afterwards in Hungary And several other European countries. IL IS generally found Tn trachite or other volcanic rock. It appears to be pro- duced by the action of sulphurous va
 DOTS on tte feldspars they contain, and generally occurs m compact. granular or earthy masses mixed with quartz or feldspar. Several native varieties have been fonnd ID South America, but this Is probably the first ever discovered in the ! United States, There are mountains of
 it on the upper Gils, and if the test ship ment proves satisfactory, New Me1ico
 sIll have the honor of having the first alum mine In successful operation in America. It may be necessary for the | general government to impose duty on the imported article in order to pro tect home industry.-Silver Ciiy Enter prise.
