REVIEW.
New YORK, December l6.-In spite of de-
cidedly higher prices from abroad the mar
ket here opened very undecided and feverish.
fhe apprehension of the stringency in the
money market being continued and stop
ping all new business, and conservative
houses were wholly disinclined to increase
their holding. The one question: and the
only serious one which we have to consider,
is the money market. Every one knows
that the railroads and especially the trunk
lines are doing a remunerative business and
at rates that have never been higher or bet
ter maintained than they are to-day. Our
opinion is simply this: Get the money ques-
tion settled and prices must be higher on
their merits. Until this is done we will have
fluctuations, but it may suit the parties who
manipulated the stringency TO let up, and if
they do 50 we may expect sharp recovery.
1t is a time for caution, however, and perhaps
the one who waits may be the wisest The
market rallied very sharply late in the day,
and closed steady. Money loaned all the way
from % to 100 per cent, and closed after the
majority of the balances had been fixed at 6.
10 per cent.

REMARKS.

The wheat market has ruled strong and
higher to-day advance of half cent being sus-
tained. Fluctuations were large and trading
heavy both for local and outside accolnt.
Principal causes Of advance seemed TO be fear
that cold weather would extend into winter
wheat belt and result in scare for the crop
and the better feeling IN New York. We can
see nothing at present, however TO cause any
permanent advance until receipts from
Northwest fall off, and would sell wheat on
bulges.
Corn very quiet and steady, fluctuations
almost nothing. Close is about last nights
figures.
market, good advance being sustained on the
whole line.

The probabilities are that in holding
back the denomination Of Matthews the
proposed colored successor to Fred.
Douglass as recorder of deeds, the Presi-
dent has on his thinking cap and does
not propose to cause violent agitation
of the issue again. Matthews is not only
a nonresident Of the District and anegro,
but is little Albany lawyer and politi-
clan. whose appointment reflects a contra
diction on the Presidents professed policy
in the civil service. 1t is hoped by the Presi-
dents Washington friends that this will
be the last of Matthews.

silver DOLLARS.

A paper published in the interests Of
bimesailism at Cleveland, and known as
the Silver Dollar, publishes the follow
ing pertinent points on silver: 1.-THE two
hundred and forty millions of silver dol
lars that have been coined and put in
circulation since 1878, are all that is now
saving the nation from a general financial
crash. We are tided over the breakers
simply by silver. Does any one doubt
it? Let him answer the question then
What would be the condition of business
to-day, il the circulating medium were
suddenly contracted, by the loss or de-
struction of S240, OO0, 900? The labor
strikes we now have are as a Summer
zephyr to a cyclone, to the condition Of
things that would then rule. Silver is
indeed a blessing, and the inconsiderate
business men of this country, who would
strike it down know not what they
would do; but the conspirators know
well what they are about.
"The greenbacks are a fixed quantity
at S346, 900, 900. The national bank cir
c~ulation is being contracted at the rate
of 81, 900, coo per month, or S24, 600, 900
per year, and if it were not for the silver
dollars that are being coined and put into
the circulating medium, there would
soon be great stringency in the money
market and in a year a panic.
1--WE have about S27 per capita in
gold, silver, ~greenbacks, national bank
notes and gold and silver certificates
while France has double this amount, or
s54 per capita. We are now short in
our circulating medium hundreds OF
millions of dollars of the amount of
money required to carry on the business
of this country properly. Our popula-
tion is increasing at the rate OF four per
cent per year, or doubling every twenty
five years; this increase of population
alone demands an increase in our money
volume of at least $40, DOC, 900 q year.
But our trade and m are also
growing, demanding a still further in.
crease in the money volume of the
country, and this demand for money is
not only being met, but we have a lot of
conspirators who are in league with Eng
land, endeavoring to assassinate the
prosperity of this nation by striking
down the silver dollar. The Indifference
with which many business men look
upon this silver question reminds one Of
Nero's fiddling while Rome was burning.
1t is not a few silver kings who are fight
ing for the silver dollar; far from it; it is
the thoughtful men everywhere through.
out this nation. England may jingle her
guineas in the face of poor starved ma
tions like Egypt and Turkey, which she
virtually owns, but America has her own

sell the world"

Madison County COnvicts.

From a private letter received by a
gentleman in our city, we learn that the
Bill introduced in the Legislature by the
Hon. A. Whited, "To Regulate the
Working OF Convicts in Madison coun.
ty," will be reported favorably by the
Committee of 'Local Legislation" in the
House. This is a most important meas
ure to the people OF our county. The
labor OF the convicts can certainly be
made available on our public roads, and
we trust that our worthy representatives
in the General Assembly from Madison,
will pass some law giving the people OF
our County the full benefit OF this labor.
We are informed that Mr.. Whited S bill
turns over the convicts from all the
Courts Of our County, to the Commits
sioners' Court, free from the pay ment OF
any fine or costs, assessing from the trial
or conviction of the convict. This would
make our Commissioners Court give the
matter fair and full trial, and thereby
meet the wishes and demands OF our
people.
The convict labor used in connection
with a bill also introduced by Mr..
Whited, authorizing our Commissioners
Court to adopt system OF gradually
matchmaking our public roads. might
economically solve the great problem OF
improvirg our public roads.
