cd in the humblcst way-as is the rule
with all great inveniions-ynd every
one at frs. looked upon ii with suspi

vor with rapid strides Our attention
was recently called TO the new machine
placed upon the market by the Davis
Sewing Machine Company, the New
High Arm" Vertical Feed" as it is
called. The vertical feed is the princi-
Pal distinguishing feature Of this ma
chine, which separates it from, and
places it above. the popular machines
Of other makes. 1t ia necessary to see
this new feed method in order to un>
derstand and appreciate its many sd-
vantaees. This machine mukes the
most sure and beautiful stitch; sews
fight and heavy goods equally we'll;
ruas lightly, without fati qua to the op-
orator. The simplicity Of its cons,ruc-
ton commends the Davis to our
Judgment. Ia this particular feature
we believe it is without a parallel. We
could dwell at great length upon its
ether n merits, but space viii not admit.
The Company is Represented in this

TIE FINANCIAL SITUATION.


The local money market last week presented no
changes Money on call continued 10 be IN abundant
supply, and for time loans the offerings at previous
quotations in excess Of the demand The
Government purchased only small amount Of
20 demonstrate that a large amount OF them Is
held ready for conversion into cash the moment
that the money market INDICATES that
a further supply is desirable. The London
money market ruled steady all the week at some
thing under the Bank rate, which still remains at
8 per cent against per cent at this date last
year The Bank OF England gained over half a
million STIRLING, and also increased It's ratio Of
reserve 10 its liabilities which now is 2 per cent
changes during the whole week were unusually
duh for this season OF the year. The market,
however. ruled firm in the absence Of commercial
bills the making of which is delayed by the want
Of vessels to carry away produce which is awaiting
export Sterling closed quoted 81 II - and
81 - "a respectively for long and short bills for
actual business.
TIE GENERAL SITUATION.
The weather of tn past week was exceedingly
favorable to the growing crops, while the reports
from abroad allo wing for good deal OF eX-
acgeration continued to warrant the belief IN
an active demand for Americas surplus IL was
not an unfaVorabe feature that the speculation in
futures for wheat met with decided check. The
