MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

The bad weather of tho week has had depress-
ing effect on business aud there is a great com
plant of dull times. The wheat crop. which is
now being handled, is putting comparatively little
money in circulation for the reason that the con-
dition of the wheat is poor that the lowest
prices are being paid for it, and many farmers are
being brought in debt There is no change in
rates for money or in prices of local stocks. In
Baltimore yesterday the money market was quiet
and easy Loans were quoted at 4lbs5 per cent.
per snnum.
NEW YORK. Sept 13 The stock market was
unusually quiet at the opening this morning, and
first prices as compared with those of last even
ing, were steady. The business done WAS very
SIN I'll for the first hour, and the fluctuations in
prices were on the same limited scale, while the
general tendency WAS downward. The decline
WAS checked late in the hour and the greater por-
tion of the early losses WAS recovered. At eleven
o'clock the market was fairly active and firm to
strong at close to tho opening prices. Money BAD.

Bonded in a surety COMPANY.

The method by which an employe is
bonded in a surety company is simple
enough. The employe, having been re-
quested by his emplt yer to furnish q bond
in some stated amo mt, goes to a reliable
surety company and fills out and signs an
application The application contains q
number Of questions regarding the char
acter and antecedents of the empIoye,
which must be answered fully and specif-
ically. All emplOyments for ten years
last past must be clearly stated, with the
reason for leaving each. a complete de-
scription Of the appearance of the appli-
can't is noted on the back of the applica-
tion. At least four responsible persons
must be given as references. To each Of
them a special form of questions is then
sent. Upon satisfactory answers to these
questions, and upon a careful private in
vestigation Of the habits Of life of the ap-
pllcant, bond is executed by the guaran-
tee company and handed to the EMPLOYER.
insuring him against loss arising from
dishonesty on the part Of the emplove.
At the very threshold it is remarkable
to observe how many employers dread to
offend their employees by asking them for
such bond This may be very well as a
matter Of delicate politeness. but surely.
IN the expressive language of trade, ''it is
not business" The question is not what
is most courteous, but what is most
right? What is most just not only to the
employer, but to tho cmploye himself?
Could better test be devised than to ask
an employe to give a bond? If lie is
honest, he will do so chcerfully; if he
gets of nded, it were as well to dis
charge him without much delay.-Lin-
coin l.. Eyre in Lippincott's Magazine

simple Method for nennimntion.

AT a meeting of the last congress- OF
German scientists this subject was dis.
cussed, and DR.. II. Frank mentioned that
there are but two ways to stimulate the
heart-electricity and mechanical concus.
sion of the heart. The first is considered
dangerous by him as it NAV easily DESTROY
the last power of contraction remaining
In the organ. But what is termed 'snec.
toral conclusion" is decidedly preferable.
DIR. Franks method is as follows: He
tiexes the hands on the wrist to an obtuse
angle, places them both near each other
IN the ileocecal region, and makes vigor.
Gus strokes in the direction of the heart
and of the diaphragm. These strokes are
repeated from fifteen to twenty times. and
are succeeded by q pause, during which
he strikes the chest over the heart re.
peatedly with the palm of his hand. In
favorable cases this method is early suc.
cessful, and sometimes a twitching of the
lids or The angles of the mouth appears
with surprising rapidity as the first sign
OF returning life. As soon as these SWIM.
toms are noted, the simple manipulations
above described must be earnestly con
tinued and persevered in from half tc
one hour, for, with their cessation. the
phenomena indicating beginning of return
Of life also cease. Generally, the face as
sumes a slight reddish tint, and at the
same time faint pulsation may be felt in
the carotids. By this method DR.. FranI,
has seen life return in fourteen cases
among whom were such as had hung them
selves, drowned and asphyxiated bv car
6onic oxide, and in one case by Group
