MONEY AND POLITICS.
Too Much Of the One Not Good for the
Other.

Too Much Of the One Not Good for the
Other.
Business at the banks, as well as elsewhere
was rather slow yesterday on account of the
election, in which business men took as much
interest as any other class of citizens There
was a fair demand for money. however. at the
usual rates, with an abundant supply. Counter
business suffered somewhat, checking particu-
larry. The exchanges were S2.I47,04S 90 and
the balances 1886, ,S66 04. Currency and ex-
change were about on even terms.
The Wall Street Net0s says of national banks
and Senator Sherman's bill: mo one for a
moment imagines that there is the slightest
chance that the national bank system will be
done away with, and therefore many legislators
are only too anxious to frame some measure
which will admit of its continuance, in spite of
the rapid cancellation OF Government bonds.
At the moment the Senate is occupied, and
will be for some days. in the discussion Of the
Blair educational bill; but when that is out of
the way, Senator Sherman's bill is certain to
receive close attention and earnest considera-
tion. 1t requires that only 20 per cent of the
circulation need be secured by United States
bonds. Banks may issue circulation to the
amount of rs per cent of their capital stock,
and may secure 30 per cent of their circulation
by deposits of gold coin, of bullion or silver
bullion at the current price of bullion when
deposited.
the most serious discussion. It is shock to
the silver men, but it certainly will not satisfy
the most vigorous advocates of the single
standard, nor will it go quite far enough to
block the ardent silver people"
Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy, ranging from 316@5 per cent, last loan, 31a
closed offered at per cent. Prime mercantile

The OIL Market Shows sta yInG Power Under
Adverse CircumstancsA.
The oil market was about steady yesterday,
but without much movement New York
bought little cash oil and Oil City loaded up
slightly. These were the only special features.
The fluctuations we're sufficient for good pyk-
ing, but they were too quick for the boys to
catch on. Trading showed no improvement.
The opening was IO5 highest 1O5I lowest
1044 closing 105& Mondays clearances were
38S 900 barrels
The latest in the way of field news comes
from the Sheffield district where the Gilbert
Oil Company's No. came in at the rate Of l25
barrels an hour, making it the largest well in
that pool. At last account the well was put
ting out 100 barrels an hour. This strike has
had cheering effect on the operators in the
Sheffield district who have been much cast
down over the four dry holes brought in there
recently. The big Lockwood & Co. EicholtZ
is increasing again, and is now making 1000
barrels a day. The company's No. / on
the same farm is doing about 40 bar
rels day. The West View Oil Company's
well on the Ivory farm. out on the Perrysville
road which was struck some days ago, is re-
ported to be doing about 25 barrels.
Henry Fisher, of the Fisher Oil Company, of
this city. has just purchased j. E. Howard's
lease on 5000 acres in the West Virginia field
5000 acres now held by him in that section.
The new purchase is two miles from the five
barrel Craig well. The Allegheny Oil and Gas
Company has leased 400 acres in the neighbor-
hood of LeaSenville. Butler county, and q well
is being drilled on the Hesselgeser farm.
