The Finacial Situation.

|
The following from the Toledo Blad
of the 18th gives the financial situation
s.The New York money market was ex
tremely stringent last week. On Wed
nesday the rate OH call loans advanced
to Is per cent, and on Thursday anC
Friday it ran up at times to panic
price, reaching d of per cent, per day
and 6per cent. or 1856 per cent. per an
mum, though the average was only
Is per cent, itself an enormous rate. >
The reason given for this extraordina.
ry advance in rates of interest. is as fol-
lows:
''rhis closeness of the money market
was due to the active demand from the
south and west to move crops, and the
comparatively small amount Of money
reaching trade channels
The true reason is not given, but if it
were. the necessity for breaking up the
Wall street gang of thieves is all the
more urgent. Admit that it is true that
there is an active demand for money to
move the'crops in the south and west,
and it follows that Wall street has taken
advantage Of necessity, and by advanc-
ing rates of interest rObs the farmer at a
time when lie can i'll afford it, because of
a shortage in grain crops. But the truth
is that it was not me demand, for there
is no corn crop to move; the wheat and
flax crops, to a great extent, are moved,
and with the cotton crop only to move,
the demand in this line is comparatively
light. The advance is not, AS is again
claimed, due to large importations of
foreign goods, bus the real reason is
twO-fold, or in other words, the object
was to steal from the people through
two sources-thrOugh the source Of
high interest, and through the source Of
taxation. 1t will be remembered that
after the squeeze began,
Secretary Window wen5 to New
York and there held conference with
leading bankers, and that after the con-
ference he advanced the paying price
for bonds from S1.24 to $l.25, and also
announced his Willingness to pay inter-
est on bonds one year in advance. The
offer was greedily accepted, as is shown
by the fact that up to the 10th, 50,0OO,-
900 of per cents had been presented.
Grand scheme! Tax the people TO OBJ
tain surplus-squeeze the market for
high rates Of interest-have the treasllr-
er pay out the surplus in advance-lOan
again to the people to pay taxes. 'Rah

Suggestions for Girls Who Are in tine
Matrimonial Market.
Men often admire women for their
intellectual culture, their skill in music
or their taste in matters of dress; but
they do not love women because they
possess these distinguishing qualities,
Brainy women, so called, have a great
many admirers, but they are not in de-
mand in the matrimonial market; at
least they are not fought over to any
great extent.
Business men want wives who are
competent to manage the domestic end
of their business, and not such az have
to be managed, or who want to manage
all or nothing. The latter usually
wreck the business of the firm, or keep
the man in such a state of worry that he
only gets along tolerably we'll.
A sensitive, sensible business man
doesn't want wife who poses as the
head of the domestic concern; who
carries the purse and the night key, and
practically wears the trousers. There
are some men who like such wives, but
they are exceptions to the rule.
The best husbands in the land want
wives who are intelligent, practical and
affectionate; who take pride in their
home s, feel an interest in the success Of
their husbands, and are ready to share
either fortune or misfortune. Such
woman is brave, generous and inde-
pendent, and will command the respect
of any honest, courteous man IN the
land. 1t will mot be asked OF her
whether she speaks French or plays
high-class music on the piano.
A man wants a wife Of whom he is
proud, either at home or abroad He
wants her to be neat, tidy and we'll
mannered. 1t is not really necessary
that she be pretty, but she must be
agreeable, Of kindly disposition, loving
and affectionate.
The woman who is fitting herself for
the position of wife should be careful
not to bank very heavily on either her
pretty face or good shape. nor even on
her boarding-sehool accomplishments,
These are good enough to secure pass
ing admiration, but they are not just
the points sensible man looks for when
he starts out to select a wife. He pre-

1t Cost the Life of the Poor Wretch Who
Discovered 1t.
''There's the most beautiful diamond
have ever seen during an experience
of thirty years with the sparkling
gems" said veteran diamond merchant
yesterday, as he held up stone that
seemed to live in fire. From every
facet radiated brilliant cOlors, and the
hue of the stone was that steely blue
which delights every connoisseur of
the precious gems. The diamond did
not weigh over six carats, but it was
easily worth $1,000.
''That stone has a tragic history"
continued the man of jewels as he laid
the diamonds to rest amid a nest of
snowy cotton. st comes from the De
Beers mines, in South Africa, and was
discovered by coolie employed by the
company. His practised eye saw that
the gem was marvellous one for beauty
of color, and desire to steal it over
came him. Well, he did steal it, and to
conceal the diamond abou his person
for the coolies work almost naked in the
diamond mines-cut hole in his flesh
under the arm. But the wound did not
heal, and the observant eye of the fore
man saw what was the matter. A few
days after he charged the coolie with
having stolen diamond, but the negro
denied it.
"When Jack, the foreman, reached
for his sore arm the thief made dash
and ran toward the outskirts of the
camp like deer. The foreman fol-
lowed him, but the fieet-footed negro
outstripped him. He knew that severe
punishment awaited him if captured,
and centered all his effort on getting
away with the stone, whose value would
have made him rich for life But Jack
was equal to the emergency, and draw
ing his pistol shot the coolie through
the back just as he was taking to the
hills. His dead body was dragged back
into camp, his arm cut open and the
beautiful gem in the rough was taken
from the insertion. It's tragic story.
