Lead and Silver,

The market closed duh last week, accord
ing to the Journal and was subsequently
further depressed, and some sales were
made at $40. After that, however, demand
became much better, and We close firm to-
day at s4.4715GS4. 80. The western shelters
are behind hand with deliveries. During
the week some holders of repievined lead
(Which was attached about two years
ago at the time Of the Corwith failure)
were approached by the parties who issued
the replevin and settlement arranged by
which few hundred tons were released
and put on the market. Rumors are cur
rent that other settlements Of a similar ma
ture are pending, but as to this nothing de-
finite is known.
In Chicago, the market continues quiet,
and there is little disposition shown by
consumers to anticipate requirements.
From St. Louis comes the announcement
that depressed seaboard advices and rather
liberal offerings have caused decline.
The demand has been as usual. Consumers
appear to be pretty well supplied, and, as a
rule, not inclined to load up for any de-
ferred deliveries.
In Salt Lake lead has been stationary
opening at S4.35, and closing at the same
figure.
Silver has shown an upward tendency,
being quoted at S1.l2, Sl.1215, $1.1255ss,
Sl.115S, SLIP, Sl.12X.

There is every evidence to show that, I'M
der reasonable conditions, the existing rail
road system of the United States could be
operated at an average of 60 per cent. OF
its gross earnings The most marked in
crease IN earnings were in the states west
of the Mississippi and east of the Rocky
Mountains. IL the Middle States the
losses in gross earnings suffered by the
coal-carrying roads kept the increase for
the section down to narrow margin OF
81, 800 900, while the whole south fails to
show any gain of consequence, In the lat
ter case, this failure to show expected re-
suits is due almost wholly to the inability
of the vast number of new roads which
have recently been brought into operation
to report for full year.

There is little to say of the business OF
the week just closed that is, but little
new. There are some indications of the
usual midsummer dullness, but taking
everything into consideration, the volume
is quite large and perfectly satisfactory.
Renittances from the country are COM

generally are showing their faith in the
future by laying in big supplies for the fall
and winter trade.
The real estate market has shown decided
symptoms of re-awallening, the sales on

respectable proportions.
The building boom is still on, and

his force busy until this time next year.

Men Who Look in tho Glass.

The idea that women are the only
mortals who gazs at themselves in
mirror may be quite generally accepted,
but it is erroneous. The average man is
unable to resist the desire to take squint
at himself. lie may, and often does it
on thesly; but he does it, just the same.
If anyone doubts the truth of this state
ment, let him catch the men as they
step into an elevator in any one of the
business blocks. The first thing man
does after entering is to place himself
squarely before the reflector aud view
bis counterpart on the other side of the
glass. Ifcaught at it, he usually turns
quickly away, with bang-dog express

General Lee and Stimulauts.

From an anecdotal and personal arti-

we quote the following; "He bad the
gentlest way possible ofgiving counsel
and administering rebuke. l remember
hearing him say, in presence where
such testimony was worth more than a
dozen temperance lectures Men need
no stimulant 1t is something, l am
persuaded, they can do without. When
I went into the field atthe beginning OF
the war, a good lady friend of mine gave
me two sealed bottles of very superb
French brandy. | carried them with
me through the entire campaign; and
when I met my friend again, after all
was over, I gave her back both bottles of
brandy, with the seals upbroken. 1t
may have been some comfort to me to
know that had them in case of sudden
emergency, but the moment never came
when needed to use them. +"

Chelue Banlls.

The very latest importation Of an
English notion In New York Is mn inno-
walton In banking circles, known as the
cheque bank, which hos opened up o
branch Of the London institution. The
system is totally different to that Of any
other banking institution, for the reason
that its assets are invested IN govern
mcnt securities, and that it does not dis
count notes or bills like other banks. In
addition to this thoy never issue check
until the value Of the check is deposited
in the bank. A customer opening up an
account with the bank deposits, for in

with checks to the value Of $1,000, each
having its valuo distinctly printed and
perforated upon Its face The customer

his credit, cash for which will be paid or
