 Fish Sn the Ncia h horhood.

The anglers and lovers of fish about Park Rapids, Minnesota, are much dis gustcd anu seriously alarmed over the appearance of numbers of peculiar 6sh in the lakes and ponds of that vicinity, and which fish Is said to be highly poisonous. The best naturalists. as well as the oldest and most expert enccd fishermen of the neighborhood, have oeclared that they arc at . loss to name the strange fish. which are so voracious that they swallow all bait as soon as placed in the water and pre- vent others from biting, while wholly uncatable themselves. It is also be- lieved that they are eNterninating the other varieties as immense quantities of the latter are found dead every day along the shores of the lakes and ponds.

The theory had been debated in all the clubs Ut Des Arcs, but as no decision could be reached, 1t has been left to the president of the Cotton Blossoms to decide.

February Z:
"The general impression in financial
circles is that a continued period of
easy interest rates is i" prospect. The
New York banks continue to gain in
cash and in deposits. The customs
payments on goods imported prior to
the enforcement of the tariff law we're
completed at the close Of last week
without in any way affecting the mar
ket. Money on call has continued
easy at 1908 per cent, and time loans
are freely offered at 4t@5 per cent,
while borrowers in some instances can
obtain funds on approved collateral at
4 per cent. There is a fair demand
for commercial paper at 5@5A per
cent. for best names, though the offer
ings are not at all large"

My letter of the goth, published in
the Journal Of the gath, was copied IN
part by the WOOD RIVER TIMES of
the 2Sth, and commented thereon, and
outgrowls the "Growler' himself.
Now, Bro. Picotte, you do me an
injustice! for l know from you per-
sonalIy, and several Of the best men
IN HALEY, that the great Haley ring
of which SO much has been said about
and used for effectiny the division Of
Alturas county two years ago, was
composed Of parties whose official
residence was by law located in HALEY,
but really had no sympathy With the
town Of HALEY or its residents hence
the division of the county, aud in the
formation Of Logan county the prin-
cipals were trauspanted to Logan
county. and as the vegetation OF hig h
or northern altitude thrives better in
a more southern ana lower altitude,
this held good in the formation of I.o.
gan county, and the result of the
transfer showed that nature was but
repeating itself, as shown in my letter
of the 10Th. 1t is we'll known that
the hue and cry about the HALEY ring
was a cry of stop thief, while the cry
sounded lon.lsst from the thieves,
they wishing to draw attention from
themselves.
Are you satisfied with this explana-
ton Bro. TIMES?
Why, certainly!

BUSINESS IN GENERAL.

IL EXCEEDS Last Years IL Yolume. the
Honey Aarket is Easy, aud Loasisg
Rates are Dropping.
Du" & Co.'S Review for tho week
ending February 7 says:
"Thoueh at higher level Of prices,
business continues to exceed last
years on the whole, and is in charac.
ter more healthy and conservative than
usual. With less speculative exci.e>
ment, with = sense Of uncertainty
making buyers more cautious in nearly
oil lines, SO that purchases are closely
confined to the actual demand for
consumption, the volume Of business
transacted is nevertheless much great.
er than year ago in some of the most
important branches, and in scarcely
any is there material decrease. Mon.
ey markets are every where easy, in
part because speculative liquidations
and the marketings Of crops have ill.,
Grated large sums for which there is
no immediate use. and the volume of
currency in circulation therefore de-
creased nearly $4,000, 900 in January.
But while it is or,hy that out
standing legal tenders, bank notes,
silver notes, silver certificates. and sil>
yer coins all decreased, there were
over Sill 10000 more gold certificates
taken out aud held in circulation.
"Con6dence is still affected to some
extent by possibilities Of monetary
legislation, but the impression grows
stronger that no important action will
occur at this session Of Congress, and
that an extra session will be avoided.
Thus the disposition increases to count
upon the future, for this year at least.
with confidence, hut speculative ten.
denotes are in most directions held in
check by conviction that consumers
demands my not prove quite equal to
last years, on account Of short crops.
The stock market has been irregular,
with many stocks we'll sustained, while
others were freely sold, but the dispo.
sition to invest surplus funds is
strengthened by the progress Of rail
road presidents toward effective regu-
lation of traffic, by the large earnings
reported, and BY indications that
threatened legislation in some Of
the Western States is likely to
prove less impoTt.nt than was feared.
The average prices Of commodities
advance nearly half of one per cent.
for the past week, but the advance is
almost exclusively in products OF
which crops were short.
"Reports this week from all parts
of the country indicate fair volume
of trade for the seasan, easy money,
and collections generally fair. = =
The exports from New York are
now falling below last years, espe>
cially in breadstutfs. But there is no
present reason to apprehend any un.
favorable influence from foreign
trade, and the Treasury has in no way
disturbed finances. Money on call
has dropped from p to z per cent,
and foreign exchange remains steady
at $4.S7."
