The one hopeful feature of the money
market the past week was the shi pmcnt to
the London market of considerable
amount of stocks and bonds. This is a
great evidence of improvement in our own
! financial condition as il is u good evidence
that the failure of Congress to repeal the
Sherman Silver Act has not so much dis
iurbcd foreign confidence IN our invest
ments AS hal been feared. No doubt, the
hulk of these purchases have been of gold
bearing securities but that discrimination
implies that the misgyings among foreign
investors apply principally to obligations
thst might, under certain circumstances
connected with silver, become payable
, in that metal Commenting upon
this condition Of our own money market,
| Mr. Henry Cles,es remarks 1--WE cannot
expect foreigners TO take freely the latter
class of investments until the country has
protected itself against the possibility of in
curing further COMMITMENTS to the silver
danger; but it is something to have these
| evidences of willingness to take securities
legally payable in gold for, after all, the
bulk Of our corporate mortgages are made
expressly payable IN that form of money.
TO this extent, VIC are protected against in
ordinate returns Of securities 10 the home
market and are assured of an outlet for
them in periods of ieprp ssiou or dIstur-
hanee on this sfie the Atlantic"

Contracts have been let for furnishing
80 900 900 admission ticket to the World 8
Fair. of these .j.U00,000 will be liiho-
graphed and of such elaborate workman
ship that counterfeiting them will be nex,
to impossible. These are designed to meet
the orders for tickets which have been
lowing in for months and they will be
good whenever presented at the gates. The
remaining 30 900 900 will be simply printed
after the style of an ordinary railroad
ticket These tickets will not all be
alike, and different style will be used
each day. They will he good only on the
day on which they are sold, and will not be
offered to the public in advance of that
day. Thus danger of counterfeiting them
will be avoided. Thousands of compli-
mentary tickets and passes will have to BE-
issued, of course, but it is the intention Of
the directory to keep the list down as low as
possible, and to issue them only TO those
whose official position demands recognition
by the exposition. The list, AS thus far
prepared includes the high officials of the
government, the diplomatic corps governors
exposition commissioners directors, lady
managers, exhibitors, employees, etc, etc,
Nearly all of the passes will have affixed
the photograph of the holder to prevent
their being transferred.

1t is rare in the history of any enterprise
that man accepts n task involving such n
burden of labor, snch heavy odds agains,
its success, and such distasteful and Amos,
humiliating incidents of service, as Mr. +
w. Cram accepted some two years ago in
undertaking to promote the project of an
Aroostook railroad. He took hold of it al
a considerable pecuniary sacrifice and
assumed the risk of that possible failure
which in greater or less degree. mus,
carry down with it those who embark
as promoters of an enterprise. He has
worked with high courage, devotion. tact
and ability and his labor is finally rs il de-

cess. We voice the sentiment of Aroostook
people in extending him grateful, and
hearty congratulation and wishes that he
may live to fully develop the great railroad
he has secured for Aroostook, and that he
may see his ambition for it fully realized in
the fruitful benefits and success that will
surely follow its construction.
