MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

This has been dull week in business, the
heat and politics engrossiDg much attention.
The prices of grain continue low and the 70
ceipts are light. In New York yesterday
money on call was easy at 21aa4 per cent,
last loan 21h per cent, closed 21h per cent.
Prime mercantile paper 61aa71a per cent.
In Baltimore call money has been steady at
about 5 per cent, but renewals of time loans
have been effected at 6 per cent. But little
is doing in local shares.
NEW YORK, Aug 14.-After an average
decline OF about y per cent. the stock market
became frmer and prices moved up all along
the line. The market. however, lacked snap
and the buying was generally attributed to
purchases to cover short contracts and not TO
any material improvement in the situation.
Tho leading operators are still bearish but
they are not selling the market as freely as
they did a few days ago. 1t is now believed
that the future course of the market depends
principally upon developments in the political
field. The numerous failures in the com.
mercial world which are reported from day
to day are keeping conservatives out of the
market This morning an advance of 4aa21a
per cent. ensued. At II o'clock the market
was strong in tone.

The SEwER.-The work of laying
the pipe sections of the sewer on King
street has been finished and the con.
struction of the brick sections will be
commenced soon. The Pitt street Sec

ton and will be finished to King street
in few days The rain of last night
somewhat delayed work to-day, but
did no damage. Now that Pitt street
has been partially torn up for the lay
ing of the sewer, it is probable that it
will be repaired and put in better con-
dition than ever before.

The Farmer Wants To Know.

Harvey L. Goodall, former resident
of Lunenburg in this county, publishes a
bright and entertaining daily paper at
Chicago, (The Chicago Sum, and from
last Saturdays issue we take the follow
ing, written especially for the Sun:
am cautious farmer and something |
want to know
Before try the Silver Cure for my fnan-
cial woe
For otherwise it's possible to make an
error which
Would only make me poorer and give
money to the rich.
II silver makes prosperity--as lately l am
told
Why do the most enlightened, richest
countries stick to gold?
They're surely smart enough to see il
silver lands are blest
And strong enough to follow their ex-
ample--ifit's best.
If silver makes poor people rich-why
do they live on rats
In China, and in Mexico why do they
fight like cats?
And why are South America and India
so behind
in civilizations comforts for the body
and the mind
