New York. Aug. 21.-Bradstrccts', to-

volume of business is no larger. Where
orders have increased in number they
are smaller in size. In almost all in
stances they are based on nearby re-
quirementS.
The feature of the week is the in
creased difficulty in making collections
and the higher rates for mercantile dis
counts Credits are being scanned more
closely than heretofore and are granted
less freely. Chicago bankers are slow
to make loans except to move the crops
and Chicago bank deposits are de-
creasing; foreign banks there are de
manding gold notes.
Portland, Oregon, announces that
many coast bankers are restricting
loans. with the natural effect on trade.

OUR COUNTY DADS.
How Their Work is Progressing Settle
ment with Treasurer and Balances
A Talk on State School Moneys
How We Get It.

Our county board has had a very busy
week and will adjourn this evening to
meet again next week. Mr.. Buxton, the
new member shows good business ability
in office and the board is getting along
very h~armoniously. Most OF their work
this week has been the auditing of bills,
examing the condition of poor farm,
storing county grain, settling with the
county treasurer and hearing petitions.
They have a great many petitions from
different parts of the county for the
abatement of taxes, for help of some kind
to individuals or townships, but all de-
handing, in a sense, money from the
county. The work next week will
be mainly occupied in examining
into and acting up on these
petitions and attachments, and check.
ing up the county auditor.
In looking into the affairs OF the couli,
ty treasurer, the board found matters O.
X. and Mr.. Jennings books showed a
cash balance IN hand January l, 1896, OF
l7,1OS.55. Tince that time up to Janu-
ary 10th, there has been received 4,644.-
As additional with disbursements of
$2,S9O.32, leaving a balance in the treas
ury yesterday Of s~lS,862,eS.
In conversation with the board aud
auditor in references to the loaning of
school moneys a fact developed which is
perhaps not generally known by the
people at large. In order to get money
from the school fund it is necessary to
make application to the county before
the county can receive the money from
the state. As many do not know this,
some come to the county expecting to
borrow money and get it at once, and find.
ing they cannot, they 60 elsewhere to he
more readily accommodated. This
ought not to be the case. Parties want
ing this money should apply some time
in, advance to give the county IN oppor-
tunitp to get it. The state pursues this
course in order that money not wanted
by one county csn be loaned in another,
and thus kept all the state money out at
interest. But in this way. Lake county
has a very small proportion Of the share
o~tfstate money to which she is entitled,
while other counties have far in excess.
In the first years of this state loaning,
our people were very lax in this matter
and 9 sent money back, we under
stand, after it was sent here. The more
of this We car get out in the county the
better. 1t has a tendency to reduce ex-
horbltant rates Of interest. Make ap.
phcations early.
Piles of people nave piles, but De Wits
Witch Hazel Sslve will cure them
When promptly applied it cures scalds
and burns without the slightest main.
