MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL.

NEW YORK, July 20.-Speculation was &C.
tive and excited throughout the morning ses.
sion The action of the banks in placing part
of their gold at the disposal of the Treasury
Department; higher cables and foreign buying
and statements that movement was on foot
to throw obstacles in the way of gold exports
all having strengthening influence. Prices
advanced sharply, the principle buying com.
ing from the shorts. at the advance some of
the small traders endesvored to realize profits,
but when this became evident the big bears
began selling again and the whole list fell
back 1a to DIS per cent. The market then
rallied slightly, but was very feverish. There
was very little doing in the way of commits.
sion business and at IL o'clock speculation
was irregular and in the main weak. Stocks
improved rapidly after IL o'clock and the best
prices of the day were made in number of
instances.

Run ON Mexican Dollars.


New Orleans is shipping from 1000 to 5000
Mexican silver dollars daily TO other towns.
1t is probably the largest incursion of Mexican
dollars TO this country. Because of its near
ness and trade relations with Mexico there is
always a large stock of the dollars for sale as
curiosities. purchased from Mexican sailors and
others passing through the town, but that sup
ply is likely TO be exhausted soon il the present
demand is kept up.
The dollars are ordered either by large manu.
facturers who want to use them arguments
with their employees by Offering to double their
wages if they will take Mexican silver dollars,
or by the Mckinley cam paign clubs. Mexican
dollars are generally bought by the New Orleans
brokers for 4S cents. They command so cents on
the average, but the brokers are taking advan-
tage of the present campaign demand for them,
and the sales North have been at 90 cents each.
The brokers anticipate big demand during
the campaign. and will order from Mexico to
replenish their supply. There is some demand
for Central American dollars, but not as great
as the Mexican article. and they are ranging
lower in price as a consequence.

H. G. RUSSELL.

Republican Nominee for Commissioner of
Public Lands and Buildings of Nebraska.
1t gives US pleasure to note that in selecting
candidates for State Offices the Republican
party of Nebraska in its recent convention re.
nominated for the position of Commissioner Of
Public Lands and Buildings Comrade Henry c..
Russell, brief sketch of whom we present for
the information of our readers. He was born
in Cadiz o., in I643, and 10 years later re-
moved TO Charlottesville, Iowa. His grand
father was soldier in the war of 1872, and
was among those whose brave defense of Fort
McHenry made the "Star Spangled Banner"
through the genius of Francis Scott Key, a
possibility. With such an ancestry, it is not
to be wondered that when the news of Fort
Sumter's fall was first announced he should
unhitch his horses from the plow and mme-
diately enlist as a private soldier in Co. II,
I'd Iowa.
The National tribune., 1896-08-13

Though twice severely wounded. he refused
the proffered discharge, but insisted on remain.
ing at his post during the entire war, returning
to his home in 1866 He subsequently engaged
in farm labor, availing himself of every oppor-
tunity of securing education. He finally
graduated from the Iowa City Law School, and
was admitted to the bar in 1873.
In 1876 he removed to Schuyler, Neb.; was
elected County Judge the following year, and
served two terms was a member of the Legs-
lature in 1886 Presidential elecior in 1883,
and two years ago he was elected to the Office
OF Commissioner Of Public Lands and Build
ings. As a painstaking, conscientious official,
who stands high in the estimation of his fellow
men, the Colonel merits this honorable recog-
milton. He is intimately known to the voters
throughout the State, and at Reunions, State
| Encampments, and on all occasions that bring
| the boys together, is one of the most conspcu-
Gus and able speakers among them. At the
last National Encampment at Louisville, KY,
! the Louisville press paid him many high COM
pliments on the speeches he made there at the
| different Campfres. He has been Commander
OF the Nebraska GAR. His reelection to the
Office be now holds is assured.

The Georgia Populists have decided to fuse
with the Prohibitionists.
It is estimated that Bryan will carry Montana

the vote has stood Republican, $4,000; Demo
