ONE OF the best resolutions all Alex
andrians could make for theyear that has
lust commenced, would be to buy every
thing they have to use, at home
By doing so they would save time and
trouble, and not only help the merchants
but every body else, including them
selves, for the merchants would then
be enabled to have larger stocks and to
sell them cheaper, and the profits o.
their increased business would also be
expended here, and the growth of one
business necessarily speeds the progress
of all the others.

4 DISPATCH from st. Petersburg, in
reference to the Venezuela imbroglio,
saws: "Russia will observe complete
neutrality in the matter, her interests
not being affected in the dispute" The
Russian government is wise, and as the
interests of the United States are not
affected in the matter, their govern
ment also should have observed strict
neutrality. But the President didn't
think so, and all parties, in both branches
of Congress, agreed with him.

Gov. Morton for President,

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Mr. Thomas
G. Platt to-da:, announced that Gov.
Levi P. Morton is candidate for the
republican nomination for President.
Mi. Platt said Governor Morton
has consented to enter the race and his
friends will now go to work for him all
along the line. He will not make any
formal statement himself, but he has
told his friends that he is candidate.
From the information have I am con.
fdent that the Governor will be nom.
mated at the st. Louis convention. /
regard him as the strongest candidate
in the race"
There is an impression among repub.
lican politicians that Mr.. Platt will
personally direct the preliminary can
vass of Gov. Morton, and that Senator
QUAY with the Pennsylvania delega-
ton will soon fall into line for the Gov
ernor.
Mr.. Chauncey M. Depew says: "The
decision of Governor Morton to become
a candidate for the presidency has CIV
en- universal satisfaction in this State,
and he will be heartily and unitedly
supported"
Ex-senator Warner Miller says
"Goyernor Morton has consented to be-
come candidate for the presidency.
he has done so at the solicitation of his
friends, and do not think we could
have stronger man. We have in him
a candidate of our own, and he will re-
ceive the support of all the republicans
of New York State. I may also say
that he is quite as strong in very many
States of the union, south and west"

THE New Loan.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-There are no
new developments in bond matters
thus far to. day. 1t is generally agreed
that all the necessary arrangements for
handling the new loan of the
Treasury Department, if it should
determine upon an issue, have
been perfected at this end. The
street is now waiting to hear from
Washington and according to good
Judges it will not have to wait long
either.
It is generally believed that the big
bankers will not bind themselves to
control the foreign exchanges as they
did in February. The inquiry for gold
for bond purposes keeps on. The quo
tation now is 1a1i per cent. If these
rates should continue, bullion dealers
assert it will lead to imports Of gold on
large scale.
The local banks were in receipt of
numerous applications from their out
of town correspondents to-day for
blocks of the new government loan
which the Morgan syndicate proposes
to take. 1t is stated that the applica-
tons, both domestic and foreign, now
exceed 5000, 100000. 1t is understood
that in the allotment preference will be
given to the foreign firms who will have
to guarantee that the bonds will not be
returned here, as was the case with the
bulk of the bonds sold abroad in Feb.
ruary last. Next in order will come
the out-of-town institutions and then
the local banks, trust companies, firms
and individual capitalists. President
John A. Stewart, of the Union Trust
Company will, it is said, leave for
Washington this afternoon, presumably
for the purpose of consulting with the
treasury officials about the new issue.

The BOND IssUE.-The expectation
is that on next Monday President
Cleveland will send to the Congress q
message announcing that he is about to
enter into contract with q syndicate
of New York bankers for the purchase
of one hundred million dollars worth
of four per cent. bonds under the au.
thority conferred by the resumption
act. Whether he will announce that
his contract includes an option for q
second batch of the same number of
bonds is not known, though it is prob
able that he will. At all events, it is
now conceded that such is the nature
of the contract. Mr.. Cleveland pro.
poses to settle the question of the gold
reserve in such q way that it will not
trouble him again for the remainder of
