DRY GOODS.

New York, Oct. 21.-There has been no
particular feature in the dry goods mar
ket to-day to break previously existing
monotony. Both the spot demand and
the demand coming forward through the
mails have, been confined, in nearly all
instances, to small orders to cover imme-
date requirements.

EUROPEAN LETTER.
tFrom oar Special Correspondent.)
Rome, Italy, June 2, 1896.

A French writer has said that an
Englishman listens to music, French
man hears it; Il German analyses it,
and an Italian feels it. However this
may be, no one can be long in the
land of Verdi and Rossini without
realizing tina. this is the country Of
music !; it impresses every visitor with
the force of an original observation.
There is music every afternoon in the
public parks or squares /; music as the
soldiers march through the streets,
music at almost any hour in the
countless churches, and what is most
striking, the loungers and beggars lift
up their voices, (and very good voices
they are, as u rule) not in the hope of
few extra pennies. but just for the
Joy of singing. The boys that stroll
along the streets sing instead of
whistling, and their selections denote
more classical taste than is posses.
sed by their brother gamips in Amerl.
ca. One hears the Siciliana from
Cavalleria or the solo from Mignon
instead of "Only One Girl" or para
disc Alley" One IS liable to be
awakened at any time between mid
night and daybreak by resounding
duets or chOruses, as citizens roam
from the cafe-chantants homeward;
but instead of arresting them on the
charge of "drunk and disorderly," the
gendarmes listen with the air OF con-
noisseurs, and show an inclination to
interfere only when the singers happen
to be off the key. As il matter of
fact, they are not drunk they merely
wish to give expression to the music
With which every Italians soul is
filled.
For change, ore can hear almost
any day thelugubrious chant of fuleral
professions. The monrners go on
foot, and there is ALWAYS long line of
monks, carrying lighted candies and
singing. Sometimes they ;.re accom-
panied by the Misericordia, and then
it is a sight worth seeing. This is a
charitable fraternity which assists

GOLD IN THE COIN.

Despite oft reiteration, the state
ment that there is 500 worth of gold
in 500 gold piece, and it's consequent
demonstration of the unimportance of
the government stamp in giving the
coin value, is frequently called in
question. An interesting and author
itative answer to this oft ft-repeated in
quiry has bee n obtained by the Balti-
more Sun from r. E. Preston, tue di-
rector of the government mint. The
questions and answers of Mr.. Preston
are as follows:
"Wbat do yon give for gold Z"
Answer. The government pays for
gold at the rate of $20.67 per ounce
fine, Oh $3.50 per ounce standard (.9
fine).
''Is there charge for minting, and !,
ii So, how much is it ~
A. The government makes no
charge for coming gold.
lis there Il charge for the copper
used to prepare gold for the mint -
A. When the bullion deposited is
not suitable for coinage, and requires
parting and refining, charges are made
for these operations equal to the ex-
pense incurred i'll eliminating the base
metals and parting the gold from the
silver when the two metals are com
bined. There is also charge of 2
cents per ounce for copper required
for alloy. Upon gold bullion of stan
dard fineness-that is. conta ming 8

What is 800 gold piece worth in

A. Twenty dollars, if it has lost
nothing in the melting.
The fact plainly appears. therefore,
that Il $50 gold piece is worth $40 by

by reason rf the government stamp or

In other words. the gold obtains no
Increase OF value in the process Of
coinage. n" appreciable part Of its
value is dne to The mint's stamp. and
the proof Of this is tnat. ii melted
