no serious differences exist. Ihe decline
in Union Pacific 10 explained by tho
persistent attacks upon tho Government in
connection with the proposed reorganization Of
the Union Pacific system. The weekly state

legal tenders was entirely unexpected, and
go was the decrease Of nearly S7,o00,0o0 in tho

is returning cash to this city and also iquidating
tho accommodation secured when the crop
movement began. This return movement OF
currency will doubtless BIO modified as soon az
the yellow fever embargo at tho South Is raised
and cotton begins to move to market moro
freely than at present.
Regarding the decline in tho price OF cotton
to-day 1t is TO DO noted that tho selling
appeared to be in liquidation Of a largo
speculative line. As the receipts of lawful
money by the banks we're somewhat in exce,s
of tho liquidation of looms. the deposits

but this comparatively small increase permits
tho greater part OF the lawful money re.
ceived to figure in the surplus reserve.
