Money.

RICHMOND, VA, August IL, 1897.
1t is easy to make money when
all conditions point to return of
real and continued prosperity.
What are the facts?
We have a conservative admin
istration. The country will be
governed in fairness to the inter-
ests of businessmen. The tariff
question is settled. The political
situation is such that nothing adj
verse can be done with the cur
rency for three years. Liquids
ton is finished. Leading papers
in Europe recognize the deficiency
of their crops. The United States
is the only country jim a position
to furnish necessary supplies.
Exchange has dropped sharply.
Securities have advanced hand
somely. Reactions are natural,
healthy. and to be expected.
The market declined this week
from one to three points, but
promptly recovered, and is now
advancing.
In the great period of business
revival from 1879 to 1881, when
money was dearer, securities sold
much higher.
Strong people may combine to
sell the market down to accumu-
late cheap stocks, but the future
is bright with promise, and in our
opinion, all good securities are
purchase.
There rarely comes an occasion
so favorable for the making OF
md2ey.
