FINANCIAL.
Money.

RICHMOND, Va, August IL, 1891
1t is easy to make money when
all conditions point to a return of
real and continued prosperity.
What are the facts?
We have 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. Liquida-
ton is finished. Leading papers
in Europe recognize the deficiency
of their crops. The United States
is the only country in 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 a
purchase.
There rarely comes an occasion
so favorable for the making of
money.
Write to us for facts and figures.
Very truly yours,

Albert Lafayette and Jesse Oliver
Discharged From Custody.

on Saturday last Albert Lafayette
stood up before Justice Davis, pleaded
guilty to having held Jesse Oliver while
Bennis Bauman beat him, and was SEN
fenced TO serve twenty days in the

Yesterday morning it took just about
a half minute to grant him new trial
and order his discharge.
Lafayette, Bauman and Oliver are
boys ranging from l. to Il years of
age. and the latter, who claimed TO
have been severely beaten, appeared,
according to Justice Davis, in the guise
of a goody- -goody boy. and Lafayette
was accordingly convicted and sen
fenced.
Bennie Bauman's case came up yes
terday morning, and the Oliver boy,
while on the witness stand, admitted
that he had called both Bennie and his
mother bad names.
Bennie Bauman told his story and
when he was through City Attorney
Brown said
Il think you are q pretty good boy
Bennie, and did just right, and shall
ask the court to discharge you"
Bennie was discharged accordingly,
and. as heretofore stated. young Lafay-
cite was granted a new trial on the
spot and an order entered for his dis
charge from the County Jail.
