in the general list, the market falling
into intense dullness with the declining
tendency.
The known movements of money for
the week indicate a loss in cash to the
banks of nearly $500, 000 1881, 900 Of
which went to the sub-treasury. None
of the gold which went recently to Mon
treal has been returned and no gold has
come from the sub treasury. Without
regard, therefore, to the possible hid
den drain of cash sharp net decline
in surplus reserves is probable unless
the contraction in loans has been much
larger than appeared. Interior ex-
changes on New York at several i'm
portant points showed declines today
and there was considerable calling Of
loans.
The late decline in the money rate to
2 per cent had little significance. The
rate was quite firm during the day
about per cent. Contrary to recent ex-
perience sterling exchange failed to
weaken in response to the firmness of
money here and closed only a fraction
under London. Dealings in bonds were
mostly in the speculative issues at i'm
proved prices. Total sales par value

MANY MINERS MEET DEATH.
Terrible Explosion of Coal Damp at
Carbonate, Wash.

Eighty men went down into tunnel No.
Carbonate, Wash, and five hours later
an explosion of coal damp took place.
More than thirty OF this number are
dead. Twenty MANNED, burned and blind
ed survivors were drawn up, more dead
than alive. Those who were not killed
outright by the force OF the explosion
were hem ned in by falling walls pinned
down by splintered timbers and suffocated
by the deadly fumes of black damp which
Immediately filled the mine.
The explosion occurred between 10 and
II o'clock, rs near as can be ascertained.
The men were gathering at the mouth OF
the tunnel preparatory for changing for
the noon shift. There was an enormous
rumbhng sound, and then Ii ceased alb
ruptly The residents OF the village knew
the terrible meaning Of this and hasten

pouring from, the mine.

nearly two hours before communication
was opened up with the tunnel In which

Steadily Marching On, in the Face of
Drawbacks, in Old Virginny.
Here IN Virginia, perhaps as much as
anywhere except where the grad" tcs
of Booker Washingtons manual ,rln-
ing system are at work, the negro's adj
vance is most marked. Not that there
are many rich negroes or particularly
able ones. But throughout the black
belt of the James and Roanoke River
valleys there is revolution in land ten
ure going on, and, while there are lazy
aud shiftless black men, just as there
are lazy aud shiftless white men. there
is a surprisingly large nGnber of col
ored men who own land; not merely
building lots, but small facms, writes
a Richmond correspondent
This began within a few years after
land poor. He had neither slaves nor
money with which to hire farm hands.
In comes the 'darky hustler" of the
neighborhood, and offers to work for
him for a share of the crop, or for a
little piece of land that he could call his
great many cases except TO accept the
offer. The few acres of land which this
colored man eventually acquired might
be covered with timber, but there was
plenty of time to clear it on open and
dry winter days, Of which there are
many up to Christmas. The timber
itself furnished some good building ma
terial, and it was not great while be-
fore the ''colored hustler" was living in
his own cabin on his acres, and culsi-
waiting them when not at work by the
day for the white man.
The second stage was the effect of
this example on the other colored people
in the neighborhood. This was slow
but sure in its working The white peo-
pie would help the process along by
making offers of little land to colored
men who had none, and would point to
the pioneer "colored hustler" as a shin
ing example.
The third stage was when the "col-
orcd hustler's" prosperity grew till he
substituted frame house for log cab
in, and had secondhand green shutters
on his windows. flowers in his yard. a
neat wire fence around his property,
and pair of steers and cart.
The Virginia coiored man OF this ris-
ing type may have his faults. He may
not be an angel or a saint, but he has
generally ''got religion" The 'coiored
hustler" always Is ready to turn an
honest dollar by doing a days work for
somebody else He gets the dollar, half
In cash and half IN three meals for that
day. the foreknowledge OF which helps
madam in the cabin TO economic IN the
consumption Of pig and corn bread.
Often he buys his groceries by giving
his labor in return. and until he builds
his own house he pays his rent by
working for the white landlord whose
cabin ne occupies. He pays out little
cash. and scorns the old-tme bounties
of secondhand clothing from the white
people discarded attire. He may
deign to accept them as gifts, but he
viii not count them as considerations in
part for actual labor
