/. MONEY IN NEW. YORK.

In the money columns Of the N. Y.
Tribune of September 81. we find It re-
ported of the previous days transac-

and wealthy brokers; and we see that
1t is now confessed in New York, since
even there there is a great want of
money among weak and average deal
ers.
Elsewhere the Tribune makes a re-
mark that ought to open the eyes Of
the Richmond Times. which holds that
the money-centrcs have some mysterl-
Gus attraction for all good money and
any amount of it: but the Tribunes
money article truly says that, other
things being equal:
Money goes where it is needed the
most. and just at present It is in good
demand at this centre. In yesterdays
market call loans were again quoted at
stiff figures. afternoon rates running as
high as 20 per cent There have been
times when money has advanced TO 80

the evidence. of one Of them. The ac-
count given is as follows:
..It was and is the custom at the
yards for contractors to deliver horse
tails TO the glue works anu ,in return
receive orders on the cashier OF the b &
packing houses for their pay. yesey
said That under his instructions Sher-
win took u few horse tails to the works
and brought the order for cash he re-
ceived to Eesey. This order the clerk
raised and Sherwin had 1t cashed, he
said. This swindle, thus started, went
on month after month, confessed the
Witness. The number of horse tails
was not written out In letters on the
order so il was comparatively easy to
raise the orders, and 1t seems that the
packing house had no way to detect
the swihdle by checking up"
The holise-tails, we infer, are vouch-
crs for horses delivered. and hardly all
is converted into glue. Wonder if the
horse does not enter into other manu-
features and connections? The public
would like to know all about it. as so
much is told.
