IN AUSTIN SOCIETY.
deception BY Maj- Armstrong
and Daughter En Honor of
Ezrs. Maxey.

The Austin correspondence OF
the San Antonio Express of last
Sunday, has an account of a cotiI-
Eon given by Miss Jamie Arna-
strong on Wednesday night last to
to a number Of University students,
at the home of her father Major
John b. Armstrong, which was
followed the next day by a recep-
ton at the same mansion, in honor
of Mrs. L. s. Maxey. Following is
the account of the latter function,
which will doubtless interest
Brownsville readers:

casion, but was prevented by i'll
ness from being present. Major
Armstrong aud Miss Armstrong
aud Mrs. Maxey received the guests
ia the front psrlor, while Miss
Jamie Armstrong, assisted by sew
erai young ladies, presided at the
punch bowl, which occupied a place
at the far end of the large hail. A
prettier or more brilliant reception
never took place IN Austin and,
slthough this was their first effort
at entertaining, the Misses Arm
strong dispensed the favors in g
manner that at once proclaimed
them queens Of grace and charm
and Social successes in the fullest
acceptance Of that pleasing term.

CHEAP MONEY.
1t Is Lower in London Than in Any
Other Market.

New York, June 25.-The Times Lon
don financial correspondent cables:
A small change has come over the
bent of our money market, but whether
1t signifies more than the approach of
the half yearly bank balance sheet
framing cannot yet say. Money, how
ever, is now lower here than on any
other European market, cheaper even
than on the New York market when
heightened periods are concerned Six
months bank bills can be discounted
at from 9 to 31s per cent, which is
rate, think, unattainable on any other
market in the world Bills of shorter
currency have become a little more
difficult to manage since last Monday,
but three months paper can still be
melted at 25s per cent, which is slightly
below the finest quotation in Paris.
Since the bank rate came down con-
tinentaI exchanges have moved SO de-
cidedly against London as to create
small demand for gold on the Bank Of
England, besides sweeping away every
ounce of metal coming into the open
market As yet only French and Ger
man coins have been Withdrawn from
the banks vaults for shipment to Par
is and Berlin, and l do not apprehend
that German orders will go much fur
Their. Discount is falling and exchange
rising in Berlin and the Bank Of En-
gland has put up its price for German
coin almost as high as it dared without
exposing it's bar gold to be drawn
upon.
1 should be more confident under
these circumstances that Germany
would not hurt our market by taking
large quantities of gold were your ex-
change as high now as when the week
Just passed began New York's
weakness aggravates the position and
throws upon the London market what
ever bullion demands Europe may gen.
crate.
Paris is at the moment the most
threatening spot. Not only is French
exchange low. but the power Of the
French bankers over our market is
unusually strong through the spendings
of visitors from all parts of the world
now f1ocking into France to see the ex-
hibition. When gold goes from the
Bank of England to Paris on a de-
pressed exchange it does so not in tens
but in hundreds of thousands.
If we can escape this danger, and get
over the end of the half year without
large gold exports to South Africa o.
any other quarter, it is possible that
our discount market may slip back
again. but it cannot be far or for
long. We have seen, in my opinion, the
lowest discount rates. at least for this
year and it would not surprise me were
the bank rate to be raised again before
July is out
