his agent to finish the final transaction

with the brigands, considers Mr. Dickin-

they do not want to agree to terms that
would disgrace them with their brethren

bloodhounds Miss Stone would not be

The bank statement was worse than II
was expected TO be. showing a decrease Of
s. 5Iy9 100. The bulk is traceable to the gold
exports of the week, which aggregated
triHe more than $1,000, COO A decrease of
$6.n05. 500 in the lean account was not
thought remarkably large in view of the
active speculation for the rise in stocks
all the week. Deposits increased S. 100,
or a trife more than the increase in loans
minus the decrease in cash. This led to
an increase in the reserve requirements,
and thus it happens that the decrease OF
s.. 615 in the surplus is larger than the
decrease in cash. The surplus now stands
at nearly $ll, ,0O0,000. This is not hgure
which need necessarily justify alarm for
the money market, especially as the high
rates for money Will operate against e&-
portation of gold and will attract funds
from the interior, where there is the usual
spring lack OF necessity for money. II
is also significant that Government bonds
closed the week easier, with the short
fours quoted at a price a shade under
the upset figure that Secretary Gage has
placed for his purchase of these seeuri-
ties. This has led 10 the expectation that
big blocks VIII be offered TO him this

HARD TIM ES IN EUROPE.

Are we impoverishing the rest of the world while getting rich beyond the dreams of avarice? Judging from some of the talk in Europe, we might be jus tlfed in thinking so. Germans and Eng lishmen have made complaint that they can't hold their trade against us. and the shadow of "hard times" is creeping over Europe. Things must be pretty bad in Russia if they are as bad as the Industrial World of odessa says: Tt is no ordinary, temporary, fleeting or pass ing financial and industrial crisis which Russia faces. Her staple industries for some time have steadily languished from causes various and deep-rooted, which it is the governments duty to in- Vestigate. Money is daily becoming scarcer. No year in forty has opened under blacker auspices. The country IS within measurable distance all around of an economic collapse"
